Chapter 20


    When Adrien clicked the Skills keyst time, his memory got much better than before. Therefore, he


    thought things would be the same this time. He clicked the Blessing key and waited for something to


    happen.


    He didn’t expect the System would wish him never to get sick. Others might think it was a useless wish,


    but it was the best wish Adrien could want!


    “Great thanks, System! About Raffles, I want to draw one now.”


    “Ding! Please get ready to draw a Raffle, Host.”


    Adrien closed his eyes. Three golden red boxes appeared before him and began to rotate quickly.


    Adrien reached out and grabbed one box just as he was getting dizzy.


    “I’ll choose this one! They are making me sick.”


    “Ding! Please click the box you have chosen, Host”


    Adrien did as the System told him.


    “Ding! You just got a mansion worthy of 600 million dors in downtown Sunrise City, Host. Here are


    the keys and property certificate!”


    Adrien was trembling with joy when he heard the System. He had never been to any mansion and only


    saw it on television. But now, he would own a mansion in Sunrise City worth 600 million dors!


    Adrien wondered how much coverage area such a castle would be.


    He decided to move to Sunrise City for the sake of System after he finished his business in Postport.


    It would be a huge waste if Adrien left a grand castle lying idle.


    Adrien could rx now as he had used all four function keys overnight. He wouldn’t have to worry


    about missing out on things the new function keys might offer if the System upgraded suddenly.


    Adrien got up early the following day, sold all the stocks he bought yesterday, and enjoyed a fancy


    breakfast prepared by Jaxton.


    “Mr. Higgins, I just checked with my former boss. Postport Bank allows you to invest no more than 150


    million dors as principal to leverage a fund 50 times your principal, 450 million dors to leverage a


    fund 20 times your principal, and 1.5 billion dors to leverage ten times your principal. The amount of


    funds you will get is rted to the probability of liquidation. The more principal you put in, the lower the


    probability of liquidating will be. ordingly, you will get fewer funds from the bank. Vice versa, the


    less principal you put in, the higher the probability of closing the transaction, and the more money you


    will get from the bank.”


    “Okay. I’ll put in 1.5 billion dors as principal to leverage a fund ten times my principal. Sylvia, tell the


    other guys about our trip and make sure they have their passports prepared. We will fly to Postport on


    April 20 and get back on the night of April 22. We’ll do the transaction on April 22”


    “Okay. Mr. Higgins.” Sylvia already prepared everything. After learning about Sylvia’s new boss‘ n of


    investing 1.5 billion dors to leverage a fund ten times his principal and short a stock, the heir of the


    Brooks family in Sunrise City was greatly intrigued. He helped Sylvia to get in touch with the securities


    trader, operator, and third party.


    “I have something to share with you.” Adrien summoned all his housekeeping team, eight people in


    total.


    “Mr. Higgins, you can just tell us what you need,” Sylvia said.


    “Well, I’m thinking of moving to Sunrise City next month. Will youe with me?”


    People looked at each other in confusion when they heard what Adrien said.


    “Sure. Mr. Higgins We’ll follow you wherever you go. But, do you have any property over there?”


    “Yes, Sylvia. I have a small mansion. We’ll all live in that manor.”


    “Okay. Mr. Higgins.”


    The next few days were easy for Adrien. He would go out for walks and shopping sometimes, but he


    spent much time in the bookstore. Gradually, Adrien became interested in many subjects, such as


    medicine, astronomy, geography, and even divination! He even got himself some tarot cards to study


    every day.


    Still, no one in the Corestar Group reached out to Adrien. He almost forgot about the loss that the


    company would suffer from the shipwrecks.


    It was April 10, and Adrien was about to leave the house.


    “Mr. Higgins, you need to attend the auction today. Where are you heading now?” Sylvia stopped


    Adrien and asked.


    “Oh, right. I forgot about it. I did promise Caspar and Derek that I woulde.”


    “What will you wear, Mr. Higgins?”


    “I don’t know. I’ve never been to any auction before.”


    “I’ve arranged for people from the garmentpany toe over and pick the right outfit for you at 11


    o’clock, Mr. Higgins.”


    “Huh? Other people will choose the outfit for me?”

    “Yes, Mr. Higgins. About the watch, the dark blue Vacheron Constantin on your wrist will do.”


    “Okay.”


    At 11 o’clock, people from the garmentpany arrived. They brought tons of new clothes. The


    designer held each outfit to Adrien and checked if it fitted him. He gave the ones that fitted Adrien to his


    assistant and tossed aside the ones that didn’t.


    Finally, he chose three top suits and told Adrien. “Mr. Higgins, I think those suits fit you well. You can


    take them all. You will need to get changed for the party after the auction.”


    “What do you mean?” Adrien didn’t know the drill of auction.


    “Mr. Higgins, it’s normal to have a spare outfit for an important asion like an auction. You will need


    one suit for the auction, one for the party, and another as spare.” Sylvia exined.


    “I see. Okay, I’ll take three suits then.


    “Okay. Mr. Higgins. Those suits are all Stefano Ri. It costs 70 thousand dors for the suits. With the


    leather shoes and other essories, you need to pay 110 thousand dors in total.”


    “What?” Adrien was shocked.


    “Mr. Higgins, if it’s too expensive for you, I can…”


    “No, it’s not that. I’ll take everything you just rmended, and don’t forget about these two suits. This


    color looks great. I take this suit as well. By the way, I have eight staff members here. Pick something


    for them to wear. They will attend the auction with me. I won’t have them wear anything bad. I’ll pay


    150 thousand dors for each outfit for them.


    “What?” The designer was confused. He thought he only needed to pick outfits for Mr. Higgins. He


    didn’t expect Mr. Higgins to be extravagant and buy clothes for his driver, bodyguards, chef, doctor, and


    other staff,


    “What? Is there a problem?”


    “No, of course not. I’ll go back and fetch more clothes. Please wait a moment, Mr. Higgins.”


    “No hurries. I’ll give the money to you now. Otherwise, I may forget about it.”


    Adrien transferred 1.5 million dors and showed the transfer note to the designer. Seeing Adrien


    already paid, the designer began to pick clothes immediately.


    “Mr. Higgins, we don’t need to look good. I’m just a driver. I won’t go inside the auction. You don’t have


    to buy me such an expensive suit.”
