Chapter 55: Protect ‘Pearl Warmer’
The Holtons did not have to wait too long before David came out to fetch them.
David did not expect them to be held off outside either since he had not been held back the many times he went in and came out.
After fetching the Holtons and reuniting with Diana and the others, David brought them all to the third floor.
Jenny was already waiting on the third floor with the keys in hand as David had informed her beforehand.
“This way please, Mr. Lidell!” Jenny said courteously.
David was her favorite client. She had earned six million from the three houses she had sold him.
The group of people followed Jenny to the one-hundred-million-dollar one-story unit that David had already paid the deposit for.
Both Diana’s and Jude’s families were stunned when they entered the house.
It made sense that such a luxury house would cost at least fifty million.
The interior design, furniture, and view were exquisite.
These people might not know much about decorations, but they knew how to appreciate beauty.
Diana refused to accept this house when she heard that it cost a hundred million, but David said that he had already paid the deposit and the amount could not be refunded.
Diana still did not believe him when David told her he also had a house on the first floor.
She only agreed to take the house after David showed her his on the first floor and persuaded her some more.
Then, David and the others followed Jenny to the sales department to pay for the rest of the house and proceed with the transferral of house ownership using Diana’s identity card. From now onwards, this house belonged to Diana’s family.
After this, David brought them back to Golden Leaf Hotel. He arranged a few idle jobs for Jude and Diana’s family within the hotel so that they could earn income without needing to do much work.
The two families were already numb to it when they found out that South River Province’s only eight-star hotel belonged to David.
The man had given them too many surprises over the past two days.
From the million-dollar luxury car to the hundred-million-dollar house, and this ten-billion-dollar eight-star hotel.
David had raised their standards time and time again.
David internally let out a sigh of relief after settling Aunt Diana’s family.
Once Aunt Sally’s family returned and were arranged jobs, they would all have a place to belong in River City and he would have one less problem to worry about.
Next, he was going to have to start building his own powers. He might have endless amounts of money, but that did not mean he could expand his influence blindly. He needed an actual plan.
Before he had built his powers, he would have to keep a low profile.
David still wanted to follow the ideals of the older generations and keep his wealth a secret.
In the afternoon, David made way to River City Hospital.
Paul should be discharged soon, and David wanted to ask how preparations for the security department were going. He also wanted to know how many people had been recruited.
...
Paul’s hospital room, River City Hospital.
Gordon and Wayne were in the room with Paul when David arrived. The three of them seemed to be investigating something probably related to David’s newly established security department.
“You’re here, Mr. Lidell!”
Paul looked up and saw David enter the room.
Gordon and Wayne turned to look at David as well.
“Mr. Lidell!”
“Mr. Lidell!”
The two greeted each other at the same time.
“Paul! How’s your injury? When will you be discharged?” David walked up and asked.
“The doctor says I can leave in a couple of days. What do you need me to do, Mr. Lidell? I’m fit to leave the hospital now, actually, I’m already fully recovered!” Paul replied.
“No need. Listen to the doctor, a couple of days isn’t going to make much difference anyway. How’s the security department you’re building going? How many people can you recruit?”
“We’ve already got around a dozen people confirmed, but there are a few that’s still considering the offer! It’s probably because the benefits feel too good to be true. If we can have the current employees tell them the situation, I’m sure more people will join us.”
“Alright. Then call over those that have been confirmed. Make sure you screen their characters; I don’t want malicious people working in my security department.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lidell! The people I reached out to are all reliable folks. We might be mercenaries, but our main job has always been to protect our employer instead of taking on assassination missions. If anything, we’re mortal enemies with those mercenaries that kill, since their goal is to assassinate the people we’re supposed to protect.”
“That’s good, then. Make sure they’re good people. There are laws in this country, and it’ll be a hassle to explain it to the authorities if we end up recruiting an international fugitive. These people you recruit will fall under your leadership. You’re the head of the security department.”
“Understood! Thank you, Mr. Lidell!”
“We can start with an initial salary of ten million a year for the department head, bonuses will be calculated differently. The other employees can start with a million a year, and I’ll grant a pay raise according to capability. What do you think?” David asked.
Paul and the other two’s eyes widened in disbelief at David’s suggestion.
‘An initial salary of one million a year for normal employers and ten million for Paul as Head of Department?’
The twelve of them had only made over ten million despite working abroad for so many years. Not to mention that this was money they had risked their lives to earn.
Yet, Paul could make that much money in just a year.
Not to mention that the situation within the country was going to be much better than it was abroad.
