INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything - Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Chapter 245 – Relaxation
“Oh, and Delmar, draft the letter on our finest gold-trimmed paper,” William instructed.

Delmar smiled and nodded, then departed with a measured stride. William continued to scrutinize the green letter in his hands, contemplating various strategies to ensure the success of whatever this invitation entailed.

He wondered what it would take for this unexpectedly expected invitation to the way it would be beneficial.

Noticing that William was deep in thought, Adam rose from his seat and attempted to leave the room. “Alright then, I’ll see you tomorrow,” he said. But just as he was about to exit, William halted him.

“Wait!”

Adam turned back, and William added, “I think we should cancel tomorrow’s training session.”

Adam regarded him with mild perplexity but then nodded, realizing that William likely wanted to avoid any unnecessary disruptions that might interfere with his plans for the meeting. He then exited as William remained fixated on the letter, a single thought preoccupying his mind:

‘I need to make them see me as someone of importance, not merely a nuisance.’

As William ruminated on this, another thought crossed his mind, and a dangerous glint flickered in his eyes. ‘If I were to pursue that course, there’s a chance Edward might confront me, perhaps even engage in a serious discussion. But it’s still just a chance.’

William accessed his system’s stats to check a particular detail.

[ Level: TWO ]

[ Realm: Peak ]

Upon seeing the word “Peak,” William nodded with determination. “Well, it’s time to ascend to the next level,” he declared resolutely as he rose to his feet. He began to make his way to the door, though his movements were slow and deliberate, as he was still feeling the residual pain from his earlier confrontation with Adam.

As he approached the door, Clawdia suddenly appeared at his side, obstructing his path. William gave her a puzzled look and asked, “What’s wrong, Clawdia?”

‘Master, I think you should ride on my back for now. Your body sustained far more damage than in previous days. Please, allow me to carry you.’

William considered her words, then examined his injuries, stretching gingerly to assess the extent of the damage. As he had anticipated, even the slightest movement elicited sharp pangs of pain, accompanied by the unsettling sound of bones creaking. He winced internally.

‘Yeah, I think I’ll postpone leveling up until tomorrow when I’m fully recovered.’ William conceded. He nodded to Clawdia, who then lowered herself, allowing William to climb onto her back.

With painstaking care, Clawdia navigated the stairs, ensuring that each step was taken with the utmost caution to minimize her master’s discomfort. She ascended from the secret underground facility to the main levels of the villa. The workers, noticing this unusual sight, remained silent, their curiosity tempered by the imposing presence of the large tiger, who always seemed to exude a simmering intensity.

Clawdia finally reached William’s bedroom door and attempted to gently place him on the bed, but he stopped her.

“It’s alright, Clawdia. I need to change out of this training suit and take a bath before going to bed. Still, thank you for all your help, girl,” William said, patting her affectionately on the muzzle.

Clawdia smiled warmly and replied, ‘It’s my duty, master. Don’t worry about it.’

William returned her smile, then relaxed his body and said, “Suit down.” The suit automatically Inflated before falling to the floor, revealing William’s bare skin. The suit was designed to inflate gently, minimizing any additional discomfort for the wearer.

He slowly made his way to the bathroom door and instructed, “Arthur, start the warm water for the bathtub in my room.”

[ Right away, Sir. ]

Arthur, the house AI, responded promptly. The bathroom lights flickered on automatically, and warm water began to cascade into the bathtub.

William took nearly two minutes, moving slowly and pausing often, before finally reaching the bathtub. He dipped his hand into the water, testing its warmth, and then said, “Arthur, lower the temperature by six degrees.”

[ Certainly, Sir. ]

The water flowing into the bathtub cooled slightly as William waited for it to fill up. Once it was ready, he eased himself into the water, sighing deeply as the warmth began to soothe his aching muscles.

[ Sir, I suggest adding some calming potions to the bath for your comfort. ]

“Oh! That’s a good idea. Can you do that?”

[ Of course, Sir. ]

Immediately, a green liquid was dispensed into the water, mixing with the warmth. William felt the cool touch of the liquid as it adhered to his skin, bringing an unexpected but welcome sense of relief.

After soaking for a while, William emerged, washed, and dried himself before heading straight to bed, still unclothed. As he closed his eyes, he drifted off to sleep and found himself in an oddly pleasant dream, chasing after two large melons.

[ 19 Hours Later ]

“YAWWWWWN.” Waking up, William stretched luxuriously, relishing the effects of what had been the most restful sleep of his life. “Wow, that green stuff didn’t just make me feel comfortable— it gave me the best sleep I’ve ever had. Arthur, that was a brilliant suggestion,” he remarked aloud, not expecting a response.

[ Thank you, Sir. ]

William glanced around, momentarily startled, before recalling the downside of having an AI integrated into his home.

‘They’re always listening. Thankfully, Delmar has already modified it to ensure its loyalty lies solely with me.’

He got up and looked around for Clawdia, but she was nowhere to be found.

‘Where is she? Every morning she’s either beside me or on top of me.’ Then it dawned on him, ‘She must have taken my injuries seriously and decided to give me some space for the night.’

‘Still, considering everything, she might just be the second-best thing that’s happened to me— after meeting God and getting those cheats, of course.’

He walked towards the door, but before he could open it, Arthur’s voice chimed in once more.

[ Sir, may I suggest something? ]

“Hmm? Sure.”

[ It might be prudent to put on some clothes before going out. ]

William didn’t immediately grasp the meaning until he looked down and realized he was still completely naked. He remembered that he had gone to bed without bothering to dress.

He chuckled awkwardly and said to Arthur, “Good call.”

A few moments later, fully dressed and admiring his reflection in the mirror, William nodded to himself, satisfied with his appearance. He then left the room and descended the stairs.

‘Now, where to go first? Should I return to my room to level up or someth—’ His thoughts were interrupted by a loud growl from his stomach, reminding him that he hadn’t eaten anything since the previous day.

‘To the kitchen, then.’

William made his way to the kitchen, where he encountered a rather amusing scene: his chef was humming a tune while preparing a meal, rhyming as she worked.

“Hmm hmm hmmmm, for the boss, I cook.”

“I cook for him, so his affections may come to me.”

“His affections that seem sincere, but only manifest through the occasional burp and the belly that swells like a pregnant one.”
