Chapter 50 - Episode 50: Last Day in Station Ail and Wail.

 

Setting up company online has never been so easy, when you have a super intelligent AI/System on your side. Alfred set everything up in an instant, naturally our company is registered in a tax haven country in the Caribbean, but our Company warehouse/branches existed on all of major nation, we got one in the America, China, UK, Singapore and even Manila. Why we do it like that, well, it was rather simple, it was there just so that we can get deliveries much faster. Alfred just rented a small warehouse, and that is it.

 

"[What name should we use for your company on Earth, Sir?]". (Alfred)

 

"We can just my existing company name, Azra Family Company…simple and direct… it's not like they would be able to find me back on Earth… I've already died there…".

 

"[The Company name has been registered… Now, Azra Family Company, is an established wholesale business… we dabble on all sector, from oil, foods all the way to vehicles and firearms… and we are legally accredited and have licensed to do everything legally…]". (Alfred)

 

"Great… by the way, that is a multitude range of specialty that our company have… did you hack a lot of agencies?".

 

"[Yes… and not a single person or computer would be able to know about it… not even if the entire earth technology advanced for hundreds of years…]". (Alfred)

 

I figured as much, Alfred dealt with the process in an instant, surely, he had hacked every single government agency to do that. And while we in the topic of hacking, I realized that I got a million-dollar question to ask him.

 

"Well, if you say so… oh by the way, why can't you just hack some bank and add the money to our funding?".

 

"[Apparently, I can't do that… I cannot steal money from earth at all… I tried to do it multiple times…Hacking into some corrupt politician bank accounts…]". (Alfred)

 

"Okay…and then?".

 

"[I simply unable to take that dirty politician money at all…I can access his account, but as I were about to transferred the funds out…. I was unable to do so.. I have tried a lot of things…I simply cannot do it…it is my limitation…]". (Alfred)

 

Alfred explained to me in detailed that, he simply cannot complete the last step to take the money away, if he tried to, the money would not move at all, and all that happened is that he would simply be kicked out of the banking system, restarting the hacking process again and then reaching the final step, everything just reset back to the start. Alfred can manipulate the money that belonged to me, but he cannot add anymore money that is not from the result of our honest transaction coming from this world.

 

"What a weird limitation…Then again, I guess it makes sense…".

 

"[Yes, a reject…]". (Alfred)

 

That ROB who labeled me and Alfred rejects surely put some weird limitations in a weird place. I got near unlimited Inventory systems, and a super AI, did he really think that I would use my AI/System to hack somebody else money, with Alfred, I can do everything on internet to make money. I supposed, at the end of the day, that guy just don't care. Which is to me I supposed, not really a big issue, even with Alfred current ability we can already do a lot of things.

 

Today, after a day of break, we will resume our stall business again, this time we decided to just sell 50 sets of burgers, and the rest of our merchandise will be sold at the regular amount. I only wanted to make it look like I am affected by the whole thing, that's it. But at the same time, I also wanted to milk this opportunity to rake a lot of coins, by now, I am sure that everyone already decided to predict that my stall will be leaving the town soon, with that sort of self-predictions spreading around, I am sure that everyone would be in rush to stock up on my bread and water.

 

"It is called a last day promotion…or something like that".

 

"Really? …I guess, there will be a lot of people going to be upsets from tomorrow onwards…". (Natasha)

 

"It cannot be helped, Nat… Those chambers of Commerce in Station Ail and Wail, got more power than us… this even showed when the town Councils and the people themselves don't want to come and protect our business… which already said a lot on who they rather gone or not… For me, I would never do more for a place that treated me that way… being an easily discarded piece, only have the downside…".

 

Natasha was bitter about the whole thing, and so do I. the masses the entire got nothing but praise for us when we started our business here, all of them were coming with a smile every day. But at the face of the first trouble, all of them immediately backed away from us and acted like we were a stranger. To be really honest, being treated this way, is quite upsetting, but at the end of the day, when survival comes into the factor, stuff like this will always happened. It is shitty, but it is what it is, this why, if things are going to continue to be like this whenever we open our business on other towns, villages and cities, it is better to be the one that choose where and when to cut the ties.

 

It was fairly easy to predict that in the future this sort of reactions from the town business will always treat our business as a threat to their business, should we open a store in their town. So rather than waiting to be threaten or even repeat the yesterday incidents, we should limit our business stays at each settlement that we would be visiting. Right now, I have decided that we would only open our business in each settlement for just a single week, and then we packed up and leave, but of course in those one-week time, we would take as many profits as we can. Flood the entire town market without best quality product in a single week, making everyone addicted to our stuff and then leave.

 

I am very sure that by the end of the week, when we left, the people would crave our product and our price like crazy. At that point, it was easy to say that I have already enamored them, those potential clients who knew our quality product and the appropriate prices, will dare to venture us of their towns, village and cities to chase us wherever we go, and when it reached to that point, I would already achieved the kind of fame and reputation that I wanted. At this point even when I decided to open a shop in the middle of nowhere, people will come to where I am, in order to eat and drink what I have to offer.

 

"Oi Azra! …you looked just fine… the show before is quite entertaining… I never know that you could fight like that…". (Bear)

 

"Well…if I had to, I would defend myself and my family… anyway. We will only be selling 50 Sets of burgers for today… so, I suggest you buy one as fast as you can…".

 

Bear comes as always with his positive outlooks on everything in life, we have already arrived at our usual stall spot and already started our business hour, the Barter Trade counter is already congested and full with customer's.

 

"What? …Just 50 sets?! …well, give me 2... NO, give me 5 sets…". (Bear)

 

"Okay, 5 it is then…".

 

Most of my customers would always be like this, knowing the limited burgers being sold, all of them would decided to just buy in bulk, at this point, I am sure that everyone knows that I am about to close m business here in this town, but, not a single one of them wanted to ask the question directly, it was as if all of them were afraid to face the truth, funny, but to me this thing is already guaranteed to happened no matte what they would do to stop it.

 

"Hey, Azra… I'me here to bring you to the meeting…". (Town Guard Leader Robert)

 

"Sure, Let's go…".
