CHAPTER 20
The showroom had fallen into an uncomfortable silence.Victoria stood frozen, her earlier confidence completely gone. The two security guards looked as though they wished the polished floor would open beneath their feet.Lucas, meanwhile, remained perfectly calm.Richard turned towards the entrance when a group of men hurried inside.The man leading them was in his early fifties, tall and broad-shouldered, with neatly combed silver hair and a well-tailored charcoal suit. His expression was serious, and his eyes immediately settled on Lucas.“Mr. Bennett,” the older man greeted, approaching quickly. “I am Theodore Sterling, the owner of Imperial Motors. This is Graham Wells, our general manager.”He extended his hand.Lucas shook it.“I'm sorry you had to experience such treatment at my establishment,” Theodore continued. “Richard informed me of everything that happened. I also owe you an apology, Mr. Whitmore. You came here personally on my recommendation, and my employees treated you
CHAPTER 19
One of the guards immediately stepped aside, although he still wore an amused expression.Emily led Lucas into the showroom.The interior was just as impressive as the exterior. Polished marble floors reflected the overhead lighting, and carefully arranged vehicles stood beneath individual spotlights. The atmosphere was quiet and exclusive, with a few customers speaking to sales consultants in private viewing areas.Emily picked up her tablet."We have several beautiful vehicles available at more accessible prices. I can show you some of our premium sedans and SUVs first. They're excellent choices, and we also have a few models available for immediate delivery."Lucas glanced at the cars she was indicating.They were certainly expensive by ordinary standards, but none of them interested him."Do you have anything more exclusive?"Emily paused."Of course. We have other collections, but some of those vehicles require special arrangements.""Then show me those."She looked at him uncert
CHAPTER 18
The following morning, Lucas left Aurelius Estate in a simple black sedan.He wore a plain dark shirt, black trousers and a pair of comfortable shoes. There was nothing particularly expensive or attention-grabbing about his appearance, and that was exactly how he preferred it.He wasn't interested in dressing up just to visit a car showroom.Besides, he was going there to buy cars, not impress anyone with his clothes.After following the address Richard had sent him, Lucas eventually arrived at Imperial Motors.The building was impossible to miss.Its enormous glass frontage rose several floors above the road, framed by polished black stone and silver metalwork. The company name was displayed prominently above the entrance, while an impressive collection of luxury vehicles could be seen through the tinted glass.Even from outside, the place looked more like a private automotive gallery than an ordinary dealership.Lucas parked his car and stepped out.He had barely approached the entr
CHAPTER 17
A few hours later, Alistair returned to Lucas's private suite."Sir, Mr. Whitmore has arrived and is waiting in the formal conversation room."Lucas put down his phone and stood up."All right. I'll see him now.""Certainly, sir."Alistair led the way through the mansion's corridors, passing several elegantly decorated spaces before arriving at the formal conversation room.Richard Whitmore was already seated when they entered. He immediately rose to his feet when he saw Lucas."Good evening, sir.""Good evening, Richard. Please, have a seat.""Thank you, sir."Lucas settled into one of the comfortable armchairs while Alistair arranged refreshments on the nearby table.Once everything was ready, Lucas gestured for Richard to sit properly."I called you here because there's something I need your help with.""Of course, sir. How may I assist you?""I need a personal assistant."Richard nodded, waiting for him to continue."Not just someone who handles appointments and answers phone call
CHAPTER 16
A translucent blue screen appeared before Lucas.[Before introducing your next mission, the System has prepared an additional reward for you.]"Another reward?" Lucas raised an eyebrow.[Indeed, Host. Considering your current financial standing and the lifestyle you are expected to maintain, an ordinary bank card would be inconvenient. The rewards provided by the System are intended to meet your immediate needs.]The screen changed.[NEW REWARD: UNLIMITED BLACK CARD.]A sleek black card appeared before him, its surface made of dark metallic material with elegant gold detailing. Its design was simple, yet its craftsmanship gave it an unmistakably luxurious appearance.Lucas examined it with interest."An Unlimited Black Card? I can claim it now, right?"[Correct, Host. This card is connected directly to your existing bank account and carries no conventional transaction or spending limits. It supports high-value purchases internationally and automatically handles the necessary payment v
CHAPTER 15
“The recreational facilities include a football pitch, tennis and basketball courts, an indoor sports hall, a private cinema, a bowling alley, billiards, and a games room. There is also a dedicated event hall with a capacity of approximately two hundred guests.” “Two hundred?” Lucas asked. “Yes, sir. It was designed for exclusive private celebrations, formal banquets, business gatherings, and parties hosted by the owner. It has its own reception area, dining arrangements, and professional event facilities. The venue is intended for private use rather than public bookings.” A satisfied smile crossed Lucas's face. “That sounds useful. If I'm going to host a party, I want somewhere worth inviting people to.” “I'm certain your guests will appreciate it, sir.” Richard continued with the remaining facilities. “The estate also has its own private equestrian centre. The stable complex includes individual horse stalls, grooming and washing areas, tack rooms, feed storage, and ded
