The World Is Mine For The Taking Chapter 847 - 131 - Running A Company Is Hard, But So Does B

Leon’s POV

The biggest company in the world was—without any shred of doubt—mine.

It wasn’t just so corporate giant that sold flashy products. No... this was the beating heart of innovation itself. My company had reshaped the world in ways people could barely wrap their heads around. Smartphones, advanced devices, sleek modern cars... we didn’t just sell them—we defined them. Even the way cities looked, the way roads were built, the way establishnts were designed, all of it had my fingerprints on it. The kind of influence we had wasn’t just economic—it was cultural, technological, and deeply woven into everyday life.

And with that kind of dominance, enemies were inevitable.

Rivals ca at us like vultures circling a fresh kill—trying to disrupt the status quo, to exploit any weakness, to steal secrets, or to snatch our formulas. But every single one of them learned the sa brutal truth: you couldn’t steal from us. Not when the Shadows were stationed at every vulnerable point, ready to end an intruder’s life in the blink of an eye. Not when we had elite warriors like Aegis—the elven archer whose arrows never missed—and Zes, a lieutenant from another world, guarding the gates of Leonamon like immovable sentinels.

My connection with Aegis... well, let’s just say it was strained. She didn’t exactly hide her dislike for . But the mont the conversation turned to freeing her kin from chains, from the cruelty of slavery, she was all in.

Artemis had been relentless in tracking down every elf who’d been sold into bondage, pulling them out of that nightmare one by one. I was at her side in that mission.

With my network of information spread across continents, the job beca far simpler. My information departnt was a machine that never slept, and when I set it in motion, it delivered results faster than anyone else could dream of.

Even Aegis, though still salty, worked with . And I understood why she was bitter—she loved Artemis. Or maybe "loved" wasn’t quite right. She still loves her. Which is exactly why she’s so angry that I was the one who took Artemis’s virginity. Too bad for her, though—Artemis doesn’t swing that way.

Zes was a different story. Our relationship was straightforward. She wasn’t complicated, but she was... clingy.

She was gorgeous—built like a warrior, with the solid, powerful fra of soone who had lived her life on the battlefield. Like Rose in certain ways, though Rose’s body was leaner, firr, without the sa bulk. Zes’s physique was sculpted with muscle, strength radiating from every line of her form. And damn if she wasn’t attractive. Truth be told, I wanted to fuck her.

Yet sohow, despite her practically throwing the invitation at , I never found the ti.

The truth was, my life was overflowing with won now. The numbers had exploded beyond anything I’d ever imagined. I’d already claid every mber of the Shadows, the Starry Knights, and plenty more. Maybe that was why I hadn’t given Zes the attention she was clearly ready to offer.

Maybe... it was ti I started making a schedule.

That thought barely settled before the door to my office burst open.

"Master."

It was Maya—a woman from the ram beast race, dressed neatly as always in her maid uniform.

"Lady Gabrielle is already giving birth," she said.

The mont the words left her mouth, my body moved on instinct. My mind went blank except for one thought—Gabrielle.

I didn’t even know what emotion was supposed to co next. Anxious? Overjoyed? Nervous? I couldn’t pin it down. This was my first ti about to beco a father... so of course my chest felt tight with sothing I couldn’t na.

"Happy" was far too small a word. The feeling was so much deeper and heavier—like a storm in my chest, but a warm one.

I didn’t make it in ti to witness the birth, but the mont I stepped inside, I heard it—the sharp, beautiful cry of a newborn.

Amon was there, holding the small bundle wrapped in a towel. Gabrielle lay on the bed, completely drained, her face pale but peaceful.

Irene and Rose were beside her, both looking like they’d been through an ordeal themselves. But I could see it in their eyes—everything had gone perfectly.

"Here she is, Master," Amon said softly, stepping forward and holding the child toward . Not "it." She.

My daughter. Our daughter.

The words "my daughter" echoed in my head, each repetition hitting deeper than the last. A wave of emotion surged up, tightening my throat.

I stepped closer to Gabrielle so she could see her.

"Fufufufu~ Master, what do you think? Isn’t she precious?" Gabrielle asked, her voice weak but filled with pride.

"Yes... she is," I murmured.

The little one was already sleeping soundly, her breathing steady and light. She radiated life, a pure and untainted presence in my arms. The weight of her was grounding and surreal all at once.

"What would you like to na her?" Gabrielle asked.

I’d thought about it for a while. At first, I had no clue what to choose. But the more I considered it, the more one na kept coming back to —a na from my past life.

"Kana," I said quietly. "Is that fine with you?"

"Yes," Gabrielle whispered, resting her head against my shoulder.

And just like that, my daughter was nad Kana.

Kana was perfect. There was no complications, no health issues, as well as no danger to her mother’s life. That in itself was a blessing I didn’t take lightly.

Still, seeing her... seeing a piece of , a life that ca from , breathing and existing in this world—it was overwhelming in a way I couldn’t fully put into words.

I guess that was the mont I truly felt it.

I wasn’t just soone living in this world anymore.

I belonged to it.

Sure, I still had unfinished business in my old world. But for now?

For now, I just wanted to stay in this mont. To let this feeling sink in, and hold it for as long as I could.
