Drake have been doing his homework and unfinished assignments all day until his hand became numb. But he finished it all in a single day and understood everything easily.
Orbelina has been gone all day, but he knew she was fine thanks to his shadows. This ark world was only 921 miles square. Unlike the game where you could go to every biome in a few minutes, here it took hours.
Helena have been telling him about everything of this world. He now knew that kingpin has already lost his wife and son and was investing heavily on a collider to bring back his loved ones from other universes.
Drake decided to take advantage of this and send Agera to negotiate with kingpin. He would bring back his wife and child for an generous investment on the new business he was going to start.
Drake had Helena inform Agera about everything of Kingpin and his location, after Agera assured he would be successful, he stepped outside of the ark and went to find kingpin.
Drake trusted Agera since he was a very powerful in swordsmanship, and he was also the grandfather of Hakurou. He was also Carrera's kin.
Drake then learned about the mutants, their existence was hidden by the government. But the school for gifted youngsters was already established along with the X-man. But the thing that surprised Drake was that in this world, Magneto didn't abandon professor Xavier and actually worked as a history teacher and was part of the X-man.
There were not records of Sebastian Shaw and the Hellfire Club.
The fantastic 4 haven't been created yet but Reed Rechards was already making the machine that transport them to the other world where they will absorb the special energy that will develop their abilities.
Drake didn't care about anything at all, he only care about his family and about making money, so he was ready to flood the market with unlimited resources and watch the whole world burn.

Agera wasn't surprised by the modernized world. He only care about his mission. So he used the shadows as a cover and weaved through the crowd of people and reached Fisk Tower in just a few minutes.
Agera instant step all the way to the top floor, ignoring the bodyguards and staying completely undetected. He appeared inside Kingpin's office and looked at the massive man doing paperwork.
"You must be Wilson Fisk, I have a message from my lord."
Kingpin didn't even looked up, but a shadow in the corner already raised his gun and shot three time to the intruder.
Agera didn't even bat an eyelash, he saw the bullets coming towards him in slow motion, drew his katana and sliced the bullets in half.
Kingpin finally paid attention to the intruder, he saw a young man with long black hair and dressed as a Japanese swordsman. He raised an eyebrow and asked:
"Do you work for the Hand?"
Agera shook his head no and replied, "I work for my lord, Drake Martinez. And I have a message he asked me to deliver."
Drake had no intention of hiding, with his strength, there was no one he feared except someone like OAA.
Hearing Drake's name, kingpin didn't recognize anyone important by that name, meaning he was someone new. He information about everything in important in this world, so he wouldn't be surprised if a mutant with incredible power decided to create an organization.
"What's the message?" Kingpin asked intrigued.
"His exact words were, 'I can resurrect your wife and son in one year in exchange for one hundred million dollars. Although I can tell you how I can do it, you can only believe my words. If I don't resurrect them, I will give you double of the money you give me. This is the only chance I give you, so think carefully about your answer.'"
As soon as Kingpin heard that this Drake could bring back his wife and son from the dead, his pupils dilated and the last memory of his loved one crossed his mind.
Kingpin stayed silent for a moment, there was not loss in this business, he only had to wait one more year. He had spent the last three year founding the collider and spent billions with no result yet. Now he only had to spend 100 millions and wait one year to get what he wants, he didn't hesitate anymore.
"Do you have a bank account? I'll transfer the money now."
Agera just took a piece of paper with the bank account number written on it. Helena had prepared it beforehand since she believed Kingpin would be smart enough to agree. Besides, one hundred million for kingpin was a drop in the bucket in exchange for his loved ones.
"There is done. Tell your lord I want to meet him one day." Kingpin said as he put his phone down.
"I will let him know." Agera bowed and with an instant step, disappeared leaving no trail behind.
Once he was gone, Bullseye in the corner asked, "are you sure you can trust this Drake guy?"
"I have a feeling he wasn't lying. I believe we'll know more of this Drake guy soon."

Agera returned to Drake's house. He saw Moss watching cartoons and drinking juice. He shook his head and sat next to him, watching television while their lords were in the ark dimension.

"Drake, you have received 100 millions in your bank account." Helena reported.
Drake smiled and said, "Kingpin is an assertive man, I guess I'll really bring back his wife and son in one year."
"Were you not planning too?" Helena asked confused.
"Well, one wish is more important than money. In one year, 200 millions will be worthless to me. But I guess I'll do Kingpin a favor." Drake said, no bothered whether kingpin would be enraged or not if he didn't keep his word.
"What are you gonna do now with money?" Helena asked.
"First, find an office building we can rent, one floor is enough. I don't care about the space since we will be working with computers only."
"Second, I want you to register a few companies under my name, Ark Entertainment, Ark Technologies, and Ark Videogames Studios. I want to be the sole proprietor. You can sign in my name."
"Third, I want you to start buying acres of desert in New Mexico. The more the better. That's it for now." Drake instructed.
Helena quickly nodded and started to get to work. Using the system itself she quickly approved all procedures and check for all errors.
"After you're done with all that, start working on creating three more AIs that will be taking care of the companies and who will create and manage the apps, video games, movies and technology." Drake instructed.
Helena didn't care about all the work, she was happy of being useful to Drake, besides the work wasn't that bad.
"I understand." She replied while her screen flashed with many symbols.
"Thank you for working so hard, Helena, you're the best. I honestly don't know what I would do without you." Drake complimented her.
Helena's screen flushed red for a second and said whispering, "you're welcome Drake, anything for you."
Drake smiled.
It was already 7:45 pm, so drake went to sit down by the beach with the demon girls and Diablo. Zonda as a diligent servant offered drinks and food. They spent a nice time until it was 8:30 when all the dungeons sent Drake a message telling him that the dungeons were ready.
Before Drake could enter, the dungeons asked him one more question, if he wanted to choose the drop rewards. Drake asked them that he wanted more treasures and magic items than monsters' drops.
All the dungeons agreed except the Rosendal Dungeon who sent a message telling him that he could only make meat drops. Drake didn't mind and said it was okay.
Drake stood in front of the Doran Dungeon and said to the demons accompanying him:
"We're speed running these dungeons. By tomorrow night I want to be finished with them, understand?"
The demons accompanying him were the primordials in charge of fighting and Venom, Cien, Veyron and Zonda who were in charge of collecting drops.
"Understood" they replied in unison and began to run.
