The WealthTap System: Rising from Rags to Riches

Chapter 27 The Grand Seasonal Fest



Currently, Cassie, Aria, and Cathy were all sitting on the wide sofa and the sisters were grilling Aria for the details of the date.

As soon as the introductions were finished, Cathy suddenly took charge and ditched Chris, she and Cassie pulled Aria away, leaving him alone with his twitching eyebrows.

"Sigh, I have some stuff to do anyways," Chris sighed and left the girls to talk. He sat on the dining table and turned on Cassie\'s laptop that he had gifted her last year on her birthday.

When exiting the Highway Treat, Chris had seen an advertisement that intrigued him.

< We are thrilled to announce that The Highway Treat had opened a new restaurant chain, *The Gourmet Bites*

The Franchise will be launched with a stall in the Prestige ring of The Grand Seasonal Fest!

We cordially invite all our esteemed customers to take part in the grand opening of our sub-franchise. >

He didn\'t give a shit about the new chain or the new restaurant, the thing that had intrigued him was the Fest itself, it was a pretty famous fest that was one month long and changed the spots every 3 days.

It meant that the Fest would be held in Glorr city for only 3 days before packing up and leaving!

Chris still remembered his opening a business mission, and technically opening a stall counts as a business too!

\'That\'s the fastest way to complete the mission I can think of,\' Chris thought while searching the information about Grand Fest that will happen in Glorr City.

\'Hmm, it\'s just one week far. I have too less time left," Chris thought while thinking about the stuff he can sell. There was no obligation that only a specific item can be sold in the fair, but most of the sale was dominated by food stalls.

\'What can I even sell?\' Chris thought, scrounging his brain for ideas, on the side he also opened the list of all registered stalls in the fest.

The grand fest was divided into 3 rings, Outer, Middle, and Prestige. Chris knew that prestige was beyond his reach and outer was too low for his choice.

So, he chose to scout the registered stalls in the middle ring. Well, most turned out to be local food restaurants or some stores like bookstores or toy stores.

What did he expect from a fair in E-grade city? The top sharks that take part in E grade city\'s fest were always found in the prestige ring and they have a large fan base to support them aswell.

Like, the world-famous Highway Treat was also opening directly into the prestige ring. But, Chris lacked enough connections to go head to head with those monsters as he knew his limits.

So, he set his goal to beat everyone in the Middle Ring! But... how?

\'Food? Cassie is a good chef but not up to the mark for butting heads with seasoned sharks. Hmm... the system shop...?\' Chris didn\'t know what he can get in the shop but... his Instincts were telling him that would be the game changer!

He brought up the system panel and rechecked his missions since his GF mission was completed.

\'Wtf?!\' Chris gave a weird eye to the new mission and cursed, \'Be a man? T-That means...\' he gulped in nervousness with a tinge of anticipation, thinking about the \'deeds\' he need to do to complete this mission.

\'The pills! And the Phone!\' Chris remembered about the two rewards he hasn\'t collected yet and got up from the dining table.

"Cath, I a package should have arrived in my absence, where is it?" Chris asked.

"Ohh yeah, it was an Amayon delivery. I kept it in your room," Cathy paused her chat with Aria and answered back.

"Alright, thanks." Chris nodded and went inside the master bedroom.

"WHAT WAS IN IT ANYWAY?" he heard a distant shout from the hall but he didn\'t reply instantly and instead picked up the brown cardboard box, and walked out of the room.

"My new phone," Chris answered, catching the attention of the two siblings, they quickly ditched Aria and came over to Chris, who was currently sitting back on the dining table.

"Which one is it? Which company? RAM? Is it Android? IOS? Model?" Cassie began her barrage of questions while looking at the cardboard box.

"You will see," Chris grinned mysteriously and tore the taping with a ball point pen, pulling out a slick golden-coloured box.

It boldly stated word the word M-Phone with its iconic logo of a half-eaten mango, both siblings instantly recognized the logo as it was one of the most trendy phones if not counting the hi-tech holograms from C and higher grade cities.

He broke the seal gently and lifted the case with the utmost care, Aria also left the sofa and came over to see what this fuss was about.

\'Its just a phone, duh.\' for her a new phone wasn\'t that big deal as she herself had a nice M-Phone 12 Pro, but, for Cassie and Cathy? It was like a blue moon.

Chris took out a slim, slick designed golden phone from the box and all 3 other spectators\' eyes widened.

The phone had dual selfie camera and 5 Rear cameras undoubtedly the M-Pbone 14 series! That series was hard to find even in D-Grade cities, don\'t even mention an E-grade city like Glorr City.

"How did you buy it?" Aria asked, her reaction a little more composed than the sisters.

"My business partner gifted it to me," Chris lied with open teeth.

"Just who is your partner bro?" Cathy asked, glaring into Chris\'s eyes.

Chris hearing the question, sneakily turned the phone on and easily turned the topic back to the new phone.

"Ohh, It\'s starting!" Cassie cheered while taking the phone away from Chris\'s hands. She began to quickly set up the starting settings while Chris left her be and checked on the box instead, ignoring Cathy\'s doubts.

But, his eyes suddenly fell on the sender\'s details that were on Amayon\'s parcel.

The sender\'s address and all the rest of the details were filled with \'?\' except one thing, the name!

< TDS Corps >

\'TDS? The tax one? The water one? Wtf is TDS?\' Chris thought confused, he knew both the options he said in shock were impossible, TDS Corp sounded like a big company name, but... Chris had never heard about it!

"Brother! Give your older phone!" Cassie brought Chris out of his thoughts and demanded his ex-phone excitedly.

"You want to transfer the data? sure." Chris smiled and passed his phone to Cassie.

\'I am still not worthy enough to question these mysteries... sigh," Chris sighed and pushed the matter of TDS corps back behind in his mind.

"You are even buying a new phone now, where is mine?" Cathy glared at Chris and demanded angrily.

"A-Ah, I will take you on shopping tomorrow, sounds good?" Chris gave a wry smile to please Cathy and Cassie.

"Aria, you can join too," Cathy asked cheekily, knowing that Chiris wants to invite her aswell.

"Sigh, I really want to, but, I have an important meeting tomorrow, the owner of the store is coming, phew," Aria muttered in disappointment.
