“While this personal armor is impressive, it requires full integration with the human nervous system to operate. It doesn’t seem practical for you, Master, especially since you already have a protective suit,” Olivia Thatcher explained to Finn Lewis. “In particular, the protective suit is currently more useful to you than this personal armor – it has sufficient protective capabilities, and it’s convenient, which this personal armor isn’t since you currently lack a suitable storage option.”

Finn pondered over this. Indeed, the functions offered by his protective suit were already ample for his needs. While the personal armor offered greater protection, it wasn’t nearly as convenient. Unlike the Little Wildcat Protective Suit, which he could use at any time, and which allowed him to change his outward appearance.

Additionally, the suit had the ability to achieve optical and radar invisibility, plus a feature to manipulate light refraction. This could alter Finn’s appearance when he needed to go unnoticed. Although the changes wouldn’t be drastic, the human face only has so many features, and slight alterations could make one person look entirely different.

“So, what should I exchange then?” Finn asked curiously.

“This.” Olivia immediately pulled up a fighter jet for Finn. Upon seeing the fighter jet’s design, Finn knew this blitzing device was going to be awe-inspiring. The jet’s overall design was symmetric, but it had a swept-forward design on the nose, and two engines in the rear that emitted a ghostly blue glow, unlike other fighter jets where the engines flare with a blue light after throttling up.

The jet’s blue was authentic, and the materials thrust out from within also had a spectral-blue hue that made it look extraordinarily cool.

“It’s best if you exchange for this fighter, Master. It’s a bargain at a mere 25,000 points and most suitable for you, especially in conjunction with your protective suit. The jet’s form can be manipulated to a certain extent and it can be stored in the cargo hold of your private plane,” Olivia said quickly.

“Plus, with your Little Wildcat Protective Suit you can handle the jet’s total overload. This is the perfect match for you, Master.” Olivia continued in haste.

“Alright, let’s go with this one.” Since Olivia said this was better than the personal mechanized armor, he went with it. While Finn figured the personal mechanized armor could work out too, given its small size – this jet would be more convenient compared to the painful process of putting the armor suit on and integrating it with his nervous system.

“However, there’s a problem. If full-weaponization is applied, it will probably cost us around 68,000 points,” Olivia spoke briskly.

“No way!” Finn was dumbfounded. Hadn’t they just mentioned that the fighter jet’s exchange price was 25,000 points?

“The cost of exchanging the fighter jet is indeed 25,000 points, but the inclusion of missiles and the fuel for the power system also costs…

“Can we get everything and sneak it all onto our private plane?” Finn’s A380, while it looked ordinary, was already updated and he was not worried about storage constraints.

“No issues there. North Federation’s airport is much more lax than our domestic ones, and plus, nobody would know what it is when it’s not in combat state. Don’t worry, Master. Also, another matter you need to prepare for is a trip to XX in about six days. We’ll have two days to complete the task,” Olivia advised quickly.

Finn rubbed his hands together and replied, “No problem. Let’s schedule it for six days from now. We’ll visit Southern Federation then, and take over a company there.”

“No problem, I am drafting the plan now,” said Olivia quickly.

The affairs of the North Federation had almost been wrapped up. At Activision Blizzard, with Finn raising salaries by 50%, there had been no negative fallout. Everyone was eagerly waiting for their new boss’s next pay raise. Activision Blizzard’s next plan was to operate the “World” edition for the West.

As New World hasn’t started its publicity campaign yet, Finn didn’t have to hurry. He simply forwarded them the relevant materials for Activision Blizzard’s studios to begin brainstorming promotional strategies.

The moment Finn returned to the country, he received a call from Matthew Chan, “You rang?” Finn found it strange to receive a call from Matthew. Surely there was no problem with oil futures.

“Uh… Mr. Lewis, he told me to pass along his gratitude for your gift,” Matthew said in a quiet voice.

“Gift?” Finn was baffled.

“You know, the car,” Matthew added. Finn then understood, yet… he was a bit confused. He had reached such a height, to receive gratitude from higher-ups?

“What gift are you talking about?” Finn asked curiously.

“The oil futures from the bank. He closed the position cleanly at $72 per barrel,” Matthew explained. Futures trading isn’t about holding a short position for as long as you want, because it’s contractual trading between parties. When your short position, the seller’s side, is in a transaction with your counterpart buyer, if either party closes out, demanding a deal, the contract terminates automatically.
