Rise of the White Dragon

Aguinaldo Cont, who had lived a lifestyle of luxury his entire life, could not and would not bear to lose everything and live in misery.

When they heard this, some of the shareholders and executives were afraid, since there were some compromising things they had done under the table with Vincent Cont, and if any of it went public it could ruin their reputations. But they also knew that it would be dangerous to investigate what had happened yesterday. Seeing Aguinaldo Cont's reaction, they started to agree.

"Yes, it's still early. Let's wait a little longer," said one of the shareholders with sweat running down his forehead.

"I agree."

"Me too."

"Me too..."

A little more than half agreed with that. Not that Luan didn't expect something like this. However, what Luan said was just something that would happen, after all... The law would investigate the reason for the disappearance, so, whether they agreed or disagreed did not make any difference.

Of course, that information Luan would keep to himself, and use it to postpone the investigation… This was the result that Luan expected…

"Therefore, I declare this meeting closed. Is everyone in agreement?"

"Yes..." Gradually everyone agreed. 

Ingrid followed Luan out of the meeting room and then asked him, "Luan, what are your intentions? Do you intend to forge something like a will?"

It was a possibility. With Luan's powers it was certainly possibly, although the law required that at least half be divided among the necessary heirs, which were:

Husband, wife, partner, or partners - Descendants (children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren) - Ascendants (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents) etc...

In the case of Vincent Cont, by law he only had 1 son: Aguinaldo Cont. However, it was rumored that he had a lover who had registered a soon of his.

"Not yet." Luan isolated their voices with a spell and said, "I need to know if Vincent Cont made a will before or not. If he did, I need to find out where it was done, in which notary's office, which specific type of notary and who they were, and locate the two witnesses who were present."

Ingrid was surprised that Luan had thought so far ahead, but it was true, maybe there was already a will. "Well, Vincent Cont was already 50 years old. I think he probably made a will."

"Anyway, there is still time before they confirm the death of Vincent Cont and his wife." Luan was very calm about this whole matter. It wasn't like he couldn't intervene and even if Aguinaldo inherited everything and wanted to do something against him, Luan would just kill him.

 Sometimes, there would come times when humans had to sacrifice little things, for example, their conscience or their morals for something greater such as killing someone to protect their family.

The important thing was to take things easy. It was useless to be hurried and do something hasty, such as forging a will and suddenly having the original appear. 

"We are here," Ingrid said when arriving in front of her and Luan's offices. "See you later."

"Yes, see you later," Luan said before entering his office.

After a few minutes, Ingrid knocked and went into Luan's office. She put Luan's coffee on the table and said, "I'm going to leave your coffee here."

"Thank you." Luan thanked her without turning around. He was busy trying to find out if there was a will created by Vincent Cont.

Luan also realized that Hamibo Corporation's problems and leakage of information were still in complete disarray. Many were terrified, some had been arrested, while others had left Hamibo Corporation because they did not want to have their names associated with that type of company.

Just as there were comments applauding for leaking rotten information from Hamibo Corporation, there were those who were against it and wanted the hackers who had exposed them all in jail.

Luan did not pay much attention to this, nor did he bother to read the comments. After all, behind a keyboard, many become courageous, but personally, well... Most didn't even have the courage to fart.

7:57 pm. Luan and Ingrid arrived home.

"Luan." Maira, who was holding a glass of wine, said, "I already spoke to your grandfather and he agreed to meet us for lunch at his vacation home and have us spend the day with him."

"Thank you mother." Luan went to her, as she was sitting on the couch, and kissed her on the cheek and smiled.

"You're welcome," Maira added, "In addition, your uncle will be there."

"Oh..." Luan's eyes sparkled strangely. The red eyes for a second were filled with murderous intent. This scared Maira a little, but then Luan's eyes went back to normal.

Luan said, "You know what he wants and what he did, yes?"

"I know. He is my brother, however, what he tried to do is unacceptable." Maira sighed and said indifferently concerning the life of Nilson Dimas, "Luan, if necessary, I will not judge you if you kill him, but if possible, just fry the brain of the bastard."

"Yes, mom." Luan rubbed the head of Cristina who was eating a packet of snacks and said, "I'm going up and taking a shower. I'll be down soon."

"Okay, when I get back the food will be ready," Maira said with a smile. Her face had changed from the indifferent expression she had had when talking about her brother Nilson Dimas.

"I'm also going to take a shower and change clothes." Ingrid said goodbye before going up the stairs right after Luan left.

Luan finished bathing and put on a new change of clothes, he went downstairs for dinner. After dinner, he returned to his room, as he intended to create new pills.

Until 11 o'clock at night Luan was making pills. After finishing creating the pills that would be helpful for cultivation, Luan went to the gym.

Inside the room Ingrid was meditating.

Luan avoided making unnecessary noise, however, when he started practicing with the body technique, it was inevitable that he would make a sound of wind being cut. Because of that, he cast a spell with his Qi to muffle the sound and prevent Ingrid from listening.

Luan spent almost 4 hours in a row training. This lasted until three in the morning. After that, he sat and meditated while dripping sweat.

Ingrid had already finished meditating and watched the whole process of Luan training. She found the way Luan trained to be handsome; each movement was very precise and beautiful, like a dance. For two hours, she watched him train. After she saw that he was finished and had started meditating, she left the gym to go shower.

- March 13, 2010 - 7:00 am, Saturday morning -

Today Luan with his family would see his grandfather, but it was still too early for their departure.

Luan hugged Ingrid on the couch while kissing her face a few times. He asked softly, "Are you feeling nervous?"

"A little bit. I mean, he's a man who survived World War II, right?" Ingrid acted flirtatiously, circling Luan's chest with her finger. She liked to be like this, hugging him.

"Relax, he's a little quiet and rigid, but he's a good person and easy to deal with once he meets you." Luan kissed Ingrid's lips softly and added, "You will like him."

"I hope so." Ingrid laid her head on his chest.

"Ew!" Catharina came into the room, and seeing this scene, put her finger in her mouth and pretended to be sick.

"Are you okay? Did you eat something bad?" Luan feigned ignorance.

"I didn't eat something bad, but I sure saw it," Catharina countered.

"Oh? I thought I already told you to be careful when you look at yourself in the mirror m..." When Catharina heard what Luan said, she jumped like a cat whose tail had been trampled. If it weren't for Ingrid who was hugging him, she would have advanced towards him and bitten his arm!

"Girls and Luan, breakfast is ready." Maira's voice echoed from the kitchen.

Ingrid got up and smiled at Catharina. She had already gotten used to Luan and Catharina's "fighting". Sometimes she herself had fun watching them argue, since it was funny.

Cristina was already sitting in a chair around the table, eating toast while she rocked her feet, looking very happy. As she had had little chance before to eat anything delicious, she always got excited about eating. Despite that, she never overindulged.

"Feel free," Maira said with a smile.

"It's delicious," Cristina said with a sincere smile. She was touched by something very trivial like a simple breakfast. Also, there were no empty words when she had said it was delicious. It was definitely more delicious than any food she had eaten while she had been living with her old 'family'. The meal was nutritionally balanced and at the same time tasty, so it was a perfect meal for her.

"I'm glad you like it." Maira was happy to hear the compliment.

Luan took an egg with some sliced bread and also started to chew.

After breakfast, they went to the gym to train.

Luan and the others trained until around 11 am and took a shower and got ready to go to Maira's father's house.

"Did you forget to pack anything?" Maira looked at Luan and asked.

"Ah wait, I forgot the laptop." Luan went up the stairs again to get his laptop that had the game installed on it. He intended to show using it what he intended to do for his grandfather.
