Chapter 146: Discovery of the new function of the ‘Trillion Subsidies’ app
Time passed.
A night elapsed.
The next morning, Bright was rudely awakened by a phone call.
Upon looking at the screen, it was an unexpected call from the Cartmel Sports Center.
When he answered the phone, he heard the voice of the general manager, Kelvin Lewis.
"Mr. John." Kelvin greeted.
Upon hearing Kelvin's voice, Bright replied in an indifferent tone, "I will give you half a minute to explain why you are calling me this early."
The moment Kelvin heard Bright's cold voice, he immediately sucked in a cold breath and involuntarily gulped.
Hastily, he explained, "This is what happened, Mr. John. You asked me to look into something a while ago, and we have completed a thorough investigation!
Over the years, Thomos is suspected of embezzling 3.78 million dollars and misappropriating 2.11 million dollars in public funds. He has also done many things such as violation of reimbursement of expenses, bribery, and the like.
More importantly, he has hired more than ten of his relatives for various positions within the company." Kelvin concluded.
After Kelvin was done, Bright narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't expect that Thomos, a mere deputy manager, could actually embezzle such a large amount of money.
"Hmph! Is that so? Has all the evidence been collected?" He asked.
"Yes, it has." Kelvin quickly replied.
Bright calmly nodded his head before saying, "If that's the case, submit all the evidence to the authorities. Let's solve this in court!"
"Okay!" Kelvin replied.
At that moment, Kelvin felt relieved. He let out a sigh.
"In that case, I won't disturb you any further, Mr. John."
After finishing his statement, the call ended.
At that moment, Bright was leaning on the head of his bed.
He nonchalantly opened the 'Trillion Subsidies' app.
After all, he had been woken up by the disturbance. Clearly, he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep even if he tried to.
He might as well check out what new items had been added on the app.
After opening the 'Trillion Subsidies' app, he saw that it said:
(Full ownership of Devie's Restaurant:$88.8)
He stared at the price and details.
Bright was a bit taken aback.
Then, he began to feel somewhat bewildered.
Devie's Restaurant?
This was a Michelin star, top notch restaurant in Cartmel.
The taste of the food, as well as the decor and style of the restaurant were all of the highest class.
However, when it came to price, it was not something the average person could afford.
A meal could cost around five to six thousand each at the very least.
"Full ownership of Devie's Restaurant?"
Bright pinched his chin, and after much pondering, he decided to purchase the restaurant's shares.
The pop-up read: (Purchase successful! Products are in transit)
(Estimated delivery time: 30 minutes. Please wait for your products to arrive.)
Looking at the notice, Bright nodded.
Then, he began to get out of bed.
He walked down to the first floor.
Just as he sat down next to the table, he suddenly recalled that he didn't bring his phone down after freshening up in the morning.
Just when Bright was about to go upstairs to get his phone, he felt a sudden weight in his pocket.
He touched his pocket, and the expression on Bright's face grew more intrigued.
That was because his phone had suddenly appeared in his pocket.
"Could it be that…"
At that moment, a faint notion began to form in the depths of Bright's heart.
"Could it be that my phone appears next to me automatically at all times?"
With that speculation, Bright's expression became even more cryptic.
"Can it not get lost? In that case, is it also indestructible?" He wondered.
That thought lurked in the back of his mind.
Bright then turned around and entered the kitchen.
At that moment, a few servants were preparing breakfast there.
"Boss."
"Good morning, Boss."
"Yes! Good morning." Bright nodded to them.
Then, he took out a fruit knife.
Without any delay, he left the kitchen.
After arriving in the study on the first floor, he took a deep breath and carefully sliced across the back of his phone.
After all, he had no idea whether it would actually get damaged or not.
The back of the mobile phone, which was made of tempered glass, could indeed be damaged.
That being the case, slicing it like that would leave a few scratches at the most.
As the fruit knife sliced across the phone, the results was that…
There were no traces at all on the back of his phone.
"Gasp!"
Instantly, Bright inhaled a sharp breath of cold air.
Then, the strength in his hand gradually increased.
Even if Bright used all his strength, he couldn't even leave a scratch, much less damage the phone.
"Just as I thought!"
Bright looked at the phone in front of him.
A smile immediately appeared on his face. His phone truly did possess invincibility.
At that moment, Bright was in a particularly good mood.
Bright's eyes sparkled as he muttered to himself, "Is it because of the 'Trillion Subsidies' app?"
Before Bright could think any further, Elaine knocked on the door of the study.
He left the study and went downstairs to have breakfast.
After breakfast, the shares of the famous Devie's Restaurant that Bright bought on the 'Trillion Subsidies' app were officially delivered.
After inspecting the shares, Bright nodded and put them into his safe.
He recalled, "Oh, right! Kelvin called me this morning, perfect timing, since I'm free today, I will go and see him soon."
With that thought in mind, he grabbed the keys to the Pagani and headed straight to the Cartmel Sports Center.
On his way there, he happened to see Gracie, who was buying breakfast by the roadside.
Without a second thought, he picked up Gracie on his way.
The two of them made their way to the Cartmel Sports Center together.
...….
Meanwhile, behind the Cartmel Sports Center, there were a few supercars parked at the entrance of the newly constructed racetrack.
Fred Cunningham, who was in his lead, had his eyebrows furrowed right then.
His expression seemed somewhat unhappy.
A young man standing beside him spoke up. "What's going on here, Fred? Didn't you say you reserved this racetrack before we got here?"
"Exactly! What's going on here? I was going to get my car serviced today, but since you told me that you got a spot in the newly built racetrack at the Cartmel Sports Center, I canceled the appointment and drove here, ready to take a few laps."
The rich kids nearby complained, their faces full of discontent.
