Gray doesn't say anything, he is not disturbed with the embarrassing way this people are treating him. The boy, the young teenager salesman, he picks up the key and walks up to them. “Sorry for my boss, he is just tired. Come, I will show you the car!” He takes them upstairs to where the car is displayed on the another floor. The car is kept separate from the rest. It's a beautiful red car and sparkles in the white lights. Alice draws breath, because she seems to be finding it difficult to breathe in front of such a beautiful car. Tommy is smiling too. This is one of his most favorite cars in the world.“Isn't she beautiful?” He chuckles. “She is a masterpiece of design and engineering. It will interest you to know that this case is so expensive and precious, only a few has been made.” Gray turns around, observing the car too. Alice

Alice laughs as more tears drops from her eyes. This is a day that she is not going to forget in a haste. Gray now turns to the salesman and asks for the price. The smile on Tommy's face goes away. It has come to the hard part, maybe they won't want the car after hearing the hefty price. “Sir, this is a very expensive car, like I have said many times. It's forty.” He says. “Forty thousand?” Alice asks. “Million, miss. It's worth forty million dollars.” He corrects her. Alice's heart sinks to the ground immediately. What was she even thinking? This car is way above her. There is no reason for Gray to splash so much money on a car for her. She is after all, nothing but his worker. She drops her head as she sighs. “It's okay, sir, you don't have to buy this car for me. It's too expensive. I can buy a smaller one.” Alice shrugs. “I am thankful for the fact that you even offered to buy it for me.” But Gray snorts as he takes out a card from his pocket. “Nonsense. The car is your

He laughs in his heart because he will take the money and buy himself a good bottle of beer at the end of the month! “You want to gamble with your salary, go on.” Mister Smith says with a grin. “Promise me that I will get the bonus if I sell the car.” Tommy begs. “I will get the bonus.” Mister Smith snorts. There is a way that this man is going to be able to afford this car. Look at their poor clothes. So, he thrusts the machine to Tommy. Tommy looks at Gray, who gives him an encouraging nod. “Go on, boy. You think that this is a good bargain? Let's see how far your faith takes you.” Tommy mutters a prayer as he swipes the card. If this doesn't work, his mother might not get the money to even buy her drugs by the end of the month. He wills this to work with all his might. His ey

Mister Smith jaw drops to the ground. He can't believe that he fumbled the biggest deal he would have made in his lifetime! He passed the deal to the clumsy teenager! Tommy is still jumping around, thanking God for giving him this great blessing. He goes to Gray and kneels down in front of him, and starts to thank him for changing his life. “Thank you! I am just nineteen years old, but this money is going to change my life!” Tommy has tears in his eyes. “Thank you! Thank you so much!” Mister Smith looks very uncomfortable. He pulls Tommy up and tells him to put himself together. He is just jealous of Tommy and his sudden success. “We are just very respectful to our customers,” Mister Smith laughs. “I taught him well. In Fact, I told him to treat you very well when he came to my office. I just had a good feeling around you.” Gary exhales because he is tired of hearing Mister Smith's bullshit. He glances at his wrist watch as he turns to Tommy. “Grab the paperwork, boy.” He ins

Alice is boiling with rage. This lazy receptionist is just disrespectful towards the man. That is the reason why she has an employment.

The rude receptionist doesn't know how serious this is, until the soldiers comes into the place and lifts her away! She starts to scream and kick. “Wait! Wait! Please, okay, I will apologize! Please, I will not disrespect him again! I will apologize to the richest man!” The other works looks on wth terror in their eyes. If they had doubted Gray's ownership now, they don't. Alice smiles and waves the rude girl away. “Have fun in the military prison! I am sure you will shake with fear once you hear his name ever again!” Immediately they have taken the receptionist again, Mister Gilbert turns to his colleagues that didn't even know when their boss walked in. “Bow to the big boss immediately!” He roars.

That's not fair!” She pouts. “How I wish I could thank her? She should know that she married the kindest man in the world.” “Don't worry, S

Stacy did not expect for him to say yes, and so easily, she couldn't believe her ears. “Are you sure, Gray?” She chuckles nervously. “It's five million dollars, that's a lot of money.” “A whole lot of money, but not for you.” He says. “Now, do you want it in cash or cheque? William can drive very quickly, he will go to the bank and get it for you–” Stacy throws herself against him sobbing as she hugs him very tightly. Where has he been all her life?

He glances at his wrist watch as he gets into the car and they start to drive back to the airport. “That was very quick, sir.” William smiles. “I was very time conscious. I can't break my promise to Stacy.” “She texted me because she wanted to know if I have any food that I don't care for. It looks like she is making the biggest meal.” Gray smiles and shakes his head. “That's Stacy, she is always taking care of everyone.” They are driving past the protest and Gray looks at the people with concern.

Even the Generals are dumbfounded. They are so used to the Mars doing everything for them, that they don't even know how to strategize anymore. “That's a very good plan, sir.” The Generals look at each other and nod. “Bunch of morons! I give you many bonuses and you can't even come up with a good plan?!” The president shouts at them. “Stressing the richest man in the world to come up with a strategy for us?!” “Sorry, your Excellency.” They all bow. He turns to Gray and forces himself to smile. “Don't be angry, Mister Lance, were you in any way, in the army before this?” He asks. Gray just smiles. “I’ve shot a hunting gun a few times, if that counts as anything.” The president laughs again. This time around, he gestures for the soldiers to guard them as he starts to walk with Gray. He is done with the Generals, he wants to have a secret meeting with Gray now as they walk out of the room, and around the house. William follows him too, walking ahead of the soldiers. He will ref

They are all laughing now, Gray laughs with them so much that they think that they have finally turned the anonymous trillionaire into their friend. William is standing behind Gray, looking back and forth in an alert manner. He has never seen a room full of more scary men. These were the men that killed his father, together with this psychopath that is running this nation. “So, you took care of him, the man that is supposed to be the greatest General in the army?” Gray asks. “Yes!” The president brags. “I killed him with my own tactics, and he fell right into my trap because he is not as smart as he thinks he is!” The Generals nod in agreement. They were all jealous of the Mars and all his prowess, so they allowed the president to use them to kill him. “Well, sounds like he had to be taken care of so I am glad for that. Now, can we move to the next topic?” Gray smiles. “Yes, yes, yes…” the president nods. “We need those weapons immediately because as you can see, these little

Each time that Gray thinks that the government has shown him enough incompetence, they show him even a worst display of their stupidity! This is the same man that announced that they should go to war against the country of Deholt, the country that is known to have one of the best military in the world! If Mars was still in the army, it would have been as easy as breaking a thin twing, but now that the Mars is missing, Deholt is going to finish them off in one battle! The president, the stupid coward of a man, he angered the citizens and he has now run to hide in the basement of his mansion? He has never heard something more silly in his life! “Mister Lance, please don't think that the basement sanctuary is just a poorly dug hole in the ground, it's a very luxurious place.” The soldiers assure Gray. “I have only two hours to spend here and I am returning back to Silverview.” Gray glances at his wrist watch. “Take me to the president, right now.” They all get into the elevator and

What?! Gray cannot be in the state capital of the country tonight! He promised his wife that he is going to return for lunch! How is he supposed to return for lunch if he has to go to the capital now? “Oh, I don't think that Mrs Lance would be happy if we went to the capital together.” William shakes his head. Alice frowns at him. She hasn't warmed up to William just yet, so she casts an unfriendly glare at him. “Who said anything about you going? You are still under probation, I don't appreciate you inserting yourself in the situation!” She snaps. William immediately looks down and apologizes. He knows that Alice doesn't like him, but he knows that he must have to win her over, if he will win her over. “I'm sorry Miss Alice, I didn't mean to jump the gun like that.” “Make the plane ready immediately.” Andrew says. “We will be using the private strip and since I can't have the entire security team with me, as that will bring up suspicion, William will go with me.” “Sir, he is
