Chapter 53: International Businessman."I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. Even our president’s private clients were asked to wait... Young Miss Song from China was here to arrange financing for her family’s new venture, and our regional head for New Jersey is personally handling the deal."
"It’s okay... I understand."
Seated across from Daniel, Liam gave a small, dismissive wave of his hand to show he didn’t mind. He leaned back in his chair with an easy smile, letting Daniel know there was no need to keep apologizing.
"So, I’m here today because of her. This is Clara. I’d like you to help her open an account in her name, then transfer twenty million dollars from my account into hers. Also, help her apply for a credit card with a high limit."
"Twe... twenty million? Liam, are you crazy?! Where did you even get this much money?"
Clara had been sitting beside Liam as if the whole conversation had nothing to do with her. She hadn’t even known he had brought her here to transfer money into her account.
Hearing twenty million dollars gave her the shock of her life. She straightened in her chair and grabbed his arm, her eyes wide as she searched his face, waiting for him to laugh and tell her he was joking.
"Ma’am, Mr. Carter is an international businessman. He supplies televisions to buyers across three continents. Here, you can see for yourself."
Daniel, the vice president, opened the folder on his desk and pulled out several documents he had been reviewing while preparing Liam’s tax paperwork.
There were commercial invoices, export declarations, and records of payments received from overseas buyers, all neatly arranged under Liam’s business name. Daniel placed a sales summary in front of Clara, then turned over another page and pointed to the figures printed beside each transaction.
"These are the sales records, and these are the corresponding payments into his account."
Even Liam stood up to get a better look at what Daniel was talking about. He leaned slightly over the desk, his eyes moving from the company names to the amounts listed beneath them, looking almost as interested in the explanation as Clara.
"The last payment we received was nearly a hundred and fifty million dollars. After taxes, Mr. Carter was left with exactly ninety-nine million dollars, so..."
Daniel trailed off and glanced awkwardly at Liam, realizing he had once again discussed confidential financial details in front of someone else. His fingers paused on the edge of the paperwork, and he waited for Liam’s reaction. But Liam didn’t seem to mind at all, so Daniel gave an awkward smile and straightened the documents in front of him.
"You make this much money?! Wow."
Clara pulled back in shock, her eyes widening as she looked from the documents to Liam. Meanwhile, Liam was also finding out where his money came from.
Apparently, it was a business based somewhere near Korea that bought televisions from Samsung and sold them across Asia, Europe, and Africa. He glanced over the paperwork again, keeping his expression calm while Clara stared at him as if she had just discovered another ridiculous secret.
....
"So... where are we headed now?"
Clara asked as she settled into the car, pulling the door shut beside her. Liam had officially signed two checks today: one for the ten million dollars he had given Alexandra, and another for Clara’s twenty million.
Clara’s money had already been transferred into her account, but her card wouldn’t be ready until tomorrow. She glanced at Liam again, still trying to get used to the idea that she now had that much money.
"Campus. I’m moving into the dorm today... remember?"
"Oh! Yes... I forgot. Megan texted me while we were inside the office."
Clara pulled out her new iPhone and texted Megan back, a smile lingering on her face as Liam drove the car out of the parking lot. Her fingers moved quickly across the screen, and she seemed too occupied with the conversation to notice his phone lighting up beside him.
*DING*
Liam’s phone received a message as well. It was from Daniel, his private banker. Liam had asked him to find out a person’s name and a few background details, including his age, university, and family connections. The information wasn’t something Daniel would normally share, but he had managed to get it for Liam anyway.
[Frank Miller, 22, Senior at Rider University, Only Son of Jeff Miller.]
Jeff Miller. Liam knew that name from one of those secret meetings from his past life. His fingers tightened slightly around the steering wheel as he remembered those meetings.
The Miller family controlled the entire American fertilizer industry and was worth hundreds of billions, yet their name never appeared on the Forbes list. As far as Liam was concerned, the truly rich rarely showed up there anyway.
Frank... Let’s destroy the Miller family first. Rider? That’s a really nice coincidence. Because of Clara, I have to go there as well.
The Miller family, just like the Silverschild family, was based in New Jersey and always wagged their tails like dogs for the Silverschilds. Liam glanced at the name on his phone once more before returning his attention to the road, a faint smile forming on his face.
Liam was planning to take on both the Millers and Erto for the time being. This wouldn’t cause any major turmoil within the Silverschild family; their wealth was as vast as the ocean, and the Millers were just a placeholder.
As long as the money kept flowing and they had control over the fertilizer industry, it wouldn’t matter much to them if the name Miller was replaced with Carter. He tapped a finger against the steering wheel, thinking about who he could put in charge once that happened.
Dad can sit on that throne... Didn’t want to involve him, but he’s the person I can trust the most right now.
Liam thought of Michael, his dad, for this job. A man who was still so healthy, yet would commit suicide once Liam was chosen by the Silverschild family to become their son-in-law. Remembering his father’s face made the smile slowly disappear from Liam’s lips, and he adjusted his grip on the steering wheel.
But this time, they won’t choose me, right? I’m worth what? A hundred and fifty million?
The Silverschild family had wanted an American boy with a clean background, someone a little gifted academically, to become their son-in-law. In his last life, although Liam hadn’t made a fortune, he had earned enough money on his own and had even been considering divorce when everything was pulled out from under him. He took a slow breath, keeping his eyes on the road as those memories returned one after another.
My parents died, my little sister became addicted to drugs, and my elder sister was busy taking care of her... I was left alone in this world. To think I died because I hadn’t been fed for over a month.
[Side Mission Complete: Make Your Girlfriend a Multimillionaire.]
[Reward: $18,999]
[Explanation: Don’t Forget to Complete the Great One’s First Mission for You.]
Seeing the explanation, Liam smiled. This really was the first mission his red system had given him: swallow another system. He wasn’t going to ignore it; he just needed to prepare very carefully.
