100 billion dollars?

Landon was so shocked that his mind immediately went blank.

‘Did she just say that there’s 100 billion dollars in this card?’

Landon quickly held the black card with both hands like an egg he could not allow to fall off his hands.

“W-wait…did you just say there’s a 100 billion dollars in this card?” Landon asked, still unwilling to believe Eve’s last statement.

“Yes, young master. Inside that card is 100 billion dollars. Manage it for now. I did not have enough time to pull out enough funds into the card but don’t worry if it’s not enough I’ll be sure to triple the amount or make it to whichever amount you want me to!” Eve replied as if she was agitated.

“No...no, it’s not that!” Landon hurriedly gestured. “It’s just that…”

Landon did not know how to even explain it but 100 billion dollars?! 100 billion dollars?! How can Eve call such an amount of money little?!

Landon has not even seen 100 thousand dollars not to mention 100 billion dollars. That fact Eve referred to the amount as little made Landon question…how rich is his family?!

100 billion dollars is not a small money. He’s 99.9% sure that even the richest man in Dimvale city does not have such an amount of money in his bank account!

Landon could not help himself any longer so he voiced out his thoughts as best as he could. “…It’s not that it’s not enough but isn’t 100 billion dollars way too much? I have never heard of such an amount of money inside a bank account in my entire life.”

At this point, Eve finally understood what Landon was saying so she smiled.

“Young master if you’re saying that 100 billion dollars is too big then you are wrong. 100 billion dollars is just a minuscule amount of wealth the King family controls. It won’t be a lie to say that your family wealth is infinite so 100 billion dollars is not too much. You know your family owns up to 80% of all profitable businesses in Dimvale city so 100 billion dollars is a really small amount compared to all your family’s wealth. Even this establishment called the Crescent Resorts is under the King family.”

Landon felt like he could faint just from all the news Eve was giving him.

Wait his family owns the Crescent Resort? Landon could not believe it. He has always believed that he would one day make it big to not be called poor again but he did not believe he would make it this big!

In the whole of Dimvale City, Crescent Resorts was the best and the top of the top. To believe such an establishment was under his family made Landon very shocked.

Eve saw the shock on Landon's face so she continued speaking. “Young master, your family is one of the most powerful families in the world. It’s the most powerful family in the world! Your family owning 80% of the Dimvale city establishments is just little to your family’s entire wealth.”

***

Landon had been so totally blown off by Eve’s words that he did not know what to say. From her statement, he had realized one thing.

His family wealth is far bigger than he had anticipated. Even if he tried to he could not begin to phantom the amount of wealth his family possesses.

After his discussions with Eve, they had a very lovely meal at the Crescent Resort.

Ring! Ring!

Landon was enjoying the delicacies until his phone rang out!

Landon took out his phone and identified the caller.

It was Jude!

Landon answered his call. “Hello bro?”

[“Landon where are you? I haven’t seen you this afternoon! Have you forgotten we are supposed to submit our term papers for our assignment this afternoon?! If you don’t submit yours today you will lose a good amount of marks!” ] Jude said worriedly on the other end of the phone.

Landon eyes became widened. He had totally forgotten. Today was the day they were supposed to submit their term papers! He’s still yet to submit his! He has totally forgotten all about this due to his sudden meeting with Eve.

Seeing the tense expression on her young master’s face, Eve immediately understood that something urgent had come up and Landon needed to go.

As a woman who has so many experiences working with people, she was quite good at reading people’s body language so it was not so hard to tell what was going on.

“Young master. I’m sorry for taking up your time. It seems like you have something to attend to?” Eve spoke out.

“Yes. I have to get back to campus.” Landon hurriedly got up.

“If that’s the case allow me to drive you back young master.”

“No that’s not necessary.” Landon refused Eve’s help. “I’ll be okay.”

“Are you sure?” Eve insisted.

“Yes, I’m sure. I’ll just hail a cab from here.” Landon got up and got on his way.

Before he did Eve made sure that Landon knew that if he ever needed anything he should not hesitate to call her.

Landon kept this in mind. After all, contacting Eve was something he would definitely do. Since she was the representative of his family in Dimvale city their constant communication was a necessity.

Deciding to forget about all the complicated parts of his life, Landon hailed a cab to get to his dormitory. No matter how much of a change he had just received, the habit of a student was still in him. He had to carry out certain tasks to get good grades. In under 20 minutes, he was done, fortunately, he was able to meet up with submitting the urgent term paper. Before he got there Jude and his friends were no longer in class but he sighed in relief.

‘Thank goodness I made it.’

Landon decided to return to his dormitory, however…

“Landon! You brat!”

The shriek of someone immediately sent a shiver down his spine.

Landon turned around to identify the person.

“Where do you think you are going to?! I have been looking for you for the past two days?! So you have the balls to avoid me after I showed goodwill towards you! Today you will pay me! Where’s my money?!” A beautiful lady with a classy young man raised her voice.

It was Elena.

The made reason Landon had felt chill when he had heard her scream was because he owed her.

A few days back, he had borrowed 300 dollars from Elena to settle an emergency and she had been disturbing him ever since. The truth was he had been trying hard not to run into her for the past two days unfortunately she had caught him today.

No wait…how can he be unfortunate?! He has 100 billion dollars now so he can pay her! There’s no need to be fearful of her! All he had to do was make a withdrawal and pay her back.

“No problem Elena.” Landon sighed tiredly and replied. “Okay, can I just withdraw the cash and give you in a couple of minutes?”

Slap!

The sound of someone being slapped resounded in the entire hallway so much that most bystanders and people walking had stopped to watch what was going on.

Landon had been slapped by Elena!
