Destroying My Own World

Chapter 15: The Richest Family.

"Their fame is really skyrocketing ever since they appeared on TV, huh?" James said as he stood next to Morris and Travis.

Everyone was gathered in the temporary White House and they were waiting to get a medal of honor from Richard for their achievement. None of them felt like they deserved it because they only did so little compared to Mykel and his team.

"We got our moments, and this time it's their turn, I guess?" Morris said as he fixed his glasses. "Although, I think this is just the beginning of their reign because what they have achieved is incomparable with ours. They still have a long way and their fame will keep raising as the time goes," Morris explained.

"I hate to agree, but if we want to stay relevant, we should keep a good relationship with them," Travis said with his arms crossed. "I know that I hate most of them, but that Mykel guy is really a good leader, too good to be true that it terrify me when they all listened to every word he said," Travis looked at Mykel and got a pin from Richard.

Mykel shook Richard's hand, and he could tell how happy Richard was. He listened to Richard's praises and how indebted he and the people of America were for what he did.

"There's something that I would like to discuss with you, Mister President. That's if you have time," Mykel said.

"We can talk after this. I'll send my secretary to pick you up later," Richard said and nodded his head in agreement.

Mykel nodded and left the stage with the others as the eyes were focusing on him. He looked at each one of them and tried to remember the faces of the important people. He walked down next to Lyneth and whispered to her about those people because he had a task for her to get more connection with those people.

After the ceremony was over, Russel approached Mykel and told him to meet with Richard in his office. Mykel left the afterparty and let the others enjoy the moment before they depart for Washington DC tomorrow.

Mykel entered the most secure place in the United States, and he entered the office which was the exact copy of the office in the real White House that he always saw on TV. He then sat down at Richard's desk as Richard was on the phone and talking with someone that appeared to be the King of the United Kingdom.

"I apologize for that. Let's get down to business," Richard said after he hung up the phone and cleared his throat.

"I should be the one to apologize to bother you, Mister President," Mykel smiled as he fixed his suit.

"Please, just call me Richard, Mister Mykel," Richard said as he laughed. "So, what do you need to discuss with me? Is this perhaps about your objective to get the capital city?" Richard asked as he fixed his seating.

"Yes, and I'm planning to go there tomorrow early in the morning. After what we saw back there in Montana,. That circle with symbols inside, that's something that we should be worried about, and I think it was a mistake to kill it," Mykel said and acted like he was worried about it.

Richard nodded his head in agreement as he rubbed his chin because even though he was no expert, he could tell that demons and circles with symbols were a bad sign.

"So, you're going to leave tomorrow? Do you want to go straight to Washington DC or are you going to travel by car?" Richard asked.

"We are going to travel by car. It's better this way because we want to raise our level as well. It's also good for those who want to move because we will clear the area for them," Mykel answered.

"I see, we can expand our territory that way," Richard nodded in agreement. "Oh, speaking of demons. I have something to tell you and to be exact, I need your approval on this," Richard said as he leaned forward and put his hands on the desk.

Mykel tilted his head and furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Richard with a curious look.

"The demons that you killed, we have collected at least fifty percent of it, and we can only pay you the same amount as how we usually bought from the four guilds. We have calculated that we can only pay you one billion dollars," Richard explained. "But, there's someone who's interested to buy them all, including the ones that haven't been extracted three times the original price," Richard continued.

"And who that might be?" Mykel asked.

"The Redshield family. You might know that name, they're the richest family on Earth," Richard said as he looked at Mykel with a serious look. "They want to buy all of them, but I said that it depends on you whether you want to sell it to them or not," Richard continued.

Mykel was surprised when he heard about the Redshield family, and not to mention that they were interested in them was really a good opportunity for him. The Redshield family was the richest family because they owned the bank, mines, media, energy, and other business that kept them richer.

The Redshield family could be the most mysterious and famous family that had existed on Earth. Their wealth couldn't be drained no matter how much money they spent, and the fact they were not really famous to ordinary people, was really suspicious. They were more like a cult rather than a normal family because almost all the strings of every business and event would somehow lead back to them.

"I don't mind selling those to them, but I want them to come in person to see me," Mykel said.

"That would be hard because they're currently in the United Kingdom," Richard

Richard didn't look okay about Mykel wanting to meet them in person. That alone was enough for Mykel to tell that there was something more about that family than it looked.

"Well, if they want to do business, it's better to meet me in person. I don't care if they paid ten times the prize if they don't see me in person," Mykel said.

"You don't want to mess with them, Mister Mykel. They're more powerful than you think. The King even has to show respect to them, and this comes from a man who has seen it with his own two eyes," Richard said and he sounded so serious. "I suggest you to not take it lightly," Richard warned.

"Well, let me be the one who worried about that, Mister Richard. Money isn't everything in this kind of world we are living right now, strength is," Mykel answered with a smile.

Richard looked at Mykel and there was something that made him different from James and the others. Mykel had the aura of an elite soldier who was addicted to adrenaline, or what the people called a war junkie. A man who would love to see the world burn to satisfy their urge or need, but at the same time, Richard thought that he needed someone like that.

"(A man that could change the world order, a man that can put our country to be the strongest country in the world)" Richard thought.

"I'll see what I can do," Richard said as he tried to see what kind of a reply Mykel would make.

"You're a man with ambition and an opportunist. I can see it in your eyes, and we have similar goals, so why don't we work together and see how far we can go?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised. "We can see the possibility from this, and I hope you're thinking the same as me," Mykel continued.

Richard stood up with a big smile on his face, and then he offered his hand for a handshake. Mykel immediately shook his hand and managed to get Richard in his pocket which was the best thing he could ever get at the moment.

"Once I took back Washington DC, let's talk business afterward. For now, make that Redshield family on hold, and show them who's the boss now," Mykel said with a smirk.

"That won't be a problem, Mister Mykel," Richard smiled and nodded his head with understanding.
