When Adrien clicked the skills last 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 worth 840 million dollars in downtown Sunrise City, Host. Here are 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 840 million dollars!
Adrien wondered how much coverage area such a mansion would have.
He decided to move to Sunrise City for the system after he finished his business in Post port.
It would be a huge waste if Adrien left a mansion lying idle.
Adrien could relax now as he had used all four function keys.
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. Post port Bank allows you to invest no more than 200 million dollars principle to leverage a fund 50 times your principal, 600 million dollars a fund 20 times your principal, and two billion dollars to leverage ten times your principal. The amount of fund you will get is related to probability of liquidation. The more principal you put in, the lower the probability of liquidating will be. Accordingly, you 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 2 billion dollars as principal to leverage a fund ten times my principal. Sylvia, tell the other guys about our trip and make sure they have their passport prepared. We will fly to Post port on April 22. We will do the transaction on April 22."
"Okay, Mr. Higgins." Sylvia already prepared everything. After learning bout Sylvia's new boss plan of investing 2 billion dollars 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 you come 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 in there?"
"Yes, Sylvia, I have small mansion. We'll all live in that Manor."
"Okay, Mr. Higgins."
The next few days were easy for Adrien. He would go for the 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 from 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 would come."
"What will you wear, Mr. Higgins?"
"I don't know. I've never been to any auction before."
"I've arranged the people from the garment company to come 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 Garment Company 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 these 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 occasion like an auction. You will need one suit for the auction, one for the party, and another spare." Sylvia explained.
"I see. Okay, I'll take three suits then."
"Okay, Mr. Higgins, those suits are all Stefano Ricci. It cost 96,000 dollars for the suits. With the leather shoes and other accessories, you need to pay 154,000 dollars in total."
"What?" Adrien was shocked.
"Mr. Higgins, if it's too expansive for you, I can…"
"No, it's not that. I'll take everything you just recommended, and don't forget about these two suits. This color looks great. I'll 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 200,000 dollars for each outfit for them."
"What?" the designer was confused. He thought he needed to pick outfit for Mr. Higgins. He didn't expect Mr. Higgins to be extravagant and buy clothes for his driver, bodyguard, 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 two million dollars and showed the transfer note to the designer. Seeing Adrien already paid, the designer started 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 expansive suit."
