88 [Rivalry Detected]
[Stamp obtained successfully!]
I kept up the grin on my face as I drove home.
I'd left Elsa at her office. After that... intense physical activity, she'd wanted to get more work in. Apparently, her creative juices were flowing, if you get what I mean.
That woman was a workaholic. Both in business and in bed.
My grin somehow grew wider as the memories returned to the forefront of my mind.
I finally got to the apartment and after parking, went up to my penthouse. I made my way to the kitchen's island where my laptop was waiting. I'd kept up the tradition of doing important work in the kitchen even in this new house.
I booted up the laptop and checked my email. What I was waiting for hadn't arrived. They'd assured me they'd get it done by today.
I sighed. Maybe they hadn't finished up with it. Just in case, I'll wait.
In the meantime, I decided to check my status and see where I stand.
The blue screen appeared in front of me with the details.
[Status Screen]
[Name: Nicholas Voss]
[Cashback Rate: 10x (Base Rate)]
[Stamps collected: 3/99]
[Assets: $3.520 billion]
[Liquidity: $197 million]
[Liabilities: N/A]
[Net Worth: $3.7 billion]
[Total Cashback earned: $3.570 billion]
[Pending Cashback: 1 (Elsa Klarsson)]
According to the public, I was worth $3.5 billion but as can be seen from the screen, my true valuation was $3.7 billion, counting Cooper Real Estate, Mila Devon's cosmetic brand and the amount currently sitting in my bank account.
Coupled with the debt I'd incurred when I stamped Quinn Adams, I had invested into a top notch analyst team to prepare comprehensive reports on each stamp holder so I don't find myself in the same trouble as last time.
After a minute, it went away and the screen changed.
[Assets calculated.]
[Liabilities calculated.]
[Debts calculated.]
[Net Worth: $2 billion.]
I fist pumped. "Fuck yeah!"
[Reward: $20 billion.]
I quickly turned my eyes back to the system. This was where I'd find out if my hunch was right.
The system blinked and another message took its place.
[Notice: A rivalry with billionaire Wang Tae Bin has been detected. His company, Walk Shop, is currently facing a crisis. Would you like to purchase it using a portion of your reward?]
[Yes/No.]
I breathed a sigh of relief. My hunch was true! The system really did act on my desires!
I'd noticed when I'd stamped Alyssa Gyokares. The system had noticed that I wanted my debt to be cleared as soon as possible and had brought the option for me to do so. Now, it was bringing me the option to buy Walk Shop.
I had no idea if Wang's investors truly wanted to sell but this had confirmed another theory of mine. The system was powerful enough to influence people to get the result it desired.
This meant that Quinn's blow up at the scandal involving her brother had to be a work of the system.
I sighed and clicked yes on the prompt.
[Processing...]
[Purchase made. Walk Shop acquired for $15 billion.]
[Recalculating reward...]
[Reward: $20 billion.]
I grinned at the screen. My reward was still twenty billion but I'd spent three fourths to acquire Walk Shop. Now, I had an in to the tech market and the battle I'd been fighting was finally over.
I'd won.
