Chapter 16
After returning all the books to the bookstore, Adrien walked out and saw Angus and Anthony.
Do you guys love reading too?” Adrien walked toward them and asked.
“We’re here to keep you safe, Mr. Higgins
“What? Have you guys been following me all morning? Were you around me all the time?”
“Yes, Mr. Higgins.”
“Did you have lunch? You must be hungry Let’s go have lunch”
“Mr. Higgins, Jaxton made cuisine for you at home.”
“Oh, right. I have a chef now”
“Let me drive you home, Mr Higgins. Anthony will take a cab
“Alright.”
Adrien still needed some time to adapt to his new life with a housekeeping team, but it was
understandable. He had lived alone without a single servant for thest 22 years. Suddenly, he was
surrounded by all these people. Adrien certainly needed time to take all this
When he got in the car. Adrien closed his eyes to predict the stock market on Wednesday and
rmended one stock to his friends in the chat group. He didn’t tell them all the stocks be favored,
Adrien’s three friends would earn a fortune even if one of the stocks he rmended hardened
Adrien’s friends saw his message and immediately put all their money into the stock Adrien
rmended.
[Thank you for introducing your friend to me. Adrien! She bought amercial car and a sedan car
without hesitation! TI give your cut once I get mymission next month, man!] Gilberto wrote
excitedly in the group.
[That’s okay. You keep it! I’ll let you know if anyone else wants to buy a car.]
Adrien chatted with his friends for a while, and suddenly, something struck him.
“System, I have a question. Will it help increase my EXP in the System if I have a girlfriend and spend
money for her?”
“Yes. Your girlfriend will be an integral part of your life.“
“I see. How about my housekeeping team? Will my EXP increase if I give my staff money and ask them
to buy necessities for
me?”
“Certainly,”
Adrien smiled. He found a loophole!

When he returned home, the cuisine was ready.
“Hello, Mr. Higgins Sylvia greeted Adrien while sorting out the things to be purchased with other staff
and wrote them down on the list.
“Your lunch is ready. Mr. Higgins. Anthony told me about your taste. So I prepared these for you.” The
chef brought a te of cheese lobster as he spoke
“Thank you. You’ve cooked so much Please join me as well!”
“We are servants, Mr. Higgins. It’s not our ce to… Adrien interrupted before Sylvia could finish
speaking.
I’m telling you to sit and eat! I can’t eat them all. It would be a waste if you threw the leftovers away
later. Plus, you’ve been working all morning. It’s time to rx. How much did the cars and all these
things cost, Sylvia?”
“We spent 320 thousand dors today for two cars, car–rted things like license tes and
insurances, two parking spots, and daily necessities, Mr. Higgins.”
“Come on, sit here. Let’s have lunch together and chat for a while.”
Adrien had to force them into seats and cat with him. During lunch, Adrien proposed buying everyone a
car, so they could go wherever they wanted more quickly. He felt sorry to his bodyguards. Adrien didn’t
want everyone around him to feel neglected!
People were touched, but Sylvia refused instantly.
“We don’t need cars, Mr. Higgins. We already have two, which is more than enough for us. Please
don’t squander money on cars. We ought to reduce costs, Mr. Higgins.”
“It’s okay. Oh, Sylvia. I n to set up an investmentpany. Which city do you think it’s best, Reburg,
Trified, or Sunrise City?”
“It depends on your business scope and investment amount, Mr. Higgins.”
“I see. I’m not sure how much money I’ll pool, but I’ll start with securities business.”
“Reburg will be good enough if it’s a small securitiespany with a shoestring. However, if it’s a big
one, like an Angel Investment that makes money by investing in new projects, Sunrise City or Trified
will be a better choice. There are more investment opportunities in those two cities than in Reburg!”
“Right. Reburg is a small city.”
“May I ask what you do for a living. Mr. Higgins?”
“Me? I’m unemployed right now, except I’m a sleeping partner of apany. We bought many
recement buildings and await the government to relocate the local people.”
“Recement buildings?”
“Yes. I have a Joint Property Ownership Certificate for those recement buildings on my nightstand.”
Joint Property Ownership Certificate?” Sylvia was astonished. She knew what that meant!
Not anyone could get a Joint Property Ownership Certificate. One must own at least a hundred houses
to get that!
“Mr. Higgins, may I ask how many houses you have purchased?”
“Only 6,000 houses. What’s wrong?”
“Oh, my!”
“Wow!”
Everyone was greatly impressed by how wealthy Adrien was! He was vastly rich!
“You made an excellent choice buying those houses, Mr. Higgins!” Angus gave a thumbs–up to Adrien!
“Oh I just received a message. Mr. Higgins. There will be a big auction in the Crown Emperor Hotel of
Reburg on the 10th day of next month. Will you go and have a look!”
Auction What will be auctioned
“Well, there will be antiques, jewelry, and stock shares of smallpanies. I’ll ask them to send you an
invitation letter if you want to check it out.”
“Does it cost money to get invited?”
“Yes, Mr. Higgins. Everyone needs an invitation letter to get into the auction. A basic invitation letter
costs 300 thousand dors, but it can be cashed out and used in the auction.”
“Basic invitation letter?”
“Yes. People with basic invitation letters will sit behind the third row, and you can buy unlimited basic
invitation letters. However, one can only buy three invitation letters if they want VIP seats in the first
three rows, and the cost for each row will be different.”
“I didn’t expect it to be soplicated. How much does it cost to sit in a VIP seat?”
“It costs 700 thousand dors to sit on the third row, 1.1 million dors on the second row, and 1.7
million dors on the first row. Each row has twelve seats. It’s quite expensive even for the rich people
in Reburg.”
