Chapter 31: Recruit
Suddenly Adam heard a shout from the other end of the line. It was the manager. "Adam you became so rich and you didn’t even tell me!" he yelled. His voice was a mix of shock and excitement.
Adam smiled. "But I’m telling you now," he said. "That’s why I’m telling you to quit your job. I’ll give you double the salary you are getting now. I already know how much they pay you."
After hearing this the manager became emotional. "Adam my brother," he said his voice thick with emotion. "Are you telling the truth? You’re not joking with me right?"
Adam’s voice became serious. "If you come to my place I will show you my bank account," he said. "That’s why I’m telling you to quit that job. I have a very strong idea. A very big idea. We will definitely succeed."
Adam spoke with so much confidence that the manager started to believe him. He felt a surge of hope. He could finally escape his miserable job. He could finally do something meaningful with his life. He made a decision.
"Okay," he said his voice firm. "I’m with you. I’m coming to your house right now." He hung up the phone.
Adam also put down his phone. He looked out the window of his small office. He saw the students playing on the court. He saw the vast school complex. He saw the city stretching out beyond it. He smiled a confident smile.
"My friend," he said to himself. "Now we will both control this world." The first piece of his empire had been set.
The first soldier had been recruited. The game was truly on. And he was ready. He was more than ready. He was born for this. He was born to rule. And he would. One click at a time.
Adam felt a sense of triumph. He had his manager. His first recruit. But as he looked out at the sprawling school grounds a new thought occurred to him.
