An Almighty System From On High

Chapter 17

Adrien considered for a moment. He had less than 1.5 million dollars in his pocket now and would need money for relocating the locals and upgrading the System.

“Can I get back to you later, Sylvia? I’m not sure if I’ll have time for that.”

“Sure. Mr. Higgins. Please let me know before the 8th day of next month.”

Meanwhile, Lilianne also received invitation letters for the auction.

“Ms. Olson, all the rich people in Reburg will attend this auction. The host also reserved two seats for Corestar Group. So, what do you think?” Celia reminded.

“You can come with me. I’ll take the chance and catch up with my friends. The last few days have been rough for me.”

“What about Mr. Higgins…”

“He doesn’t know anybody there. Just forget about him.”

“O… okay.”

Things went well for the next few days. Adrien thought his ordinary commercial car might not be decent enough if he took it to the auction. He took Sylvia’s advice and bought a Bentley commercial car with seven seats that was worth more than 600 thousand dollars. That would make Adrien look good on the auction!

April was drawing near.

Adrien had been expecting to hear the relocation news on April 4. Unexpectedly, people of Education Block reached out to Sylvia on April 1.
