Dylan seemed to be tidying up his files that had been piled irregularly on his desk. He arranged them according to the priority category of the plan, there were several arranged according to the plan he would be working on regarding the revenge against the Watson family.It wasn't difficult for the man to organize it properly, considering Dylan had already memorized exactly how the plan went and what he needed. Dylan turned his head to the side, looking at the glass table in front of the long sofa.There were a few small books and glasses that were no longer in use, the bottle of wine that they had originally enjoyed was also gone.The man would only take care of the books, as for the glasses and wine bottles, Dylan would have the servants in the house take care of them.There was a knock coming from the direction of the study door, a quiet but intense knock. Dylan told the person on the other side of the door to come in until Maya arrived to tell Dylan something."Your car is ready,
Getting into the black sedan, Diaz continued to drive away from the place. Dylan and Maya continued to wait in the car in the back seat as they talked to each other about the empty house."We'll need to do some demolition if we decide to choose that place," Maya said."Don't worry. Demolition will be easy if we reach an agreement with the house owner," said Dylan."Or do we not need to dismantle it?" Maya asked.Dylan squinted, turning his head to the side with both eyes continuing to stare at Maya who was currently sitting beside him, "That's impossible. The house has probably been abandoned by the owner for quite some time. The walls and roof are prone to collapse and potentially dangerous.""But we can renovate it, it's much more cost-effective than building from scratch," Maya said.Diaz, who had been behind the wheel of the car, listened to what Maya had to say. He did not know what kind of empty house the two of them were referring to, but Diaz fully agreed that renovation would
***The next day.Today was an important day for Dylan. He has made an appointment with the owner of the empty house, the demolition plan will not happen and will change to renovation.Gundo prefers the renovation option over demolition, not only because demolition would be costly, but also because the house still looks solid and usable.Only some parts need to be renovated. Yesterday, the trio had not had a chance to see the condition inside the house, so the final decision on whether to demolish or renovate will be decided now.Since the meeting was not so official, Dylan decided to wear a casual outfit, but still looked presentable to those who saw him.He was still in the room, looking prepared with his eyes focused unwaveringly ahead, watching himself through the reflection in the mirror. He was completely ready, just waiting for Maya to arrive.Not long after, there was a soft knock on the door to Dylan's room. The man immediately turned around, stepped closer to the door and op
Together with Gundo and the owner of the empty house, Dylan and Maya stepped through the front yard until they reached the front of the house.The two people saw clearly what the condition of the house was like, there were indeed some damaged parts, but according to Maya, the damage was not fatal.The damage in question included peeling paint, wood that was porous due to termites, and broken tiles on the roof. Such things can be resolved by renovating."Come, see the inside," said the homeowner.The middle-aged man slowly opened the door, revealing the inside of the empty house, which was covered in dust and cobwebs. Some furniture was still in place, such as sofas, chairs, cabinets, and some kitchen utensils."Didn't you take all this stuff?" asked Dylan."I bought a fully furnished house elsewhere, so I no longer need the old furniture," said the man who owned the house.The living room looked spacious, with some changes that could be made to make it a restaurant. Gundo was the busi
***The next day.Maya had gotten information about the landlord's phone number, and his name was Jacob. Dylan did not plan to return to the empty house again and sign the agreement.He thought of signing the agreement here, at the Sullivan residence. Maya had already notified Jacob to come to this place, especially since he had no objection to doing it at the Sullivan residence."When will he come to this place?" asked Dylan, still standing focused on the study window connected to the outside of the Sullivan residence in the house's backyard."From Jacob's text, he'll probably arrive around ten in the morning," Maya replied.The woman was still standing firmly before Dylan's desk with her eyes focused on Dylan, specifically Dylan's back, which felt large and authoritative.Dylan nodded, looking back with both eyes fixed attentively on Maya. Dylan turned around, stepped closer to the desk, and sat on it."When will the contractor start renovating the house?" asked Dylan, curious."Fro
Maya escorted Jacob's departure to the front yard of the Sullivan residence, Dylan following behind Maya.Jacob didn't come to this place by driving a personal vehicle. He didn't have a single car, not even an old car. That was the reason why Jacob chose to travel wherever he was going by taking the city bus.The middle-aged man continued to take steps at a steady pace, leaving the place and heading to the front gate of the Sullivan residence.When the man arrived, Jacob was seen leaving through the small door provided at the front gate of the Sullivan residence. However, the two post guards at the gate were seen opening the three-meter-high iron gate.Dylan squinted, seeing who the gate was opened for, even though Jacob had already walked through the small door. A white
"I have a lot of things to say, actually," Dylan replied."Go ahead, just say what you want to say. I'll answer as I can," Nathan replied.The man poured more wine from the bottle into the glass he was using. One glass wasn't enough for Nathan when he tasted the best-tasting wine that Dylan had.Nathan quite liked the taste of the wine, especially since the wine Dylan was currently serving was an expensive quality wine; price doesn't hide quality, and that's what Nathan knew about it.Dylan did not deny that he did have a sizable supply of wine of the highest quality. It was only natural for Dylan to think that Nathan would like the wine he served."These shares, are you really going to sell them and no longer participate in Monarch, or do you have other plans after selling these shares?" asked Dylan, both eyes turning to Nathan."I can say for now, the best I can do is to sell my shares in Monarch. In the future, if there are any significant changes happening at Monarch, I won't hold
Dylan and Nathan talked a lot about investing and stocks. He made it clear that Nathan was planning to start a new company, similar to what Dylan was doing.What Dylan was doing fully inspired what Nathan wanted to do, especially since the man beside Nathan had grown from a nobody to a formidable entrepreneur."What kind of company do you want to start exactly?" asked Dylan, curious."It's still the same line of business Lawrence is in, banking. Hopefully, Lawrence and Sullivan can work together on that business plan," Nathan replied.Dylan nodded. He thought of an interesting idea that he could implement given the situation. Sullivan was an expert in all business areas, especially advertising, while Lawrence was good at banking and investment.The man proposed something interesting for them to do. Dylan would seize Monarch, and Nathan would participate as a shareholder, while Nathan, when establishing the company he wanted, Dylan would enter as a shareholder as well."I'll put my sha
