CHAPTER 184
Ethan was eager to free himself for the arrival of a wealthy investor who intended to acquire a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He had no idea that the supposed big shot he was so anxious to impress was standing less than a meter away from him.Dylan had not expected the receptionist to treat him like an important client merely because he was wealthy, but he had expected a law firm of this reputation to judge a prospective client by the nature of his inquiry rather than the appearance of his clothes.Ethan had managed to disappoint him before the consultation had even begun.“Fine,” Rachel said at last, clearly unwilling to argue further. “I'll see whether someone else can take him.”Ethan gave a curt nod and walked away, already checking his phone as though the entire matter had been settled.Rachel turned toward Dylan, her expression softening.“I'm sorry about that, Mr. Kingston. I'll find someone else who can assist you.”“That's all right,” Dylan replied. “Take you
CHAPTER 183
Several hours later, Dylan arrived at the address Grace had provided. The law firm occupied several floors of an imposing commercial building in one of the city's most expensive business districts. Its exterior was a combination of polished stone, tinted glass, and carefully maintained landscaping, giving it the kind of understated elegance favored by institutions that preferred their reputation to speak louder than their advertising. A discreet sign near the entrance displayed the firm's name in silver lettering. Dylan stepped through the glass doors and entered a spacious lobby. The first thing he noticed was the atmosphere. Everything appeared meticulously organized, from the polished marble floor to the comfortable seating arranged beside the reception desk. Business executives in tailored suits moved through the lobby with briefcases in hand, while visitors sat quietly waiting for appointments. A few lawyers crossed between the elevators and a corridor leading toward a ro
CHAPTER 182
The following morning, Dylan Kingston woke up to the familiar notification of his Daily Sign-In Rewards System. [DING! Daily sign-in successful!] [Congratulations, Host! You have received today's reward: Legendary Business Acumen Skill.] [Would you like to claim your reward now?] Dylan, who had barely finished stretching his arms, immediately sat up in bed. Although he had grown accustomed to receiving extraordinary rewards from the system, the description of this particular skill caught his attention. Business acumen? Considering his plans for Nexora Systems and his ambition to establish a technology empire, the timing could hardly have been better. “Claim the reward,” he instructed without hesitation. [DING! Reward claimed successfully!] [Legendary Business Acumen Skill is being integrated into the host's consciousness.] The instant the notification disappeared, an indescribable sensation washed over Dylan's mind. It began as a faint tingling behind his forehead before sp
CHAPTER 181
Dylan raised an eyebrow. “What would be the advantage of that?” “A separate acquisition company can make the ownership structure easier to manage, depending on your plans. It may also help separate the transaction's financing and obligations from your other investments. But it isn't automatically the best choice for everyone. The lawyers and tax advisers would need to consider the circumstances before recommending a structure.” She gave him a knowing smile. “I don't want to overwhelm you with all the technical details today. The important thing is that you don't have to settle every question before we begin. We can identify the decisions that need to be made and bring in the right professionals when necessary.” Dylan appreciated her approach. She was explaining the process without treating him like an inexperienced child, even though this would be his first major acquisition. “Would your team also help me negotiate with Nexora's owners?” he asked. “We can assist with the financi
CHAPTER 180
Grace Morgan turned the document she had been reviewing toward herself and placed it neatly beside her keyboard. Rather than immediately launching into a complicated explanation, she leaned back in her chair and regarded Dylan with the professional curiosity of someone who had seen wealthy clients make all sorts of investments, from purchasing commercial properties to acquiring established businesses. “Honestly, Mr. Kingston, I think it's a good idea,” she said. “Provided you approach it properly, acquiring an existing company could be a very effective way to enter an industry without having to build everything from the ground up.” Dylan rested one arm on the chair and nodded. “That is part of what interests me. Nexora already has products, employees, patents, and customers. If the company has a solid foundation beneath its current problems, I would rather improve what already exists than spend years trying to establish the same things myself.” “Exactly.” Grace smiled. “But there
CHAPTER 179
After returning Luke to the dormitory and making sure he was comfortably settled, Dylan collected his belongings and headed back to the parking area. He had initially planned to spend more time checking on his friend, but Luke was in good spirits and had everything he needed within reach. Ryan was also expected to return later, so Dylan felt comfortable leaving him for a while. Once he reached his Benz, he climbed into the driver's seat, started the engine, and drove away from Westbridge University. His destination was the bank. The traffic was manageable, and after a smooth drive, he arrived at the branch where Grace Morgan had arranged to meet him. He parked the car, entered the building, and was promptly greeted by a member of the reception staff. After confirming his appointment, Dylan was escorted to Grace's office. The moment she saw him enter, Grace rose from her chair with a welcoming smile. "Mr. Kingston! It's good to see you again." "Good afternoon, Grace." "Please,
