88 Making a Decision & Arieh Receiving the News



Inside the simulated universe.

Aron quickly turned to Nova and asked for her opinion on how to handle the dictator's demand, saying, "What do you suggest?"

[I don't see any difference in agreeing to the condition or not doing so,] Nova said nonchalantly as she materialized chairs and a table for them to sit on during the remainder of their conversation.

"What do you mean?" Aron asked curiously as he sat on one of the chairs that Nova had materialized for them.

[How long do you think it will take to buy and combine the companies into a unified operation?] Nova asked, as she conjured a tea pot and cups, poured tea into them, and pushed one towards Aron to drink.

"About three months at the earliest," Aron answered after taking a sip of the delicious tea.

Nova took a sip of the tea before asking, [After the completion of the company acquisitions, how long do you think it will take for the revolution to be complete?]

Aron quickly responded, "The earliest would be six months and the latest would be nine months." As he searched for any connection between Nova's question and her opinion that the dictator's demand didn't matter.

"Ahaaa..." Aron exclaimed, finally realizing where Nova was leading him with her cryptic questioning instead of just answering him.

[You seem to have finally grasped the point I was trying to make,] Nova said to Aron with a content smile on her face, feeling proud of her master.(A weird thing nonetheless)

Aron finished his tea and promptly logged off, only to realize that merely a minute had passed in the physical world.

Leaving behind a blushing Nova, looking at Aron's empty cup.

Aron quickly made a call to Felix to inform him of his decision.

"Hello," Felix answered immediately, indicating that he had been waiting for Aron's call.

"Agree to his condition," Aron said straightforwardly without any beating around the bush.

"Yes?" sked Felix in a surprise

"Yes, but under the condition that the payments are done annually in company time, meaning that the annual payments will start counting from the official start of the company's operations after consolidation is complete." He stooped to take a breath.

Then he continued "If they ask why, tell them it will take that long for the company to finally start making stable profits."

"Okay, I will wait a few days before informing them of your decision," Felix said. He didn't ask any further questions as he was sure that Aron, who had even investigated the dictator's personality, had a plan for this too.

"Sure, see you" Aron said goodbye to Felix and ended the call after receiving his acknowledgement.

Following that he immediately started the car and drove towards the university to collect his brain data.

....

As soon as Felix ended the call with Aron, he turned to his team members and informed them of Aron's decision to agree to the dictator's demand. 

However, there was a condition attached to it: the payments would be made annually, and the counting would start after the company completed consolidation. The reason given was that this would be the optimal time for the company to start generating stable profits.

Upon hearing Aron's decision, they were surprised that he had agreed to such an absurd condition. However, they understood that they had to follow orders.

"Okay, let's dismiss for now and reconvene for a meeting tomorrow," Felix instructed his team members, signaling the end of the discussion. The members left the meeting room and went about their own ways, heading back to their respective hotel facilities to rest.

After everyone had left, Felix finally stood up and retired to his room to rest. He was feeling exhausted and stressed from the meeting, and sleep was the only thing on his mind.

...…..

Tuesday.

Rina woke up early this morning as she had gone to bed earlier than usual the previous night.

After cleaning herself, she went to her workroom to begin the second day of her raising from the ashes.

[Welcome, Rina] greeted Ava as Rina entered her workroom and sat down in front of her computer.

"Thanks, Ava," Rina replied gratefully.

[Will you start right away or will you wait for a bit before you begin] Ava asked, curious about Rina's plans for the day.

"Yes, I will start immediately. We still have around 15 board members left that we need to threaten and gain their allegiance," Rina replied as she picked up the same tablet she had used the day before.

She didn't have to upload anything onto it as Ava handled all the data transfer of important threat materials.

Following which she left her office at once, After seeing Rina leave her office with the same tablet as yesterday, Chloe knew not to wait for any further orders and followed behind her, together with Alex.

"This time, where are we headed?" Chloe asked, making sure that Alex knew the destination so he could drive them there.

"We are going to several places. First, to Yoel's, then to Yoram's, and after that to Uria's. I will let you know the next ones as we go," Rina instructed Alex on where to drive.

After hearing the destinations, Alex didn't hesitate and immediately started driving Rina to the first location, Yoel's.

Today Rina had planned on first receiving the cuckold orgy team's pledges of allegiance before moving to other board members.

She needs to complete the task of receiving all the board members' allegiance by the end of next week if she wants to have enough time to go over her instructions about what to do at the board meeting.

....

While Rina was on her way to receive Yoel's allegiances.

Nestled deep within the sprawling Rothschild compound, there stood a magnificent mansion that caught the attention of anyone who passed by. It was the envy of all who laid eyes on it, a true marvel of architecture and design. 

The mansion was the second largest within the estate, overshadowed only by the infamous family head's personal residence. Its grandeur and opulence were unrivaled, a testament to the wealth and power of the Rothschild family. 

The exterior was adorned with intricate carvings and decorative accents, while the interior boasted luxurious furnishings, priceless artwork, and state-of-the-art amenities. The mansion's lush gardens and expansive grounds added to its allure, providing a tranquil oasis within the bustling compound. It was Arieh's mansion, the next family heads mansion

Inside Arieh Rothchild's (Rina's brother) mansion.

"Sir, it seems that your sister is trying to make a comeback to power," Charlotte, Arieh's secretary, reported to him.

"What is she doing now?" Arieh asked Charlotte, wanting more details about Rina's actions.

"Yesterday she went to Hebel and seemed to have begged him for his support," Charlotte gave Arieh more details.

"Did he agree to support her?" Arieh asked, intrigued by the outcome of his sister's begging.

"Unfortunately, the bug we planted had run out of battery during the conversation as he was berating her, but according to our spy's report, he had denied her request shortly after the berating. She seemed to be trying to conceal her emotions as she left his mansion,"

"Okay, that's good. But why am I hearing about this just now, when it happened yesterday?" Hebel asked, curious about the delay in receiving news about his sister's actions.

"As I had informed you last week, Rina fired nearly half of the workers in her house in a fit of anger after being choked by Terry. Among the fired people were our spies too, resulting in us receiving this news only from the side of spies in the house of Hebel," explained Charlotte about what caused the delay.

"So what has my sister done?" Arieh asked Charlotte for further information on Rina's actions after being denied support by Hebel.

"After the meeting, she simply returned home and did not visit any of the other board members' residences,"

"keep me updated on her. It's quite satisfying to see her struggle, even after being defeated multiple times," Arieh said to Charlotte.

"Yes, sir," Charlotte acknowledged the order and left Arieh alone to continue his work.

After Charlotte left him alone in his office, Arieh rubbed his chin, contemplating what his sister could possibly be planning by begging the board members for help, even though she knew they were loyal to him.

Although he had suspected that maybe she had a plan when she fired the workers and was just hiding her act of cleaning the spies, but when he heard that she had gone and begged someone that she knew was extremely loyal to him. 

It seems that he had overestimated her, which was nothing but good news to him. Arieh knew that the family head was watching everything unfolding despite his inaction throughout the ordeal of sibling wars for power.

"Just when I thought you couldn't go any lower, you seem to have a knack for exceeding my expectations, dear sister," Arieh muttered to himself before bursting into laughter.
