Revenge of the Rejected

Chapter 249

When it was evening, he packed up his bags and was ready to leave for his home when James walked in. “You’re about leaving.” He said, noticing that he had packed up. “Yes. By the way, Mr. Van will be the one to go with me to Paris, and I’ll like to leave you to the company to take care of other things.” “Oh, are you sure about this? You know, you might need someone who you’ve really known, to go with you to another country.” James expressed his concern. Charles understood that he’s more vulnerable in a different country, especially with someone he hasn’t worked with, long enough to know if he had good intentions for him or not. “I understand. But I also need someone with experience, someone I can trust, that can stay back and that’s you. You don’t have to worry too much. Just do fine, here.” Charles spoke. “Alright, boss. I understand. So, are you going to set your eyes on the physical idea which the production team will prepare first, before you leave, tomorrow?” James asked, out of curiosity. “Yes, I will. I need to know that what I’m going to persuade Mr. Jayla for, is worth it.” “Yeah, you’re right. Alright then, so until tomorrow. I hope the production team are fast enough to produce something before you leave.” “Please pass that message across again to them, just so they would hurry up with whatever they need to get things done.” He said to James. “Alright, noted. You got me on that one, boss.” James assured him and then they both walked out of the office. When they walked out of the office, James went back to the production team while Charles headed out of the company and got into his car. He didn’t know what to expect when he got to France, but he hoped that things were going to work in his favor. While he was driving back home, he got a notification from the system and he eagerly clicked on the notification as this was what he had ben expecting ever since he got to know that he had to gain more points. SPEND 100 MILLION DOLLARS IN 2 HOURS. “What the hell!” He cursed out loud and swerved to a corner and then stopped the car. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Why the hell did the system have to be so wicked in this current situation. At least, if it were the other system which was upgraded, he wouldn’t be so surprised since that one seemed to be after him not progressing at all. He quickly put a call through to Andrew who answered his calls on the third ring out. “Hey Andrew.” “Hey Charles. What’s up?” “I really don’t understand why the system have to be so wicked at this point in time.” Charles voiced out, with his tone expressing his pain. “What happened? What did the system ask for?” Andrew asked, out of curiosity. “The damn system just asked me to spend a hundred million dollars in 2 hours. How’s that possible!” Charles spoke, almost raising his voice. “Oh, shit! This isn’t how it’s meant to be. You know what, Charles? The only thing you can do right now is to find a way to spend that money. You have no choice. You have less than two hours, so think hard on what you can do.” Andrew advised. “Gosh.” Charles muttered under his breath, then connected the heel of his hand across his face, and sighed. “Alright, I’ll see what I can do about it.” “Good. Remember, if you fail a task, you’ll lose a lot. It’s going to be a setback, so try your very best.” Andrew reminded him out of concern. “Noted.” Charles said, and when they were both done conversing, he hung up the call. Charles tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, thinking about where he could invest the money on. Suddenly, he snapped his fingers like he had just gotten an idea. He immediately put a call through to James. “Hey boss.” “I need you to collate the account details of each and every member of the production team.” He instructed. James who could sense the urgency in his tone didn’t waste any time before he began work on what Charles had asked him to do. In about thirty minutes, he had collated their numbers and then sent them as text to Charles. Charles then sent each and everyone of them a sum of money which one could deem as compensation for working hard, then he sent 50 million dollars to the main account for their project. Right after that, he sent about 20 million dollars to James. James who saw the alert immediately called him to be certain it wasn’t a mistake.“Boss, I just saw an alert of 20 million dollars. I think that’s a mistake.” James said, sounding really stoked and shocked. “It’s not a mistake, James. It’s me rewarding you for the good you’ve done. You deserve more, but you can use the money for now, to do something really nice.” Charles said, with a smile. He felt a bit relieved that he had managed to exhaust about 90 million dollars, so now, all he needed was to spend the remaining 10 million dollars. He paid for V.I.P seats for he and Mr. Van, and then paid for the hotel he and Mr. Van was going to be staying in for days or weeks, depending on when Mr. Van was going to release the vibranium to them, because he was so certain that he wouldn’t leave until he had vibranium in his hands. After all the spending, he was left with about 2 million dollars. “Now, I just have to get this money to either an orphanage home or pay for someone’s medical bills.” He said to himself. He had just fifteen minutes left and he had to pick the one that was faster to process. “I have no choice than to pay a person’s medical bills.” He said, but he was terrified because he didn’t know how long he was going to spend his time on the road.
