I make this in Pandora because the treasure I obtained in the One Piece world consists mostly of jewelry, coins, and even utensils. It's rare to find a figurine made of gold. Another reason is to store these treasures in the vault.
I exited Pandora and used the Shadow Clone Jutsu to put the figurine and jewelry in their places. I also arranged the precious stones on the third floor. After that, I moved to the vault and stocked many treasures inside.
"Done. Hey guys, come here!" I called out. The Terminator moved beside me. "You, with the buff physique, will be T1. You, the only girl, will be T2, and you, with the normal build, will be T3. T1 and T3, you will be guarding the store—T1 outside and T3 inside. As for you, T2, you'll be guarding this vault. I'm leaving now. Here's a picture of the person who will manage this store. Follow his lead and try to act more like humans when he hires people to work here. Lastly, call me 'boss,' not 'master,' okay?"
"Roger that, boss," they saluted in unison.
"Don't act like that. Learn how humans normally respond, okay? I'll be going now. Take care of the store," I said, and then I teleported out.
I arrived in an alley where no one was around. After ensuring no one was suspicious, I walked inside the hotel and called Steve.
"Steve, I'm already here. Waiting in the lobby."
"Okay, I'll be there," Steve replied, rushing out with a briefcase containing the papers.
While I waited, I decided to sit in the waiting area. Not long after, Steve approached and offered his hand.
"Nice to finally meet you, sir. I'm Steve Varsano."
"Hello, Steve. Nice to meet you too."
"Here, these are all the papers you need to sign. After you sign them, I'll process them tomorrow, and your plane will be ready in three days. The plane is already at your hangar, and all the permits are included. As for your two helicopters, they will be delivered tomorrow to your house," Steve explained, pointing at the papers.
"Okay." I signed all the papers. "So, tomorrow afternoon the plane will be ready? I'll give you my assistant's number so you can hand her all these papers. Thank you, I'll be taking my leave now, Steve," I said, and we bid farewell after I handed him Sali's number.
Once I walked outside, I called Jack.
"You miss me, bro?" Jack asked.
"That's gay! I'm informing you that the shop is ready. I already hired someone to guard it, but you need employees too. Contact this number and ask her to help you; she was my secretary."
"Wow, a secretary. Okay, okay. I have someone in mind to hire as well. And where is the place, anyway? Give me two days to learn everything I need to run the shop," Jack replied.
"Okay. Good luck. Try to make money; don't stay poor, Jack," I said, teasingly.
"Damn you..." He hadn't finished speaking when I hung up the phone.
After talking with Jack, I walked to the same alley and teleported back home, where my three girlfriends were gathered. After two days of activities, I returned to the hotel in Korea, at the same time I had left but on a different date.
The helicopter had already been delivered to my house, and my father quickly hired someone to fly it with my mom. Similarly, I hired someone to try it out with Sabrina, Madison, and Elizabeth.
I hadn't even had a chance to sit on the couch when Sali called me. I picked up, and her voice came through.
"Hello, sir. Good afternoon. Mr. Steve informed me that the transfer of ownership is complete. I'm currently on my way to pick it up. Also, your friend called me the other day, and I've already helped him hire employees. Is there anything else you need, sir?"
"You've done a great job, Sali. The last thing I need is for you to go to Chase Bank and speak with the CEO. Tell him I sent you and ask him to set you up with a business account. You can use the plane to travel. After that, send me your account number for expenses. Lastly, get some rest and come to Korea."
"Copy that, sir. After I finish my meeting with Mr. Steve, I will head straight to Chase Bank. As for my bank account, it's right here, sir..."
"Once you acquire the business account, make sure to take good care of it. You're the only one authorized to use it, okay? Take care, Sali. I'll see you in a few days."
"Don't worry, sir. You can trust me," she said, and I hung up the phone after our conversation.
"Hm, it's so good to have an assistant. Wait, I forgot to inform Yeji that I'll be gone for two days." I picked up my phone again to check if I had any messages. As expected, there was one. I clicked on it and read:
"Neo, we will meet you in three days. The boss just received a call from your friends regarding the endorsement of the cancer cure. I also informed him about you, and he immediately wanted to meet you, but he is out of town. He wants to make it more formal by inviting you. Come to this location at 6 PM, or do you want us to pick you up?" This message was from two days ago. I should call her. I dialed Yeji's number and waited for her to answer.
"Hello, Neo. I thought you had abandoned us. If it weren't for the ongoing discussions about the medicine endorsement, we would think you were just playing with us," Yeji's tone sounded a bit sad.
"My bad. I was out for two days and didn't use my phone. Is today still the date you mentioned?"
"Yes, yes! Director J.Y. Park has gathered all the idols, actresses, and actors under JYP Entertainment. Even though we haven't heard from you for the last two days, we still prepared everything in case you showed up or called last minute," Yeji replied.
"Sorry again. I'll be there; don't worry." I talked with Yeji a little longer to go over the details before ending the call.
Meanwhile, Yeji, who was in her room, quickly stood up and rushed out to find the others.
"Guys! Neo responded. He said he'll be there later!" Yeji shouted excitedly.
"Good! We need to inform Director Park. He has been waiting for this news for two days," Yuna said.
"I'll call him now. This is going to be huge, and it's also the time that JYP will officially announce that Itzy will b endorsing a breakthrough in medicine history," Yuna said as she picked up her phone to dial J.Y. Park's number.
"Hello, Yuna. Do you have any news for me today? Why don't we go to his hotel?" J.Y. Park asked.
"Sir, Neo just called Yeji. He said that he'll be there later," Yuna replied.
"Good, good! You guys are the best. Now go to your makeup artist. We must not be late; this will be a big event for the world to see," J.Y. Park said with excitement in her voice.
"Okay, director. Goodbye!" Yuna hung up the phone and turned to the others. "Let's go get our makeup done."
"It's already 1 PM—five more hours before the world hears about us again." Chaeryeong exclaimed.
"I'm so excited!" Lia added.
"I'm more excited to see Neo, hehe. I missed feeling his touch," Ryujin joked, playfully squeezing her breast.
