Sofia already knew what was inside the briefcase so she didn't reveal much of an emotion on her face. However, she still felt shocked in her heart when she saw the thick stacks of cash inside. It was 5 million pesos! That kind of money was something her family had never seen before!
"This is too much... Our family can't pay this off..." Maria muttered hesitantly. The money they were using to pay for her husband's treatment was from a drug lord and she always felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. They didn't know when Leandro's lackeys would come to demand something outrageous to pay off their debts. The money inside the briefcase was enough to pay for everything and there was even a surplus of one million which could be used for her husband's medication. The only issue was that she didn't know how they would repay Arlan.
Loyd furrowed his eyebrows as he blurted out anxiously. "Mom, what are you hesitating for? We need this money!"
Arlan glanced at Loyd in dissatisfaction. This guy was too much of an eyesore. If he wasn't Sofia's brother, he would have already beaten him up. While hiding the dissatisfaction in his heart, Arlan muttered. "You guys don't have to feel pressured into repaying me. I'm not in a hurry anyway. Besides, this money is nothing to me." He could only say it like this to make them feel less burdened.
Maria could still not make up her mind after hearing his words.
Toot! Toot! Toot!
Suddenly, the sound of the doorbell interrupted their discussion.
"Oh, it must be someone from the territory's management. Excuse me." Arlan stood up and walked to the entrance of the mansion.
When he walked away, Loyd could no longer hold his composure. "Mom, that guy is rich. This little bit of money is just a spare change for him! If I'm not wrong, this mansion alone is worth a hundred million dollars! He is not short of money. Let's just take it so that we can settle everything at once!"
"Loyd shut up! Don't forget what you've done to our family!" Sofia stood up and reprimanded her brother.
Loyd's face turned dark when he heard this. "I'm just trying to help..." He muttered through gritted teeth.
Pa!
A crisp slapping sound echoed, making the atmosphere turn silent.
Sofia glanced coldly at her brother as she said. "Enough!"
When Loyd saw the scary look on his sister's face, he could only grab his aching cheeks as he lowered his head. "Stupid..." He mumbled.
"Stop it you two! We are in someone else's house so don't make a scene here!" Maria said as she pulled Sofia next to her. She then patted her daughter's back to calm her down. She was also disappointed by his son, but there was nothing she could do. Things already happened and they could no longer turn back time.
Meanwhile, Arlan opened the huge door of his mansion. There was a bespectacled middle-aged man wearing an expensive suit outside his door. He was holding a black suitcase in his left hand.
"Good evening, Mr. Roa. I'm Fredrinn Vance, the property manager of Royal Territory." The middle-aged man said with a smile as he extended his free hand to Arlan.
"Oh? So it's Mr. Vance! Let's talk inside." Arlan shook hands with Fredrinn before bringing him inside the mansion.
Fredrinn was stunned when he saw how young Arlan was. Although he had already seen his information in their system, he was still surprised upon meeting him in person.
The Lake View Villa was the most expensive mansion in the Royal Territory with a whopping price of 800 million dollars!
The richest family in the country was the De Guzman Family. They have a net worth of 136 billion dollars and they were also the owner of the Royal Territory. Initially, the De Guzman Family was planning to sell the villa to a rich businessman overseas, but before they could do this, the villa had already been purchased by someone.
Fredrinn wondered who Arlan was and how he was able to buy such an expensive mansion at a young age. He nervously walked behind Arlan while carefully treading the marbled floor. He could still remember his boss' words before he came here.
"Don't offend, Arlan! He is someone that our De Guzman Family wishes to befriend!"
Soon, he noticed that they had already arrived in the living room. There were three people who were looking curiously at him.
"Mr. Vance, they are my guests." Arlan introduced Sofia's family to Fredrinn and when they learned that he was the property manager of the territory, they became more respectful to him.
"Just relax, everyone. I'm only here to input your details into our system. That way, you won't be stopped at the entrance once you visit Mr. Roa." Fredrinn muttered with a smile as he adjusted the rim of his glasses. He noticed the clear handprint on Loyd's face, but he was tactful enough not to ask about this matter.
While they were busy, Arlan grabbed his phone. He didn't have the time to check the notifications because of the events that happened earlier.
[You managed to subdue a group of thugs! You can now claim your reward!]
[Do you want to claim your reward?]
[Yes]
Arlan clicked the Yes button.
[Congratulations! You claimed 36% shares of Mazda Motor!]
Mazda Motor is a Japanese car brand with a market cap of 11 billion dollars. Now, Arlan was the largest shareholder of the company, making him the new owner of Mazda Motor!
Looking at the words on his screen, Arlan almost dropped his phone from shock. He had actually become the largest shareholder of a billion-dollar company after simply beating a group of thugs!
Arlan's eyes flashed with excitement as he kept his phone inside his pocket. At this moment, he was no longer a struggling contractual worker. He had already taken a step into the world of the rich!
