Chapter 3: Why Here?
1 Month later
Sitting in his car, Castor drove home after his daily workout. After settling into his new life, he started working out around 4 times a week, eating three meals a day, and sometimes even just there and doing nothing for an hour or so.
He was now living a life he never would have thought was possible.
Getting into his apartment, Castor took a quick shower and went into his room, and opened his planner.
With his advanced day trading skills, he was making money much faster than he could have anticipated. He was already more than halfway into his goal for what he wanted to make in three months.
Originally he estimated making five million would take around three months but now he only needed a month and a half for him to reach it.
Opening his planner, Castor started editing his future plan as he was reaching his three-month goal faster than he anticipated.
"Let's see, so in the end, I should open a hedge fund and start stock trading on a wider scale, and later I can turn that hedge fund into an investment company that invests in everything," Castor said as he edited his future plans.
"Sounds simple, yet takes years of hard work." Castor chuckled.
Opening his laptop, Castor quickly revised the trades he was going to do on Monday. With his skills, day trading every single day was overkill. After all, making $10k a day was excellent and all, but making over 300-400 grand on a single trade was a better use of his skills.
With this, there would be days where he wouldn't trade much and call it a day after making around $70-60k, and when he did get lucky, he would make up to half a million dollars in a single day.
After checking his investment for tomorrow, Castor opened his bank account to make sure he was still on track to have $5 million dollars in a couple of weeks.
Right now he had around $2.7 million dollars in his bank account and $2.6 million in his investment account.
That 2.6 million couldn't be touched until it reached around $3.5 million because of all kinds of taxes that would go after it.
"No wonder most businesses find ways to evade taxes, then again most businesses aim to make the most money possible to pay all their shareholders a good amount."
"As for me, that wouldn't be the issue, after all the business is to recruit more clan members or so-called employees."
"Thinking about it now, I'm pretty sure it won't be long in the future before my company is seen as a cult of some sort."
Thinking about it Castor opened the system menu and opened the clan contract.
It mostly went on about how those who signed it would give up their allegiance and only truly serve the clan in their hearts and always wants the best for the clan no matter what.
Then it went and talked about weird and obscure things that even the Castor didn't understand, and when he tried asking the system it just told him his fame hadn't reached the right level.
Taking his mind off of that, Castor took out his phone and scrolled around the internet to find something to do tomorrow.
Every Saturday he would take a break and just relax and take his mind off all that was going on.
After scrolling for a while, Castor came onto something that greatly interested him.
[Classics vs Vintage vs Antique winner takes $250,000 At ##### #### ##### Entry fee $183]
"Hmm, this sounds pretty cool, I've always been interested in cool cars, and this also gives me an excuse to go shopping."
Castor quickly figured out his plans for tomorrow, not only did he now have another excuse to go shopping he also found something cool to do tomorrow.
—-------
Getting ready Castor closed his apartment and went out to his Hyundai Sonata Sport he bought for $8,000 because of how new it looked and was and drove to a somewhat expensive shopping street most people normally wouldn't go to.
Without wasting any time, Castor made his way to the mall, a place he had been dying to go to.
After all, old habits die hard, and with over $2.6 million dollars in the bank, the urge to buy things was always there, just slowly creeping up on him.
Getting out of his car and walking into the mall, Castor gave himself a quick pep talk.
"All right, the budget for this trip is $5,000 including clothes, shoes, and any accessories or other things that I want."
Looking around at all the different shops and people, Castor finally decided the first thing he would get would be a couple of new shoes, right now, he only had the same two shoes that he would use for everything.
Going into the closest shoe store, Castor immediately spotted a couple of shoes that he wanted and, without hesitation, bought them.
With the mentality of nouveau riche, he immediately bought everything that he liked, even some useless stuff he knew he would never use or wear more than once or twice, were bought.
The same thing happened to all the stores he visited, and it wasn't long until Castor had enough bags that he could barely hold on to when he finally stopped shopping and went back home.
By the time he reached his apartment It was already 1:30 pm meaning Castor had spent around three hours shopping.
Sitting on his couch with a bunch of bags around him Castor signed and went through all the bills to see how much he spent.
"Thank god it ain't that high, only went overboard by only two thousand," Castor said after adding everything up.
Instead of the terrifying amount, he thought he spent in the end he only spent $7,623.83 on the whole shopping trip.
"I mean I'll probably use all this sometime."Castor said, taking out a giant pair of oversized glasses that didn't even fit his head.
"Yea, I'll use it one day," Castor said as he started dressing up in his new clothes.
Looking at himself in the mirror, only one word came to the actor's mind.
"I look like a trust fund baby."
Wearing a light Ralph Lauren polo sweatshirt with some nice white shorts and some blue/white high tops air jordans he had found.
Castor looked like a young man that had been privileged since he was a child.
"Ahh he who cares, I'm dressing for me after all." Castor said not really caring about how highly privileged he seemed.
Then again with the amount of money he makes, his worldview was already different from normal people's.
Looking at the time it was already 1:50 pm and the event started at 3:00 pm, though most people were advised to go early so they could go look at all the different types of cars as the voting would start at 3:30 pm.
Without wasting any more time, Castor quickly closed his apartment door and went out.
While he wasn't the biggest car guy out there, he had his favorite collection of classic cars and vintage cars, he was hoping to see them there.
As for Antique cars he never really saw the appeal of them, sure they looked interesting, but they only made him feel a little when he saw them.
The place where the event was held was in the suburbs so the drive took around 25 minutes, mostly due to traffic.
Getting there, Castor could see all sorts of people parking and making their way to the entrance where they would get a bracelet to let them in.
Seeing the long line, Castor mindlessly went to the very back, planning to just browse the internet for a while while he waited.
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
[Concubine candidate is near...1 meter in front of you!]
Seeing this message Castor looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't really tell what she looked like as she was wearing very baggy clothing.
'So this is probably one of my future girls? I thought you said I would most likely meet them at high society meetings?'
[I said mostly that there 90% of them would be at, and the other 10% can be met anywhere, also, if you're able to touch her for around five minutes, I can scan her to show you more information about her.]
'What can they do?'
[The scan will give you a more profound knowledge of why she's able to be chosen as a concubine candidate and also some other things about her to let you get closer to her]
'Five minutes wouldn't be that hard." Castor thought to himself.
After the last couple of weeks of working out and eating right his figure had transformed filling in more of his frame, so while he was still skinny, it was way better.
Coupled with his height and looks, he was all in all a handsome young man that most women wouldn't mind having a conversation with.
