"Hey George, it's been four days since we last saw Neo. Is he okay?" Amelia asked.
"Don't worry about him. Do you really think something will happen to someone as powerful as he is? He's probably just enjoying his stay here," George replied in a lower voice.
"You're right. Let's go; I'm tired for today. With Neo's perverted behavior, it's no surprise if he's indulging in his desires," Amelia said.
When George heard this, he smiled and scratched his head. Women's instincts really are accurate. Still, George couldn't help but admire Neo more; going four days without going out is insane.
On the other side, So-Hee was overthinking things. She had been waiting for Neo to call her, but he hadn't texted or called at all. The first day was acceptable, the second was quite annoying, and by the third day, she was complaining to herself. Now, on the fourth day, she couldn't focus on her work because thoughts of Neo consumed her. What if he called her now? She kept looking at her phone and waiting for someone to call her.
"It's already evening, and he still hasn't called. So much for having a crush on me. Damn that guy! He showed off and didn't even bother to contact me. So irritating," she mumbled to herself and her annoyance can be seen in her face
"Why are you so annoyed, So-Hee? You've been in a bad mood all day," her co-star said. They were filming a scene today, and her co-star noticed her mood.
"Don't worry about me, Jun. Everything's okay," she smiled and pretended to be fine.
As for Neo, he was either sleeping or having a sexual encounter with a member of Itzy. Sometimes they engaged in group sessions, or sometimes it was one-on-one. Either way, he was enjoying his time with them.
"So, you guys plan to leave tomorrow morning and let them know about what I'm offering, right?" Neo asked.
"Hmm. Where should we set up the meeting, Neo?" Yeji replied.
"You can just come here. I'll provide you with my phone number, and then message me to let me know what day it will be. And before you go, let's enjoy the night, hehe." With that, the night passed in passion. When morning came, the girls woke Neo up to inform him that they would be leaving.
Since they are famous and didn't bring any security, Neo asked the hotel to arrange transportation to their desired location. With that settled, Neo continued his sleep for a few more hours.
Yawning, I stretched my body. "Even if I don't need sleep anymore, I can't deny that waking up after nine hours of sleep is satisfying. We've been here for six days already? Time really does fly when you're enjoying yourself," I said aloud. I picked up my phone to check a message I had received last night but hadn't bothered to look at since I was in the middle of something.
"Oh, it's Isaac and Sali," I said as I clicked on Isaac's message first. It read: "Neo, the renovations for your shop are complete. As you instructed, I rushed them to finish the basic instructional design. All the necessary permits are in my possession. Just inform me when you're ready to open, and I'll start promoting it." Isaac sure works hard, huh?
Next, I clicked on Sali's message. "Good day, sir. The flight stewardess you hired and her friends are on standby in California. As for the pilot, I've hired four veteran pilots. We're just waiting for the aircraft." I smiled; she really is capable.
I type on my phone to respond to Isaac first. "Thanks, Isaac. Once I hire the staff, the shop will open. No need for an opening ceremony or anything." After sending the message, I typed another one for Sali: "Sali, you did a great job. I'll inform you when the plane is ready, okay? I will call the broker to check on the status of the plane. For now, just relax with the stewardess and pilots." After sending the message, I dialed Steve's number.
"Hello, Steve. What's the status?"
"Good evening, sir. I'm glad you called. I was just considering whether to contact you tonight or tomorrow. The plane and helicopter are ready. I'm currently in California because I've purchased the hangar, and I'm checking to see if everything is in order. I have all the paperwork in my possession; it's just waiting for your signature," Steve replied.
I glanced at the clock. It was 11:30 AM in Korea and 7:30 PM in California. "Are you available right now? Send me your location, and I'll be there in 30 minutes."
"Okay. The sooner you have this completed, the better for me. I'm currently at a hotel; we can meet there," Steve said, providing his location before I hung up the phone.
"I should visit the shop first." I used my teleportation ability and arrived in front of a three-story building. If you looked from the outside, you might think it was already ready for use, but the interior was empty, with only the base structures in place.
I activated my invisibility so that passersby wouldn't see me appearing out of nowhere. The shop's location was in an area filled with luxury boutiques, drawing many people to the vicinity.
I walked inside the building, looking around and starting to plan what to do. "Ultron, let's get to work. Replace all the wood with solid metal, and make the walls of high-quality gold granite. Use high-quality black marble for the floor. The first floor should include a large vault and three rooms. Also, create decorations made of gold and a display stand for gold animal figurines on the first floor, with jewelry on the second floor. On the third floor, make a stand to hold various kinds of precious stones of different sizes."
Neo thought for a moment and then said, "After you're done, put a sign outside with the title 'Gray Vault' and make the front of the building glass. After that, reinforce the building and buy me three T-900s as guards."
*Host, the costs are as follows: Metals for this building will be 100 SP. Gold granite for the walls will be 400 SP. The marble for the floor will be 600 SP. The complete renovation and gold decorations will be 900 SP. Reinforcement will cost 2,000 SP, and the three T-900 units will be 2,300 SP. Additionally, making the vault more secure with titanium will be 500 SP*
*Processing… Complete. Total SP spent is 11,400 SP. Remaining SP: 422,000 SP.*
With that, the entire building started trembling, and within a few seconds, the renovations were complete. I summoned the three T-900s—two men and one woman.
"Master," they said in unison.
"You three will be the guards of this place. If someone breaks in, stop them. Don't kill them; just hold them until the police arrive." I instructed, and they nodded in response. The T-900 units were the most human-like, capable of learning and communicating effectively.
'The shop is ready; the only thing left is the items I should display.' I decided to visit Pandora, where I could create various types of animals made of gold and jewelry.
I began imagining different designs, and soon, a variety of jewelry and animal figurines, as well as mythical creatures made of gold, appeared. Most of the jewelry featured precious stones, and some of the smaller figurines were crafted from diamonds. I even made many precious stones
