Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 194

Chapter 194: Trip To The Company
If Maria knew that Mark had her company in the palm of his hand, then she wouldn’t dare to step out of line. Since Maria didn’t have anything incriminating on Mark, she couldn’t do anything to get him arrested, so she would be caught in a dilemma. If she exposes Arit and Arit is arrested, then Mark will only need to push a button for her family company to go down, and she will be on the street in less than a week.

Mark didn’t have any need for Triston Transportation, so most of the shareholders in his company would see this as a frivolous and bad investment, but he would deal with that when the time came.

“I need to go to the office to meet with my godfather since we have a break from school. I need to check out something at the company.”

Arit looked up in surprise as she heard Mark talking about his company. Arit knew that Mark was the heir to a big company, but this was the first time that she was hearing him talking about going to the company to do anything, so it was very shocking for her. Sometimes, Mark was so nonchalant about his family’s multibillion-dollar company that Arit would forget that he was a second-generation young master. It was like that whiplash you get when you realize someone normal wasn’t normal at all after knowing them for a long time. Arit always felt like that when Mark talked about his company.

Arit asked Mark if everything was alright. Did something happen at the company that needed him to go there?

Mark waved away Arit’s concern and told her that everything was fine. It was just something political that he had to deal with before it got out of hand. Some of the shareholders were getting too confident in their own security, and they were beginning to question his right to the company, so it was time to cut them out.

Arit’s brow furrowed as she heard what Mark said. That definitely sounded like something serious! Why was Mark talking about it like it was nothing at all! They were trying to take his company away from him!

‘Those fools think they can steal from the KING! We should find them and bury them in molten lava! Tear their hands off and shove it up their asses!”

Keep quiet.

Arit didn’t react to QUEEN externally, and she just continued to eat as the voice stopped talking after she ordered it to calm down.

Arit realized that the issue with his company might actually be nothing at all to Mark. Since Mark has been dealing with Anima all this while, he must not see human issues as a threat anymore, and he just deals with them in the same manner no matter what it is. Arit sighed.

“Okay, but be careful. I also need to go out today; there is someone that I need to see.”

Mark hummed curiously as he looked at Arit. She was going to see someone? That was news to him.

“Is it something important?”

Arit quickly waved her hand.

“No! No! it’s nothing like that! I just… want to meet with a few friends.”

She was obviously lying.

Even before the system could bring up the prompt telling Mark that Arit was lying, he could already tell that she was lying. Arit had this strange quirk that she always exhibited whenever she was lying. Arit couldn’t look Mark in the eye, and there was a small blush that appeared on her face as she looked away. This was the same kind of look that a child would have when they were trying to hide something obvious from their parents! The blush was so small that Arit probably didn’t even know that she had it right now, but to Mark, it was as clear as day, and he felt his heart soften at how innocent Arit was. She was just too cute. She couldn’t even lie properly.

Arit could actually lie normally when she is talking to others, and she only behaves like this when she knows she is lying to Mark. Arit hates lying to Mark, and her subconscious automatically makes her feel so guilty that she can’t even look him in the eyes if she is lying to him!

Mark read through what the system wrote out for him, and he hummed internally before a small smile spread across his face once he realized what Arit was going to do.

“Alright, have fun.”

Arit turned to Mark with a glowing face, and she nodded with a wide smile as they continued to eat.

…

Mark was sitting at the back of a long Vanitas Limousine as he stared out the window at the passing scenery. Mark was wearing a black suit and tie that fit his form perfectly, and he had on a pair of sunglasses. There was a small frown on his face as he waited for them to reach his company, and he remembered the conversation that he had with his godfather earlier about the company. It appears that in order to keep up appearances, Mark has to arrive in a grand manner and show everyone that he is the one with the power in the company.

Hugo already called a meeting of all the major shareholders of the company, but Hugo did not tell them what the meeting was going to be about to make sure that Mark’s arrival would be a shock to them. Mark wasn’t a fan of all the pomp and pageantry that Hugo was putting into this just for his arrival, but since Hugo thought that it was a necessity, Mark was going to go along with it for now.

“Sir, here are the documents you asked me to gather. I placed the information about Triston Transportation in there as well for you to review.”

There was someone else sitting in the car with Mark. She was a mature woman that looked to be in her early forties. She wore black-rimmed glasses and had her black hair tied in a ponytail behind her. Her black skirt suit showed off her modest figure, and she had an air of professionalism around her that matched the best secretaries in the world.

Her name was Jane Kirsten, and she was the personal secretary that Hugo sent to retrieve Mark from his house. Mark was a little skeptical at first when Hugo told him that someone was going to come and get him from his house. Mark knows that people always had very intense reactions whenever they were near him since they knew that he was a superhuman. Mark did not want to know what sort of reaction they would have if they knew that he was the heir to the Vanitas Motors Franchise as well.

If women were throwing themselves at Mark now, they would start falling off buildings just to get a glimpse at him if they found out about that.

No, really, Mark had once seen a woman jump up a building just to touch an S-rank superhuman that was passing through the city. It was one of the funniest shit that Mark had ever seen in his life.
