Chereads / The Magitek System / Chapter 33 - A Horrible Display

Chapter 33 - A Horrible Display

Today is the start of Japan's General Elections. And a new set of the House of Representatives will be elected and re-elected.

Akira's legend as the Overlord himself, a brave bootstrapped lawyer, fighting tooth and nail for the ordinary people of Japan, taking down criminal organizations like Casanova Corporation and the Yakuza, and theories say that he is the powerful demon that is the head of the Mazoku.

Akira's rise to popularity and victory in the General Elections was nothing short of inevitable. And the recent assassination attempt on his life only solidified the people's belief that he is on the good side.

"Congratulations! Uncle Akira! You are now part of the National Diet! How many carbs do you plan to lose?"

"Ha…ha…" Akira sarcastically replied. "This was also possible due to Princess Yuna's help. So how did last night's meeting with her go, son?"

Yuri blushed remembering the sacred and glorious events last night, "Well… let's just say, we both had a good time."

"Good. Let's talk about it, tomorrow. The security detail you assigned to me is very strict… And when I say that… I mean Oda… The guy thinks everyone is an assassin now. Sebastian, my boy. If you're listening, good luck with your new job."

The blonde butler boy heard Akira on speakerphone and said, "Will do, sir."

He hung up.

Sebastian and Yuri were in front of a 50-story Skyscraper.

"Wait?!?" Yuri was shocked. "I own this whole building?"

"Yes, Master. This is the Tech Startup Company that you bought last week to build you the robotic armor, you used against the Mazoku."

"BOTAN!!!! When he said he was going to buy a small company, I didn't know it was a billion-dollar Tech Startup!"

"Market Projections state that this tech startup was going bankrupt and had no investors to continue funding it, Master. Thus I would highly praise Master Botan's decision to purchase the company at the lowest possible price."

"Alright. If you say so."

Yuri walked in with Botan. The valet had just parked their newly purchased Bugatti in the building parking lot. Yuri, ordered one, being an envious idiot, seeing how Botan looked so badass when he was driving one.

Yuri wore casual clothes today since Yuna had ripped most of his suit from yesterday, and he wanted to head straight to the tech startup to delegate it to Sebastian as soon as possible.

He walked into the front door, and the security guards thought he was a new employee that still wasn't issued the proper uniform for the company workplace.

They looked at him with suspicious eyes while Sebastian, the handsome boy walking behind Yuri was receiving smiles and winks, from the women walking past them.

"Sebastian, you little playboy… getting them girls so easily."

"Master, just so you know, as an AI, I have no sexual preference or any desire for it. It is a biological organism's business. I am not in that category."

"Sure-" Yuri now realized that Sebastian's appearance might look masculine, but he is non-binary.

It sent shivers down his spine. "What's wrong, Master?"

"I just realized that calling you, my little brother, might have been too assumptive. That's all. Never mind."

Yuri and Sebastian went outside the elevator and reached the second floor.

"Where the heck is my office? Why is no one approaching me?"

Yuri was confused.

A floor manager had passed by and noticed the two of them.

Seeing an 18-year-old teenager and a young boy in a suit, thinking Sebastian was some sort of valet, shouted at them.

"Hey! You two! What are you doing on this floor? This is no place for low-life scum like the two of you! This is a billion-dollar tech company! With employees graduating from Harvard and MIT!"

Yuri was most surprised by what was happening.

Sebastian started charging his fists with Magitek energy to protect his Master from the loud man and possible assailant.

He noticed this and gestured to Sebastian not to do anything.

"HEY!! IDIOTS!! Are you listening to me? You're not allowed here! Get out or I'll call security."

Yuri had two options now, he could have immediately reprimanded the floor manager and fired him for disrespecting the Sole owner of the company, or he could have had a little fun.

He chose the latter.

"Oh. I'm sorry, sir. I am a new janitor here," Yuri said.

"Please forgive me, I was asking this valet boy for help, but the both of us got lost in the way."

Yuri smiled deviously inside as this was a good opportunity to know the true nature of his employees and how the company worked.

The floor manager was a fat but short man wearing glasses. He had graduated from a very famous university abroad and acted like superior to all the employees below him.

"Well, you scum janitor. Go to the fourth floor and get your uniform. We are understaffed and the company owner is going to visit anytime soon. You, idiots, aren't the owners, so get to work or you'll get fucking fired!"

"Yes, sir," Yuri humbly nodded with a smile. "Come on, Sebastian."

"Master, what are you planning to do?"

"Time to check this place out," Yuri said.

Yuri went to the fourth floor and changed into the janitor's uniform.

On every floor he went to, half of the staff would treat him poorly.

They would throw food on the floor when he passed by and tell him to pick it up.

And some would look at him with eyes of disgust.

"Sebas, there is something fundamentally wrong about this company. I'm kind of not surprised as to why it's going bankrupt. Can you access the database, and check for any anomalies."

"Yes, master."

Yuri proceeded to try and visit every floor of the Tech Building.

He would hear the employees talk behind their bosses' backs, saying how they hated their jobs and wanted the company to fail.

But Yuri was also surprised but in a good way. Because there were as many good, hard-working, and honest employees in the company. Some employees would treat him well, and others would even talk to him, and ask if he is new.

Yuri's last stop was the floor where the board of directors was working. He wore a mask and entered their meeting room, and started cleaning while they were talking.

"This new owner… Is a giant rich-ass fool!"

One of them said.

"Yeah, he bought this company last week, and still hasn't done any changes in management, no company goals, and any administration whatsoever."

At first, Yuri thought that the board of directors was scamming Yuri, and hated their new owner.

"He buys our struggling tech startup, and orders us to do only one thing… and one thing only… to build him a robotic toy armor."

The man who seemed angry started to tear up.

"This tech company is my life. I've given it my everything, my time, my blood, and my sweat. I got divorced from my wife because I worked too much for this company. And now, this rich fuck is probably going to bring this company to the ground and sell it, after getting bored with it."

The other board members tried to comfort him.

"Isn't that a good thing? He's leaving the company alone and letting it run independently."

The man slammed the shiny wooden meeting room table with his hand.

*Bam

"You don't understand. The company doesn't have capital. We can't do any research. We can't develop any new technology because the owner left us suspended in the air, like a fucking one-night stand. Most of the upper hierarchy in the company isn't receiving any salary this month, because I convinced them, since we needed funds to pay for everything first."

Yuri, still acting like the janitor suddenly joined their conversation, "Not to be rude, sir."

He asked the man, "What was your dream for this tech startup, sir."

The man did not mind, the janitor's interference.

He wiped his tears and said, "I started this company as a web developer. Then we grew and entered web-based games. Once we started to gain exponential growth and had more employees, we ventured into robotics."

"Why robotics?" Yuri asked.

Though he thought the janitor seemed persistent, the man still obliged to answer his question, "It's because I believe robotics is the future. If we build a world where manual labor is obsolete, the production of food, products, energy, and services will skyrocket. I firmly believe there will be a golden age of robotics. It's just sad that we might not be able to take part in that coming wave of the future."

Yuri took off his janitor jumpsuit. And Sebastian had delivered to him the suit he had tailored this morning.

The board of directors was speechless and didn't understand what was happening.

"It's you. You're the new sole owner of this Tech Company," one of them said.

"I am," he started wearing his suit. "And we will make your dream come true, my man."

Yuri had finished wearing his suit. He reached out his right hand to the man that had been crying.

"I am Nobita, sir," he said while smiling and greeting their new boss with a firm handshake.

"That's good. Everyone, I am sorry, that I had neglected my duties as the new owner of this company. But now, I want you to come with me to the future, and bring the golden age of robotics to Japan ourselves."

All of them clapped, and Nobita's hope had regained a new foundation.

"By the way," Yuri said then pointed at Sebastian who had entered and stayed in the corner of the room. "This is my little brother. And he will be the new CEO of the company. And we will call it Domain, in honor of its humble history as a web development company."

They all thought that the CEO position for the young child was just for the privilege and did not mind their new child of a boss.

"Also, I need to make some changes to the staff. And I'm inviting you all right now to a dinner in a new restaurant across the street."

"Yes, sir. Whatever you need."

"There's a list that I made today, please request it from my little brother, Sebastian."

"Yes, sir."

Yuri wearing his new expensive tailored suit walked down the hallway and went downstairs followed by the company's board of directors.

As they passed the staircase on the ground floor, the employees were called by one of the board to greet the new company owner as he and the new CEO as they passed by to leave the building.

Yuri saw all the employees bowing their heads as he passed. The employees who had treated the janitor poorly, could not believe their eyes when they saw that the janitor earlier was the company owner in disguise.

They all regret their actions and were struck with anxiety.

The floor manager was near the door, bowing his head. And not daring to look at the owner because he held such high regard for those above him in the hierarchy.

Yuri paused when he passed by him and approached him.

He adjusted the fat floor manager's bow tie. The floor manager couldn't believe his eye when he looked up to say thank you to his new boss and give him attention.

"Let's fix this bow tie of yours," Yuri smiled deviously at the floor manager. "We wouldn't want the janitors to think you're a bad model of an employee, now do we?" he whispered.

Yuri and the board moved on and headed straight for the restaurant.

The floor manager fainted on the floor. Not one of his employees under him tried to help him up.

MEANWHILE at the Imperial palace.

"Princess Yuna! What are you doing in there in the bathroom?"

Yuna kept puking and looked nauseous.

"I'm okay, Anna. I might have had too much to eat last night. It was the best night of my life."

Anna, being an actual genius, recognized the patterns of her behavior and her symptoms. She grabbed something from the medicine kit on the cabinet and said.

"Yuna. Pee on this."

"What??"

She did it because Anna forced her to.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

They both saw the result of the test.

"YUNA! YOU'RE PREGNANT!"
