Charles was still reeling from the phone call and the abrupt departure of Alex. He couldn't help but wonder about the mysterious organization that could transfer such an enormous amount of money so quickly. Thoughts raced through his mind as he tried to make sense of it all.
"Who is Alex Blackshild? And what kind of organization has the power to move billions in an instant?" Charles pondered, feeling a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. He had encountered wealthy families and powerful organizations throughout his career, but none of them could match the speed and efficiency displayed by Alex.
Unable to quell his curiosity, Charles turned to Alex and said, "I can see that you have connections to some extraordinary circles. The organization that helped you transfer the funds, is it one I should be aware of?"
Alex, aware of Charles' unease, replied calmly, "It's best if you don't know the details of my connections. Let's focus on the school. Tell me more about it so I can be prepared."
Charles nodded, understanding that delving too deep into Alex's background might not be wise. He proceeded to describe the school in more detail, providing insights from his own experience.
"The school is situated in a unique village nestled near the Alps. The entire village functions as the school, with residents being students, teachers, or other staff members. Each student lives with four other students in a villa, fostering an environment of teamwork and collaboration throughout their time there."
Charles continued, "However, it's important to note that in order to stay at the school, you'll be expected to showcase your wealth and flaunt it in front of others, even if it goes against your preferences. The atmosphere can be quite competitive, akin to being in the mouth of a shark. If you're not careful, you could easily be swallowed up."
Alex listened attentively, absorbing every detail about the school. He could sense the underlying caution in Charles' words, signaling that the experience wouldn't be a walk in the park.
Curiosity piqued, Alex asked, "Why do you have such detailed knowledge of this place? You mentioned you were a student there in the past. What was your experience like?"
Charles paused for a moment, reminiscing about his time at the school. "Yes, many years ago, I was a student there as well. I was one of the top students in my year. Attending that school opened up doors for me and played a significant role in shaping my career. Despite the strict-sounding nature of the place, it served as a training ground for students who had already excelled in their studies and acquired various abilities prior to admission."
Understanding the potential value of the opportunity, Alex's excitement grew. "So, if I complete my studies at this school, will I receive recognized degrees?"
Charles nodded, a hint of pride in his voice. "Absolutely. The degrees awarded by the school are highly regarded and prestigious. They are among the best you can attain."
Determined to seize this chance to further his education and gain recognition, Alex declared, "Please, Charles, arrange everything for me. I don't want to miss out on this opportunity."
Charles smiled, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. "Consider it done. I'll make all the necessary arrangements for your enrollment at the school."
With their conversation concluded, Alex stood up, placing the new card he received from the bank into his wallet. He bid Charles farewell and left the bank, his mind buzzing with thoughts about his upcoming journey.
Meanwhile, Charles picked up his phone and dialed a familiar number. The voice on the other end greeted him warmly, "Hello, Adam, it's me."
"Hey, Charles! It's been a while since I heard from you. What can I do for our esteemed account manager today?" Adam responded playfully.
"In two weeks, a student named Alexander Blackshild will be joining your school. I need you to handle all the necessary arrangements for him."
Adam's curiosity was piqued. "Wow, Charles, you rarely make personal calls like this. Who is this Alexander Blackshild that has you reaching out personally?"
"I'm not entirely sure either, but let's just say he's our bank's most important customer. His wealth exceeds even that of Jeff Bezos."
Adam couldn't hide his astonishment. "Are you joking? We're talking about over a hundred billion dollars in cash? That's inconceivable!"
"Exactly! So, please take care of everything for him. And if you find out anything interesting about him, do let me know."
Charles and Adam continued their conversation, delving deeper into the enigmatic persona of Alexander Blackshild, while Alex, who had lingered outside the bank, listened attentively to their every word.
As the conversation ended, Alex hailed another taxi, this time heading to a luxury car dealership. He had decided that if he was going to make a grand entrance and showcase his wealth, he needed an equally impressive vehicle.
Within minutes, the taxi pulled up in front of the opulent dealership, where Alex was greeted by a friendly and enthusiastic young salesperson.
"Welcome! How can I assist you today?" the salesperson asked, his smile welcoming and genuine.
Alex returned the smile and replied, "Hey, I'm looking to purchase a car."
"You've come to the right place! This is the largest luxury car dealership in the city, and we have an extensive range of cars with customizable options. Is this your first car purchase?"
The salesperson's friendly demeanor put Alex at ease, and he responded, "Yes, it is. I'm excited to explore the options available."
The salesperson, aware of Alex's youth and eager to make a sale, continued, "Well, we have some exceptional choices here. Maybach, Lamborghini, Ferrari... You name it, we have it. Let's find the perfect car for you. Tell me more about what you're looking for."
As they delved into a discussion about Alex's preferences and desires in a car, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. The prospect of driving a luxurious vehicle that matched his newfound status and would undoubtedly turn heads was exhilarating.
Hours flew by as Alex explored various models and discussed their features and capabilities with the salesperson. The conversation flowed naturally, with both parties immersed in the world of luxury automobiles.
Finally, after careful consideration, Alex made his choice and declared, "I've found the one. I choose the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ."
The salesperson's face lit up with enthusiasm. "Excellent choice! The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is an absolute masterpiece, designed to make a statement on the road. Its distinctive styling, mind-blowing performance, and unparalleled driving dynamics will provide you with an unforgettable experience."
Satisfied with his decision, Alex nodded and said, "Thank you for your assistance. Please proceed with the necessary arrangements for the purchase."
The salesperson, excited to have made a sale, replied, "Certainly! I'll handle all the paperwork and ensure a smooth and efficient process. You'll be driving off in your new Lamborghini in no time."
As the salesperson got to work, Alex felt a sense of anticipation building within him. The prospect of owning a high-performance sports car, symbolizing his success and opening new doors, filled him with a sense of achievement.
