Chapter 64
“Why did you call them for a meeting?” Austin asked as he still didn’t understand why Scarlet had done that.
“Aunt is busy, and I will be too. Along the way, some might think that we don’t care about what they do and that we aren’t strict and would start making some mistakes here and there, or even steal things. I had to warn them and keep them prepared. If one made a mistake, they shouldn’t say that they weren’t warned,” Scarlet said as they walked ahead.
“I am going to my room. Is Samantha bored?” she asked when she recalled her friend.
“Naaah, she had been watching movies since morning in the cinema room. I found her there after waking up and took her away. She went back,” Austin said, making Scarlet nod.
“Please make sure she has enough snacks,” she told the butler who was following behind them.
“And what do you are you doing today?” she asked his uncle.
“I want to explore the hill outside the city. If it can be bought and changed into a racing stadium, that would be better,” Austin said, making Scarlet halt.
“I want to earn some money so…take me along in that project after you see whether it fits,” Scarlet said as she trusted the latter’s taste. Also, any of the projects the guys did never failed or even encountered losses.
“I am going back to my room,” she told him, then turned to Mrs Carter.
“Please, ask the chefs to prepare enough dishes for the people in the studio. You can call your daughter and know the exact number of people there. They were given my aunt’s, uncle’s, Angela’s, and Brooke’s favorite. Tell them to cook a little of everything. Our meals should be included, too,” Scarlet said.
“Young miss, are you going to the studio?” Mrs Carter asked.
“Naah, Samantha and I will eat from here. My uncle is leaving,” Scarlet replied.
“Okay, I will do as you instructed,” she said and left hurriedly.
Scarlet smiled at her uncle before walking upstairs.
When she logged in to the dark web, she was stunned when she saw that she had a lot of messages. She ignored them, though she was curious. She hurriedly looked at her rank, and when she saw that she was ninety-nine, she was startled. After calming herself down, she started going through the missions and doing them.
After four hours, she heard someone knocking at her door.
“Miss, it's lunch time. Also, there is a man called Mr Gibson waiting for you downstairs,” Mr Carter said when Scarlet opened the door.
She turned and looked at the clock in her room and saw that it was already one hour past twelve.
“Give me a few minutes, I will be there,” she said before shutting the door.
She went and completed the task she was doing before looking at the money in her account. All the missions she had taken were more than one hundred million. She had earned a billion in four hours. She smiled, feeling proud of herself, and thought that she won’t need to take any more projects soon. However, just when she was about to exit the dark web, she saw a new mission in a striking red. It wasn’t the color that attracted her, but the reward, ten billion.
She felt a sense of excitement when she saw it and started reading the mission. It was a mission to hack into one of the largest companies in Italy. The Orco Group. She knew about it as she had once heard her mother mentioning it.
The brothers Santino and Austin’s father had been working in that company. He had been murdered after being sent on a mission. After the incident, their mother went to ask what had happened to her husband and was beaten to death on the streets. Her mother had investigated the brothers.
Now that she thought of it, she had overheard the conversation, thus it meant that apart from the two, the other three brothers weren’t related at all! She was stunned at this discovery, but she then shook her head, thinking it wasn’t her concern at all.
She accepted the mission, thinking that since its deadline was a week away, she could work on it slowly. Her actions nonetheless caused a stir on the website. The mission had been there for more than ten years, and they found it hard to believe it. No one wanted to mess with either of the two parties. Some had tried it, but when they failed to accomplish it, the person who had posted it would reveal their details.
If they won, who didn't know the Orco wasn't to be messed with? It rivaled those old companies in America. But the only difference was that it wasn't so clean; otherwise, it wouldn't have a lot of enemies to the point one would pay that kind of amount. The mission was like a hot potato to them. They were all eager to watch whether SSS would accomplish it or not. If she didn't and her details were exposed, they would at least know who she is.
Immediately, she accepted the mission, and a phone beeped in an office in America.
“Boss, someone accepted the late madam’s mission,” the secretary said as he eyed his secretary.
“Who is it?” the boss asked as he lifted his head, not denying that the words had intrigued him.
“They call themselves SSS. They haven’t filled anything else, even the country,” the secretary said.
“Keep an eye on it. If she completes it, then pay her the money; if she fails, put a mission to find her immediately,” the man said coldly as he thought that the other party had accepted the mission just for fame.
“Boss, they don’t seem to lack strength and skills. The account was opened twenty hours ago, and he had risen to the top fifty in just that time. Many of the hackers have started betting whether he is showing his full strength or not. By her accepting the mission, people are excited as it would bring their argument and bet to an end,” the secretary explained as he could tell what his boss was thinking.
“Okay. You can do what I told you. Now leave,” the man said coldly, not showing what he was thinking of those words, but inwardly, he was surprised.
“Also, I received the news that the third and fourth young masters are currently in Country A. The fifth young master has also halted the film and is on his way there,” the secretary said, not afraid of the latter’s cold expression.
The man stared at his secretary. “If Santino is also there, that means they are back or found. Go do your work. With them there, I don’t believe that that family would do anything to them,” he said and looked at the latter coldly.
After his secretary left, he looked at the picture on the desk, reached out to it, and caressed it.
After accepting the mission, Scarlet exited the website and went downstairs.
“Did everything go well?” she asked Mr Gibson when she saw him.
“Yes, miss. Here are the propertied deeds. Also, the managers talked to their subordinates, and as I had expected, they are willing to work with us. I now have eight hundred workers; they have all signed the contracts, so I think we will begin working on the apartments tomorrow,” Mr Gibson said, stunning Scarlet as she had not expected him to be so fast.
“I still haven’t told the people I want to help us get the materials from abroad, but I will tonight. Have you gotten the materials that can be bought here and the capital?” she asked.
“Yes, I called some of them and will be meeting with them in three hours and sign the contracts. After that, the materials will start being transported. Miss, I have a question, are the designs on the phases we bought the same as the others?” he asked, and Scarlet stared at him. She had not thought of that as she had been so busy, but now that she was asked that, she had to think of that problem.
“Is there a mini supermarket inside the estate?” she asked the man.
“No. However, miss, what if we build a supermarket at the centre of the estate? After all, there will be enough space after they have all been connected,” Mr Gibson said.
“Okay, then make the rest the same, but as the game rooms, let the estate, very phase have different games, there are a lot of games,” Scarlet said, and the man nodded.
“Okay. I will transfer a hundred million to the company’s account. Wait, has the company been registered?” she asked as she had almost forgotten about it.
“Yes, I will make a few calls, and the Coles helped me. The document is in the envelope on top. Forgive me for forgetting to mention it,” Mr Gibson said, and Scarlet shook her head.
“It’s okay. As I said, I will transfer it to you. Also, during the one-week holiday, the club will be under renovation. I will send the design to you by the end of next week. Have you eaten or will you join me?” she asked him.
