Halle didn''t stay for breakfast.


    I suppose that she has things she needs to do. I didn''t bother to have her stay after we concluded our business transaction.


    This is because I already have my fun. I reverse time instead of jumping back to the past after thest round. It is so I don''t get blue balls.


    Furthermore, I have plenty of footages to rey whenever I wanted. The nanites in my bloodstreams can simte all the senses, allowing me to relive the moment.


    Of course, it could neverpare to a real woman even if all senses are simted perfectly.


    It is the thought that counts.


    Before Halle leaves the room, I did warn her about the money in the bank ount under her name at Chrono Reserves. While she can use as much as she wants for whatever reasons, she will have to repay every single dime that she splurges.


    The money in there is more or less her sry, just paid in advance.


    Being an actress is one of the highest paying job in Hollywood, so I doubt she will have difficulty paying back whatever debt she incurs – if she incurs any.


    I honestly can''t have my actresses living in a homeless shelter and eating out of the garbage.


    However, if she is unwilling to work under me, I rather not push the matter too much. I have plenty of actors and actresses to choose from.


    Besides, Halle already has her punishment for stealing something she shouldn''t have.


    Once Halle is gone, I return to my work, reading through the digital manuscript of Jurassic Park through the neural interface. I n to have the book distributes to the entire country in the uing weeks or months.


    Months seem too slow, but it is expected with the 1990.


    I n to change all of that with Horizon Social Network (HSN). It is a telmunicationpany on the surface, but it much more devious than that.


    I will tell you all about it when it is time.


    On the literature side of things, I also prepare Harry Potter and Game of Thrones as well.


    The two series will be published next after Jurassic Park or simultaneously together with it, depending on the audiences.


    I am very new at this, so I will use future knowledge to my advantage.


    As for what movies Terra Production should be working on in the uing months, I have a look at all the blockbusters in the 1990.


    Ghost by Paramount Pictures is at the top of the list. The romantic fantasy thriller movie will make just above 500 million on a 22 million dors budget. Home Alone by 20th Century Fox is next on the list, racking in almost the same amount on an 18 million dors budget.


    I could wrestle controls with thosepanies for the right to produce and distribute, but why waste time and energy. Those movies are likely already in production or pre-production.


    And since Chrono Holdings has controlling interests in the twopanies, it is just better to let them be – for now. I will buy them out and dismantle them in the future, right after I get rid of the monopolyw in America.


    Monopolyw is part of antitrustw. Long story short, it basically prevents me from dominating the United States in any business sector.


    Kind of annoying. I know.


    But if it wasn''t in ce, I could have done whatever I bloody pleased since the 1970s. Chrono Holdings controls pretty much all the major corporations in America by then. Merging them all into one super monster of an entity is not that difficult.


    I will call that megapany Chronicle Incorporated.


    It is already a registered trademark. As a matter of fact, Chrono Holdings along with Chrono Reserves and Chrono Estates is subsidiaries of Chronicle Incorporated.


    However, because Chronicle Incorporated is rarely mentioned when the news is talking about Chrono Holdings and other subsidiaries, it has slips awaypletely from the public mind. It didn''t help that thepany didn''t even have its own headquarter.


    The general public only know about the individual subsidiaries due to their dominants in the Financial and Economic Sector.


    Chronicle Incorporated only exists on paper with a single owner – Maximilien Maxwell.


    Yep. It is me.


    If someone bother to dig a little deeper, they would notice who the actual owner of the biggest broker, banker andnd owner in America.


    Too bad it is hard to dig a little deeper. Shield makes sure of that with all the legal mumble jumble that I couldn''t be bothered to understand.


    It is good to have an artificial working for me. They can outthink pretty much anyone and anything.


    Anyway, I should stop getting sidetracked. There are just too many things on my mind. So much things to do and so little time to do them.


    I check the highest-grossing films of 1991 and 1992.


    However, the highest-grossing movies are either sequels or have their copyrights brought. I could steal the copyrights, but I don''t think I can win those kinds of cases.


    So, let''s forwards to the box offices of 1993.


    And what do you know?


    Jurassic Park tops the box office of 1993, follows by Mrs. Doubtfire and the Fugitive. I guess that those three are the movies I should make.


    I am nning to make three blockbusters movies a year after all.


    Making those movies three years in advance is also a good idea. I won''t have to deal with unwinnable copyrightwsuits.


    Well, not that they are unwinnable.


    I am in the belief of that if there is a will, there is definitely a fucking way.


    Honestly, if I can''t think of anything, I could always have the original creators meet with an unfortunate ident if they cause me too much trouble.


    Car crashes. Leak gases. Deadly allergic reaction.


    There are plenty to choose from. Hydra and Shield is pretty good at finding ways to kill people without anyone raising an eyebrow. If there are witnesses or those too smart for their own good, they won''t live long to tell anyone about it.


    Is that too evil? Definitely. Do I care?


    Eh… a little.


    It is because doing that too much will have the entire United States government bearing upon me and my associates. Without Shield telling me, I know for a fact they are looking into Chrono Holdings and other majorpanies right about now.


    There is no way they are not considering Chrono Holdings has predicted the market to almost perfect uracy. Henry makes a few mistakes here and there to make it seems legit.


    I am also in the belief that any secret will eventuallye to light.


    Just be prepared for that eventuality, hence my countless ns. Keeping track of so many ns really make my head hurts. So many things can go wrong due to too many moving parts.


    Maybe it is time to activate XCOM.


    Well, it isn''t exactly called XCOM.


    I just like to call it that on the ount I love the game so much.


    It is actually called XCOMBAT – my personal drone army.


    Unlike Hydra or Shield, who has human operators in every divisions, XCOMBAT isposed entirely of machine. A fearless and unrelenting army that does not sleep, eat or feel. They will not stop until they aplish whatever mission I give them.


    They are backup ns to Hydra and Shield. Yeah. I''m not going to have those two organizations have a chance to backstab me.


    XCOMBAT Headquarter is in China, thend of the rising dragons.


    Yes. I''m exploiting poor Chinese farmers on the countryside to build my deadly robotic army. At least they get a decent meal 3 times a day and a bit of money to take home to their family.


    I have been working on this army since 1976, right after Mao died. I think might have something to do with that.


    Historically, Mao should have died around that time, but he refuses to due to divergent timeline, so I suggest to Hua Guofeng to put him down and seize power.


    The man did with a little bit of help from XCOMBAT of course. He is still in office right now. All power of the People Army lies within his hand. However, he is a bit paranoid right now, fearing death and people stabbing him and what''s not.


    That is why I didn''t bother him too much in the past decade.


    I will have to once Antis makes their move since China is one of the world superpowers of the future after all. Having them under my control will prevent World War 3.


    The sun has risen in the horizon by the time I was done preparing everything for Terra Entertainment and all its subsidiaries.


    It will be a very long week ahead.


    I just hope no one gives me anymore trouble. It a waste of time teaching them a lesson, honestly.


    But I couldn''t just turn a blind eye and let it go.


    Once I do, everyone will stop fearing me and start doing shit on their own. I can''t have that.


    But before all of that – Antigone! Daddy is home!


    Did you miss me?


    Her screaming pierces my ear.


    I guess she did miss me. Heh.


    Ah. Fatherhood…
