The Tycoon's Odyssey

Chapter 124: 124:Token Of Appreciation

Two hours later.

Ean had finished his preparations for the meeting and was on his way to the Great Royal in Luxembourg. Just as he was about to leave, Aurora's voice reminded him to take his watch.

"Thanks, Aurora," Evan replied curtly before opening a box to retrieve the custom-made watch.

The watch, embedded with one of the four remaining quantum chips, allowed him to carry Aurora's full capabilities with him at all times.

Evan even planned to create a lesser version of the watch.

Although a phone could have sufficed the purpose, Evan preferred the watch for its subtlety.

With the watch in hand, Evan left the room and made his way to the parking lot, where the hotel chauffeur, along with his personal guard Big Mac and two additional bodyguards, awaited him.

"Mac, make sure we don't have trails," Evan instructed.

"Don't worry boss, we will make sure that there is no truck or car speeding at us. We will take action immediately," Mac reassured Evan with his signature smile.

[If only we had our own satellite, I could have mapped and tracked everything. Or should I make way and act like a satellite?] Aurora suggested.

'No, just wait a few days. It's not good to be so high profile.'

"I'll be back in about two hours or so. Go and get yourselves some food," Evan instructed Big Mac and the other bodyguards as he stepped out of the car.

"Yes, Sir," Big Mac responded, steering the car toward the parking lot.

As Evan stepped through the grand entrance of the Great Royal Hotel, he felt a cold, detached excitement at the opulence around him. Despite being a billionaire, this was his first time experiencing such luxury in a seven-star hotel.

The lobby was an extravagant display of elegance, with towering columns, a dazzling chandelier, and exquisite art pieces adorning the walls. Plush carpets and sumptuous furnishings added to the grandeur.

Evan approached the front desk, where he was greeted by a courteous concierge.

"Welcome, Sir. How may I assist you?" she inquired.

Evan knew that she felt guilty for dragging him into a mess that was gonna be difficult to get out of.

Suri's cheeks flushed lightly, and she gave a soft, somewhat awkward laugh. "Thank you. It's not every day someone shows such generosity."

"Ahem!" Evan cleared his throat, knowing very well what she meant.

After exchanging a few more appreciative glances, Evan's expression turned more serious. "Now that we've started on such a positive note, let's discuss how we can move forward."

Suri nodded, her demeanor shifting to one of determination as she adapted to Evan's cold gaze, "You have something to say."

Evan took a deep breath, ready to outline his plans and discuss the collaboration that would be crucial for their mutual success.

They talked about Hololens and the partnership.

The previous discussion he had with Hololens CEO was solely about the profits. For the expansion, they still had to finish talks with Macrosoft. And honestly, Evan wasn't very eager to meet the person, lest it disgust him more.

That guy was more crooked than Steve Hook. After all, a few years ago, he had stood at the top of the richest list and maintained his hold.

"I don't know how you are going to sell or implement it—that's your job. However, I only have one request. Before releasing it, I want you to grant a free experience to every major person in the world as a test."

"You mean?" Suri paused, raising her brows.

"Start with big universities and institutions. Then include scientists, politicians, sports figures, some key military personnel and so on..." Evan explained.

He was doubtful that Micheal would keep the bargain, so he decided to discuss it with Suri.

Suri fell into brief thought for a moment before she responded, "I will relay it. Evan, though I hold a significant number of shares, I am not the main decision-making body. Nonetheless, I will try to put forward the proposal. I don't foresee any problems with the plan, still, you should be prepared for rejection."

"Umm!"

They finished the business talk, after which Evan decided to address the main topic.

"Now, Suri...I hope you can be frank and just answer yes and no."

"Of course, you can," Suri returned a smile.

"Do you know about the real decision-making body of the world?" Evan asked, his expression solemn, causing Suri's smile to falter.
