Alpha Corp's second acquisition was completed as Leo bought the factory on Earth. To make it easier for the researchers, the factory was also in the same nation where Alpha Labs had been established.

It was the nation which had strangely formed a link with him, since it was also where he had his first villa, and even came across Kaelus.

So far, this nation had been a good luck charm for him, since he had lost quite a lot of money there. Without even realising it, he had started to expand Alpha Corp in the nation.

He sent the address of the factory to Picollo, along with the contact information of Glitzy Delivery Service for any transport needs.

The invisible clothes weren't ordinary clothes by any means. Instead of trying to understand the scientific mumbo-jumbo of how those naked pants worked in technicality, he sent the remaining funds to Picollo directly.

There was only one instruction that was left with the funds. It was that Picollo had to spend that massive funding in the next thirty days, no matter what.

He was allowed to use this funding to buy the things that would be used to create those pants and the clothing line on a large scale. He was even allowed to hire workers at a heavy salary that was unseen even in the city of Estefan.

Picollo was left with his mouth wide open as he saw the massive funding for this month. He was given over six hundred million credits.

Even though they weren't quite enough to buy large amounts of precious materials needed to mass produce these pants, he clenched his fist and made up his mind to make it possible.

While the researchers were working to finish the last bit of instability in the fabric, Picollo was sending mails to various industries, hoping to get discounts on the materials.

To his surprise, he was succeeding as well. For some unknown reason, all the companies that controlled, or produced the rare minerals needed, were going through problems.

Some had financial problems and were in urgent need of funds, while others were having issues with their orders getting cancelled.

Most importantly, all of them were in trouble since their largest investor, a descendent of Fiona Family, had pulled back all her funds after seeing their value fall.

Her withdrawal made their shares fall even more, and with that, the trust in the company was also faltering.

To get the deal, most of these companies were willing to give heavy discounts to the buyer from earth. With that, Picollo was able to get anywhere from twenty to forty percent discount on the purchase.

"Weren't they all big name companies? What could have made them so troubled that they agreed to give such a discount? Whatever, it's good for us!"

"With these materials, and the remaining funds, we might be able to make at least a thousand units of each clothing article from head to toe."

Picollo quickly rushed to the other researchers and gave them the good news.

Researchers worked day and night, while Picollo was busy settling down at the factory.

Glitzy was also not free, as they were transferring the materials and machines from various planets to Picollo's factory, albeit with their same brown ships.

Meanwhile, Leo had filed an application to change the name of the factory that he had acquired, bringing it under the umbrella term of Alpha Clothing.

Everything was moving swiftly, with Leo keeping an eye on every news that was coming from earth, to not miss something as massive as last time where his identity was exposed.

Just as he thought, in the upper echelon of earth, chatter had started about Alpha Corp's latest acquisition.

Many were wondering what Alpha Corp was planning now. Was it truly trying to enter the competitive market of fashionable attire?

Everything was going as per plan. In fact, he even hired the troll farm to hype up Alpha Clothing, trying to bring up the hype so that the people would be more disappointed and angry when the products finally came out.

And just like that, three weeks of the month had passed, and the renovation at the factory was completed.

At around the same time, the researchers also completed removing any flaws from the threads, and found the perfect way to merge all materials, even coming up with entirely new fusion methods in the process.

....

Leo was looking at his glass slab, receiving a message from Picollo that today, they were finally creating the first prototype. If it was a success, they could send it for further testing, and then start mass production.

"No need for any further testing. If the prototype works, start production right away! We only have one week!" Leo fired a message back, before tossing the phone on the couch next to him.

He was covered in multiple pieces of winter attire. Just on the top half of his body, he was wearing three jackets and a thick insulating jacket on top, yet he was still shivering.

The layer of snow in the landscape had become even thicker, and there was no sign of a sunrise. In the last two days, snow hadn't stopped falling for even a second.

"Can the people of this world truly survive this winter? Should I do something to help them?"

Leo wondered, looking at the buildings in the distance, only a few of which were still glittering with lights compared to the first time he came here.

At this moment, he remembered reading something online. "Evolution can truly be brutal. But it's also an opportunity for a civilization to shed their weaknesses and step into a higher realm..."

"Is this planet taking its first step into becoming a mid-rank planet?" he mumbled, frowning. "I truly wonder what that future will look like. Am I having a first person view of a low tier planet's evolution?"

He turned around and walked back inside the villa, closing the glass door, even as the snowfall outside intensified.

His back was facing the snowfall. He didn't see a bright beam of light shooting into the sky from a distance, disappearing in an instant.
