Building the Future
(3rd Person P. O. V)
Olive, Xavier, and Elena sat at the head of the conference table, with representatives from the four most famous construction companies seated around them. They had all gathered in Xavier’s spacious office to discuss the construction of their new pack house and the accompanying structures for their territories.
Xavier opened up a joint map of their territories and newly gained territory, laying it out on the table for everyone to see. He pointed to the space in the middle of the territories and spoke, “This is where we want to build our main pack house. We envision a mansion with 250 rooms, including our personal and guest rooms, with attached washrooms, closets, and dressing rooms, will need three offices, three libraries, one main and three small kitchens, four gyms or training rooms, and four big theater rooms. We want two open swimming pools, five store rooms, four conference rooms, one maid chamber, five garages, two vast gardens, four vast living halls, and party halls.”
The representatives nodded, their pens poised over their notebooks.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“We will need one underground prison to keep any prisoners we might capture. There will be five secret tunnels, two will connect to the other pack houses. The third tunnel will lead to the safe house we plan to build on our newly gained territory.”
“Near to the main pack house, we want to build two other pack houses. On the left side will be my pack house, and on the right side will be Oliver’s. They will have the same structure as our previous pack house. We will provide you with the blueprint for that. But make sure that both the pack house has 3 underground tunnels. One goes the to main pack house, another goes to another pack house and the last one goes to the safe house.”
“Besides them will be the house of our subordinates near our other pack houses, which will join this empty area in the forest and our pack territory. We want you to build a one-pack hospital near the three-pack house. Two pack hospitals near the left side between the houses of my subordinates, on the right side of my territory, and two on the left side on the left side of Xavier’s territory. We want other10 pack hospitals in our territory.” Oliver said, pointing at the map laid out on the table, showing the locations where they wanted to build them.
“We also want to build another house from here to here, “Xavier said, pointing his finger at the map lying on the table, showing the borders that joined their territories.
One representative spoke up. “This is a massive undertaking. It will take a lot of time and resources to construct something of this scale.”
Xavier nodded. “I understand. That’s why I called four of the famous construction companies to take over this project.”
“We don’t want to rush you to complete this project in a few months. Xavier and I are well aware of how huge this project is and how long will it take to complete this project. We are here to provide help with material and manpower if you are required from our side. I believe if we planned everything out and worked according to the plan. It will be over sooner than we realize.” Oliver assures the representative.
“Oliver and I can always hire another company to give you a hand,” Xavier proposed.
The representatives conferred among themselves, and after a few moments, they turned back to Xavier and nodded.
“We can do it,” one of them said.
“It will take a lot of planning and coordination. We need to work closely together to make this happen.”
“It’s okay, we understand. Take your time. We are not in a rush.”
“You said you also like to build a safe house on your newly gained territory. How would you like to build it?” one of the representatives of the company asked.
“We want to build two defensive safe houses surrounded by five offensive safe houses. Each defensive house must comprise 450 rooms with an attached washroom and closet, 5 store rooms, 5 theaters, 5 game rooms, 1 main and 3 small kitchens, 1 main and 4 small halls. Each Offensive safe house contains 100 rooms attached with washroom and closet, 3 store rooms, 2 kitchens.” Xavier said, and the representative noted down everything in their notebook. After that, they discuss the blueprints of the safe house.
“Where do you think we should begin with?” one of the representatives asked to them.
“Your first priorities should be the main pack house and safe house. Second priority will be houses near the borders, third will be the other pack houses and the pack hospitals, and last priority will be the houses of our subordinates.”
“If you built your subordinates’ houses in the last, then where will they live until then?” Elena asked.
“They have their own house and there is a packed house too,” Oliver said to her.
“Besides, our main pack house will be big enough to accommodate them for the time being until their house is ready,” Xavier assures her.
“How are you planning to make the payment?” one of the representative asks getting their attention to himself.
“We were going to need the advanced payment to arrange for the material and labor,”
“Yes. Xavier and I have thought about it. We have concluded that we will make fifty percent now as the advance payment and fifty after the work is done,”
“Calculate the cost and let me know.”
Everyone agreed with Oliver and Xavier. The 4 representatives decided on a time and place to meet before finally departing. Xavier, Oliver, and Elena breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the meeting had gone smoothly.
They were relaxing in their seats when two interior designers arrived, ready to discuss the interior design of the main pack house. They went over the plans and discussed different color schemes, furniture options, and decorative accents.
But just as they were getting into the nitty-gritty of the design, Xavier’s phone rang. It was his third in command on the line, informing him they had just received a letter from the elder committee.
Xavier’s face grew serious, and he exchanged a worried look with Oliver.
“I’m sorry, we have to leave,” Xavier said to the interior designers.
“Something urgent has come up, and we have to attend to it immediately.”
The interior designers nodded understandingly, and they agreed to meet again at a later date to continue the discussion.
“What happened?” Elena asked as soon as the interior designer left the office.
“We have received a letter from the elder committee summoning us, after three days,”
“Well, that was fast. They moved faster than I thought,”
“Did you get any answer regarding this matter from your aunt?”
“No,”
“Then what should we do now?”
“Let’s go to your home and discuss this.”
They all headed to the Oliver’s house to discuss this matter. At the end of the meeting, they decided it would be better to introduce Elena to the pack after the meeting with the Elder and announce the news of the merging of two packs, and the packs they have alliances with.
It would be better if they found out about this matter from them instead of someone else. But Xavier thought otherwise, he thought the other packs wouldn’t help him or even go against them if the elder committee declared war against them. But he didn’t want to make others as scared or nervous as they already are. He keeps his mouth shut. And go with the flow, hoping that his aunt will come up with a solution soon and nothing worse happened to him or his pack. Meanwhile, Oliver’s father also said he would also look in their pack’s library.
