After a while, the vehicles stopped in front of a building with a large blue star logo with Star written inside.
'Star Technology! Why are we here? Don't tell me.'
Ethan thought to himself, turned, and glanced at his grandfather standing beside him with a surprised expression on his face.
"Let's go. This is just the tip of the business empire your ancestors created; next it will be passed down to you, then to your future generation."
Grandfather spoke proudly, patted his shoulder, and then walked forward inside the building.
"Chairman,"
Everyone greeted his grandfather politely; at the same time, they showed a very surprised expression looking at Ethan.
"Mr. Chairman, welcome," Just before reaching the elevator, a young female appeared in a hurry wearing a black secretary suit.
She greeted his grandfather and then glanced at Ethan with a smile on her face and added,
"Welcome to the Star company, Master Ethan,"
Ethan nodded calmly in return, while his grandfather asked, looking at her, "Have they arrived?"
'Is this the chairman's grandson who just recovered? Probably the chairman brought him here to show him the company; also, he will be my future boss. I have to act carefully. By the way, he is quite handsome.'
She thought to herself and then nodded, gestured toward the special elevator, and replied with a graceful smile on her face.
"Please, sir, all the board of directors have already arrived; they are waiting for you inside the meeting hall,"
Grandfather nodded and then walked past her toward the elevator. Ethan and Lily both followed him and walked inside the special elevator.
After walking outside from the elevator, they passed through the corridor and appeared inside the meeting room.
Upon entering the hall, Ethan noticed three old figures sitting at the huge conference table with an elite atmosphere around their presence.
All three of them stood up upon seeing his grandfather walking inside and greeted him politely with smiles covering their faces.
"Chairman, How are you?"
"I am fine; please sit down."
Grandfather replied and told them to sit down calmly and then walked forward and sat down on the chair beside the main chairman's seat.
The three old men showed surprised expressions, including the secretary standing beside Ethan.
Grandfather Earl didn't care about their surprised expression; he glanced at Ethan and pointed at the chairman's seat, speaking directly.
"Ethan, sit down on this seat; after today, you will be the CEO of this company."
All directors, including the secretary behind, were surprised, and then they fell silent. Then the three old directors returned to their senses, looking at Ethan in amazement, and asked,
"Chairman, is he your grandson?"
"Indeed he is my grandson; you old guys must help him and teach him everything about business. Also, don't worry; he has the Walter bloodline running through his veins; I am sure he won't slow you down."
The grandfather, Earl, then spoke with a proud smile on his face.
Ethan nodded in the direction of three directors calmly and walked forward, sat down on the seat pointed by his grandfather confidently,
The old directors also nodded in return and then one by one praised with a smile.
"No one dares to doubt Walter's bloodline; congratulations, chairman, for finding a successor and passing Walter's legacy."
'This chairman election is quite smooth; no one raised any concern or doubts. Is Walter's bloodline really that strong in this world?'
Ethan thought secretly and then spoke with a confident expression on his face, looking at them.
"I won't boast here, but I will definitely outperform all of your expectations; please take care of me in the future."
'Calm and composed words, confidence in every gesture, also demeanor as if keeping the whole world in your sleeves, as expected of the Walter bloodline, each future generation is more competitive than the previous one, a lineage full of cunning monsters,'
The three old directors thought in surprise, seeing the calm and confident expression on Ethan; they could see the shadow of the chairman on him.
"Ha ha ha, that's my grandson. Learn to rule this world; it doesn't matter if you destroy this small company during the learning process."
Grandfather laughed and spoke arrogantly; the old directors in front of him fell speechless; all of them smiled wryly, but no one dared to refute him.
Ethan's mouth twitched, and then he glanced at his grandfather speechlessly.
'Star technology is a small company?' He wondered in his heart; he couldn't help but start thinking about those famous top companies in the world surpassing the star technology.
"Ethan, let me introduce these three old guys to you. They are controlling the three main departments of the company. The left one is Bart, the head of R&D; the right one is William, head of the finance department; and the middle one, Boris, is the general manager of the company. There is another competent boy; he was the previous CEO of this company. I transferred him to another company under my name."
The grandfather, Earl, introduced everyone one by one and then informed them about the previous CEO.
"Nice to meet you all," Ethan was surprised; he didn't expect these old guys to be the current employees along with shareholders, and then he greeted them politely.
After the introduction, they started overviewing the company's recent performance.
Ethan also learned about the company's recent research projects, financial aspects, and management relationships.
After the meeting is over,
Ethan strolled in the company with his grandfather and met with company managing staff, research managers, and other elite members of the company, and then both of them returned to the Walter house.
Upon reaching inside the villa area, passing through the main gate, Ethan glanced around, seeing the huge land surrounding their Walter villa covering a few hundred acres on each of the four sides equally.
"This is our land; a one-mile area from each side of the villa is our Walter's territory; no one can invade this space except with our permission."
Grandfather Earl commented, pointing at the land around guarded by advanced security, while their SUVs stopped beside the main villa door.
Ethan was surprised in his heart and then nodded thoughtfully.
'Walter rules the business field of the southern empire; it's understandable that everything about them is protected, but such protection will be of no use in front of an imminent disaster.'
He thought to himself and then walked inside the villa along with his grandfather.
"Ringing!"
Instantly the grandfather's phone rang; he grabbed the phone out with a confused expression.
"An unknown number is calling me on my personal contact number?"
Grandfather Walter spoke suspiciously, looking at the unknown number on his screen; he answered it and spoke.
"Walters speaking,"
There was silence on the other side of the phone, and then someone spoke.
"Mr. Earl Walter, Please listen to me patiently; the world is going to fall into huge trouble."
