Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 85  Uninvited Guests

Silas has already prepared a list of companies he wants to invest in. But before he starts investing into this companies, Silas plans to first invest into cryptocurrencies, so that he quickly raise funds.

Unlike stocks, cryptocurrency is the least regulated financial sector due to its decentralized nature and massive global scale, thereby making it hard for a single country to implement any comprehensive regulation on it.

Due to its loose regulations, the cryptocurrency market is extremely volatile and filled with high risks. It also easier for things like fraud, market manipulation and security breaches.

Silas isn't actually new to crypto as he has dabbled in it for a little in the past during the it boom period, but he unfortunately lost all of his hard earned money.

He will admit, the Silas of the past was very stupid. Like how will someone invest into something he doesn't understand? If that's not stupidity, then he doesn't know what is.

The funniest thing about the situation was that he went into it expecting to make 100x return on his investment!

Even though there has been stories that went from $1000 to $1 million, it was very stupid and unrealistic of him to do something like that.

Silas couldn't help but shake his head when he remembered this. He felt extremely grateful to the system because he knew that if it wasn't for it, he would still be slaving away at the casino house or unrealistically looking for high paying jobs for someone with an high school graduate certification.

Back to the present, Silas opened the webpage of the biggest crypto exchange (CEX), Binance, and registered an account.

After he was done and verified, he funded his account and started investing.

Silas saw the price of the most popular crypto, Bitcoin, and clicked his tongue.

"$66k? I remember it hitting $65k in 2021. I thought the price would have increased would be around $70k and closing in on $100k, especially with the recent halving that happened a week ago," Silas said to himself as he shook his head in disappointment.

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway. All I need is the cash reward from the rebate rewards," Silas said and placed his purchase, as he bought 14,000 BTC for a total price of $924 million.

After the purchase, his Binance account was empty of fiat but now held $924 million worth of BTC.

Silas didn't bother to pay any attention to his CEX account as he told LUNAR to take over, and continue investing in cryptos of her choice.

"LUNAR, also invest in the companies on that list. If there's any small company with potential, you can buy them out," Silas said, heading to the kitchen to get something to eat.

He was still in the kitchen when a loud banging knock came from the door.

"Who the fuck is trying to bring down the door?!," Silas exclaimed in exasperation, leaving the kitchen to check.

Before he could get to the door, he heard the sound of glass shattering, coming from the back.

{Master, I detected four heat signatures at the door, and five more at different locations around the house,} LUNAR said, as she stood up from her seat and walked towards Silas.

Silas gave a knowing smile when he heard this.

"About damn time. A total of nine heat signatures, huh? Hopefully, they are durable. Time to see the MAU in action," Silas said with a smirk.

It has already been more than two hours since his encounter with Daniel, and had been expecting his future 'uninvited visitors'.

"LUNAR, take care of them but make sure they are still breathing at the end. It's too soon to start getting blood on our hands," Silas said and took his seat.

He decided to let LUNAR take care of the rats that broke into the house and those standing at the door.

LUNAR was about to move towards the door when a loud bang was heard, and the door fell off its hinges.

'I will definitely be collecting more in interest for the damages caused,' Silas said to himself, internally with a smile.

After the door fell, a group of four burly men holding various weapons, from baseball bats to a pocket knife, forced their way into the house

Almost simultaneously, more sounds of glass shattering were heard around the house, followed by loud scuffling sounds.

Silas could only shake his head at the commotion. He was very calm even though he knew that the group were here for him.

He knew he has the right to, as the group to him, wma nothing more than ants trying to move a mountain.

"LUNAR, leave them at the point of death," Silas said with a smile, and LUNAR nodded, indicating she understood.

Immediately after forcing their way in, the group's eyes fell on LUNAR and they momentarily paused in shock and surprise, at her beauty.

Unfortunately for them, that small momentary lapse was all she needed. In a blur, she instantly appeared in front of one of them and struck him squarely in the solar plexus.

"Keurghh!"

A sound filled with pain escaped the victim's mouth, followed by a thud as he collapsed to the floor.

Seeing their colleague collapse to the floor after receiving a punch from a beauty, was enough to snap them back to reality.

"Fuck! How did she do that?!" one shouted in shock.

"Shut the fuck up and get that bitch!" another yelled, throwing a punch at LUNAR.

Seeing the incoming attack, LUNAR didn't bother to dodge the attack, as she caught his hand and punched him squarely in the face, knocking him out.

The remaining two, like moths drawn to a flame didn't pay attention to their fallen colleagues as they continued their charge towards her.

LUNAR looked at the two men charging towards her and disappeared from her position. The next moment, she appeared behind the two of them and delivered a precise chop to their neck, knocking them out cold.

After dealing with the group of four men that broke in through the door, LUNAR disappeared from her position. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

What followed were continuous screams from different voices, coming from different locations in the house.

Less than a minute later, LUNAR appeared, carrying five men on her two shoulders like sacks of potato.

She walked to where the first group were sleeping soundly, and dropped the five of them, to join their colleagues in having a refreshing sleep.

The entire fiasco, from when the group broke in till when they put to sleep, took less than five minutes.

Silas shook his head when he saw this.

"That's it? All they took was just a punch? Tsk. Weak!"

Silas had mixed feelings. He felt disappointment at the lack of challenge and satisfaction at the MAU's abilities.

He was hoping to see more of the MAU's abilities but his uninvited guests were not as durable as he was expecting them to be.

"Let's put that aside. It's time to collect interest," Silas said with a smile.

"LUNAR, kindly put a call through to Mr Lucas."
