"Mr. Dylan, are you comfortable? Do you want anything?" Clara asked ardently.
Dylan just threw a glance at her and ignored her like there was no one there. Clara felt embarrassed, despite everything she has done to make sure he gets into the good books of Dylan, it just isn't working. A big shot like Dylan was worth consideration and currying favor from him was her target. "Sir, you know this Bank might cost tens of billions and it can be---" "I know!" Dylan interrupted with a contempt look. 'I was just trying to keep a conversation with you, that's all. You don't have to be rude. You're not even the most wealthy man in the city. No one knows Dylan, so why does he have to behave like the whole world is at his feet. Gosh, it's disgusting and annoying!' Clara rumbled in her mind. If Dylan knew what was going on in her head now, he might have intensify it just to tell what being rude is. Subsequently, the elevator lurched to a stop and Miss Julian alongside Scott Hudson walked out of the elevator with two bodyguards in black expensive suits. 'It's Scott Hudson' One of the security guards whispered. 'Wow, I haven't seen him since I started working as a receptionist,' 'He's a rare gem, he doesn't even show up like this all the time' 'It must be because of some important matter, I'm sure of that' "....." Different opinions and suggestions swept through. 'Mr. Scott came to see Dylan? Dylan must be a big shot. Oh my goodness, what have I done to myself.' Remorse plastered Clara's face. As they walked straight to Dylan, the security guards and all the staff stood up and bowed respectfully to him as an act of royalty. The guards remained motionless until he had walked down the hallway. "Mr. Dylan?" He extended his hands and shook hands with him, "I am Mr. Scott Hudson." 'Is this the famous Scott Hudson? Man is a legend' Dylan had to compose himself. Then the thought occur to him that he just shook hands with the Mr. Scott Hudson. It could've been an achievement then and all his friends will definitely hear of it after. A smile crawled over his face, "I am Dylan." "Could you mind if we talk privately?" Scott requested. "Sure!" The elevator lurched to a stop at the 20th floor. Dylan couldn't help himself but smile at the opulent designs and decorations as they walked straight into an office. It never occured to him that he will one day walk with Scott Hudson into his office at one of the biggest Banks in Stone's City. "Could you give us a minute?" Scott told Julian as he paved the way for Dylan into his office. Nobody except the shareholders have entered Mr. Scott Hudson's office. He practically own the 20th floor and that floor is off limits. That was the kind of fear He has induced on every staff that had work at Stone's City Bank. Silence shadowed the room as Dylan and Mr. Scott Hudson sat across from each other, the tension palpable. The air was thick with anticipation as Scott leaned forward, his eyes locked intently on Dylan. "So, Mr. Dylan," Scott began, he cleared his voice, "I must say, I'm impressed. You're a college student, and yet you're making an offer to buy our bank. That's...audacious, to say the least. But we came at a price of $22 Billion." Dylan smiled calmly, his eyes never leaving Scott's face. "I'm just a guy who sees opportunities, Mr. Hudson. And I believe this bank has a lot of potential. So Yes, $22 Billion it is." Scott's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "You're not even going to negotiate? We just threw out a number and you buy it?" "I've done my research, Mr. Hudson. I know what this bank is worth. And I'm willing to pay top dollar for it." Dylan shrugged. The room was silent for a moment, the only sound heard was the soft humming of the air conditioner. Then, Scott let out a low whistle. "Well, I'll be damned," he said, a slow grin spreading across his face. "You're either the most confident person I've ever met, or you're completely insane." Dylan chuckled. "Maybe a little bit of both, Mr. Hudson." Scott leaned back in his chair, a look of admiration on his face. "You know, I think we're going to get along just fine, Mr. Dylan. Make a payment and Sign here, so we can make it official." "Where do I pay?" Dylan asked and all that kept running through Scott's mind was how fast this deal was unfolding. He didn't even request to pay a 10% first, he just want to pay everything at once? "You can pay here." Mr Scott turned the screen towards him and there were many options to paid with. Instantly, the payment was successful and the way Scott looked at Dylan changed instantly. His eyes bulged out of his socket in utter astonishment. 'Only few have tens of billions in assets, talk alone in cash, and only an insane person would pay $22 Billion in just one fold, emptying their account to do a thing like that wasn't business wise, but this college student did that? Is he from those invincible family?' Dylan glanced through the purchase agreement and all the shares purchase agreement, before finally signing for the handover. Scott's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "You know, I have to ask...how does a college student come up with $22 billion?" Dylan just smiled. "Let's just say I have my ways, Mr. Hudson." 'That's it... Suspicion confirmed, he's definitely from those secretly rich family, Heard they are not just rich! Wow!!' As they exchanged contact information, Scott turned to Dylan with a grin. "You know, I think we're going to be great friends, Dylan. And please, call me Scott. We don't have to be too formal." Dylan smiled back, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I'd like that, Scott. Let's stay in touch." Scott called the head staff and the shareholders after the deal went through. And discussed the handover with them. "From now henceforth, Mr. Dylan Bradley is now the CEO and owner of Stone's City Bank." The news of Dylan buying the Bank spread like wildfire through the whole Bank. Everyone were shocked and couldn't believe what happened. Some of the shareholders wants to meet with this Dylan boy. Some of the female staff were glad that they have been a change of management since they couldn't stand the sexual harassment from most of the shareholders. 'The deal happened? And I have just insulted my Boss before now? What is he going to do me? How do I find a better job with a ruin reputation?' Clara's shoulder slumped as regrets crushed on her. As Dylan emerged from the elevator, Clara prostrated herself before him, her face streaked with tears as she begged fervently, "Please, don't fire me. Don't ruin my reputation please. I will do anything. Anything you say!"Latest Chapter
CHAPTER 209
The silence that followed the departure of the last emergency vehicle was concerning.Opulent Haven Hotel, usually alive with activity at this hour of the day, had descended into an unusual state of confusion and silence. The staff members moved hurriedly through the corridors, while a few guests stood at a distance, whispering among themselves as they tried to get the complete story what happened.At the reception desk, two female receptionists stood close to each other with their voices barely above a whisper."Did you hear what happened upstairs?" one of them asked, glancing towards the elevators, making sure that nobody was coming from upstairs."I heard there were three men in the suite," the other replied. "Unfortunately, one of them didn't make it.""Jesus Christ!!!" The first receptionist covered her mouth. "In this hotel?""Keep your voice down. The manager has already warned everyone not to discuss it with the guests."A male receptionist seated a little farther down leaned
CHAPTER 208
Someone tried to kill him, and whoever stood behind the attack was still out there. They might already know that he escaped. They might even be preparing for their next move.He looked down at his hands, remembering the struggle in the suite. He had fought his way through the danger, but surviving an attack wasn't the same as understanding it and that pissed him off.He desperately needs answers, and he needed to know who had been responsible for putting him in that position.The taxi eventually slowed to a stop near the address Rachel had given the driver.For a moment, she remained seated with her fingers tightening around the strap of her bag. She turned to Dylan, looking at him as though she still hadn't fully processed everything that had happened."Thank you, Dylan," she whispered as she swallowed hard and tried to force a small smile that didn't quite hide the emotions in her eyes."I honestly don't know what would have happened to me if you hadn't been there." She paused, look
CHAPTER 207
The taxi moved through the city traffic with its engine humming as the driver navigated the crowded road.Dylan sat beside Rachel in the back seat, his eyes seemed to be staring but his mind was absolutely somewhere else reminiscing about everything that happened.Neither of them had said much since they left the hotel. The events of the day had left too many questions hanging between them, and Dylan wasn't the kind of person who could simply forget something because he had managed to survive it.He will definitely want to see it to the end. Three men had entered his suite with the intention of killing him. That much was clear. But what bothered him was something one of them said.𝑫𝒚𝒍𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎Dylan replayed the words in his mind.The attackers had been prepared to move. They knew the layout of the room, or at least enough to navigate it. Yet the moment they realised he wasn't where they expected him to be, something had changed. They didn't look confus
CHAPTER 206
By the time Germany reached the underground parking garage, the hotel's security team was heading toward the wrong floor.Someone had redirected the cameras.He didn't know how long the interference would last, and he wasn't interested in finding out. He crossed the garage without looking back, his hand buried inside his jacket where the encrypted phone rested.There was a black-tinted SUV waiting near the exit of the garage and the moment he approached, the rear door opened and Germany climbed inside."Drive." Germany said and the urgency in his voice was quite obvious.The vehicle pulled away before the door had fully shut.For several seconds, none of them spoke a word and the driver watched the road while Germany examined the phone in his hand, turning it over as though he might discover something new by looking at it from another angle."Sir, did you get what you came for?" the driver finally asked."Yes, I got the device, but I can't access it yet." Germany answered casually, hi
CHAPTER 205
There were mistakes you could afford to make, and then there were mistakes that followed you to the grave. This mission was beginning to look like the latter.The plan had been simple. Get in, retrieve what they needed, eliminate the loose ends, and disappear before anyone realised anything had happened. No evidence and no connection that would ever lead back to them. Killing the receptionist had only made things worse. The woman impersonating her had signed in using the real receptionist's identity that morning, creating the impression that she had reported for duty as usual. But if anyone checked the security footage or questioned the staff, they would soon discover that the real receptionist had never shown up at her post.That discrepancy alone could trigger an investigation. And the deeper investigators dug, the more likely they were to uncover something that should have remained hidden.And the worst part was that Dylan hasn't connected the dots yet.Well, that was the only a
CHAPTER 204
For a few seconds, the two men struggled.The ring leader was badly injured, but his strength and training hadn't completely left him.The unknown man gritted his teeth and pushed harder while the leader tried to twist free, but his body was already failing him.The blade slowly moved closer and then the unknown man overpowered him and slowly plunged the knife into his chest.The leader's grip finally loosened and his hand slipped from the stranger's worst and fell limply to the floor.For a moment, the man in black remained motionless, watching the last traces of life disappear from the assassin's eyes. Then he pulled the knife free, wiped the blade clean, and returned it to its concealed sheath.He drew in a slow and satisfied breath."One problem solved... Now let's get to the business." He whispered as he crouched beside the body and reached into the dead man's pocket retrieving a smartphone.At first glance, it looked ordinary. No unusual markings and no visible security hardware
