Hundred Times Income Multiplier System



Inside a well furnished room, two people sat facing each other. One of them was Nathan, a man who was in his late fifties. He was currently wearing a loose brown shirt and a pair of white trousers.

His eyes were sharp as he gazed at the other person that was seated across him in the room. This man seemed older than Nathan considering that there were several more wrinkles on his face as compared to Nathan whose hair had just began turning grey.

This man had sharp features. From the looks of it, he was a handsome man during his youth as he still maintained a certain charm even though he was already old.

This man was wearing a green t-shirt accompanied by loose grey sweat pants. Just from the looks of it, one could tell that he was a man who liked to be free from all things that would cause his life to be boring.

Too bad that he was born in a family where each and everyone's performance mattered the most when it came to the matters concerning authority and the ability to speak and get whatever one wanted to get.

This man was called Martin. He was Nathan's older brother, as well as Anita and Anne's eldest sibling.

"What is it Nathan, you know that I have got a lot of things to do at the moment. So, I would appreciate if you could tell me whatever it is that you wanted to see me for as soon as possible so that I can get going." Martin spoke with an impatient tone.

"Come on brother, you are saying that you are busy with something when you were sleeping when I asked to see you?" Nathan looked at his brother, disbelief clear in his eyes.

"What? You don't think that sleeping is something that can make a person to be considered being busy?" Martin asked with narrowed eyes.

"That can be considered if this was nighttime. But now, it's only 2pm. It's still during the day. So, you should at least be doing something right now. At the end of the day, this Is the first date of the month of September." Nathan stated.

"You should know that the weather has already began changing. We have just experienced summer, the temperatures were quite high. But now that autumn has come in, the temperatures have already began dropping. So, let me take a rest. Hurry up with whatever you want to say so that I can go to sleep." Martin complained.

They were currently in his house that was located at the east end of the family manor. He didn't even want to leave the house because he felt that he couldn't handle the changes in the weather conditions.

"Humph." Nathan snorted before he finally spoke about what had brought him to see his brother. "I have been trying to contact father and uncle recently, since Saturday. But, all of them are turning me down for the meeting."

"What did you do to make them stop coming to see you when you requested their audience?" Martin questioned as he eyed Nathan. From what he knew, both his father and uncle would definitely not refuse to seeing any of them.

But, the condition for that was that, they had to be having something urgent that would actually need their intervention. Otherwise, there would be a punishment that would come in the moment that the two elderlies found that they were being disturbed.

Unlike the old fogies that were found in the fantasies, who would spend a lot of time in seclusion to increase their strength, the elders of the Jesda family were different.

They were the ones that were in charge of the main family businesses that were either in or out of the country. So, they didn't like to be disturbed.

Although they were already old, they would only stop working when they had finally found someone that was going to replace them. Though, they would supervise their inheritors to make sure that he was on the right track before they finally retire.

Normally, by such a time where they were already in their early or late eighties and some in their late nineties, they would have already retired. But, there was something that had happened a few decades back in that, the elders decided that they would not leave the reigns of the family to the generation that came after them.

In other words, it was only the second generation that came after them that would take over the family. So, they had been work themselves off till this moment where they were supposed to have retired already.

"I haven't done anything to irk them at all. As long as I can remember, there is nothing that I did that is not according to the family rules." Nathan stated.

Martin looked at him with squinted eyes. Of course he didn't believe in such a blatant lie to his face. From the way that he knew this brother of his, he was someone that would do anything to get whatever he wanted.

And considering that recently, there were many people who had been competing for the position of the family head that had decided not to compete further, leaving only two people, Nathan's son and Anita's son.This chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Though, he decided not to talk about this as it would end up extending the time that he was going to spend awake.

"Alright, just tell me what you were going to tell them so that I can see if it's something that I can ask father to come out and handle." Martin waved his hand as he stated.

Nathan's lips twitched at Martin's words. Just from the way that he was saying things, it could easily be thought that he usually came to speak nonsense to his father and uncle. He had no time to waste on other things like that as he had a long list of things to do so that he could get whatever power he wanted.

"I wanted to talk about my son, Arthur. He was attacked and beaten to that extend by Johnathan. Now, not only has my son become a cripple who we don't know if he would ever be able to walk again, he is already have a problem with his mind due to the harsh beating that he received." Nathan stated.

The more that he spoke about the situation, the more angry he got at that. The only ticket that he had to gain power, control over the whole Jesda family, had suddenly been torn. It was now a wonder whether it could be fixed or not.

Martin looked at Nathan, doubt clear in his eyes. He then spoke, "Are you sure that you are not mistaking Johnathan for someone else?"

"What do you mean brother? This is the information that I have gotten from my son who has just woken up not long ago." Nathan retorted with a frown on his face.

"And you just said that your son is having a problem with his mind. Could it be that he mistook Johnathan for someone else?" Martin questioned further.

"I said that there was a problem with his mind, but who the heck said that he is having a problem with his memory?!" Nathan shouted as he pointed his finger at Martin.

"Come on, I'm just trying to make sure that things are on the right track here. Furthermore, why would Johnathan do something that is completely against the family rules and leave all the evidence there is to find?" Martin shrugged as he replied before he asked again.

"Although he just woke up, he could still remember that I'm his father. And when I asked about who was behind the condition that he was in, he stated that it was Johnathan. How do you even know that Johnathan thought that Arthur would be in a coma forever and never wake up?" Nathan practically roared at this moment.

He was even regretting over the fact that he had actually come over to ask for his unreliable brother's help. Had there been any other choice, he would have chosen that rather than coming over to try convincing his brother about the truth.

Martin looked at Nathan with suspicion. He was wondering if this was a way that Nathan had devised so that he could clear the way for his son towards the position of the family head.

According to the family rules, as long as one didn't want to become the family head, then that person would never be allowed to get into that position. And if a person went against the family rules, that person would also not be allowed to take over the position.

Clearly, all the other previous competitors had stated that they didn't want to compete for the position of the family head any longer. So, the moment that they declared so, they were no longer qualified for that position again.

"Are you trying to use the family rules to eliminate our nephew out of the competition? You know that there would be investigation that would be carried out to find out the truth behind the matter. So, if they find that you were trying to accuse Johnathan about this, you would face severe punishment." Martin stated.

"I know the family rules all too well brother. There is no need for you to go ahead and remind me about them. It has already been over fifty years since I began recounting the family rules." Nathan stated. At the same time, there was a tinge of hatred that flashed in his eyes.
