"Arlan, can you tell us what sort of businesses you have in Maharlika? We might be of some help to you in the future." Divine Arnault asked while looking at Arlan.
The others were also curious about this. Even Peter who was quite close with Arlan didn't know a lot about him.
Arlan put down the wine glass in his hand and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He then smiled at Divine as he replied. "I'm not as impressive as you guys think. I just own some stakes in top companies like Starbucks and Mazda. The famous Pegasus Hotel in Maharlika is also mine."
"I know Mazda. It's a car company in Japan that has a total net worth of over 11 billion dollars. Owning shares from this company alone is already impressive, but you also own some shares in Starbucks. Not to mention that Pegasus Hotel is also your property. We have underestimated you." Christopher stared at him in surprise.
"It looks like you didn't need our help. I was presumptuous." Divine chuckled while shaking her head.
"It's fine. If I ever need your help, I'll definitely contact you guys. You can also contact me any time." Arlan wanted to befriend these big bosses. Everyone chatted happily and they even exchanged their contact information with each other.
The host of the party, Harry Pinault, also came to their small table to toast with them. This made Arlan enter the spotlight. It was then that he encountered Morgan and Laurence.
"Mr. Finn, Mr. Stan... I didn't know that you guys are here." Arlan politely greeted the two old men.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMorgan and Laurence also greeted him. "Mr. Roa, we've come late this time. We didn't manage to join the auction, but we heard from a few friends that you successfully bid for two items. Congratulations!"
"Haha! It's nothing." While Arlan was chatting with all these big bosses, he suddenly remembered the invitation from Mazda.
"By the way, I seem to remember that I was invited by Mr. Matsushima Moro to join Mazda's exhibition in Tokyo. How about coming with me to join the fun?" Arlan smiled as he invited everyone.
"I will definitely be there, Arlan. How could I not be there?" Peter grinned as he uttered those words.
The others hesitated for a moment but they soon agreed as well. Only Harry Pinault tactfully declined his invitation.
Morgan came to Arlan's side and said. "Mr. Roa, we've already notified the other shareholders about your recipe and they seem to be interested in it. Please send us some samples so that we can let them have a taste of your coffee."
"Alright. I'll make some after I return to Maharlika and send them to the shareholders." Arlan smiled faintly.
After the party ended, everyone parted ways.
Arlan gained a lot this time. With the connections he got from tonight's party, he became more confident in the future of his businesses.
Arlan's group left the venue together with Peter.
"I have prepared your accommodations. You guys should rest well." Peter already arranged a hotel for them and he left after bidding them farewell.
"Boss, where is Khalon?" Karl asked while looking around. He didn't find Khalon in the hotel when he went out to look for him.
Arlan stared at him and replied indifferently. "I sent him to follow someone, but he should be back soon. I already sent him our location. You don't have to worry about him. You know his capabilities."
Karl nodded his head upon hearing this.
"You should go to your room and have some rest. We will be fine here since the hotel is secured." Arlan patted Karl's shoulder.
"Alright. Just call me if you need anything, boss. I'll take my leave now." Karl bowed his head and left the room.
After he left, Arlan pressed his earpiece and muttered. "Khalon, are you there?"
"Yes, boss. I'm still following Leandro's group. They are currently chatting with a European guy inside a private building. I can't go in because the security is tight." Khalon reported.
Arlan frowned upon hearing this. "Have you identified this person?"
"No, but I have recorded him. We can ask Fabian. The police might have some information about this person." Khalon suggested.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Good. You should go back. We can't deal with Leandro for now." Arlan knew that it was impossible to deal with Leandro in Paris. This wasn't his turf and he didn't want to become a wanted man.
"Yes, boss!"
After his conversation with Khalon, Arlan's phone vibrated. He took out his phone and noticed that it was another notification from the mysterious app.
[You managed to ruin Senator Ramon Arcenal's reputation and show the world his true colors. You can now claim your reward!]
[Do you want to claim your reward?]
[Yes]
Arlan's mouth curled upwards when he saw this. "It looks like Fabian is doing his job well. Not bad." He muttered.
He then clicked the [Yes] button.
[Congratulations! You claimed Flying Car technology!]
A blueprint appeared in Arlan's hand. When he unrolled the blueprint, he saw a complex diagram that showed the method of creating a flying car!
Arlan tried to read what was written, but the scientific jargons were like alien words to him. However, he knew the significance of this blueprint!
Many tech companies were working on making flying cars possible. There were some prototypes made by top companies, but they are still in the initial phases. These prototypes haven't undergone any major tests and they still need a few years to improve their designs to ensure that they would be safe to drive.
The technology in Arlan's hand was even more advanced than the research done by these top companies. "If I give this blueprint to Mazda, would they be able to make this?" Arlan thought to himself. Mazda's value would increase exponentially if the flying car would be listed among their products, but he had to make sure that the details about the blueprint wouldn't leak. Unfortunately, he was still unfamiliar with the higher-ups of Mazda so he could only think about this after meeting them in person.
