I.. Am God?-Chapter 179 Meddling With The Nephew’s Lovelife

After thinking for a while, Andre whipped out his phone and quickly installed Twitter, which made Cris grin again. After a few knicks and knacks and other processes, he finally created an account of his.

[ándras; @ouroboros01]

He then gazed at his phone for a few minutes, and looked at Cris, "Can I message someone here?"

Seeing his dumbfounded look, Cris laughed so hard that he clutched his stomach while slamming the table. Andre just glared at him while he did so. "Just answer my goddamn question, old man!" The frustrated Andre yelled.

The old man wiped his eyes off of tears and breathed in and out, calming himself down, "It's like this.." f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

After being taught by Cris, Andre immediately searched in the app and clicked on a user, then followed it.

He then sent a message to the Twitter account before placing down the phone with relief.

"What did you do?" Cris asked curiously.

"I messaged him. Just letting him remember that he had an uncle." Andre's lips curved up on one side as he glanced at the phone.

Quezon City, Philippines.

Inside a wide apartment, a breathtakingly beautiful man in his mid-twenties sat on the sofa while holding a Gibson Les Paul guitar in his arms. He caressed the guitar with love as he muttered, "Promise, I'll get you back, Madison. Just wait for me."

Suddenly, his phone vibrated beside him. He picked it up and looked at the message. He first thought it was a message from a fan on Twitter, so he just planned to look at it, but when he saw the message, his eyes widened as he read it.

[How have you been, Little Cal? Have you forgotten about this uncle of yours?]

Calcifer quickly clicked the profile of the person and saw his name. "Uncle Andre?"

Back in Antarctica.

[Uncle Andre! It's been years! How have you been?]

Andre smiled while reading the message. [Yes, it's been years. How come you never told me about that girl problem of yours? I could've helped you, you know? I gave you my number years ago, didn't you save it or even just write it?]

[Heh. I forgot about having your number. You gave it to me when I was 6! How was I supposed to know what to do with that number at that time?]

Seeing that, Andre laughed and typed another reply. [Oh, right. Hahahahaha!]

[I'm going to ask you a question, Cal.]

[What is it, Uncle?]

[Do you really love that woman?]

As soon as Andre sent that message, Calcifer didn't even hesitate to reply back, [Yes.]

[Then, I'm giving you a chance. Use it well.]

After Andre sent that message, he didn't look at any of Calcifer's questions and messages as he immediately dialed a number. "Romualdez, I want you to do something."

"What is it, Mr. Enigma?" The man on the other side of the phone call asked.

"It's regarding the Zeon Group of the late Terensio Santos.." Andre explained everything that he wanted to Romualdez in the call.

In the Philippines. Although the life of the common people is normal inside the country, with not much chaos happening between the citizens, there are still the boundaries between the poor, the well-off, and the rich existing, creating the strata that separates the three classes, as it goes, it's not just the Philippines, but the whole world.

Although there's not really much of an issue regarding the ranks, there still exists some discrimination between the three groups because of their difference in statuses.

That is definitely the case between the two lower strata and the wealthy, with the wealthy families looking at their lower counterparts with displeasure and even disgust.

Because of this, the love between the wealthy and one of the lower spheres of society is looked upon by many as "nigh impossible" and "just a dream".

One of the couples that became victims of these norms were Calcifer Santos and Madison Mendoza. A singer, songwriter, and a guitarist, loving an heiress of a family that owns several hospitals and pharmacies in the country was seen as an utter joke by the woman's father.

With that in mind, her father sent Madison to the States to "get her degree in the study of medicine", thus leaving Calcifer alone in the country. Without the woman he loved so much, Calcifer suffered inside, thinking that his girl left him without a word because the love that they have wasn't present anymore. Suffering through intense melancholy, he persevered and expressed his deep pain through writing songs and singing.

He performed and performed, and finally became well-known across the world. One day, someone messaged him that the woman that he loved didn't willingly go, and instead was pressured by her father. Having that knowledge, Calcifer stood up and promised to the whole wide world that he will get his woman back.

Calcifer looked at the last message of his uncle with puzzlement as he wondered what "chance" he was talking about. He sent a couple messages, asking for what it was, and after not receiving another message for a couple of minutes, he placed his phone down and closed his eyes to rest.

Hours later, he woke up and opened his phone to see if his uncle had sent a reply, but found none. What he found was a text from their manager and friend.

[Calcifer, answer! Look at the news!] Wondering what his manager was talking about, he picked up the remote for the television and turned it on to look.

He was then startled when he saw what was happening on the news. "In July 21st of this year, the international company Gaius Group expressed interest with the Mendoza Hospitals and Pharmaceuticals and decided to invest a total amount of 30 Million Dollars, granting the international group a total of 45% of all of the Mendoza businesses' shares. The Gaius Group and the Mendoza's have also started joint projects together that amount to a total of 300 Million Dollars, researching on various medicines and technologies that would potentially push forward the technological equipment advancement inside hospitals around the world by twenty years."

"But just this morning, the group halted their supply support towards the Mendoza's. Majority of the shareholders have also expressed their unwillingness to help the Mendoza's regarding the recent issues, placing the Mendoza's in a very tight situation. The Gaius Group also seemed to suppress the company due to unknown reasons."

"Speculations point to the issue regarding the relationship between R4's Singer, guitarist, and composer Calcifer Santos and the current president's daughter Madison Mendoza, but the speculation is still unconfirmed."

"The current president's wife, spokesperson of the Mendoza Hospitals and Pharmaceuticals, asks for a reason for Gaius' actions and states that they would do all that they can to solve the problems that are currently assailing them in their recent press release. For now, we haven't received a response from the Gaius Group on the matter."

"What the hell?" Calcifer gaspes with shock. His phone then vibrated. He looked at it and saw a message from his uncle. [09~~~~~~~~~~]

He pressed the number, copied it, and dialed the number. Immediately, the call was answered as a deep and charismatic voice sounded, "Hello there, Nephew Cal. Did you see the news?"

"You're the one who did that, Uncle?" Calcifer asked. He heard a mhmm from Andre as the latter answered, "Yes, I did. Why? Don't you like it?"

"Uncle, I know you want to help, but please, not like this." Calcifer sighed, "Mady is definitely affected because of this, and she would maybe be stressed out."

"But, we're still approaching the exciting part." Andre chuckled. "What do you mean?" Calcifer asked nervously.

"I see that you did not like what I did, so I'll order them to stop suppressing the Mendoza's, but in turn, I'm sending you a gift from your great-great-grandfather. Manage that gift well and use it wisely. I'm also going to support you from behind, and I'm expecting to be invited as a godfather in your wedding, okay?" Andre giggled and ended the call. After that, he sent a compressed file to Calcifer and waited for his response with the matter.

In the Philippines, Calcifer clicked the file that Andre sent him although he was still baffled by his Uncle ending the call so suddenly. He then extracted the file and after doing so, saw two separate documents. Clicking on the first one, he saw that it was a document that has information about the Zeon Group of Companies. Although he was puzzled, he continued to read the document, with information of the shareholders, executives, businesses that it holds, and the chief executive officer of the entire group.

He was impressed with the size of the group and how good at managing the executives are. Although he thought that there could be some improvements here and there, he evaluated the group as a very successful one that could be considered a giant here in the Philippines.
