Next day.
70 miles away from the city there is an estate which by every means looks like heavens. It has a grand mansion and 10's of beautiful gardens which are always lush green no matter which season.
The mansion is of modern architecture but it also has the Royal castle feel. The mansion has around 100 servants.
This estate is known as Foley estate. The owner is a 16-year-old who is now having breakfast with his butler standing behind him with a smile.
" So Sebastian, what happened when I was on my trip to las vegas. Joshua asks while eating the pancake that Sebastian made.
The mansion has a lot of cooks but Joshua eats the food made by Sebastian at least once a time of day.
Sebastian enthusiastically replied
" The past month was great, Young master."
" our movie was released the first week and people are going crazy about it. Only in 3 weeks, the movie earned 170 million dollars all around the globe. Only in 3 weeks, your net worth has increased by 100 million and it is still increasing.
The pharmaceutical license that you wanted. It has been cleared.
Actually, Frost Inc Thought that you were rising too fast. So they bribe the individuals. Don't worry we have sent a perfect reply to them. "
What Sebastian was talking about was that when the colleges release the information about Joshua's intellect. Everyone knows that a new tycoon was up to rising and coupled with Joshua's newspaper they were fearing for themselves. After all, a person with genius alone was nothing to them but a person with sufficient money and high genius is dangerous. There are various examples of that.
So when the news about the Foley industry entering the pharmaceutical business came many were alerted. They knew that if they let Joshua enter then they were in very tough competition. Such a name was Frost Inc. They bribed the government officials to not grant Joshua the license.
So Sebastian thoroughly destroyed the government officials' reputation. And also The fact that Joshua killed a director in broad daylight also scared people. They understand that they were not competing with a lamb but a very dangerous wolf in sheep's skin.

" Frost inc huh. They have to pay for various of their crimes. But now is not the time. But let's send them a present."
" Tell me, Sebastian, do you know that the only son of Mr. Frost is very open-minded. So open-minded that he has a gay lover. " Joshua said with a thin smile munching on his pancake.
Sebastian was looking at Joshua with a very amusing smile. Sebastian has nothing for the LGBT community but not all people were so supportive of this. And it is 85. The only rumor was enough to deal a devastating blow to the Frost Inc reputation. No wonder that old coot named his second daughter his heir.
If this news comes out then Frost Inc. Will get a very big hit.
" I wasn't aware of that. And I assure you that Mr. Jack( chief editor of Joshua's newspaper ) will be very happy to know this."
" Also young master. We also got a publication license too for your comic book business. The stories that you have written will soon start publishing. "
" Good and what about our Textile business. We have started manufacturing the new type of fabric that you made. And we let some people free try it and they all are going crazy over it.
Also, your Idea of creating luxurious clothing design for rich people only is also getting a huge response.
Our first product will be released this week and with your technique's I have no doubt this will be an instant hit.
I mean limited edition clothing that's new even for me. " Sebastian said laughing.
Joshua has a smile on his face.
" People love to show off Sebastian. For a successful business, you just make a limited amount of 10000 dollar products. Sell it at 25000 and then destroy half of that and say that it is not for poor people.
People will be attracted to you like a moth is attracted to fire. "
" You are right young master. "
" Did you invest in those companies that I told you to? I need at least 30 percent of their shares. "

" Ah. Those companies Acer, Toshiba, Lenovo, Microsoft. Yes young master I have invested into them. "
" Good"
" These companies are going to make us a great amount of fortune. "
" Also Young Master, Now that people are aware that a new young genius is in the market they are thinking about what kind of product you will introduce especially now when the market is hot." Sebastian asked him.
" tell me one thing Sebastian, what sells the most in this world " Joshua asked Sebastian.
" I don't know Young master. "
" sex"
" I don't understand. You will in near future."
" Also did you Find out about Charles Xavier." Joshua asked. Charles Xavier was a person of great influence In comics.
Not only because of his mental powers but also because of his wealth. But no one really knows how much influence Charles has based on his wealth and how wealthy he was or how he earns money.
So Joshua asked Sebastian to get Information about Charles Xavier. He wants to know everything about him. There is a saying that you win 90 percent of battle already if you have the correct information.
" I think we should amass our wealth and increase our Influence more Young Master," Sebastian said with some worry in his voice.
" Is it that bad? "
" Even more so than we think. "
" He is not involved in his family business Directly but he is controlling Everything from behind the curtain. He is friends with technically every powerful public figure. He is involved in politics and has various congressmen in his pocket.
His wealth is the same around the starks around 1.7 billion dollars.
He is a genius and goes for lectures in various universities per month. He is also a world-renowned psychiatrist.
He is a shark in the pond Young master. Be very careful around him." Sebastian told him about his findings.
" Don't worry too much. I am not going to dive into battle without preparation. Also, I am damn sure he will not kill me. Charles loves mutants more than anything. This is a fact I can't deny about him.
He might be an old geezer who has no qualms about privacy and mind raping people, sealing their memories, etc. He even sacrifices his true love to secure the Mutant race and that demands respect. But he wants his race to live in peace and that's why I don't want to kill him but having him around is more dangerous.
We will see what happens when the time comes.
Also, did you find about his girlfriends and one night stands as I told you about? "
Joshua said, releasing a sigh he was holding. He knows that Charles was rich but not at this level. Even his own wealth is around 600 million dollars.
" yes, Young Master. I inquired about them too and according to me, only one can be his true son. The woman's name is Gabrielle Haller and she has a son David who can be his true son. " Sebastian said.
After hearing the name Joshua froze. He just asks Sebastian to know about it because there was some possibility that Legion exists in this world. All the color of his face was drained and he only said one thing
" Fuck "
" Young master " Sebastian was surprised by his Outburst.
" Sebastian do anything but I want David's blood at any cost. And also kill him. Go personally. If we miss by a fraction we are dead in every possible way. Even if we time travel we will be dead if he lives.
Actually, bring him and his family here. I will personally handle it. " Joshua said with urgency in his voice.
