The life of a Haughty Prince - Chapter 22
After the agreement was done. Bela took two gold blocks as the clothes were that much expensive. She started teaching him about his role in being a proper assistant. She showed him all the analyzed data of the market. The types of clothes, perfumes, shoes, and much other merchandise.
He absorbed all the data like a sponge and with his system, he could recall everything he had seen. It wasn’t like having a picture-perfect memory cause, he needed to first enter his system and search for the data and if the object is right in front of his eyes, he can just see and read the data from the system using “all seer”.
After the moment he created his own system, life was much easier. It was one of his finest creations. It was not perfect but more upgrades would come sooner, the more data he gave, the smarter and easier it would become. It’s an actual brain made from pure mana which was just one year old. So patience was the key, to have the ultimate system like all the light novels he had read.
As he was reading, analyzing, and asking questions of her without any break. Bela kept answering without any problem. She was quite impressed actually.
‘He is strong and smart if not genius even, learning everything about my company in minutes. Dammit!!!! I should have made the agreement five days a week. I guess I was the naive one. I just wanted him to be close to me and didn’t want him to suffer as I did in the past.
But three days a week is not bad. Hehe….I will work him to his bone. That’s what you get stealing from me.’
“So… that will be enough for tonight. Let’s go eat some dinner and continue tomorrow. Wait!!!….you don’t have a home right?”
“Oh yaa….I just visited the city today, so I don’t get a place to stay. Don’t worry I will stay at the inn nearby for now.”
Bella’s eyes started shining like the star itself.
“Why don’t you stay at my ho….”
“Sorry, I love my privacy. Thanks for the gesture, though.”
Why the hell would he sacrifice his time living with her. She is extremely gorgeous, he knew that… but he didn’t want to waste time as he doesn’t need to sleep and had many upgrades that needed to be done to his countless symbols. His mature body with his System could now handle the high number of Symbol combinations. So privacy was a must for all the experiments to come. He saw her chicks puffing out like she was facing an unfair judgment but didn’t care.
Bela bit her lower lip. She was beautiful and gorgeous to the point of people calling her an actual angel but the man in front of him now just rejected her invite to her home, on this dark and beautiful night. Thinking a little bit more, she started having suspicion.
‘Is he disabled down below?…..hhmmm..wish I could check… no, I just met him today. I can’t go that far. Why am I feeling so hot inside, is this because of him? Damn!!…he is the first one to make me feel like this…..I need to calm down and control myself.
Wait and see, I will have you and slowly tame you to suit my taste. Then, my final course will be ready. Just need more time, that’s all…hahahaha’
While Bela was looking at him with a mischievous smile. Atlas analyzed and understood most parts of the company. It’s products, level of quality, pricing, branding, company branches, patrons, etc.
‘Damn, Elsa said it was only spread out only in this country, but no. It is spread throughout most of the middle-tier kingdoms, some in Upper-tier kingdoms including my own, and what surprised me the most was that it had its hand on a fucking peak tier kingdom as well. That’s fucking bonkers.
But the name is not given in this file, must be only for higher-ups like Bela.
So, Bela is the owner in charge of the clothing brand known as “all time clothing.” Which is only one-third of the total company. There is also “all-time weaponry” focusing on armor, power stones, weapons, etc, and last but not least “all-time potion” which as the name suggests, focuses on alchemy.
So the big three including Bela owns equal shares of this giant mega-company, known as “ATC” ( All Time Company).’
The merchants here had evolved more than he thought. There were companies that were more powerful than kingdoms themselves, that meant levels.
“Last question Bela.”
Bela was at her drawer searching for something and hearing his voice, turned back with a pause.
“Talk”
“Umm…I just wanted to ask, were the three brands different co-operations before?”
Bela smiled hearing his question. She didn’t say anything and picked the keys she was searching in the drawer and threw it at him.
Atlas caught the keys easily and looked at her with confusion. He wanted to say something, but she beat him to it.
“What do you think?”
Atlas understanding her question was in deep thought for a while.
“i think they were.”
“Right!!”
“Then, why did you all merged?”
“You know the answer, right?”
Atlas thought for a bit.
“Because of nobles and possibly the Royalties… too?”
Bela smiled with surprise and confirmation. She was just testing his intelligence, and he magnificently passed.
“Yes, you are right. The Royals and the nobles couldn’t handle our success anymore as each of our brands and items was getting more popular than theirs, so they attacked us financially, hitting us again and again. They had money, power and can’t forget the Royalties literally owns the damn country. At that rate, we would have lost and would have gone bankrupt.
So we merged giving birth to the “ATC”. We survived because we put aside our pride and combined all the forces we had, otherwise you wouldn’t see me here today, My Naive prince.
The word naive somehow hit him on his nerve.
‘What!!!! I’m not fucking Naive. How do you think am i standing right here beside you after stealing your own shit from your nose, women.’
Atlas snorted a little after she called him naive. Bela smiled like she saw a child being bullied and pinched his soft chicks.
“Oohhh…..don’t be mad, take these keys and go east-south. Elsa will lead the way.”
“Wait, why?…” said Atlas with confusion.
“Stupid….you can’t stay at a shabby inn after being my assistant. Think about my pride, will you? Those keys belong to my old mansion which I don’t use anymore and don’t thank me. I’m gonna make you work to the bone, so be ready.”
Atlas wanted to say “yes Madame”, but controlled the urge. She showed that much alpha energy that demanded respect every time. If he didn’t have his “Don” bloodline. He would have to bend the knee just after seeing her.
Bela wore her long, circular hat and her long coat also taking her purse.
“So, let’s go, I’m actually starving.”
Atlas nodded and put the files down. He was also feeling hungry really. The confrontation really took his energy.
‘Damn….I got a mansion and a new identity as her assistant from the start. Not bad for myself. Well, I did, worked hard turning misfortune into an opportunity. Now, I just need to get stronger, and that would finally start, I mean really start, finally creating symbol combinations focusing on damage and power.
Ohh….. it’s gonna get exciting.’
