Chapter 53: Proposal



"Na me sir, sorry oo" David heard one of the boys say

"it's okay, I believe you all want to turn your life around, I have a proposal for you all. A job with a starting salary of 150,000 naira, if you are interested, call this number and you will be directed on what to do" David said as he handed over a piece of paper to them.

The main reason they became thugs was simply because of unemployment, if they had good jobs, would they have time to come here.

Now was their chance to redeem themselves and David believed they would take it. They didn't have much choice.

[I have found a suitable location however human presence is needed for the land to be bought] Nous suddenly said

"Call a suitable lawyer then, after that you can send in the builder bots" David replied

[As you wish]

"Eh?!" the group shouted surprised by what he said

"One hundred and... Fifty thousand" one of them shouted but stopped himself as he glanced around and whispered the last part.

"Of course, I am required to also tell you that it may be dangerous but don't worry it's legal" David said even if it may not matter much to these people anymore

Despite giving them the warning, they completely ignored it and David could see that their heads were already filled with fantasies of what they could do with said money.

"Ah don't worry sir, we will call the number sir" One of them said on behalf of the others

"That's good then, now I need to address these women"

David said as he went to the women who immediately gathered together. He gave them the same proposal however unlike the men, David didn't exactly plan to make them join his paramilitary.

He was simply planning on creating some sort of homeless shelter or something for them. Where they could stay and be safe.

"Nous, remind me to set up a cleaning agency as well, they may be able to do it" David said

[Should that be before or after you have introduced Nous industries or what]

"Clearly after, the Nous phones depend entirely on the quantum internet to work" David replied [As you wish]

Giving them my number, David packed his flasks... At least the ones that he could find and immediately got into the car.

"Ah sir, you're kind oo, somebody like me would have arrested them for attacking me" The driver said as soon as he got into the car

"That would only make them worse... Have you seen how prisons, even just seeing them alone is bad for your mental health, imagine staying there was more than a year, if you weren't a criminal going in, you will surely be one while coming out" David explained.

If he had called the police and had gone through all the bribes and procedures necessary, the boys would have spent at least 10 years in prison for attempted murder.

[Sir attempted murder is liable to life in prison which is about 20 years]

"Sorry 20 years in prison, do they look like people that will have a life when they come out"

"Wetin you talk make sense... Ehn sir about the..." the driver said finding it awkward to ask about the dent but David just smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll pay you for it" David said

It was the man's business and also only he knew what he went through to get the car. Which meant that even without his business, he was attached to his car like he was to his own.

With that said, the driver immediately started the car and drove off towards the mountain again. He had successful disposed off the food without Fadila seeing it and at the same time, The managed to gather employees for two extra businesses.

Meanwhile Fadila could be seen on her phone as bored as the day before. Due to the uniqueness of the entire interview, all she was required to do was give the standard explanation at the beginning and ensure they all signed the document

After that, she just had to be awake to acknowledge their exit. That was all, it was the most chill interview ever but at the same time it was also the most nerve wrecking experience the people ever had.

However things were progressing well on her side and the number of applicants were reducing at a steady pace and it was looking like she would go home early today.

Somewhere in Abuja, a large expense of untouched land could be seen. The grass grew

uncontrolled until it matched the average man in height and even surpassed that.

Standing by the roadside just outside this bush, a group of people could be seen standing and discussing.

"Okay, in total, all is about twelve hectares" One of them said

"That matches what you measured right?"

"Yes sir"

"Then we will sign everything tomorrow with my client, I just needed to ensure that everything was well" the man said to them

"Okay then" they all said agreeing before they soon went their separate ways.

"Omo person just wake up, spend two hundred million naira" The lawyer thought as he got into his car and drove off.

As a lawyer, it wasn't much of his business as to why the client wanted the land however it was still odd that it was not yet even afternoon and he already met someone who spent more than a hundred million naira.

It was not rare in this line of work but it was still odd considering how early and quickly all this was happening.

While the lawyer went back to finish all the required documents and papers, David was finally back at home.

"Give me you account number" David said as soon as he stepped out of the car

"Okay say it's 2249...." The man said as he began calling out his account number

With all required information correctly put in, David immediately transfered the required amount to not only pay for the man's services but also to compensate for the dent he had created in the man's car
