Chapter 113
Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell
Just as Carlisle was about to start the meeting, a knocking sound came from the door.
The landlord, Jean Windoff, opened the door and looked at the smoky room with a frown. âCould you
kids. smoke less? People outside are about to call the fire department!â she scolded.
Carlisle chuckled nervously. âJean, youâre just in time. Come in. I need to talk to you.â
Francis couldnât help but admire Jeanâs slender figure as she walked in. When she glanced his way, he
blushed and looked away.
âWhatâs up?â Jean asked, fanning herself as she entered the room.
Carlisle explained, âYou still have a few vacant units, right? Iâm thinking of renting them all.â
Jeanâs eyes lit up with excitement as she sat down beside Carlisle. âAre you serious?â
Carlisle chuckled, shifting away slightly. âWhy would I lie?â
Jean was worried about not being able to rent out those three apartments, and Carlisleâs proposal
came as a relief. âBut the price stays the same, okay?â
Carlisle gave her a reassuring smile. âOf course, Iâll pay the original price.
âYouâre amazing, Carl! Iâll make sure to treat you well tonight,â Jean said, opening her arms wide for a
hug.
Carlisle quickly dodged to the side.
Francis smirked and said, âCarlisleâs still young. Come to me if you need anything!â
Jean glanced at Francis with disdain. âYou must be around 30 years old, right? I donât like older men!â
Francis was surprised that being 30 was considered old. He awkwardly responded, âIâve never had at
girlfriend!â
Jean scoffed, âDo you have a house, a car, or savings? Finding a girlfriend without those would be
tougher than an elephantâs hide!â
âJean, please leave. We have a meeting to attend,â Carlisle interrupted.
Jean pouted. âDo you think Iâd spill your business secrets?â Despite her words, she sashayed out of the
room.
Carlisle continued, âThis is our first meeting. Iâll keep it short since I have other matters to attend to.â
After a brief pause, he added, âCameron is an experienced player in The Mystical Journey. Heâs joining
Team Mystical to manage it. Hank, Iâd like you to assist Cameron in setting up Team Mysticalâs gold.
farming operations.â
Carlisle looked at Cameron and Hank
Cameron played The Mystical Journey to earn money for his sisterâs medical bills. When Carlisle
mentioned gold farming, Cameron Immediately grasped what he was implying.
Hank chuckled and took a sip of Chardonnay. âTeam Legendary hasnât even started making a profit.
Where would we get the money to set up another operation?â
Carlisle placed his backpack on the table and unzipped it, revealing 300 thousand dollars in
rs in cash.
The room fell silent immediately.
Sean stared at Carlisle in disbelief and blurted out, âCarl, did you rob a bank or something?â
Ignoring Seanâs comment, Carlisle continued, âTeam Legendary will get an additional six computers,
while Team Mystical will get ten extras.â
Carlisle took out 200 thousand dollars and placed it in front of Heath.
Heath was at a loss for words. He stuttered, âCarl⦠I⦠Youâ¦â
After all, they had only known each other for less than three days.
Despite this short time, Carlisle entrusted him with 200 thousand dollars, an amount that could cover
the
cost of a house.
âMy principle in hiring is trust. Since Iâm leading this venture to make money with you all, I wonât doubt
your abilities,â Carlisle said.
Carlisle then proceeded to assign new roles.
âDragonaire Studio will be divided into four departments: Team Legendary, Team Mystical, Team
Darklord, and Team Techno,â he announced.
âOwen will lead Team Legendary, with Benjamin serving as his deputy. Cameron will lead Team
Mystical. Heath will temporarily lead Team Darklord. Hank will be the head technician of Team Techno.
And Francis will be my personal driver.â
After Carlisle finished assigning all the roles, Sean cautiously asked, âWhat about me?â
Carlisle teased, âYouâre still in school. I wonât give you any duties to prevent you from getting
distracted.â
Sean immediately protested, âThat wonât do! If you donât give me something to do, I wonât even feel like
going to school!â
Carlisle brushed off his complaints and turned to Heath and the others, asking, âAny more questions?â
Hank inquired, âHow many people do we need for each department?â
After some thought, Carlisle replied, âOne person for every six computers. The new hires will receive a
monthly salary of 3000 dollars. Additionally, Team Techno needs to recruit more people.â
âWhy does Team Techno need so many people? I can handle it on my own!â Hank exclaimed, taking
another sip of Chardonnay.
âI have other plans in mind for you. For Team Techno, Iâm looking for top-tier talent like you who can
handle independent application development,â Carlisle clarified.
