Chapter 05 loan
Inside the principal's office, max was waiting for his paperwork.
Normally, the talent certificate will be handed in a few weeks, but max is unwilling to wait that long.
Three months ago, the simulator was turned on again.
Max's hands were already itchy, but because he had to save money at all costs to awaken his talent, he could not get a pet.
actually in the past years even his food was skimped on, so how can he not be in a hurry?
The principal wasn't sure why max was in such a hurry, but it doesn't matter.
For this S rank talent holder, the principal had all the patience in the world.
Even if this guy asked for his daughter, it can be discussed.
Jhon this is your papers. Keep them well. If you lose them, then just come to me to get a second copy.
One can only wonder what kind of expression he will have, knowing that Max plan to leave the school.
This is most probably the last time they will see each other.
Max nodded with a smile.
Picking up his paperwork, max nodded at the principal
Then I will take my leave, sir.
Go. Go. In God's care, my little friend.
.... Under the fiery gaze of the principal, Max escaped, feeling a chill at his back.
Fking creepy old man.
Max can understand the principal's feelings, but that kind of gaze isn't something you give to a genius under your care.
Out of the school, Max turned around, gave a middle finger to the building, then left.
...
In front of the center bank in the city, Max could feel his blood rushing to his brain out of excitement.
He really didn't have much feelings for money back on earth. After all, while money could do a lot of things, it was limited.
But in this world, with wealth and his simulator, he can achieve superpowers.
Walking to the desk front, max regarded the young woman behind the desk and spoke.
Hello miss, I applied for a loan online, and was told to come for an interview.
Your name, please.
Ma...! John Smith.
The receptionist, looking at the information, was surprised.
This guy applied just today, and was called for an interview on the same day?.
She couldn't check all of Max's information, so she was slightly perplexed.
Normally, this kind of treatment is only for big business owners, but this guy is too young. Any way she is just a receptionist, just follow orders.
The manager will see you in 15 minutes. Please take a seat.
Max just nodded and sat down, deep in thought.
I thought my talent is at least SS rank if it was, then I could've gotten over 20 million. If it was an SSS rank, then even 50 million isn't an issue.
Fk there must be something wrong with the way they assess talents.
He planned to get 2 pets as a start, but now he can only settle for one.
I wonder how much I can borrow .
....
Inside the manager's office.
The bank manager, Phillip, was hosting a red-haired young lady.
Lady Sofia, I am really curious about what brings you to glory city today. If it's just this business, a phone call would've been enough.
It's nothing, my brother is in the city so I came to see him, and since I am here, I thought I'd come say hi and finalize the business, by the way.
Ring. ring. Ring. The manager's phone rang at this moment.
Excuse me, lady Sofia.
Please go ahead.
....
Why did you call, huh? Yes, yes, just let him wait outside. First, I will meet him in a while.
Hang up.
You have another business manager, Phillip. Asked the young lady.
As the manager, he would not take care of business himself, unless it's from an important person like herself.
Well, I am quite surprised about this matter myself, a Junior with an S rank talent wants to take a loan. I thought I'd give it a shot and try to poach him to the group.
Sofia was surprised. An S rank isn't something you come across every day.
Even she, the most talented of the changshi business group, only had an. A-rank talent [ fire born].
Well, never mind me manager Phillip, just call him in. Plus, I would like to take a look at this genius.
Phillip just nodded. This young lady was technically his boss, since this bank was under the changshi group.
Although the group has multiple young masters and misses, miss Sofia is one of the most prominent geniuses in the group.
...
Outside.
Mister max the manager is ready to see you. Please go in.
Nodding, max opened the door, and walked inside.
This should be young friend John.
I am changing my name after this, thought max to himself while shaking hands with the manager.
Manager Phillip, I heard a lot about you. To be honest max never even knew that this guy existed before this morning, all he knows is that this guy is a little famous, but that didn't stop him from spouting nonsense, anyway it's just flattery if it helps him get one more credit, then it's worth it.
Ha. Haha. It's nothing, just a small reputation. It can't compare with young friend's future achievements.
Manager Phillip is too modest, and buy the way who is this did I come at a wrong time, I don't mind waiting if manager have other business.
Max was eloquent in his words. He didn't show impatience or arrogance because he got an S rank talent or something. This young lady is mis sofia, she heard about little friend's talent and wanted to meet you.
Max nodded at the lady cordially, then looked at Phillip.
Sofia smiled at him, then her smile froze for a moment. She was waiting for a handshake, but this guy ignored her after a nod ..
Manager about my loan, what do you think?
Straight up to the point, I like it.
Then I am going to be straightforward with you, young friend. The 10 million you asked for is impossible.
Max just nodded. He expected this much.
How much can you loan me then, manager?
Well, first let me ask, if you are interested in joining our business group, let me inform you that our treatment will definitely be higher than just 10 million.
Max just shook his head. I am sorry, but I have no plans to join any force for the time being. If I change my mind, I will definitely give you a call manager, Phillip.
Phillip looked deeply at max, then nodded.
The young lady on the side was just watching silently .
Alright young friend. Our best offer is 3 million with a 5-year term, and an overall 30 % interest.
Max was not surprised at the high interest, since money in this world can literally buy stuff like life span.
Although even if it's a 100% or a 300% he wouldn't care much, he never planned to repay, anyway.
In His mind he already had a plan. If he achieve some success, then he would just pay back honestly.
However, if he becomes a strong powerhouse, then completely forgot about it. They will never see that money again.
And if he becomes a super strong powerhouse, then forget about repayment. Max will be coming to Rob the house, or Rob the bank to be accurate.
Anyway, that's all for the future. For now, max showed a thoughtful expression. He couldn't give them the impression that he never planned to repay.
At this moment, miss Sofia suddenly spoke.
Well, how about I add 2 more million?
Max gave her a look.
Miss Sofia, can you elaborate?
I will add 2 million without interest, and you will own my family three favors.
Of course, I won't ask you to risk your life, just to do the best you can.
Max looked hesitant. Of course, in reality, he wanted to accept on the spot, promise now, then renege on it later.
Free money, baby.
Still, he had to show that he was considering this carefully.
Miss Sofia can I ask what kind of request is it.
Don't worry, I won't ask you to commit a crime or to go against your conscience.
Max no longer hesitated, and nodded solemnly.
I won't risk my life, but I will do my best to repay this
three favors, as long as the favor doesn't go against my conscience.
Sofia's face bloomed into a beautiful smile.
[ ding. the host was affected with an unknown mind technique]
[ ding. trainee protection protocol activated,]
Max's face didn't change. His years of dealing with gangsters,and politicians gave him the perfect poker-face.
Looking at Sofia's unchanged smile, she shouldn't of realized that her technique didn't work, it should be some contract type ability.
Thankfully, the simulator still has such a protection mechanism.
Max smiled back, alright can we finalize the paperwork?
Alright.
Sign here, here, and here. And this is your credit card with 5 million in it.
Max took the card and bid them two farewells.
....
Outside.
Max directly went to the closest coffee shop. He didn't drink an excellent coffee in a long time. Finally, my life as a poor bastard has come to an end.
Sipping the good coffee max couldn't help but Lament.
Man, this world is really not earth. If not for the simulator, he would've been forced to do that bit ch's bidding. Being cunning alone isn't enough in this world. From now on, I must be more careful.
Buy the way simulator what is this protection protocol, and what's its capabilities are .
[ soldiers can die, but can't be controlled by the enemy. protocol protection keeps the host's mind protected]
Huh. So if I was in physical danger?, is there is anything to protect me?
[ the pet simulator has no such capabilities, the Mind protection protocol is shared within all training units].
[soldier, please increase your ability to protect yourself]. Max selectively chose to ignore the simulator, referring to himself as a soldier, as he usually does.
In Max's mind, the civilization behind the simulator should be dead, otherwise how can they let such a treasure rotte in some ruin back on earth?
The simulator considered him a soldier. Max didn't plan to question that, at least not now, and not anytime soon.
