He then ordered the system, 'Claim the reward for the hidden mission: Hero of Braveness!'
[ You have received 200 Experience Points.
The Maybach S-Class Ultimate Elegance Edition will be promptly delivered to Summit Motors.
The relevant documents pertaining to the boutique have already been signed. For security and safekeeping, they were sent to your penthouse and will be stored in a secure location until you retrieve them. ]
Now that the Maybach S-Class Ultimate Elegance Edition was en route to a nearby premium car dealership, Lucien couldn't help but think about the sheer luxury he was about to experience. The idea of owning such a high-end vehicle was thrilling, and he was looking forward to the convenience and comfort it would offer.
While he had grown accustomed to taking the bus and using public transportation as part of his daily routine of before, having the Maybach was a game-changer. Why go through the hassle of waiting at bus stops and adhering to a schedule when he had a luxurious car at his disposal? It was a stark reminder of how quickly life could change, and Lucien didn't want to miss out on this opportunity.
As he contemplated the upcoming car pickup and his evolving lifestyle, Lucien couldn't help but laugh at himself for holding onto some of his old habits. He realized that he needed to adapt to his new circumstances, making the most of the advantages and opportunities that came his way.
And, of course, he still possessed his unique ability—the Wheel of Fortune. With a sense of anticipation, he decided to apply this ability to the reward from the hidden mission, eager to see what additional benefits or surprises it might unveil. After all, who could resist the allure of fortune's whims when it came to the Maybach and the other rewards he had earned?
[ Wheel of Fortune ability activated. ]
In front of him, the Wheel with the numbers from 1 to 100 materialized, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fascination as he gazed upon it. It was new and engaging each time, and he was still coming to terms with how significantly this ability had already altered his life.
He mentally ordered the wheel to spin, and it rotated gracefully, the numbers blurring as they circled. With another mental command, he stopped the wheel, and it landed on the number 76.

"Alex, can you provide me with brief descriptions of these rewards so I can form a better understanding?" Lucien felt a mix of curiosity and confusion. The term "StealthLux Phantom Regal" had him stumped, as it was a name he had never come across. While he had some inkling about LuxeUniverse Couture, his knowledge was rather limited, and he was eager to learn more about this company. To further complicate matters, he couldn't quite fathom the significance of his connection to Victor Sterling, particularly given the shared last name with the mall owner. Lucien surmised that there might be a family connection, but he wasn't entirely certain. Therefore, he sought more information to paint a clearer picture of these intriguing rewards that had come his way.

It took him a considerable amount of time to sift through the wealth of information provided by the system concerning his rewards. However, once he had meticulously combed through all the details, he found himself utterly stunned. This time, the system had not held back on words, presenting him with concrete and highly detailed descriptions. Initially, the sheer volume of information left him momentarily overwhelmed, but as he absorbed the detailed descriptions, a sense of satisfaction and clarity washed over him. He now had a much clearer and more vivid picture of the rewards he had been granted and what they entailed.
Lucien couldn't help but wonder why he had never come across this particular brand before. While he considered himself fairly well-versed in car brands, this one had eluded his awareness entirely. He mused, 'Is this brand something special, or is there a reason I've never heard of it?'
[ The reason why you might not have heard of this brand is that it's an exclusive, closely guarded secret among the elite. Only individuals of the highest social status and substantial financial means have access to this brand. It caters exclusively to the comfort and tastes of the wealthy, maintaining a certain air of mystery by keeping its brand name concealed from the general public. In essence, it is a well-kept secret known only to the privileged high class and the system, of course. ]
"Now that explains why I haven't heard of this brand before," Lucien mused. His initial surprise gave way to a sense of understanding, and he nodded to himself.
As he recounted the information he had received about the company, the realization slowly dawned on him: this company was worth a staggering $266 million. It was a fact that left him momentarily speechless and a little nervous. He needed some time to process this newfound responsibility and privilege. He sat there for a moment, quietly contemplating the significance of his new role. It struck him that he was now the CEO of a company valued at $266 million. While the Echelon Research Institute had held great importance in his eyes, this new venture was worth more than triple that, a realization that filled him with a mix of awe and trepidation.
As Lucien tried to calm his racing thoughts, he realized that telling himself it wasn't a big deal simply wasn't working. He acknowledged that it was a significant responsibility, and his initial efforts to downplay it had been in vain.
He then engaged in some internal self-talk, determined to quell his apprehension. "Stop being such a coward and get a grip on yourself and your emotions," he chided himself. "This isn't the time to crumble under pressure. I will rise even higher, and I need to come to terms with this fact as soon as possible. I will make it, there's nothing to worry about. I have the system and my own abilities. There's no reason to be afraid."
He repeated these affirmations to himself until the formerly apprehensive expression on his face transformed into one of sheer determination. "I don't want to be looked down upon again, and to prevent that, I need to grow up. I will rise up; I'm certain of it."
With his renewed determination, Lucien delved into the remaining information he had received. Recognizing the company's potential, he began to formulate several ideas for its development. However, he also understood that, given its international reach, a personal visit to the company was a necessity, and he planned to make this trip before returning to Starcity.
Acknowledging that his main mission took precedence at the moment, he realized there wouldn't be time for immediate changes or extensive involvement with the new company. Therefore, he made the conscious decision to postpone further actions regarding the company for a later date. Instead, he would direct his focus and energy toward the main mission at hand, ensuring that he would be well-prepared to tackle the challenge that was awaiting him.
The information about Victor Sterling was the most surprising and jarring for Lucien. Not only was Victor Sterling an incredibly important figure, but he was also the husband of Lena Sterling, whom Lucien had encountered earlier. To add to the intrigue, Victor's daughter held a significant role in the company as the director of LuxeUniverse Couture. The extensive influence and connections of this family left Lucien both astonished and intrigued. He was genuinely curious to unravel the secrets behind their remarkable success and discover what made this family so uniquely accomplished.
Having gone through all the information and gained a clear understanding of his rewards, Lucien proceeded to claim them. A new panel appeared in his line of sight with details.
[ The StealthLux Phantom Regal will be delivered to the private garage of your penthouse since the host already has a car here in Ardenvale. If the host wishes to change the location, you would now need to give the upgraded location; otherwise, the location won't be able to be changed.
The documents related to LuxeUniverse Couture have also already been signed. For security and safekeeping, they were sent to your penthouse and will be stored in a secure location until you retrieve them.
Regarding the connection to Victor Sterling, the system can't say any concrete information. ]
Lucien didn't change the location, as the system was right; he wouldn't need this car here right now, as he already had the Maybach.
He took the last sip of his coffee and looked at the clock on his phone, then went to the counter where Sophia stood. He paid for the coffee and said his goodbyes before leaving the café.
He still had time until Lizzie would be off from school, but he needed to go to the car dealership to get the car and wanted to take a quick ride with it to get accustomed to it.
Lucien knew the location of Summit Motors, so he arrived quickly and entered the dealership. As he walked in, he cast a curious gaze around the upscale interior, realizing that this was indeed a place meant for those with significant wealth.
Initially, the salesperson ignored him, assuming he was just there to browse. Lucien appeared youthful, and they had likely encountered similar situations before. Unperturbed, Lucien decided to approach the sales counter directly.
