CHAPTER 860: MONEY MONEY MONEY

Clovis let out a long sigh. "Well, I thought you were going for power armor or something. Like... that one guy in the movie wearing a robotic suit."

"Oh, come on." Hana rolled her eyes. "While the robotic machine might be stronger, it lacks the speed and flexibility against high-level beasts. You know perfectly how fast they are. That kind of armor won’t be able to do it, so it’s better to prepare something that can directly boost a person’s power."

Clovis shrugged. "Just trying to ask."

Hana turned to Kanaria. "You’re going to wear it, right?"

"Yeah. What I need the most is a power booster that can offset the recoil of the Soul Weapon. I don’t really move, but having flexibility might be good since the machine might hinder my own senses." Kanaria nodded.

"If it works perfectly, let me know. This one has been custom made for you to suit your butterfly wings. And if that happens, I might work on the armor for other people."

"Got it."

"In that case, if you don’t mind, I am going to borrow this stingy guy for a bit." Hana grabbed Clovis’ arm and dragged him elsewhere.

Clovis only waved his hand as if telling them to handle the rest.

Once they had gone to Clovis’ room, Clovis took out the ticket. "Ready?"

"Yep." Hana nodded. "The money should be in by now, you should check it."

Clovis glanced at the notification and confirmed it by continuing, "Enter!"

Both of them were transferred to Another World Mall.

[Master.]

"Oh, blue." Hana smiled.

Blue politely bowed to Hana.

[Welcome, Mistress Hana.]

"We are here to upgrade the mall again, Blue." Clovis smiled. "The progress has been halted for too long."

"Why? I thought you got plenty of money." Hana frowned. "I believed I had given you the money, no?"

"Well, I borrowed your money, right? I used the first several months to take care of it. And it’s not like it’s that easy to get money during the training.

"I went to a lot of places and killed a lot of beasts, but I never picked up the essence because Mara never cared about them.

"So, I don’t have a lot of money. Even with the money transferred by Jay, I could only upgrade one level." Clovis let out a long sigh. "Can you open the status, Blue?"

[Name: Clovis Hacfield]

[Membership: Level 32 (VVIP - 1)]

[Money: 21,486,500,328 Otherworld Coins.]

[Item Limit: 38/Visit]

[Visit: 5 (6)/Day]

"See? What’s the upgrade requirement?"

[It is 15,000,000,000 Otherworld Coins, Master.]

Clovis just smiled, showing that he really didn’t have the money to do it. The amount of money required to upgrade the mall just once was enormous.

So, Clovis couldn’t really upgrade it randomly after becoming a VVIP.

"You are in luck." Hana crossed her arms. "Once the new headquarters is established in the east, we will get even more money. I expect the revenue will be at least about 40 to 50 billion per month.

"With your royalty, it should be worth a lot.

"And now, the sales of the Soul Weapon are going to start. It seems to be a good time for Jay and the others to use my Soul Weapon since the performance has been proven by Kanaria.

"It might not be the same compared to your Tier 9 sword or Christina’s Tier 9 shields, but it should have the same performance as a Tier 8 weapon.

"Once the Soul Weapon becomes accepted, it could bring additional revenue. Of course, the power suit will be the same, but the introduction of the power suit will happen in 2 months, so it will require 3 to 4 months to see any money from that."

"But I have nothing to do with the Soul Weapon and the Power Suit, no?" Clovis shook his head helplessly.

"That might be true. In fact, it will be quite troublesome to move that amount of money just to be returned." She looked down, contemplating. "Let’s see... I wonder if there’s anything else I can do..."

"Now that I think about it, the president has asked me to reconstruct other cities..." Clovis raised his eyebrows. "In exchange, I will receive the tax exemption."

"What did you say? Explain everything to me right now? Are you saying I can get money for free?"

"Not you, me." Clovis got overwhelmed by her enthusiasm and explained everything about the agreement.

Hana instantly saw what had happened and explained, "In that case, why don’t we just establish a new company? OpenConstruction. This company will be responsible for doing the reconstruction. I will take over the construction company, the material company, and other things to establish this one company.

"I will put the money into this company and let this company reconstruct the city and sell the buildings in your name and receive even more money, but tax-free."

Clovis was speechless. "You..."

"What? I’m growing our empire." Hana shrugged. "With OpenConstruction, I get more money. I can also guarantee the quality of the construction for the government, which is also a win for them. And you will also be able to get more money for Another World Mall. See? Everyone is winning.

"Besides, the OpenSky Company is now valued at 3.5 trillion union dollars. With the Power Suit and the Soul Weapon, it will probably get to around 8 trillion union dollars or something. Oh, Luci also helps me, so it should be around 10 trillion.

"If we can somehow get a stable supply of your artifact, we will be able to increase it even further.

"But it’s nowhere near 27.1 trillion dollars... I really want to smack those guys. Well, I can combine it with my grandfather’s company once I inherit it, but I just want to use my own.

"With OpenConstruction getting the project all around the country, it will be valued at a few trillion minimum.

"If I combine all those, I can be valued above 20 trillion maybe, with global expansion, it should be enough to beat those people."

Clovis facepalmed. "Money is everything, eh?"

"What? I will just make enough capital so that the Hacfield family won’t have to go through that decline again." Hana harrumphed. "Instead of judging me, shouldn’t we just see the result of our money, my dear Clovis?"

Clovis chuckled helplessly before saying, "Blue. Upgrade it."

[Processing.]
