The New Tasks

The next week, they finished negotiating for the island. It was sold at $100,000,000,000. The entire Buru island now belong to Alessandro but they bought it under the company name as he wanted to stay anonymous. It would be strange for a 17 years old, unlisted trillionaire to buy a very big island.

Alessandro called a meeting with the girls(who are now CEOs).

"Boss."

"Girls. It's time for the next phase. I need you to recruit some loyal people. On top of the money, find people who are in a lot of debt. The only thing that could make someone more loyal than money is gratitude. And I need you to adopt orphans in the company name. They will be staying at the mansion."

"Boss, what do you need orphans for?"

"That's something I'll worry about. You just do what I say."

"Ok boss."

That's something he liked about them. They only ask once and they do what he ask.

"And I need you to build the lab on the island as well as a power plant. Then I need you to hire engineers. They will need to build an underground bunker. It will go as deep as possible. It must be able to house at least one million people. And it need to be self-sustainable. Don't worry about the cost. And make sure there's sewers and water."

"Boss, are you going to build an underground city?"

"Yes, it would be like an underground city. And we need to build canning factories on the island. The power plant, agriculture, lab, canning factories and the underground bunker entrance need to be tightly knit together and they all will be surrounded by a wall."

"That would cost over hundreds of billions, if not trillions dollars."

"Don't worry about the money. Just do it. Our survival may depend on it."

They didn't know what that mean but when they looked into his eyes, they could see that he was telling the truth. Whenever they ask him, he would wave the question away. They were sure that he knows something they didn't. He knew something no one know. The burden that he would carry alone.

"Ok, boss."

"That's all, for now."

One year passed. The lab, the canning factories and the power plant was built. Chan had also made the Ophelia almost perfect. In another year, it would be perfect with an automatic defense system and automated factories. He published the second prototype with subscription for $1,000 per/month. It includes automated opening doors, automatic turning on/off lights, automated coffee, automated breakfast. It was insanely successful as it was already better than all the AI on the planet. His company was also making so much profit that it made over $50,000,000 US dollars. 

He knew that money would only be useful for the moment. As soon as the Apocalypse hit, the money would amount to nothing. All the luxuries would become unnecessary.

The Burnhill didn't bother him again as he made the last one that tried to kidnap him, tell his superiors that there was nothing going on. His body was at his prime again. Sara became better too. He could last several minutes in a boxing ring against Alessandro. He also practiced shooting and also made the girls and Chan learn as it would be essential in their survival. 

Thousands of people works for him now. Half of them were helped by him as he needed loyal people. And half of them were researchers. There were also marketing managers and accounting managers but their numbers are few compared to them. 

Another year passed.

It seemed the researchers have discovered materials stronger than graphene. It was a day of celebration for him as he could start making the shelter. Money wasn't a problem. The new strongest material was rather cheap. He would go to the lab that day. It would be the first time that the researchers see their young boss.

When he got on stage to made a speech, the researchers looked at him like he was crazy.

"Kid, get down from there. That's the place for our boss."

He ignored them and started speaking.

"I'm happy that you guys have made a breakthrough. It's very refreshing. I am Alessandro Evander aka your boss."

The crowd murmured. They didn't know that they were working for a young kid. They all thought they were working for someone who is older.

"And I have another assignment for you. Research faster."

With that, he walked down. It was a terrible speech. He had never make a speech like that before.

"Ophelia, call the CEOs."

"Of course."

There were houses but they were mainly for the researchers and workers there. So he waited in his car for them.

"Girls, I have another task."

The tasks he was giving them were almost endless. 

"I need you to recruit these people."

He gave them a list. That list contained names of people who were famous during the Apocalypse. Famous cyber engineers, shooters and agriculture researchers. 

Finally, an easy task. It won't be that hard to find these people.

"Ok, boss."

"Oh and I need them to build the underground bunker now. We've discovered what I wanted. I'm not sure if it will be enough but it would be good enough."

Time passed so fast for them. Drowned in work. Alessandro and Sara was also working with the new recruits, teaching them how to fight, how to shoot. At first, the recruits looked down on him and Sara because of their age but they soon learn not to. The girls also started feelings for Alessandro as they were living in the same house. Sara and Alessandro were already romantically involved as they spent most of their times together, training.
