After a hearty meal, Victor finally left the table.
The servants, who had been watching like tigers, swarmed in and, in just 10 seconds, completely ransacked the dining table, leaving Wanda, who hadn't even reacted, and Pietro, who was struggling to digest with a full stomach.
The chef hadn't even been able to enter the kitchen all day, and it was likely she would be fired.
If they didn't work harder, they might also lose their high-paying jobs.
Since it was evening, Victor didn't return to his bedroom this time.
In Reception Room No. 2, he skillfully brewed tea while listening to Felicia's report.
"The acquisition of 'Riot Games' has been initially completed, and the current price is 1.74 million us dollar.
Do you have any concerns?"
"Hmm, that's fine.
Have some tea."
Victor pushed a cup of tea to Felicia: "All employee salaries will be increased by 20%.
Those who don't want to stay will receive three months' severance pay."
Felicia picked up the ceramic teacup, blew on it lightly, then drank it all in one gulp, her expression unfazed.
Victor silently put down his hand, which had been preparing to refill her tea.
This was a rare Da Hong Pao, not one of those grafted inferior products.
Since harvesting stopped in 2005, there wasn't much left on the market.
If she didn't understand the Dao of tea, she shouldn't waste it.
The report continued.
"Regarding the Superman copyright from Warner, they are asking for 5 million us dollar.
What do you think?"
"A maximum of 1 million us dollar.
If they don't agree, then forget it.
It's just a name, and it won't be used for commercial purposes.
They'll regret it later."
Victor slowly sipped his tea and said casually.
"Understood."
Felicia silently noted it down.
"Most of the Materials on your list are stocked in the warehouse.
A small portion of rare Materials will take some time, estimated to be procured within 5 days.
A separate warehouse has already been designated for storage."
Victor hummed softly as he held his tea, waiting for more.
"Chairman Osborn heard you wanted an entire floor and decided to give you the high-level office on the 100th floor.
What do you think?"
"Tell Osborn to clear out the 107th floor."
Victor said indifferently: "Demolish everything except the load-bearing walls."
This guy actually thought he could just fob him off with the 100th floor.
But then again, it made sense.
Up until now, Victor had only provided a bottle of t-virus and some empty words.
After that, he had been spending lavishly, so it was understandable that the other party's support would wane.
When he went back this time, it was time to give him a taste of something sweet.
To make a horse run, you still have to give it grass.
Facing Victor's demand, Felicia seemed hesitant, wanting to speak but holding back.
The 108th floor was a vital floor for Osborn, housing server clusters in all rooms except the Chairman's office, forming the core of the entire Osborn Tower.
The 107th floor, on the other hand, housed the private offices of various directors, the personal domain of that small group of people who held power in Oscorp Industries.
Victor's single sentence would drive all these directors out, which was a bit too...
Ultimately, Felicia chose to remain silent, noting down Victor's exact words.
After indicating that her report was complete, she quietly withdrew.
From her observations these past few days, Victor didn't seem like the kind of hothead who would casually offend people.
She simply needed to do her job well; too many words would lead to trouble.
As soon as Felicia left, Pietro entered almost seamlessly.
It's nighttime now, so you can't go out and bask in the moonlight, can you? This is totally fine!
Victor had a bit of a headache.
Pietro was simply too "clingy," always looking for him to chat, whether he was busy or not.
Now, they had absolutely no common topics left to discuss; everything that could be talked about had pretty much been covered these past few days.
But he couldn't "neglect" him, after all, he was Wanda's brother.
Although, according to Victor's arrangements, Pietro would certainly not undergo Baron Strucker's experimental modifications for HYDRA, and thus would not Awaken his abilities, destined to be an ordinary person in the future.
But, in Victor's plan, Wanda had a way to Awaken her Chaos Magic—after all, it was a powerful force capable of destroying the Infinity Stones, surely very valuable.
Just as he was pondering how to deal with Pietro, Pietro offered a suggestion.
"Hey, buddy, do you play DOTA? My sister seems quite bored playing games alone recently.
Why don't you two play together?"
Hmm?
It must be said, Victor was very tempted by Pietro's suggestion.
It was much better than making awkward small talk with this rough man!
He immediately nodded in agreement, instructing the servants to clear out a reception room and set up two computers, serving as a temporary gaming room.
Once everything was set up, Pietro also pulled Wanda in, then left his sister alone and slipped away, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
He really sold her out completely.
The meaning behind this was just too obvious.
Wanda didn't say anything, just stood at the door with her head down, looking completely at a loss.
It made Victor almost think he was a tyrannical village bully who harassed men and women.
It's just playing a game!
And your brother invited me!
He rubbed his forehead with one hand and said helplessly: "How about you go to your room to play?
You don't necessarily have to sit together."
The words had just fallen.
Wanda took a deep breath, gathered her courage and her full chest, and took small steps to sit beside Victor, her eyes fixed on the computer screen, not looking away.
Alright.
After all, she was young, so shyness was normal.
When the game truly began, Victor knew he was wrong.
Terribly wrong!
Wanda in game mode was not the same person as her usual self.
She wasn't a chatterbox like some "e-sports talker."
But her frantic operations were fierce like a tiger, her hand speed so fast it was unbelievable.
Victor estimated that if he were to go up against her, he probably wouldn't last a minute.
It was just too damn fast!
When they reached the Late Stage.
Wanda controlled Faceless Void, chasing down opponents across the entire map.
Her passive "Time Lock"'s 25% stun chance seemed to double in her hands, stuning him at least 3 out of 5 hits.
She was incredibly aggressive!
After the game, the young girl, however, buried her head like an ostrich, as if she were shy.
But in the second round, her teammates went into full feeding mode, and by over 30 minutes, all three lanes were broken, and her teammates had gone AFK.
This game was basically unwinnable.
But Wanda refused to give up!
Controlling Medusa, with her back against the World Tree, she single-handedly defended against the mega creeps on all three lanes, and with Victor's Spectre, they 2v5'd the opponents, wiping them out three times in a row.
Finally, she even 1v5'd on the opponent's high ground.
Victor was a bit dumbfounded watching this.
You know, in the team he formed in his previous life, he also earned his substitute position with skill, and his technique was definitely first-rate.
How did it feel like Wanda was carrying him?
No way!
As a man, how could he be carried by a girl?!
Victor was also a very competitive person.
Next, the two began to compete, their playstyle becoming more aggressive with each game.
In the most exaggerated game, after 35 minutes, the kill count was 104:7.
Victor and Wanda "camped at the fountain," and opposing heroes couldn't stand up for more than 3 seconds.
With a string of victories, their records were evenly matched, and before they knew it, it was already early morning the next day.
Comparing their records again, it was 24:21, with Wanda winning by 3 games.
If it weren't for the young girl yawning repeatedly, truly exhausted, Victor would not have given up so easily.
Hmph!
If you weren't younger, with faster reactions and hand speed, who would win and who would lose would still be uncertain!
After having breakfast prepared by the private chef, who was finally back on duty, Wanda went back to her room to catch up on sleep.
Victor also lay on a beach chair, lazily but not immediately falling asleep.
He opened the "league of legends Plane" store and sure enough, he found the "league of legends Game Source Data Pack" product, valued at [F-grade Voucher × 1, plane points × 1].
In addition to 159 full heroes, it also came with various flashy auxiliary functions.
And this was only barely enough to qualify for the product's rating, stored in a high-tech storage device similar to a nano-earphone.
He bought it without hesitation and immediately handed it to Alice to organize.
Hmph hmph.
You think I can't play DOTA, huh? Just you wait, little Wanda!
When I create "league of legends," we'll have another match.
Could I possibly lose to you again?
In his dream, Victor controlled Yasuo, slaying all in his path, making Wanda sing an English version of "Conquer" in admiration.
That was truly a moment of triumph!
