Chapter 29 - Chapter 29

Friday 22, February of 2008.

8:00pm at the castle in the Ark Dimension.

Two days have passed since Testarossa showed off the tek technology.

There were still no news from Nick Fury. But Drake has been very busy working.

He has already hired enough people to maintain the small town in his desert. He had hired 50 chefs and kitchen workers, 300 for his perishable foods warehouse, 500 for his oil company, 50 people for HR and Safety, and 50 demons overseeing everything.

It was safe to say that the majority of them requested to bring their family with them and Drake agreed. Now the current population of his desert town was 1,780 since all of them brought their wives and children.

Drake was generous and built a school and made a request to the city of Albuquerque to send teachers and include the school in their school district.

He also built restaurants, stores and other amenities. When he made them available for rent on the internet, many were interested and came to visit the small town.

Now all the desert town needed was a name. But Drake felt his naming sense was terrible so he left it to Helena, who immediately declared the town as Oasis Town.

The name stuck, people liked it and Albuquerque recognized it and made it public.

Now there were more people planning to move to Oasis Town, and Albuquerque even requested Drake to build public buildings for them to send people to work.

Drake estimated that the population would increase to 10,000 in the next week.

The desert wasn't longer a desert since Drake had ordered his demons to plant flowers and cherry blossom trees using the almighty farming tool. Now the side where all the greenhouses were built, was a beautiful garden.

People would stop in his town just to take pictures of the trees and beautiful flowers. So the town became popular in the internet, and Drake received calls daily asking if he had available apartments to move in.

Drake had also received visits from 30 oil refineries who ordered the same quantity of two billion worth of oil.

Some had malicious intentions thinking he will run out of oil and wanted Drake to break the contract so they could charge Drake the contract fee. But they would be disappointed since he had infinite oil.

Drake had already built 2,000 oil trucks, but had no drivers yet. He had no choice but to pay more and only then people began calling, interested in the job.

He had also set up his warehouse for food, and even put all the workers through a food handling certificate. He already had everything necessary and even had trucks to carry the food around.

Drake had already gotten in contact with many farmers market and they agreed to buy his supplies. Now all he needed was delivery but again he had no drivers.

At the end, Drake hired a delivery company and he made a deal to hire as many drivers as they could provide and he would pay them double.

The company, Truck for Hire, agreed with big smiles and sent him 420 truck drivers. Plus the people who called for the driver's position, Drake estimated to have 500 drivers by tomorrow. He needed 2,000 for his oil company and 500 for his perishable company.

Tomorrow inspectors for both, the oil company and the perishable company will be arriving. Their job was to check if he was following all regulations and protocols.

Drake wasn't worry about them.

In other news, Drake's apps and games had exploded in the internet. Helena had hacked Facebook and YouTube to promote his apps and games with high traffic and these companies had noticed it. They didn't know how Drake did it and had no evidence of being hacked but they knew Drake had done something.

Drake felt he was taking too much liberties with them and it wasn't like he didn't have money for publicity. So he decided to hire them for advertisement on good terms, he even paid them handsomely which made the resentment the companies had to vanish.

Drake invested heavily on advertising his apps and games, not only Facebook and YouTube but also tv stations and google. He invested 2 billions on advertising around the world and it was paying off.

ChatGPT was the most famous one with more than 50 million users on the first week. People were delighted with all of Palma's capabilities.

Then his apps like TikTok, Snapchat and Tinder already had 20 million downloads the last two days and people were leaving good reviews.

Drake took a page from the original creators of TikTok and announced a reward program for those who became content creators with more than 10 thousand followers and 100 thousand views and he also added a gift function.

Nyx's game, The Last of Us, have been the talk of the week and already had 17 millions of downloads and it was still increasing.

It was currently the most livestream video game on Twitch and people were fascinated by the story. What made people happy was that the game came with many languages, so people around the globe were playing.

The mobile games weren't behind either, there were millions of downloads in just two days. Drake decided to wait a few months before releasing any new game. He didn't want to overwhelm people.

Right now, Drake was watching tv with his family, he had Ponta on his lap enjoying head pads.

He was sitting with the demon girls including Diablo and his parents were sitting in another couch with Orbelina and Esprit.

By now, both his parents had already finished their training and had become good fighters. They even learned how to control Ki and even learned to fly and use Ki blasts.

Drake had given them a second fruit of might and their strength had increased again. He decided to give them one fruit every week.

Drake wasn't stingy with his subordinates, he also gave them fruits. Even the primordials ate the fruit and could feel the Ki running through their bodies but unlike his parents they mastered Ki control in just a few hours.

Drake decided to give everyone one fruit every week, including himself. He had already ate one and the increased in his strength was minimal but he still feels the ki. Thanks to the demon girls teaching him, he managed to control it in a few minutes.

Now all that was left was to develop the kamehameha.

Although Drake hadn't received news from Fury, that didn't mean he stopped keeping taps on them.

He had already order Moss to monitor Shield and find out who were from Hydra. He had also asked Moss to find all of Hydra's bases and people along with the Ten Rings.

Moss could make many small clones of his body and disperse them all over the world. So in just one week of working he had already located many Hydra, Ten Rings and the Hand bases. But he wasn't sure if he had found all of them.

Drake asked him to continue monitoring them, once the cooldown for the dragon balls was over, he would ask for information and kill all of them at the same time. For now, he wanted to keep taps on their movements.

Moss didn't forget to report Tony's progress on his iron suit. He was still hammering and dismantling missiles to build his suit. He had already created the arch reactor.

Drake also had Moss to monitor the president since he was the one who would decide what to do with Drake's technology.

Moss reported that when Fury delivered his report on his alien technology and how Drake's plans included terraforming the solar system, the president felt Fury was mocking him.

(Flashback no jutsu)

Who would believe in alien technology so advanced? Elixirs capable of bringing the dead back to life and curing all diseases?

The president found everything absurd, but when he saw the video evidence of the technology and the elixirs testing. He made an incredulous face and looked at Fury seriously.

"Can't we just confiscate all his assets? He's just a boy, can he really fight against our whole nation?"

Fury signed heavily already expecting this and warned:

"We don't know the extent of his powers yet. Even his subordinates are not humans, we don't know what they are capable of. Even if their numbers are few, if they use tek suits without the restrictions, there's no army who would win against them. Besides, he presents advanced alien technology but not a single weapon was exposed, I believe he's just waiting for our decision to act. If we go against him, we will lose but if we help him develop, we might bring good changes to our world."

The president tapped his fingers on the table and said gravely:

"You might be right, but can we really trust someone we can't control? What if he becomes an enemy of the country one day and it's too late to stop him? What will you do then?"

"With all due respect sir, but there's nothing we can do against him now. If he wished he could just take his family and leave the planet to terraform others and create his own home. He has the resources to create what he wants."

The president felt a headache.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Fury didn't hesitate and replied:

"Agree to his terms and help him develop. Make him a friend of humanity and hope he doesn't turn evil."

The president contemplated for a moment and said:

"Do you know what the world will turn into if teleportation and medicine that cures all is available? Airplanes will be useless, doctors and nurses will lose their jobs. We'll be touching many people's interests. They might target this boy and get rid of him. Don't even get me started on his plan to terraform the solar system, we'll need to speak with the UN about it but I'm sure they won't allow him to own planets just because he can terraform them, people are greedy, some will want a share of these planets, others will covet his technology."

Nick Fury lowered his head and agreed with the president.

"But there's nothing we can do to stop him. He will terraform those planets with or without our world's concern. He will use his technology with or without our approval, he will sell those medicines to desperate families looking to save their loved ones. It's just a matter of time before everyone in the world knows about what he is capable of. No one will be able to touch him since he literally lives in another dimension."

The president sank on his chair and said in a defeated voice:

"Give me a few days, I need to explain things to the UN. I'll let you know my decision soon."

(Flashback no jutsu is broken)

It was 8:00 pm so Drake stood up from the couch and gave Ponta to his mother.

"I'm going to make a run to the dungeons."

When Drake announced this, his four demon girls immediately stood and accompanied him.

Drake had only made three trips to the dungeons and already had more than 100 thousands of shadow soldiers. When he was at school or working he would leave the shadow soldiers in the dungeons in battle mode. Some demons would tag along to pick up the spoils, now Drake had many vaults full of gold, jewels and treasures.

He had completely forgotten about his treasure and decided to ask Fury if he could sell them the next time he saw him.
