Chapter 481 Borrowing, a Plan to Get a Foothold
"Now that we know that this person has already gone inside the stronghold, I am going back inside to inform the one that gave out the mission." Immediately after saying that, Daniel left the group inside the mansion that was owned by the mercenary group, and headed in the direction of the stronghold.
After arriving at the entrance of the Stronghold, he was not prevented from entering. The people that were there had already gotten used to Daniel. After all, during the past 3 years, he had always been coming to the stronghold.
Although they were not sure about whom he worked for, but still, there was a person whose identity they did not know, who came forward and claimed that they were supposed to allow him to enter.
Daniel did not waste time and headed towards the villa. The Villa itself was located close to the outskirts of the Stronghold. This part of the stronghold was a little distance away from the organizations that were located in this part of the stronghold.
After arriving there, he entered the villa as usual. His information had already been registered by the security of the Villa, so, the moment that he placed his hand on the security fingerprint scanner, the door opened without much of a trouble.
After entering the inside, he decided to wait. It was a pity that he did not have a method of contacting the person that had given him the mission. It was just that, every time, he was always called over, and he had never been given the chance of calling them.
So, currently, all that he could do was to hope that while he was inside here, the person that gave him the mission was going to come over. Additionally, while coming over, he did not come over sneakily, rather, he walked in the open.
…
On the other side, Jack and his group decided to spend the day resting for a while. They did not go anywhere else inside the stronghold, but instead, they remained inside the building that they had just purchased.
Jack was having a plan. He was going to make sure that he got resources that he was going to utilize to complete his end of the deal with the shadow organization, and more than that, he was expecting to utilize the system to improve the income.
Currently, the only method that he could utilize to get money was to open up a business. Of course, there was it another method, and that was to contribute during a battle. But, there were no battles that were being fought right now.
For that reason, Jack had no choice but to do what he had done when he left Crystal city. At that time, he had left Crystal City intending to start a business, hoping that it would grow in the future, giving him a chance to compete against the Alfonso family.
But, he had never expected that he was going to get the hundred times income multiplier system after his first sale. That was how things changed. And now, since he was in a new domain, without much connections, he had no choice but to start from below.
Currently, although he was a superhuman, his influence inside the stronghold was not known considering that, the people that knew that he was a superhuman were those from the Panthers organization. But of course, only Sylvia knew that he was a superhuman, as for the rest, they knew that Celine was a superhuman.
For the store, Jack decided that he was going to sell the products that could only be found inside the stronghold. It was just that, he did not have what was required to start it, star coins.
To be able to acquire star coins, one needed to depend on the organizations that were present inside the stronghold, or, perhaps sell what they had. But so far, Jack did not have much that he could sell.
Still, although he did not have the star coins, that did not mean that others did not have. So, since Samantha possessed star coins, he was going to borrow from her. Although she was currently his subordinate through the contract, that did not imply that she had to give him everything that she possessed.
Star coins, this is the currency that was utilized here inside the stronghold. But, it was like a virtual currency, rather than physical like the dollars that were used outside. So, during the time that Samantha was purchasing the building that they were in, she had transferred the star coins using the communication device that she possessed.
"Samantha, how many star coins do you have currently?" Jack asked as he looked at Samantha. They were currently on the top floor's living room.
"I have a total of 269,567 star coins." Samantha replied. She could immediately guess the reason why Jack had asked that question.
Although she did not understand the reason why Jack did not possess the currency that was utilized inside the stronghold domain, she was not unwilling to give him whatever she possessed.
At the end of the day, since she had already left the Butterfly organization, that implied that she would have to depend on Jack for her future development. Right now, paying with the star coins that she possessed was not a problem at all. This could be considered as investment that she was making right now.
Jack nodded. Although he was not sure about the value of the items that he wanted to sell, and whether the money that Samantha possessed was enough, but still, they would have to try.
"With that amount of money, is it possible for us to start a small store? We will be selling several items, but, we will be selling them at a lower price." Jack asked calmly.
He had already thought of this before he even came to the stronghold domain. Initially, he had been planning to use the Panthers organization in order to gain a foothold inside the stronghold domain. But, it turned out that there was just a misunderstanding between the two sides.
Sylvia was the leader of the Panthers organization, and although she was looking for his mother, she did not intend to utilize the means that Anthony utilized. So, there was no need for him to go ahead and trouble her considering that currently, she could be said to be the one that was expecting his mother to pay up.
Since that was the case, he had no choice but to start everything from scratch. Although in the normal world he was currently a behemoth, but inside here, although he had the strength, his influence was not as much as the strength that he possessed.
"It should be possible. It is just that, we can buy a very small store. Although I'm talking about buying, it is simply purchasing the items that are inside the store, and renting the store Itself, rather than purchasing it." Samantha acknowledged before explaining further.
Jack immediately understood what she was implying. For them to be able to get this building, it was a little difficult. Inside the stronghold, the land was limited, so, to get a building to live in was kind of a little problematic.
"That's okay with me. We can start with that. I think by next week, as long as the business works out, we should be able to upgrade a little." Jack nodded. That was all that he needed.
With the system, his income was going to be multiplied by 100 times. So, even if the income from a small store was small, it did not matter to him.
"Can you help me in making those arrangements? After you get it, inform me about it." Jack stated.
"Okay." Samantha nodded. Then, she got to her feet, prepared to go out. Denali also got to her feet and decided to follow Samantha.
Recently, after they had entered the stronghold, she felt a little useless. She was supposed to be Jack's personal assistant. But surprisingly, this time, there was nothing that she could do at all.
She did not know how things worked out inside the stronghold domain. So, she still had to learn a little more, before being capable of going back to doing things like how she used to do before.
Samantha had no qualms with going out with Denali. She knew that the role that Denali played was kind of bigger than hers. Moreover, currently, Denali was stronger than her. If the two of them went out together, then, their safety might be as much as guaranteed.
Inside the stronghold, the use of the laser weapons was prohibited, unless there was an enemy that had the intention to kill others. So, when it came to physical capabilities, did not really was way above Samantha.
As the two ladies left, Celine looked at Jack and asked, "What are you going to do now? Don't tell me that you are planning to become a small store manager inside the stronghold domain?"
"That is exactly my plan. I am intending to start a small store, before improving it. Little by little, I want to be able to easily influence the entire stronghold from the shadows, rather than using the strength that I possess." Jack responded positively.
Currently, inside the stronghold domain, he did not know many things. But he knew one thing, there were a lot of people that were stronger than he was. So, unless necessary, he was unwilling to cause or look for trouble.
He wanted to utilize this business to be able to acquire the resources that he wanted, the ones that he was going to distribute to the shadow organization. And other than that, he was also intending to try and study as many things as possible, while at the same time, strengthening themselves.
"Huh? Are you serious?" Celine's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Jack. She was wondering if this guy was messing around with her.
