Miss Julian headed towards the elevator still in shock, and picked up the phone to call the directing board.

"I need to speak with the board, immediately," she said, trying to composed herself.

Miss Julian was only allowed to the directing board conferences on special occasions and she doesn't get to choose when to and not to. The conference meeting are mainly for shareholders with exceedingly high shares.

So when Miss Julian requested to speak to the directing board physically. It was going to be a difficult request that might take days to be process.

But when they heard about someone proposing to buy the Bank, they had no choice than to let her in.

A few minutes later, Julian got out on the elevator at the 30th floor and walked into the conference room where the directing board was seated.

The hall was sleek and spacious, with a well ventilation, complimented by the floor-to-ceiling windows adoring the wall of the hall. The hall was a true definition of luxury.

Powerful figures sat across the plush chairs as they stared at Julian stepping into the conference hall.

Among the three seated shareholders, a person known as Daniel Woodson stood up and welcomed Julian respectfully. He was the youngest and almost same age as Julian.

"Welcome Miss Julian." He gestured graciously at the plush chairs, his hand extending in a gentle invitation.

Daniel Woodson has been known in Stone City as one of the sons of the most powerful figures and they can get anything they want, anytime they wants it. But it has become a difficult act to get Julian to bed. Regardless of his promises, Julian had kept it all professional.

"A kind gesture isn't your thing, Woodson," A man believed to in his 40s; Scott Hudson said, and the other giggled alongside.

Julian just pretended she didn't understand what they were saying. She just have to play it cool and keep it professional as she doesn't want to offend any of this big families.

Though she knew all the advances Daniel Woodson have been throwing at her can actually get her the life she needed, but she have been politely rejecting, even after Daniel voted for her to become a Bank Manager.

"So why the urgent call? And the proposal?"Douglas Splawn spoked. His voice boomed through hall. It was attention commanding.

"Sirs, I have a...an important proposal here. A customer has expressed interest in buying the bank." Julian started instantly.

The room fell silent, with all eyes fixated on Julian. One of the board members tapped a bottom on the boardroom table.

"Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Curry are not in the meeting today and we will like you to repeat what you just said, so they can hear you clearly." Douglas said.

"Did he say he want to buy the Bank?" Daniel Woodson asked with almost a calm voice as she stare at Julian with a smirk.

Julian nodded, "Yes, sir. That's exactly what he said. And he seems quite serious about it."

The room erupted into a mixture of shock, amusement, and confusion.

"This is absurd," Mr. Taylor exclaimed through the speakers. "We can't just sell the bank to anyone who walks in off the street."

Mr. Scott leaned forward, "I think we should at least hear him out. It's not every day we get an offer like this. Julian, can you bring him in?"

"Really? You just gonna bring a random stranger into a conference meeting? That's against our policy." Mr. Taylor expressed over the phone.

"He's not just a random stranger... He's currently our VIP customer. He made a withdrawal of $10 Million in one fold."

"$10 Million...?" They all gasped.

"Wait a minute, who is this person making such a massive offer? What's his background?" Mr. Taylor asked over the phone.

Julian, who had been quietly observing the conversation, spoke up.

"Actually, sir, I did a quick background check on him. His name is Dylan, and he's...a student. That was all on him. Nothing more."

The room fell silent, with the directing board exchanging skeptical glances.

"A student?" Taylor repeated over the phone, "How old is he?"

Julian hesitated before answering. "I think he's...21?"

The directing board burst out laughing, their initial skepticism now replaced with outright amusement. "A 21-year-old student wants to buy our bank worth tens of billions?" Daniel Woodson chuckled.

"This is ridiculous. He must be joking... And Miss Julian, you believed him? Don't tell me you don't know you're a bank manager." Douglas rained on her aggressively.

This was an opportunity to get back at her for refusing to lay with him.

Almost all the shareholders doesn't like Julian at all, because they haven't had their way with her in bed already. Only Daniel Woodson doesn't want to give up or else she might have been demoted the very moment Daniel stopped pushing.

The only indifferent person who keeps it professional was Scott Hudson.

They were all waiting for Taylor's objective response, but he murmured in disbelief. He doesn't know any powerful family with such name. It's doesn't seem like a name he knows.

"So, are we all on the same page here?" Scott asked, his eyes scanning the room for a response. "Are we actually considering selling?"

No one gave a befitting response, they were just murmuring while waiting for Taylor and Mrs. Curry's response since they have almost equal shares after Mr. Scott Hudson.

"I standing clear with Mr. Scott, whatever your decision is... I'm in. Don't have any business at hand that needs quick funding though. So whatever your decision is." Mrs Curry expressed over the phone.

"That's a done deal already..." Daniel giggled as she winked at Julian. "You two shares put together is more than ours, so the ball is in your court Scott." He hasn't said a word without smiling and staring at Julian.

Julian forcefully smiled whenever Daniel stared at her. Pretending it doesn't freak her out was what made her stood out of others that were agitating for the same managing position and many have been laid without getting the position.

"We are selling then. We've made tens of billions as profit already and we will be swimming in more profit if we sell now. Let's sell for $20 Billion, What do you all think?" Scott proposed.

"A student who is just 21 can fork out $20 Billion at once? That's an outrageous amount of money." Taylor expressed his doubts.

"A student who can withdraw $10 Million at once is worth looking into. Might be one of those wealthy clandestine folks. I'm hoping to get to know him if it's a done deal." Scott shrugged.

The discussion was heated, with some board members arguing that the offer was too low, while others believed it was a fair price.

After what felt like an eternity, the directing board finally agreed on a fixed price.

"Tell him it's $22 Billion, fixed price." Scott spoke and dismissed Julian.

    Dylan stared at the message for a moment and his hand instantly curled into a fist.The more he read, the more the fury burning hot inside him. His body was running at its peak at the moment. It was like every skill in his body was activated at once, but it was the surge of the new upgrade.Focus...!!!AndLethal Rage...!!!Was all written all over his face.โ€œHe wants a final reckoning?โ€ he muttered coldly with a steamed up face.โ€œThen Iโ€™ll give them one.โ€Austin noticed his stillness and rage. โ€œWhoโ€™s that? Whatโ€™s going on?โ€Dylanโ€™s phone screen dimmed as he slid it into his pocket. โ€œItโ€™s nothing you need to worry about... I will handle it.โ€โ€œNothing....?!โ€ Austinโ€™s voice cracked. โ€œYou just got a text from someone and all of a sudden your face is flaming up in anger, and Nicoleโ€™s being threatened! And you're telling me it's nothing? What the hell is happening, Dylan?โ€Dylan finally looked at him, and for a moment, Austin froze.His friendโ€™s eyes that were normally warm but now they we

    Dylan looked down at his body and he could feel the systemโ€™s upgrades had already begun altering him physically. His muscles had become much denser and his skin faintly glowed. Every blood his heart pump was like a surge of energy invigorating his body. Even Dylan himself was amazed with his reflection in the window. Indeed, the system has morphed him into a superior version of himself.Then....BAM...!!!Instantly, the door burst open.โ€œDylan?!โ€Austin stormed in with his face flushed with fear. But the moment his eyes landed on Dylan, that fear twisted into pure confusion. His mouth was slightly open with his eyes darting as if trying to make sense of what he was seeing.Confusion wasnโ€™t just on Austin's face... Confusion was his face. Anyone who looked at him could see it written there loud and clear.โ€œWhat... what is this?โ€ Austin muttered, taking a cautious step forward. โ€œDylanโ€ฆ what happened to you?โ€Dylan turned slowly with calmness. The glow from the upgrade instantly faded

    "Is the wealth really infinite? There's no end to the upgrade?" Dylan was just wondering and scrutinizing the whole system until another notification popped in.โ˜… AI ASSISTANT UNLOCKED (LEVEL 1)โ˜…Available Functions:โ€ข Threat detection (Basic level)โ€ข Skill-synergy suggestion (Basic level)โ€ข Basic TasksNOTE:::Full access to the AI Assistant is currently restricted.

Dylan asked with a smile slowly creeping across his face"YES!" a bold text instantly appeared on the screen.โ€œWow, this is awesome.โ€ Dylan thought to himself, but a wild smile masked his face like someone who just hit a jackpot. Actually, this was more than a jackp

    โ€œYes...? Are you seriously just going to stand there and say nothing?โ€ Austin raised an eyebrow, half-laughing in disbelief. โ€œCome on, manโ€ฆ spill it already.โ€His mind was already racing, practically begging Dylan to just confirm what he had started to suspect about him having an origin of some insanely rich, secretive and aristocratic family with connections all over the world. That would at least explain the mansion, the car, the fighting skills, and the mysterious aura he constantly gave off.โ€œI mean, at this point, you could tell me you run the country and I wouldnโ€™t even flinch,โ€ Austin added, folding his arms. โ€œSo whatโ€™s the truth? Who are you really?โ€ Austin pressed on.Dylan had made up his mind to tell him and only him. But it's not possible to tell Austin and Barry doesn't get to know in the end. They tell one another things and whatever he says now will be circulated through the Tripods.The thought crushed on him.No....Not yet...!Some truths are too heavy and too dang

    Austin stepped through the massive doorway and his feet got frozen. The gloss floors and the walls adorned with modern art seems like something of a luxury magazine. Something that can never exist in the real world. His eyes swept across the grand interior and he was forced to stare at Dylan again."Is this for real? Or am I just imagining things?" Austin just couldn't stop asking questions."You can't picture something you haven't seen before... You told me that, remember?" Dylan said with a wide grin spreading across his face as he tucked his hands casually into his pockets.Austin raised a brow, smirking. "Oh, so now you're quoting me? You didnโ€™t even believe that when I said it.""Saying it doesnโ€™t mean I bought it. People imagine what theyโ€™ve never seen all the timeโ€ฆ Itโ€™s called imaginative thinking, genius." Dylan shrugged with a playful glint in his eyes."Well, look whoโ€™s suddenly sounding like a professor."They both laughed genuinely that it seemed to echo softly through t
