“Hi gramps!” Jessica shouted happily in surprise. “So good of you to co check on ! Are you finally free to spend ti with your granddaughter after so long? Have I finally moved up in your scale of priority?”
She blinked innocently as she stared at her grandfather through the portal.
“Hohoho. What a vicious guilt attack! Well done, Jessica. Well done. The best defense is offense indeed.” Jul’Taras murmured in approval of her best friend’s well executed move.
“I… I…” Director Sands of the all powerful Gaming Commission sputtered in shock at the utterly rciless attack his beloved granddaughter was levelling on him!
“Or are you begrudging the fact that I am using re wealth to attract your attention? Should I talk to grandma about it?” Jessica Sands narrowed her eyes slightly as she unleashed another devastating attack on her grandfather.
“Of course not! Leave your grandmother out of it!” Director Sands imdiately shouted.
“I can do that.” Jessica Sands conceded that particular point. “But you truly are too much, gramps. I an, how can you only co talk to when I am investing almost all of your money? If I didn’t do this, would you have co and talked to today? Tomorrow? Do you even care about anymore??”
Jessica sobbed lightly as her mouth curled into an adorable pout and her large round eyes welled up with tears.
“Oh you’re good. You’re very, very good.” Jul’Taras murmured, feeling extrely impressed with Jessica’s all-star performance.
“I… Of course I still care about you! In fact, I am just informing you that I want to make a dinner appointnt with you tonight! Do you have ti to have dinner with your old, naggy grandfather, Jessica?” Director Sands imdiately directed his efforts on fire control to prevent Jessica from unleashing more devastating attacks on him.
He had been terribly ambushed, and he needed to imdiately go on the defensive!
“No! I’m too busy! You’re not the only one who is busy!” Jessica imdiately rejected her grandpa’s attempt to placate her. Oh no, she still had many trump cards!
“I need to work hard to increase the amount of money in YOUR bank account so that you finally don’t have to work so hard, you know? So that you can finally have lots of ti for ! Not just a asly two hours every month for dinner!” Jessica shifted into high gear and plowed on.
“Ahahaha! You’re mistaken, my dear. I don’t need money at all. In fact, I can quit my job any ti! I can quit right now if you want! In fact, that’s -“
“No! I don’t want you to quit your job!” Jessica imdiately shouted anxiously.
It would be REALLY bad if her grandfather had too much ti on his hands. He would be pestering her nonstop!
Jul’Taras was extrely impressed. Now she knew where Jessica got her sneakiness from. It was from her grandfather!!
“I know you love your job. I don’t want you to lose sothing precious just because I miss you so much. I’ll be happy if you can spare ti for once a wee- err, once every two weeks!” Jessica said quickly.
“Yes, once every two weeks is good. I can even give you a report then on how I am investing your wealth. I’m trying really hard here. I know that you’ll feel much more at ease if you have a stockpile of wealth for your retirent.” Jessica said.
“I feel kind of sad seeing that you only have a hundred thousand or so resource planets in your bank account.” At that, Jessica’s eyes welled up slightly once more. “And although it’s risky, I have to try and increase that amount through investnts! It’s so scary! You know how investnts are, right? Sotis they fail. And I don’t know what I’ll do if this investnt fails… Huhuhu…”
“Ah, poor child. You are so mistaken. I have more than just one hundred thousand resource planets! I have at least five hundred thousand more scattered over various bank accounts! Don’t worry about your grandfather! Even if you lost the hundred thousand resource planets, I am fine! I am totally fine!” Director Sands tried to reassure his granddaughter that it’s okay if she lost all his money.
He had conveniently forgotten the original reason why he contacted his granddaughter!
“Grandmaster. She is a grandmaster at milking her grandfather for money! I need to take notes.” Jul’Taras murmured to herself, knowing very well that both Void Walkers had ridiculously sharp hearing that had no problems catching everything that she was murmuring to herself about.
“Are you sure?” Jessica batted her large round eyes at her grandfather innocently and ignored Jul’Taras completely.
“Yes, yes. Don’t worry about it. Just… Do whatever you like with the money! I have more! A lot more! After working day and night for so many years, I am rich! All the sacrifices I had made to be where I am now are not for nothing, you know. In fact, if you don’t have enough, you can ask for more! How much more do you need?” Director Sands asked Jessica with a sincere and loving voice.
Which of course, made Jessica feel extrely guilty. All the money she was spending truly was her grandfather’s hard earned money after hundreds of years! What sort of granddaughter would she be if she spent them all without a single care?
“Ahhhhh gramps. That’s a really good guilt card you played. Fine. Fineeee! You win. I’ll be more careful with your money from now on!” Jessica sighed loudly.
“Nonono, just spend it all! Here! Let refill the account with another hundred thousand resource planets. Letting you control a third of my life savings which I am planning to use for my pension is nothing at all! Nothing! You can tell about how you invest it this weekend during our dinner date, alright? Okay, I have to go now. Bye darling!”
And with that, the portal disappeared.
Jessica sighed deeply again as a beep rang out.
She quickly checked her information pad. A short ssage on it notified her that a hundred thousand resource planets had just been deposited into the account that she was controlling.
“Damn it. He really transferred a hundred thousand resource planets into the account.”
She looked at Jul’Taras who had a very amused expression on her face.
“He won. Completely.” Jessica Sands grumbled.
Jul’Taras rely chuckled loudly.
“Damn it. I won’t touch a single resource planet from that account anymore! It’s the result of his blood sweat and tears! Elliot! You better win first place and give five million resource planets as spending money!!” Jessica Sands shouted.
Next to them, Monkey King’s brain had short circuited.
