An Almighty System From On High

Chapter 20



Chapter 20
When Adrien clicked the Skills key last time, his memory got much better than before. Therefore, he thought things would be the
same this time. He clicked the Blessing key and waited for something to happen.
He didn’t expect the System would wish him never to get sick. Others might think it was a useless wish, but it was the best wish
Adrien could want!
“Great thanks, System! About Raffles, I want to draw one now.”
“Ding! Please get ready to draw a Raffle, Host.”
Adrien closed his eyes. Three golden red boxes appeared before him and began to rotate quickly.
Adrien reached out and grabbed one box just as he was getting dizzy.
“I’ll choose this one! They are making me sick.”
“Ding! Please click the box you have chosen, Host”
Adrien did as the System told him.
“Ding! You just got a mansion worthy of 600 million dollars in downtown Sunrise City, Host. Here are the keys and property
certificate!”
Adrien was trembling with joy when he heard the System. He had never been to any mansion and only saw it on television. But
now, he would own a mansion in Sunrise City worth 600 million dollars!
Adrien wondered how much coverage area such a castle would be.
He decided to move to Sunrise City for the sake of System after he finished his business in Postport.
It would be a huge waste if Adrien left a grand castle lying idle.
Adrien could relax now as he had used all four function keys overnight. He wouldn’t have to worry about missing out on things
the new function keys might offer if the System upgraded suddenly.
Adrien got up early the following day, sold all the stocks he bought yesterday, and enjoyed a fancy breakfast prepared by Jaxton.

“Mr. Higgins, I just checked with my former boss. Postport Bank allows you to invest no more than 150 million dollars as principal
to leverage a fund 50 times your principal, 450 million dollars to leverage a fund 20 times your principal, and 1.5 billion dollars to
leverage ten times your principal. The amount of funds you will get is related to the probability of liquidation. The more principal
you put in, the lower the probability of liquidating will be. Accordingly, you will get fewer funds from the bank. Vice versa, the less
principal you put in, the higher the probability of closing the transaction, and the more money you will get from the bank.”
“Okay. I’ll put in 1.5 billion dollars as principal to leverage a fund ten times my principal. Sylvia, tell the other guys about our trip
and make sure they have their passports prepared. We will fly to Postport on April 20 and get back on the night of April 22. We’ll
do the transaction on April 22”
“Okay. Mr. Higgins.” Sylvia already prepared everything. After learning about Sylvia’s new boss‘ plan of investing 1.5 billion
dollars to leverage a fund ten times his principal and short a stock, the heir of the Brooks family in Sunrise City was greatly
intrigued. He helped Sylvia to get in touch with the securities trader, operator, and third party.
“I have something to share with you.” Adrien summoned all his housekeeping team, eight people in total.
“Mr. Higgins, you can just tell us what you need,” Sylvia said.
“Well, I’m thinking of moving to Sunrise City next month. Will you come with me?”

People looked at each other in confusion when they heard what Adrien said.
“Sure. Mr. Higgins We’ll follow you wherever you go. But, do you have any property over there?”
“Yes, Sylvia. I have a small mansion. We’ll all live in that manor.”
“Okay. Mr. Higgins.”
The next few days were easy for Adrien. He would go out for walks and shopping sometimes, but he spent much time in the
bookstore. Gradually, Adrien became interested in many subjects, such as medicine, astronomy, geography, and even divination!
He even got himself some tarot cards to study every day.
Still, no one in the Corestar Group reached out to Adrien. He almost forgot about the loss that the company would suffer from the
shipwrecks.

It was April 10, and Adrien was about to leave the house.
“Mr. Higgins, you need to attend the auction today. Where are you heading now?” Sylvia stopped Adrien and asked.
“Oh, right. I forgot about it. I did promise Caspar and Derek that I would come.”
“What will you wear, Mr. Higgins?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never been to any auction before.”
“I’ve arranged for people from the garment company to come over and pick the right outfit for you at 11 o’clock, Mr. Higgins.”
“Huh? Other people will choose the outfit for me?”
“Yes, Mr. Higgins. About the watch, the dark blue Vacheron Constantin on your wrist will do.”
“Okay.”
At 11 o’clock, people from the garment company arrived. They brought tons of new clothes. The designer held each outfit to
Adrien and checked if it fitted him. He gave the ones that fitted Adrien to his assistant and tossed aside the ones that didn’t.
Finally, he chose three top suits and told Adrien. “Mr. Higgins, I think those suits fit you well. You can take them all. You will need
to get changed for the party after the auction.”
“What do you mean?” Adrien didn’t know the drill of auction.
“Mr. Higgins, it’s normal to have a spare outfit for an important occasion like an auction. You will need one suit for the auction,
one for the party, and another as spare.” Sylvia explained.
“I see. Okay, I’ll take three suits then.
“Okay. Mr. Higgins. Those suits are all Stefano Ricci. It costs 70 thousand dollars for the suits. With the leather shoes and other
accessories, you need to pay 110 thousand dollars in total.”
“What?” Adrien was shocked.
“Mr. Higgins, if it’s too expensive for you, I can...”

“No, it’s not that. I’ll take everything you just recommended, and don’t forget about these two suits. This color looks great. I take
this suit as well. By the way, I have eight staff members here. Pick something for them to wear. They will attend the auction with
me. I won’t have them wear anything bad. I’ll pay 150 thousand dollars for each outfit for them.
“What?” The designer was confused. He thought he only needed to pick outfits for Mr. Higgins. He didn’t expect Mr. Higgins to be
extravagant and buy clothes for his driver, bodyguards, chef, doctor, and other staff,
“What? Is there a problem?”
“No, of course not. I’ll go back and fetch more clothes. Please wait a moment, Mr. Higgins.”
“No hurries. I’ll give the money to you now. Otherwise, I may forget about it.”
Adrien transferred 1.5 million dollars and showed the transfer note to the designer. Seeing Adrien already paid, the designer
began to pick clothes immediately.
“Mr. Higgins, we don’t need to look good. I’m just a driver. I won’t go inside the auction. You don’t have to buy me such an
expensive suit.”
