[Ding! Do you want to sign in?]
While seated at the table having breakfast with Ivy, the system which hadn’t appeared in a while sounded in her mind.
Her lips curled upwards as she scooped a spoon of chicken porridge and responded inwardly, ’Sign in!’ anticipating this time’s reward.
[Ding! You have been rewarded with an estate in Country G. You can check on the asset for more details.]
Diamond’s spoon hovered near her mouth when she heard about the reward. She was now getting rewards from out of the country. What kind of wonderful magic was this?
Diamond’s eyes sparkled with great interest. Feeling very blessed, she couldn’t help but shove the spoon into her mouth before eating the remaining breakfast with gusto. It was finished so quickly.
After the meal, Diamond didn’t have the luxury to take her time and check the reward in private, so she decided to do so in the car.
This morning, Diamond was going for an appointment with Tiana, a not-so-close friend of hers since they barely interact even on the phone. But Tiana belonged to one of the six big families and was the CEO and founder of PACE sportswear she dearly loved.
She didn’t know what the other wanted from her suddenly but since money could be made, she decided to have a look.
Ivy was going out with her this time and she was the one driving while being assisted by Andrea.
Seeing her driving, Diamond was reminded that Ivy hadn’t actually left the villa since her arrival. Ivy needed to buy her own car for use. She couldn’t really give Ivy one of hers. Each of her cars was very precious, and she bought them with so much love. How could she spare them?
Ivy could borrow them now and then, but permanent use was not allowed.
On this day, Diamond picked the Khaleesi sedan she hadn’t driven yet. The number plates were now fitted, and the car was suitable for the road.
Diamond sat in the backseat with the tablet in hand while looking at the estate she had been given, enjoying the luxurious comfort of the Khaleesi. The car was very stable, and the seats felt very awesome to sit on. That was the greatest motivation she had when she picked this car, plus the RV she planned to use during the concert.
Anyway, returning to the matter of the estate. Diamond was surprised to know that it wasn’t the usual estate she thought she was going to see.
She expected to see some huge mansion, horse stables, a golf course and the like. But to her surprise, it was different. In her own words, Diamond could proudly say that it was a huge farm.
So large that her two farms combined couldn’t match it.
As she looked at the pictures of the estate, the smile on her face never faded.
There was a house, a villa to be exact, and it didn’t look as modern as she expected, but it was there. If sold in the market, it should cost millions.
On this estate, there were several orchards and a variety of fruit trees which made her eyes lit up.
With the beverage factory, she was in the middle of purchasing. These fruits would come in handy and would provide a cover when she takes out the fruits from her space as well.
Country G was known for plantain. She saw a lot of banana trees there. Another delicacy that couldn’t be missed.
She also spotted a lot of palm trees. The kind that produced palms which can be processed further into oil. She had never used or eaten palm oil before, but she was confident that it was something that she was going to like.
She would give it a try and see how it goes.
There was also a piece of land used to grow yams and other root crops. She didn’t know if that was for personal consumption or for sale. But she could see that the piece of land was smaller compared to the others she had previously seen.
Lastly, there was a fishery. She didn’t know if they were still rearing fish there, but the fish was good and she liked it.
In other words, looking at the estate, Diamond could see money shining in her eyes and this asset could be said the second money making asset the system had given her. The kind she only needed to give a little effort before getting results.
Satisfied with the reward, she sent an email to the person currently in charge and instructed him to send her all the relevant documents and reports related to the estate. She was curious to see how much she had to do before she could enjoy the fruits of the pervious owner’s labor.
After finishing with that, Diamond enjoyed the rest of the trip comfortably.

Meanwhile, at the PACE sportswear offices, Tiana was sitting inside her office with her assistant plus four other people, seriously discussing a matter.
"Do you think that she will agree to the deal?"
"She is very easy to talk to. As long as we show how serious we are about the matter. I don’t doubt that she will not work with us."
Tiana looked at the four and pondered for a bit before nodding. It wouldn’t hurt if she took them, anyway. f|re(e)web.n\ovel. (c)o.m
