Chapter 76: What Do We Have Here?
Kyle couldn't believe that Jones was running away from having sex with his wife but this could also mean that he couldn't keep up with her libido.
That was dangerous, Jones had to learn to because there was no telling what a sexually frustrated woman was capable of.
Jones had to learn how to satisfy her but maybe it wasn't that simple.
Kyle knew that women had a way of wearing men down but the fact that Jones had a job and probably wanted to get the rest that had evaded him till now.
"About the quota, I know you have been waiting for it, but I have drawn up the budget, and the numbers frighten even me. I'm trying my best to bring it down and remove things that aren't necessary," Jones said, bringing up the all-important topic that Kyle waited for.
"You do not believe I can pay for it?" Kyle questioned with a raised brow.
He expected Jones to play the fool but he nodded to confirm this was indeed the case.
"I don't. After all, $5,500,000 isn't easy to come by," Jones responded. This building had multiple apartments but only a few were in service as the other rooms were too faulty to live in.
There were approximately 22 rooms excluding Kyle and Jones' apartment which would take up to 24.
Kyle sighed before leaning back on his chair; locking eyes with Jones. He understood that Jones was being considerate but this wasn't the way to go.
Maybe it was because he said he could keep all the profits that was why he was self-conscious?
He didn't want Kyle to do all the heavy lifting while he just benefited from it, that would make him feel like he was a liability.
"You know after this, I'm never paying rent again, right?" Kyle asked. The question was an odd one but it would allow Jones to do something for Kyle to lessen the burden on his conscience.
"And as for the $5,500,000. Where am I sending it to?" Kyle continued.
He was shocked to hear this, Kyle spoke like he had that amount sitting in his account.
"Quit joking around," Jones responded but Kyle simply took out his phone and waited for Jones to give him his account details.
"Well?" Kyle questioned and an eerie smile crept up on his face but this was when Kyle realized this was an opportunity for him to multiply his money.
"You know what, give me your wife's details instead before you get too excited and lose it," Kyle responded and judging from Jones' facial expression, he didn't mind this.
"She's the one that manages our finances," Jones responded with a smile and in no time, the sum of $5,500,000 was transferred to her account.
[Ding!]
[Spent $5,500,000. 50X Critical Hit. Earned $275,000,000! The money has been transferred to account XXX-XXX-XXX!]
[Spent at least $5,000 on a beautiful lady!]
This took his sum to $476,000,000, this was a smart move on his part but this was what Jones didn't understand.
Kyle already made back not only his investment but the potential profits of a couple of years with this, he made sure that he didn't go over a billion.
It was only a matter of time before he did but for now, all his needs could be satisfied with his current net worth because he was essentially in the top 10% when it came to money.
Jones heard his phone ring and as he expected, it was Aiysha, Aiysha was transparent with their finances and informed her husband of everything within the account.
She was acting as an accountant, the same course she majored in college.
Jones picked up and he tried his best to hide his excitement but he couldn't, he didn't know how Kyle became this rich overnight but it wasn't in his place to pry and frankly, he didn't care because he knew that it must be legitimate if it was Kyle.
Jones' face creased into a full teeth smile, Kyle could hear Aiysha's excitement over the phone.
Truth be told, they thought Kyle would pay in instalments and not cough up the entire thing at once but he did. The phone call soon came to an end.
"I think I might go back home now," Jones said and Kyle knew that this must have put him in the mood. The thought made him cringe and he quickly pushed it from his mind but this was the final piece of the puzzle before he went all out with his system.
He was going to spend time with women but noticed that his affection bar hadn't been influenced this past week despite him not being in constant contact with the women in his life.
Was it locked at 100%? That would certainly make things a lot easier but he needed to experiment a little more to be certain about this.
The moment Jones left his house, Kyle couldn't help but picture the kind of faces Aiysha would make with a cock inside her but once again, these were thoughts he shouldn't be having.
He spoke with Cassandra but it was once in a while, she was a decent woman and the more Kyle spoke to her, the more guilty he felt about what he planned to do.
She had a kid and this would no doubt ruin her marriage. Kyle was anything but heartless because this was something that he didn't want to happen.
He knew he had to keep his intrusive thoughts under control and hoped that he could keep Cassandra as a friend because the last thing he needed right now was her sneaking her way into his harem.
That would complicate things but if the same requirement was to max out the affection bar, Kyle knew he would have to settle for this current level of his system.
In retrospect, it was more than enough for him so there was no need to level up except he would most likely be forfeiting the lottery tickets that only seemed to be given when he levelled up or reached a milestone.
Kyle chuckled at the thought of it all, he knew there was a ticket waiting for him when he reached billionaire status but the fact that he could be a trillionaire in the future just hit him.
There was no limit to what he could do then but he knew he would have made some powerful enemies as well.
There was no way he wouldn't gain enemies regardless of how carefully he lived his life but he was getting ahead of himself.
This was nothing to worry about right now, he needed to enjoy and appreciate the moment because time had a way of flying by too quickly.
But just as he was in his thoughts, he got a message from Cassandra.
This wasn't the most surprising thing, she sounded upset and angry, Kyle didn't know whether he should respond or wait for a few minutes until she calmed down.
He didn't want to deal with any emotional burden that came with this conversation and this was why Kyle was hesitant to respond right away.
"Fuck it," Kyle cussed under his breath before looking at his phone but she was still sending more messages.
The single message that got his attention was her asking him to come over so they could talk.
Kyle knew the safer option would be to get her out of the house before the husband returns and shanks him, that was the last thing that he wanted to happen right now.
Imagine building yourself up and having the cheat code to conquer life only to be killed by a woman's jealous husband. That would be a pathetic ending to such a promising life.
This could also be a set-up, Kyle didn't know Cassandra that well enough to trust her.
He wasn't just anyone and that was beginning to sink in, he was slowly becoming a man of high status and he couldn't be seen with just anyone.
Then a thought hit him, what if he invited her over to his house?
It was in the perfect condition to receive a guest like her but he understood that things could go south as well.
Kyle sighed as he put down his phone he realized it wasn't worth the risk and decided to focus his energy on what he was building.
Women have brought down the greatest of men and Kyle knew he wouldn't be an exception.
"I should probably call up Calista, I'm backed up…" Kyle thought to himself but he wanted to see Jane too. Explore m,v,l,e,mpyr today.
Kyle sighed while opening the cyan screen to initiate the lottery draw by pressing [YES]
The draw was initiated and before he knew it, what he drew came to light.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! You have drawn Extreme Endurance!]
[Extreme Stamina: The host's body can endure ten times what the average athlete can endure in regards to stamina!]
Congratulations! You have drawn Begone Thot!]
[Begone Thot: The host has been granted the ability to dismiss a lady from his harem!]
[Congratulations! You have drawn a Black Card!]
[Black Card: This card is directly linked to the host's bank and can be used with every ATM across the world!]
And it was just as Kyle suspected, the lottery picked abilities or skills that would best aid him at the time.
That was evident by his newfound ability which would most certainly help with his workout.
"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Kyle exclaimed the moment he felt the black card in his pocket.
