"What is it?" Henry asked with raised brows.

"There is a possibility that your grandfather already knows about this person called Michael Santos, if he is the same person that we are investigating.

After all, if your uncle left the family without anything, it would be impossible for Michael Santos to be able to own 14% shares of Vanguard Corporation," Chris explained.

Henry furrowed his brows when he heard this. It seemed he would have to talk his grandfather about this. But of course, he had to make sure that his father did not know about it, or things could get out of control.

"Okay. There is no need to worry about this for the time being. Just focus on investigating about his identity." Henry contemplated for a moment before he said.

...

After the incident involving Kevin, Michael went back to Riverside Residential community. He did not bother with the issue related to Kevin.

That guy, after losing all the support that he had, all that awaited him was suffering. And to make sure of that, Michael had made some arrangements, to make sure that nobody would help him out.

After going back to the villa, for the rest of the day, Michael did not do anything else apart from relaxing.

Being out with Alex and the others was kind of fun, but unfortunately, the fun was ruined by Kevin's appearance. Regardless, Michael did not worry about that, as there would be more chances in the future to interact with Alex and the others.

While he was relaxing in the swimming pool, Adrian suddenly approached. And as soon as Michael saw him, he asked, "How's everything?"

"I have already made arrangements for Bernard to join Vanguard Corporation. But, the plans involving the training program will have to wait until your full acquisition of the security company.

So, until the full acquisition, he will be incorporated into the company, and would be assigned duties that match his skills." Adrian responded.

Michael nodded. The plan that he had for Vanguard Corporation was something that could only be implemented after he took over the entire company.

Thankfully, if he needed to acquire the shares, there was no need for him to struggle. All that he needed was to have enough SP, then he could acquire the company.

At the moment, his SP balance was at 182,508 points. This was equivalent to $18.2508 billion.

At the moment, the value of Vanguard Corporation stood at $74 billion. With him holding 14% of the shares, which were acquired with 103,600 SP, he would need at least 636,400 points more.

If each skill was pushed to the expert level, Michael would need about 106 skills more. And if he went all out, with four skills per day, that would take him at least 26½ days.

So basically, this plan had to wait for almost a month before it could be initiated. But before then, some other plans could be made, only waiting for him to acquire the company before they could be initiated.

Still, this was nothing that could be considered urgent. After, at the moment, Sky Technologies still needed to expand. So, Michael was thinking, he would have Sky Technologies expand first.

As long as it could break through to the central province, and start competing against those giants of the technology industry, he would be making a foundation for himself.

Previously, Michael had thought about taking things slowly. But now, he thought maybe he should speed things up?

Just as Michael was thinking about this, he realized that Adrian was still standing there. From the looks of it, he had more to inform him about.

"Is there something else?" Michael asked.

"Yeah. There is someone that is investigating about you. It is not Dwayne Richard's from Vanguard Corporation, but someone that is affiliated to the Santos family. Should I investigate them, to see why they are investigating you?" Adrian responded before he asked.

Michael raised his brows slightly when he heard that. Unexpectedly, he had already attracted the attention of the Santos family?

But as he thought about it, he realized that it was inevitable. After all, despite the fact that he usually tried to hide his information, it was impossible to hide his name.

That was especially considering that during the acquisition of companies, his full names were required, together with a few more other details.

Most probably, the reason why someone from the Santos family was investigating him was because of the acquisition of 14% shares of Vanguard Corporation.

With Dwayne Richards actively searching for information on Michael, it was inevitable that he would investigate the Santos family. And by doing that, it would obviously attract someone's attention, and inevitably, the people from the Santos family would know about his existence.

It was not that Michael doubted that someone already knew about his existence. It was just that, they were ignoring his existence until now.

But as long as they knew about his current moves, then, they would have to start paying attention to him all the time.

Michael was not afraid of the Santos family. If he really decided to deal with them, he had to deal with the syndicate that they were in charge of.

That was something that could be easily accomplished. After all, just a few bio humans that focused on combat were sufficient.

They did not need to actively attack the main headquarters of the syndicate. Instead, they could attack the outlets of the businesses that they had, deal with a few gangsters under them, making sure that they could not continue their businesses efficiently.

By doing this, it was inevitable that the syndicate would end up collapsing after a while. And there was another option, Michael could simply reveal the information on this syndicate.

The government might not be able to deal with this syndicate, considering the possibility of some connections between the government and this syndicate. But the same could not be said about the other syndicate present within this nation.

If they could get some crucial information on the syndicate run by the Santos family, they would inevitably deal with them, intending to be the dominant force within the underworld of this nation.

So, not even for a moment did Michael fear the Santos family. It was just that, he was someone who did not like trouble. But if someone came looking for trouble, Michael would not shy away from dealing with them.

For the time being, some people were just doing some investigation on him. So, it was inevitable that they would be able to find about his whereabouts.

Onyx currently had the ability of hiding his information, but that was something that involved electronic data. For the information on him that was in hard copy, that was something that was outside the capabilities of Onyx dealing with.

Additionally, the information on him could be acquired from people that knew him before. So, no matter how incredible technology he had, unless he had the ability of detecting where the hard copy information on him was, and he could alter the memories of the people that knew him, it was impossible for him to be able to hide forever.

"Okay, there is no need. I can already make a guess of who is investigating me. Just focus on Sky Technologies. There is no need for us to take things slowly anymore.

So, just focus on expanding Sky Technologies as much as possible. If there are experts that are needed, just let me know and I will get them." Michael said after a moment of thought.

"Yes." Adrian nodded before he turned around and left.

Michael remained in the swimming pool for quite a while, before he went back to his room. And after changing into a new pair of clothes, he relaxed on the bed.

Now, he began contemplating on what to do.

Previously, he had been holding back, not using the system store to the full extent of its abilities. But now, if he really decided to venture into the central province, he would have to go all out.

The business world was a battlefield. It was either he dealt with his opponents, or they would deal with him instead.

As a result, Michael was thinking about making preparations. Since people could investigate about him, it was inevitable that John and the others from the orphanage might be involved.

There was even a possibility that Kate, despite being in NEXUS organization, she might end up being targeted.

It was just that, Michael had no intention of using the technology from the system to guarantee the safety of these people. After all, if they came to know about the ADLA, it would raise so many questions.

And if someone shot them in the public, and they did not die, it would inevitably attract the attention of the government. And at that time, their lives would be implicated, and they would no longer be able to live a normal life again.

But, there were other metals that could be used to guarantee their safety. So, without hesitation, Michael quickly accessed the system store to look for the solution.

Slowly, he began filtering, and in a little while, he was able to find what he was looking for.
