Immediately Ethan shook his head, with a sheepish grin on his face as he handed the keys back to Naomi. "I appreciate the offer, but I don't have a driving license yet,"
he said, his voice apologetic.
"And moreover, I wouldn't want to risk getting pulled over by the authorities, and causing more trouble for myself when I'm supposed to be keeping a low profile now."
At that moment he rubbed the back of his neck, feeling a bit embarrassed about his lack of driving experience and everything.
Naomi nodded, understanding Ethan worries.
"That's fair,"
she said, pocketing the keys again. "We'll figure out another way to get you around safely."
She patted his shoulder reassuringly, her touch warm and comforting.
At that moment Ethan's mind shifted to the business deals he had recently made, and he turned to Naomi with a curious expression, his eyebrows raised in anticipation of what the response might be. "How's the signing deal going for all the companies I bought?"
he asked, his voice filled with excitement.
"Oh, I almost forgot, but everything is progressing smoothly?"
Ethan then fidgeted with his hands, unable to contain his eagerness to hear more, because he knew how many system points he would be getting, and he needed it quickly.
Naomi's face lit up with a confident smile, her eyes sparkling with seriousness.
"I'll be traveling tonight to finalize the paperwork,"
she explained, her voice filled with enthusiasm.
"I'm sure by tomorrow, all the deals should be done, and the companies will be officially under your ownership."
She gave him a thumbs-up, her confidence radiating from her.
Upon hearing what Naomi just said Ethan's heart soared with joy, he knew he could always trust Naomi and he wasn't disappointed.
knowing soon he will be getting his system point, his eyes widening with even more delight.
"That's fantastic news!"
he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine happiness.
And also he couldn't wait to see the power that would be unleashed within the ancient staff once all the deals were complete.
The thought of harnessing its mystical energy of long life and all filled him with a sense of power. 'With that I can't wait to see what the future holds,'
He looked around, expecting a chorus of admiration and envy from his peers.
Eyes widened in amazement, and immediately the students crowded around him, eager to hear more.
"Did you see the person who bought the estate?"
one of them asked, curiosity burning in their eyes and their voice filled with anticipation wanting to hear what he has to say.
The guy shrugged, with a nonchalant expression on his face.
"Nah, I wasn't interested in all of that,"
he replied, his voice dripping with feigned indifference. Little did they know, it was his parents who had actually purchased the house for him, and he had never even set foot inside the estate before.
"It's not a big deal,"
he thought to himself, enjoying the attention and admiration from his classmates.
Not to be outdone by someone from the business department, the most prominent figure from the media department chimed in, his voice loud and self-assured.
"Well, I have a mansion in the estate also,"
He boasted, his eyes gleaming with pride.
"It cost me a cool 20 million dollars when I bought it last year, back when the price were sky-high."
He grinned, reveling in the impressed looks from his peers.
immediately a chorus of
"oohs"and "aahs"
filled the room as the students marveled at his apparent wealth and status.
Ethan listened quietly, with a knowing smile playing on his lips. "If only they knew the truth about my own acquisitions, and the incredible power I now hold,"
he thought to himself, with a sense of amusement and satisfaction filling his heart.
Not long after they left the school.
As they arrived at the Benjamin family mansion, Ethan and his classmates were greeted by the family's distinguished butler. The teacher introduced themselves, and the butler nodded, his expression was filled with a mix of professionalism and warmth.
"Welcome,"
he said, his voice rich and cultured, his posture impeccable.
"I won't be the one personally guiding you today. The old master of the Benjamin family has insisted on enlightening all of you himself."
