Chapter 124: Capital

22nd of April 2016,

Inside the highest floor of a high-rising building situated at the center of the newly rebuilt HQ, there stood Lorien next to the glass window as he observed everything below while reminiscing about the past few months.

"3 months have passed, and a lot has changed."

Looking back at this period of time, a lot of things happened, be it the organization completely transforming or Lorien improving his strength.

Starting with the organization, the first thing that Lorien ordered after being in control was understandably asking for an ID, Passport, and other legal documents.

This did indeed get some eyebrows raised but nobody really cared much about such things, and with the strength and authority of the organization, Lorien got what he wanted in a couple of days as someone delivered them to his desk.

Following that, Lorien did a complete overhaul as he reconstructed the HQ himself making it bigger, more modern, and much more imposing

'I may have picked a new hobby from the 'Highschool of the Dead' world, Should I start a youtube channel and call this real-life Minecraft?'

It's just that Lorien didn't stop there as he then also ordered the creation of branches all over the country to strengthen the organization's control, reach, and power.

But to do so, a lot of manpower is needed so he turned his attention to that as he began doing internal tests to evaluate, and better organize personnel, and to know their exact strength.

In doing so, some were demoted to lower ranks while others were promoted, moreover, Lorien also ordered the recruitment of new members which was the main reason for his actions in the first place.

Of course, not all recruits were innate curse technique users as only a few of them were while most were normal people with very high Cursed Energy levels and specific profiles.

After all, innate jujutsu sorcerers are very hard to find contrary to normal people where a lot of requirements can be set.

It's just that now, a new issue appeared and that is that all of this requires money which the organization doesn't actually have much of considering the state of the country it is located in.

So with that in mind, Lorien quickly took care of things himself as he first 'borrowed' money from offshore accounts using his ability to hack Into them.

'No security can stop me from forcefully changing a 0 into a 1 and a 1 into a 0!'

'The internet and electronics, in general, are really fragile...'

It's just that while he did this, Lorien also discovered that most banks actually had defenses and alarms set up to alert them of the intrusion of cursed energy.

Apparently, it seems that this was common practice as the sorcerers were much more integrated into normal society than Lorien previously anticipated.

Of course, that wasn't the only way of making money that Lorien had thought of as it is very short-sighted and is completely based on Lorien's power.

So not wanting to keep creating money himself, Lorien ordered the creation of a number of enterprises, some of which were of a relatively stable nature such as essential goods and food, while others were technology related.

There were a couple of issues he faced when he did so, especially from some old families and companies that had monopolies over the industry and wanted to forcefully keep the market to themselves, but they were quickly 'taken care of'.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

It's just that as of now, no profit was generated yet as most of those companies are still in the launch phase which requires money for R&D and doesn't yield much profit, for that he needs to wait a while longer for things to start rolling.

However, Lorein still has to admit that his [Clairvoyance] is very useful in business as there is basically no need for market research to determine product acceptability by potential customers.

All he needs to do is just look at all the possible outcomes and determine the 'best product' that'll yield the best results and order its creation.

All the R&D has basically gone into the creation of the product and not actual market research.

However, that is not something Lorien needs to care much for anymore as he placed people in charge of those companies, and all he needs to do now is just examine the results and take action accordingly.

Thankfully, the money siphoned by Lorien from those large number of offshore accounts is large enough to satisfy the needs of those companies, finance the building of new bases, employ more people, install more detection devices, and to also increase the wages of jujutsu sorcerers considering the nature and risk factor of their work which will increase their loyalty and motivation.

Just looking at this, one could tell how much money Lorien had actually 'borrowed' from those accounts, it's just that considering that most of it is money that was hidden away because of its dark origin, he didn't lose any moment of sleep because of it.

'Money laundering, Drug money, Tax evasion, and many others, I'll borrow them for a better cause!'

It's just that things didn't end here for the organization as after doing all of this and finally stabilizing it, Lorien immediately began his main plan which is Planting Trees!

Lorien has never forgotten his main objective for coming to this world, so now after creating a strong foundation, he immediately began work.

It's just that this time Lorien didn't stop at just ordering the sorcerers to plant those trees in all corners of the country and just sat and wait.

No, this time, he has a much bigger plan!

For this, he even created a new non-profit organization called 'Dream Project' that takes advantage of a global trend which is protecting the environment.

'Protect the planet! Plant Trees!'

And as one may expect, the company's mission is to reforest the planet, provide education, awareness, and engagement on the importance of trees in the ecosystem, and to inspire action.

Moreover, the moment this organization was created large financial support was immediately thrown at it by the other enterprises made by Lorien and partnerships were established.

Now after the launch of those products, the packages will always contain a seed of the dream tree that anyone can plant.

Only after doing so did Lorien provide a large number of seeds that is enough to cover the earth a couple of times over.

After all, he didn't want to keep creating them per demand, not to mention that there was no need to worry about them spoiling or anything like that.

Moreover, those seeds are quite special as Lorien personally modified and adapted them to this world adding the function of Negative Energy Purifing.

It's just that Lorien made it so that it only purifies a certain amount of negative energy while keeping a certain amount of it in the atmosphere so it doesn't hugely affect the birth of cursed spirits.

That way, the ecosystem of this world won't be affected and the cursed spirit's side will no longer have the upper hand.

Moreover, considering that this non-profit organization will be under the watchful eyes of the whole world, he announced that the seeds planted by them are genetically modified and improved allowing them to grow at an incredible speed and reach maturity in just a couple of months.

And not only that but also the carbon absorption and oxygen emission were greatly improved and they have the ability to grow in basically any environment.

Not to mention the fact that they look aesthetically pleasing.

And the moment this was announced, the organization was contacted by a large number of research facilities, organizations, and enterprises to confirm and to ask for samples to research which Lorien gladly provided.

After all, there was no way they could gain anything from it considering that all of those features originate from Lorien's power hidden inside of the seed and the seed itself.

And even if some sorcerer was invited, Lorien hid a 'surprise' inside that guarantees that whenever this sorcerer sees any tree or seed in the future, he'll run for his life.

Assured Scar for life with a lifelong money-back policy!

And so like that, a website was also quickly created, followed by social media accounts to cover as many channels as possible.

Then, influencers all over the world were contacted and were paid large sums of money to defuse the message which was relatively easy considering the nature of the organization and the global trend.

And from there, everything was easy as it was negotiated that after tests to make sure that the trees are safe for use and plant, they'll start work all over the world.

'Soon, the Tree of Dreams will cover the whole planet!'

Thinking of this, a grin appeared on Lorien's face as he stretched lazily.

'I really love the modern world, things are relatively easy to do as long as the right method is used.'
