Building The Strongest Family-Chapter 23: System Mall

The weight of responsibility settled over Julian and the others like a heavy blanket; they realized that if they didn't develop their companies effectively, failure would lead to penalties, a thought none of them relished.

"Osborn Holdings will also serve as a cash reserve," Arthur continued. "If anyone needs funds or finds themselves short on resources when their company is struggling, you can apply for assistance from Osborn Holdings."

Emily raised her hand thoughtfully. "Arthur, since you're assigning tasks here today, what about the other family members?"

"Of course! Those interested in business will take on roles as CEOs within our various subsidiaries," Arthur explained confidently. "Veterans in management can jump right in; those who lack experience can learn from you all for three months before being evaluated for positions."

"What about those who want to start their own businesses?" Julian interjected after considering this new structure.

"They'll receive 10 million from Osborn Holdings," Arthur replied matter of factly. "However, if they fail in business... punishment will follow."

He paused dramatically before adding, "In fact, any younger generation member wishing to start a business will receive the same amount, because as long as you're an Osborn, you must contribute!"

Nathaniel chimed in next: "And what about those interested in politics?"

"Simple! They can pursue careers as lawyers or judges or seek political positions such as mayor or minister, as long as it benefits the family," Arthur stated decisively.

Nods of understanding rippled through the room as everyone absorbed his words.

"Any other questions?" Arthur asked, scanning the room.

The family members exchanged glances and shook their heads, signaling they had nothing more to add.

"Good," Arthur nodded, turning his attention to his first aunt, Margaret. "Aunt, I'll be transferring $200 million to you shortly. This will serve as the foundational funds for everyone to kickstart their respective companies. While this amount might not cover everything, I'll be sending another sum in a few days."

"Okay," Margaret replied with a warm smile.

"Alright everyone," Arthur declared with a serious expression, "this marks the end of the 21st Osborn Family Meeting. You're all dismissed."

Julian and the others quickly rose from their seats, bowing slightly to the portraits of past family leaders before offering a respectful nod to Arthur as they exited the conference room.

Moments later, only Arthur remained, lost in deep thought amidst the echoes of familial legacy.

Suddenly, a familiar voice broke through his reverie:

[Congratulations Host for completing mission number 1].

[Congratulations Host system have met conditions to upgrade ].

[ Congratulations Host the family have been upgraded ]

[ Congratulations Host you receive : 200 Million Unicreds for family development, a 100 bodyguards of various levels ]

[ Congratulations Host you have received: 1 Billion Unicreds for family development, 10 attributes points ]

[ System have finished upgrading ]

Suddenly the long lost system voice sounded in Arthur's mind waking him up from his deep thoughts.

As dense blue holographic notifications popped out infront of him.

Arthur was suddenly overwhelmed by a flurry of dense system notifications popping up in front of him.

But as he quickly processed the information, a broad smile spread across his face.

"Finally!" he exclaimed, excitement bubbling within him as he opened the system panel to check his status.

Moments later, he noticed some impressive changes on the status panel.

First off, his family level had soared from Level 1: Founding Family to Level 2: Century-Old Family!

Even more thrilling was the appearance of a new tab labeled "Family Assets and Properties," revealing that the Osborn Family now assets worth an astonishing 200 million Unicreds.

And then came what Arthur had been eagerly anticipating, the unlocking of the system mall! A smirk crept across his face as he realized it was finally accessible.

With eager anticipation, Arthur clicked on the system mall tab, and a vibrant new screen materialized before him.

"Damm system you really did good, you did good " Arthur simply gave thumps up to the system .

Arthur continue to scroll down the system mall, the more he scroll down and looked at the system mall, the more excited he becomes.

What really made him really excited is the various black technologies in the mall, these technologies if taken out into the world right now can set off a storm.

"With this the Osborn Family will become the strongest family in the world in no time " Arthur muttered with a confident smile.
