Chapter 112: Chapter 112 - Everything
Delmar wasn\'t laughing at what he said too as he could feel the seriousness of the matter but he didn\'t know what to say to that matter as well.
"... What do you mean by everything?"
"I mean the chocolate factories, the whore house, the phone companies, the houses, apartments, buildings, schools, colleges, food stands, hospitals EVERYTHING. I want you to buy everything that is available in this world and leave nothing behind for anyone."
Delmar started to process what he said before he could point out some things.
"Do you even know how much money you would need to have to buy so many things?"
"Infinite"
William said like he had already prepared for something like that.
Delmar couldn\'t refute him as what he said was hypothetically true as there was no definite amount to how much everything in this world cost. But it was still ridiculous to say that word but not have any hesitation about it.
"And… Knowing that, why are you still thinking of buying everything? Don\'t tell me you\'re actually a member of some cult now, right?"
William dismissed what he said at last and said what he wanted.
"You don\'t have to worry about buying money, I\'ll give it to you and you just have to buy everything that you can… at first." William explained while saying the last words in a different meaning.
Delmar was smart enough to realize what those hidden meanings were but he didn\'t comment on it as he gave more reasons to defy the crazy notion that William had coughed up a moment ago.
"Okay for the time being why don\'t we forget about that fact and think that you indeed have a source that can give you infinite amounts of money."
\'Indeed I have something like that.\' William said in his mind but not made any indication of it outside on his face.
"So we buy things, we buy and we buy until one day comes when the authorities will start to question why a small timer like us with no background or anything solid is buying so many things and why do we have so much money?"
"Where did we get so much money? Why are we buying so many things?"
"What is the reason behind it… and wanting to buy everything is not a real reason so what are we gonna do then?"
"Yes, I figured that you would do that so I thought of starting small."
"What do you mean by small?"
"I mean buying grocery stores, shoe shops, clothes, designer watches and anything that would fit those categories." William explained to the patient man before him.
"Alright we start to buy small stuff until we get so many of them that people start to recognize us, what will we do then?"
"That\'s what I want too. I want people to recognize us and let us have some popularity and in time that popularity will help us get through many things."
"And how do we get this popularity that you speak of? We won\'t get good popularity at first, what we\'ll get is only bad one that says that we are a group of people who just spend money on everything." Delmar reasoned with another factor.
"Yes, you\'re right about that and for that we will need to get connections with the populace and mostly the ones who are in business."
"Forget about the populace, how are we going to get connected with the people in the business world?"
"Dude you\'re from the underworld, you should know this stuff. Just bribe them with money or anything that could be bought with money." William said to delmar as started to have doubts about whether the man in front of him actually knew about this stuff or not.
"Just because I am from the underworld or because I do stuff that is illegal doesn\'t mean I know how to buy and bribe every fricken rich bast*rds out there. But I at least know people who do know how to do that." Delmar said as he thought about it for a bit.
"There you go, see what did I told you, we can do this." William tried to encourage the overly confused bald man who tried to scratch his head where there were no hairs.
"Okay what about… Hey! Don\'t give faces like that! I am only asking because I am thinking about this for the long haul. Isn\'t that why you hired me for this job." Delmar said to William who had an annoyed face as he listened to all the excessive but needed questions from him and couldn\'t take it anymore.
"First of all, I didn\'t get you to be my human resources employee but quite the contrary to that. But since you are technically right about asking so many questions, why don\'t you continue again."
Getting the small victory over this non valuable argument, Delmar continued again.
"Okay, then when we get access to the top of the cream in the business world, what will we do if the police start to feel us out?"
"And don\'t say that we should bribe the cops. That doesn\'t work with everybody. Believe me when I say that there are still some honest morons out there that still actually think that being good will ultimately bring the best."
"...But doesn\'t being good ultimately bring the best?" WIlliam questioned as he was quite confused at the phrasing that Delmar said to him.
"Says the teenage brat that wants to buy everything even if that meant that he would have to buy corrupt people." Delmar said to him with no joke in his tone.
"Alright, point taken."
"And about that. Just buy out the ones that are useful and use them to get some leeway with most things."
"But the main problem still remains, what do we do about the honest ones?"
"Buy out their boss and use that person to get a leash over the honest ones… well at least that\'s what I think."
"But what if the boss was also an honest one?"Delmar didn\'t stop his endless questions.
"Then we make sure to somehow gently let that guy out of his position without making it too obvious that it was us who did it and when the time comes for the next boss to be chosen, we let our own guy have that chair." William explained as patiently he could like he was actually trying to teach a child.
Delmar thought for a long while before he said "Yes, that might work… Just might."
"If we do that but with even more caution and we change the plans a little here and there then it might work for us… at least until we are strong enough to have our own strength that will make them hinder us first before walking into us."
William smiled as he saw that the guy was actually doing some real thinking for once.
Delmar looked up from his knees as he said to him.
"So this is what you meant when you said you want to buy everything."
"How sure are you of going with that plan?"
"Until the very end." William said to Delmar with a flame in his eyes.
