Master Of Time Chapter 7
Advertisement
Is it weird to use a fictional organization as my actual organization?
Not really.
It is all for plausible deniability.
I am planning to name all my secret organizations and divisions after their comic books counterpart, especially SHIELD.
If anyone ask, just point them to the right direction, in the comics.
Too bad Marvel Comics isn't exactly Marvel Comics right now.
This is the same with DC Comics.
With the new knowledge, Henry quits his job at the bank and begins to trade purely in stocks.
He also makes plans to purchase controlling interest in both Marvel and DC after he fully understands the Hail Hydra reference.
They are not the only companies he purchases controlling interesting in.
There is a reason why I had chosen 1950 as my starting point for world domination – I mean, ensuring humanity survival in the future.
You are not buying it, are you?
Alright. Let's call it my plan for World Domination for now.
Anyway, 1950 is the year that the first commercial transistor is available.
Therefore, it is the dawn of the computer age.
I like to think it is the dawn of the digital age instead.
Technology giants like Microsoft and Apple will be looking for initial investors in the coming years, and Henry will be there to offer them the necessary funding in exchange for stocks.
After these companies become public, Henry will buy more shares to assume absolute control.
To prevent unforeseeable problems, the shares are not control by a single entity. They are place into different portfolios, all belonging to Chrono Holdings.
In other word, Chrono Holdings is the true owner of all these companies.
I make sure Henry understands the butterfly effect. He is not allow to mess with the natural course of history and day to day operation of the companies that Chrono Holdings controls.
Well, at least until I allowed him to.
Even so, it is hard to hide Chrono Holdings itself from the public.
When you know exactly which stocks to buy and sell, you can make an absurd amount of money in a relatively short amount of time.
I decide Chrono Holdings should be a investor firm instead of a mere trust fund.
This allows the company to hide its actual assets inside all of its clients and portfolios.
Instead of waiting around for when Chrono Holdings becomes a powerhouse, I just skip five years into the future.

Before I did, I needed Henry to do a few things during those years.
To build secret headquarters of Hydra and Shield, several construction and manufacturing companies must be brought out completely.
The people working in those companies are replaced with those sworn to upmost secrecy.
Jimmy Furrow is my head of security. He is very dependable when I want someone to understand the finer point of being top secret.
Some deaths did happen, but that is the cost of doing business.
People dies everyday, some for the most stupidest thing ever.
As for Jimmy himself, he is still very fearful of me, knowing exactly what I can do.
The fear will keep him in line.
In addition, I cannot allow advance technologies of Hydra and Shield to be leaked into the world.
I will gradually introduce them into the world and make everyone's life a little bit easier.
"Mr. Maxwell. It is good to see you again."
Henry greet me in 1955, at a predefined location.
Aside being one of the most richest man in United States, he has a beard now.
I find his beard more interesting than his wealth.
Money is meaningless to me.
"Likewise, Henry. I like what you did with the company."
I reply and have a good look at Chrono Holdings from a distance. The company has its own headquarter in the middle of New York City with thousands of employees.
With its new reputation as number 1 broker in the United States, millions if not billions of dollar are passed through Chrono Holdings every single day.
Its very existence has cause a massive ripple in time. This is not to mention the sheer amount of assets it secretly controls.
"Thank you, Mr. Maxwell. It wouldn't have been possible without you."
I smile and shake my head.
"No, it is all you, Henry. All I did is updating the stock market data on the network every now and then. I didn't spend every waking moment thinking about what stock to buy and to sell. You did. You make Chrono Holdings what it is today. Impressive, I must say so myself. So, how does it feel to be rich?"
Henry was 22 years old when I first recruited him. He is now 27 years old.
"Not everything I imagine, unfortunately."
Henry answers with a hint of sadness.
As one of the richest man if not the richest in the country, Henry has to attend so many parties and meet so many people. He had met with Harry Truman, the previous president of the United States, in person and talk to the man. He is a friend of the current president, Dwight Eisenhower.

However, of all of the people Henry met, only a handful he considers to be trust worthy. Everyone else just wants to take advantage of him, his fame and money. This includes his long-time friends and even his families.
I laugh loudly since I have expected all of that.
Being rich isn't a gift to many.
It is actually more of a curse, especially in the romantic aspect. Why do you think celebrities constantly getting divorce.
True power isn't through money.
Money is a just a mean to an end.
"It is just another battle, Henry. I am sure that you will overcome the challenge and become stronger afterwards. Now, have you prepare what I have ask of you?"
Henry eyes me.
"Shouldn't you already know, Mr. Maxwell?"
I chuckle and shrug.
"I suppose I do, but I still wants to hear it from you, so next time, answer the question."
I order him. I didn't want to play trial and error every time I meet Henry. It is not only a waste of time, but it is very boring reliving the same moment over and over again.
Henry apologizes and gestures me towards the car.
I ponder for a while before shrugging and entering the car.
I could teleport to the where I want to go immediately, but taking a leisure drive isn't so bad.
Henry personally drives me to the dock. Along the way, so many people takes picture of him. Many of them even asks who I was.
"This is a good friend of mine."
Henry tells them. I give them a wave. It might be a problem in the future, but I could always say that the person in the picture is my father or grandfather.
"Mr. Oxford. Mr. Oxford! There some rumors that you are dating Miss Monroe. Is this true?"
Henry didn't answer the question and drives off.
"Is that true?"
I ask since I am aware of who Marilyn Monroe is. She is one of the top icons in Hollywood. I recall that she dies at a very young age – suicide apparently. Since everything has changed, she might not commit suicide this time around.
"Yes. Do you want me to break off with her Mr. Maxwell?"
Henry asks, surprising me. Did he just ask me whether he should breakup with her or not? Perhaps it is because I know the future.
"No. Just curious. How did you meet her?"
It was during one of those notorious casting couch, where actress exchanges sexual favors for a role in a movie.
Henry didn't use Chrono Holdings to gain access to Hollywood even if the company secretly owns both Fox and Warner Bros.
Due to his fame and status, Henry was actually invited to a private party, to which Marilyn Monroe is the dancer.
Hearing what had happened, I regret that I wasn't there, watching the show.
Oh well, plenty of chances in the future.
Once I am at the dock, a huge container ship is waiting for me along with Jimmy.
"Boss. Mr. Oxford."
Jimmy calls me and greets Henry.
Henry returns the greeting before saying his goodbye to me. He couldn't stay long due to the amount of work he has to do.
It takes a lot of time and energy to run a multi-billion dollar company.
This is the very reason why I don't want to run it myself. Let others do the hard work while I reap the benefits.
"Jimmy. Jimmy. You aged badly."
I comment before placing my hand on his shoulder.
The greys in his hair vanishes along with wrinkles in his face. He is five years younger than just a second ago.
"Thank you, boss."
Jimmy utters.
Although I can de-age him without touching him directly, I just want to show Jimmy that I am fair and friendly to those that is loyal to me.
"Now, shall we go to the Bermuda Triangle? I heard a lot of ships and planes go missing there. It is a perfect place for a hidden base."
Jimmy nods and accompanies to the massive container ships. So many equipment and materials are already loaded onto the ship.
A dozen of people greets me when I enters the bridge.
Like Jimmy, each person in the room is wearing a metallic ring with a special symbol on their middle finger.
The ring vibrates when a certain phrase is pronounce, telling the owner that they are in presence of friends and comrades.
"Hail Hydra."
