The figure was a 190 cm tall young man who seemed to be in his early twenties, quite handsome with sharp features and deep blue eyes and black hair.

He wore a light-blue dress shirt with well-pressed charcoal trousers, paired with a neatly knotted dark tie. He also wore a tailored black blazer and polished dark leather shoes.

The moment that Martin saw this person, he immediately recognized him. After all, the previous day, Michael had sent him a message, telling him that he would send someone over.

Martin did not recognize him through his appearance, rather, it was from the fact that he was claiming that he had been sent over by Michael.

Apart from himself and Clara, there was nobody else that knew about the chairperson sending someone over.

So, unless Clara was a traitor, it was impossible for someone to impersonate the person that would be sent over by the chairperson.

"Hi, you must be Mr. Adrian Santos?" Martin stood up, before approaching Adrian as he stretched his hand for a handshake.

While shaking Martin's hand, Adrian responded in a calm voice, "That's right. I am the president's personal assistant. I was sent over, and I would be in charge of the a few of the main activities that will be happening in the company.

Though, there is someone else that will come over, who will be in charge of everything else, so, you can report anything to him.

But just like before, you will be in charge of the company, but some operations will require me to intervene to make the decisions. So, for everything that I do, I will be representing the president."

Since he was already informed before by Michael, Martin nodded. At the same time, he was even more convinced that this was the person that had been sent over by Michael.

It was just that, he was curious, this guy was called Adrian Santos. He had the same surname as Michael. Did that imply that they were related?

Was it possible that this was Michael's brother? But, he looked older than Michael, most probably, an older sibling.

Even if he was not a sibling, but along distant relative, he was older than Michael. So, unless there was some kind of relationship that placed Michael in a superior position, it was quite surprising that Adrian would be Michael's subordinate.

Nevertheless, that did not matter. After all, the matters of those big families, how could he, just an 'ordinary' person, understand?

Still, he was quite curious, what kind of plan was Michael having? Previously, he had claimed that he had the plan of making Sky Technologies a giant of the technological field.

And from what Adrian had said, it was clear that the plans had already been made, all that was left was the execution.

As for when the plans would be executed, he was still left in the dark.

Adrian and Martin exchanged contact information, spoke a few words, before Adrian left.

The moment that Adrian left, Martin slumped on his chair, sweating slightly.

Even though the conversation with Adrian was not long, Martin felt a lot of pressure.

When facing Adrian, it was as though he was facing his own superior, someone who had been at a higher position than him for a long time.

Martin himself had held high positions for quite a while. Even before coming to Sky Technologies, he had been the CEO of another smaller company. But when facing Adrian, he felt inferior.

At this moment, Martin began wondering, just how powerful would the family head of the Santos family be?

At the same time, in his mind, he could not help but question himself, why did it seem like Adrian was the one that seemed like the company's president?

While it was true that Michael seemed to be kind of unique, he did not have the same air as the one that was around Adrian.

Being around Michael, one could be free, but at the same time, there was something about Michael that discouraged someone from trying to cause trouble.

That was something that he had observed during the few minutes that he had spent with Michael, touring the company's chairman's office.

Regardless, from the looks of it, it seemed that Michael was not someone who liked dealing with business.

But that was to be expected, considering that he was only 18 years old. At 18, it would be impossible for him to be a veteran.

For this Adrian, considering his older age, it was clear that he had already gotten involved in business at a younger age, and was most probably assigned to help Michael with business management.

But speaking about this, Adrian could not help but be curious about something. Quickly, he went online and searched for the name Santos.

The instant that he searched for that name, his body could not help but freeze for a moment.

Santos family. That was what was most eye catching about the search results.

While there were many results, the Santos family seemed to be prioritized, as many of the results presented were linked to the Santos family.

And, when he looked at the information related to the Santos family, Martin took a deep breath.

Then, he looked at Clara, who was still inside his office and said, "Make sure to do everything as it is required. Our president's background, it is not something that we can afford to offend at all." Martin said with a solemn expression on his face.

Clara was slightly stunned, as she had never seen Martin with such an expression on his face.

But still, believing him, she nodded.

Of course, Martin did not know about the fact that, he had actually found the truth about Michael's background.

It was just that, the acquisition of Sky Technologies and Adrian had no relation at all to the Santos family. While it was true that the Santos family was Michael's origin, everything that he had now, all was thanks to the system.

Regardless, with the presence of the Santos family, it would become much more easier for Michael to be able to explain about his wealth.

After all, while it might be true that the Santos family was in charge of a syndicate, this was not information that could be found online.

All that was found online was about the Santos family, and several businesses that they owned. As for any crime-related information on them, it was impossible to be able to find on the search engines.

...

After leaving the Sky Technologies building, Adrian drove his Mercedes‑Benz S‑Class S 580, which he had just bought before coming to the company.

Adrian drove the car to a restaurant that was located not that far away from the company.

He found a parking space, parked the car, before he entered the restaurant.

As soon as he entered, he was welcomed by one of the waiters.

"Sir, would you like me to guide you to a table, or have you made a reservation?" The lady asked in a polite tone.

"I have made a reservation for the private room number 7." Adrian responded.

"This way, sir. Let me lead you there." The waiter responded, before she guided Adrian to the first floor, where the private room was located.

As soon as he sat down, Adrian looked at the watch on his wrist, realizing that there were still about 10 minutes until the time of the meeting.

He was planning to do something else when suddenly, the door of the private room was opened, before a lady walked in.

Adrian looked over, realizing that it was a lady with a poised, confident presence, with her black hair falling past her shoulders and sharp green eyes.

Her light, sleeveless cream blouse and knee-length taupe skirt suited the summer heat while remaining professional, finished with nude heels, a delicate watch, and simple stud earrings.

This observation was made by Adrian in a very short time, to the extent that Rose, who had just entered, felt as though Adrian had only glanced at her, before he shifted his attention elsewhere.

As she approached, she shook hands with Adrian while saying, "Hello Mr. Santos. My name is Rose Harvey, I am a client manager from Apex Bank.

We talked over on the phone this morning."

"Welcome, please have a seat." Adrian responded as he shook hands with Rose.

As she sat down, Rose could not help but take a few glances at Adrian. She had not expected that he was this young.

The previous day, when Michael texted her, informing her that Adrian would be the one that would be in charge of his account, she was not that much surprised.

It was just that, she had not anticipated that after being informed that Adrian's account would also need upgrading, in his account, there was actually $900 million!

That amount of money was three times the amount that was in Michael's account. But for some reason, Adrian, whose account had a lot of money, was actually Michael's assistant?

And looking at him, he looked to be quite young, with the information recorded during the time that he was opening the account showing that he was 23 years old.

As for Michael, he was even younger, only 18 years old. She was quite curious about their background, but she did not dare to do any background check on them.

But anyway, she was shocked about the fact that their families would allow them to control such a huge amount of money.

"So, let's get straight to the point. For the upgrade, there is a document here that you would need to sign." Rose said as she set aside the acknowledgment letter that Adrian had handed over to her.
