Aditya was sitting in the manager's office when the manager, in a very serious tone, asked him, "Sir, although you have given me this card and claim that it belongs to you, I am one hundred percent sure this card does not belong to you. So, can you please tell me whose card this is?"
Hearing this, Aditya simply replied, "This card belongs to my father."
"And who is your father? What is his name?" the manager asked further.
"My father's name is Ranveer Singh Chauhan," Aditya replied.
When the manager heard this, he was taken aback. He asked, "And what does your father do?"
Aditya didn't really want to answer the manager's questions, but he also understood that the manager was just doing his job. So, he replied, "Who else could he be? My dad was a warrior from the 21st century who reached the planetary level. And yes, he was the one who saved humanity from the attacks of artificial intelligence and a Type 1 Civilization. Now, don't ask me who launched these attacks and why, because if you know my father's name and are aware of those attacks, then you must also know how severely they impacted human civilization.
"Also, let me tell you that my dad had a total of 12 wives. This is something most people don't know. Many people believe he had only 10 wives, but he married two more after the second war. They were his girlfriends before, but they preferred to stay out of the public eye."
The manager was stunned to hear all this from Aditya because it matched everything he had read in the records. This secret was so significant that only Sovereign Bank and Ranveer Singh Chauhan's direct students were aware of it. Even within Sovereign Bank, only people at very high posts knew about it.
After a moment, the manager asked impatiently, "Are you telling the truth? You do realize this is no ordinary joke, and if you're lying, it could get you into serious trouble."
Aditya simply smiled at this, and the manager understood that he wasn't joking. Still, he continued asking questions to confirm Aditya's claims. When he was finally satisfied that Aditya knew every secret mentioned in Sauren Bank's classified files, he still couldn't be completely sure if Aditya was truly Ranveer's son.
In fact, Aditya had learned all this information from the system that had merged with him. On the day the system integrated itself with Aditya, it had shared every detail about itself, his father, and their connection.
Finally, the manager said, "Sir, we are almost convinced of your claims, but to be entirely sure, we will need a drop of your blood. Would you be willing to provide that?"
Aditya agreed without hesitation and immediately gave a drop of his blood to the manager.
After collecting a drop of Aditya's blood, the manager immediately left for a specific destination. Shortly afterward, he arrived at Sovereign Bank's head office, where he promptly informed his higher officials about everything Aditya had told him. Along with this, he handed over the drop of Aditya's blood.
In fact, the manager and every branch manager of Sovereign Bank had strict orders that if anyone ever claimed to be connected to Ranveer Singh Chauhan in the future, they must collect a drop of their blood. Until now, no one had ever come forward since Ranveer Singh Chauhan had disappeared. However, they suspected that if Ranveer Singh Chauhan had made such an arrangement, it must have been for a reason.
As soon as the higher officials learned about the information from the manager, chaos erupted in the head office. They immediately decided to test Aditya's blood against the sample of Ranveer Singh Chauhan's blood that had been preserved.
Within 15 minutes, the test results were in, and the entire headquarters was in an uproar. The results were as follows:
- Blood: Perfect Match
- Power Level: Planetary Level Warrior
- Real Age: Only 18 years
Upon reviewing these results, the higher officials wasted no time. They immediately dispatched a convoy of vehicles to the Mumbai branch where Aditya was. This was no small matter, as Aditya was, in fact, the rightful authority over the entire bank. Leading the convoy was Sovereign Bank's Deputy Head, as the position of Head had always been reserved solely for Ranveer Singh Chauhan. No one had ever dared to claim it because everyone respected Ranveer Singh Chauhan immensely and regarded him as their idol. They also aspired to become as powerful as he was.
Soon, the convoy arrived at the Mumbai branch of Sovereign Bank. When the guards saw such a large convoy approaching, they quickly stepped aside, unable to hide their astonishment at the unexpected arrival of so many people from the head office.
As soon as the officials disembarked from their vehicles, they headed straight into the branch. Despite the branch being crowded, they paid no attention to the people there. Instead, they went directly to the manager's office.
As soon as they entered the manager's office, they saw a young man sitting calmly on a sofa, reading a magazine handed to him by the manager's secretary. The manager followed the higher officials into the office. The deputy head, Vivek Oberoi, was the first to observe Aditya closely. He then greeted him and said, "Young Master, my name is Vivek Oberoi, and I am the Deputy Head of this Sovereign Bank. May I know where you have been all this time? If you have returned to Earth, why didn't you meet us directly? Do you realize how worried we've been? Even after 300 years, we have been waiting for you and your father.
"But it doesn't matter now. You're finally here. By the way, I'd like to know where our boss is."
Hearing these words, Aditya smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I only found out yesterday that I am his son. My father wanted me to live the life of an ordinary person, just as he did, so that when I eventually discovered who I am, how powerful I am, and how many powerful people stand behind me, I wouldn't become arrogant. Instead, I would remain grounded, understanding my responsibilities."
Vivek Oberoi nodded in agreement because he knew this was exactly how his boss operated. Ranveer Singh Chauhan had personally hired him for this position, and Vivek was well aware of his boss's character.
Aditya then asked, "Can you tell me how much money I currently have in my account? I need to know so I can buy myself a good house and prepare for other tasks."
Hearing this, Vivek Oberoi laughed and said, "Oh, sir, what are you saying? Your house has always been ready. We've just been waiting for you to move in. Anyway, you told me how and when you discovered your identity, but can you tell me where the boss is now?"
Aditya fell silent, unsure how to tell Vivek Oberoi that his father had died in battle. Gathering his courage, he said, "Actually, my father achieved martyrdom in a war. It was a devastating conflict between two Type 3 Civilizations. My father and all his wives joined forces with one of the civilizations and fought alongside them, ultimately sacrificing their lives.
"Before his death, he ensured I was sent to this planet, where I arrived when I was just two or three months old. So, I didn't know much either. And by the way, a year there is equal to 50 years here, so you can imagine the time difference. At the time of his death, my father was at the peak of the ninth stage of Star Level, on the verge of reaching the next level. All my mothers were also at Star Level. I think this information should suffice for now. But you still haven't answered my question: how much money do I have in my account?"
Vivek Oberoi was so shaken by what he had just heard that he couldn't respond immediately. He was devastated to learn that his boss and all his wives had died. After a long pause, he composed himself, knelt down, and said, "Young Master, approximately 25% of the wealth in our bank was generated by the boss himself. He had invested in various companies, and we receive hundreds of billions of dollars annually from those investments.
"Because of this, the total liquid assets in our network currently stand at around 100 trillion dollars, and all of it belongs to you. You have complete authority over this wealth."
Aditya was stunned upon hearing this. He had never imagined, even in his wildest dreams, that his father had left behind such immense wealth for him. It took him a long time to process this information. When he finally did, he managed to say, "I had no idea my father left so much for me. Anyway, Mr. Vivek Oberoi, can you tell me when I can access it?"
Hearing Aditya address him as "Mr.," Vivek Oberoi requested, "Young master, please don't call me Mr. I'm not worthy of such respect from someone as great as you. You can access this wealth at any time. Also, starting today, the responsibility of this bank is yours. For the past 300 years, I've been managing it, but I believe it's time to pass it on to the next generation."
Aditya interrupted, saying, "There's no need for that. You will continue to manage this bank. If you're married and your children are capable of handling it, let them inherit the responsibility. You must understand that I'm a Planetary Level warrior, and I'll only be on this planet for another 20 to 30 years at most."
After Aditya stopped Vivek Oberoi from leaving his current position, Vivek immediately stayed. It wasn't because he was greedy for the position—not at all. Now, more than ever, he was not. This was because he, too, had reached the Planet level as a warrior. However, something that deeply troubled him was that he couldn't progress beyond the Planet level. It wasn't just him—no warrior was able to surpass the Planet level.
This was why he wanted to step away from his responsibilities and focus entirely on advancing his level. Aditya understood this and said, "I know you want to progress beyond the Planet level, but let me tell you, it's impossible to do so on this planet. However, now that I'm here, I will do everything I can to help you move forward. But before that, I want to clarify something: many people on this planet think that one directly progresses from the Planet level to the Star level, but that is entirely wrong.
It's similar to how the people on present-day Earth think about civilization development: from Type 1 to Type 2 and then to Type 3, where the entire galaxy is conquered. But that's not true. The reality is, in a Type 1 civilization, humanity uses 100% of Earth's resources. In a Type 2 civilization, they harness the entire solar system's energy. Have you ever thought about how you could jump from harnessing a single sun to controlling 500 billion stars? Absolutely not.
The progression is gradual—first 1 million stars, then 1 billion stars, and finally the entire galaxy. Similarly, the levels for warriors also follow stages. Warrior, Noble, Saint, Sage, and Planet all have four sub-stages: Initial, Mid, High, and Perfect. But when it comes to the Planet level, there are nine stages, and even within those, there are four sub-stages: First, Second, Third, and Fourth.
This same principle applies to civilizations. Every type of civilization has nine levels, and each level has four sub-stages. As humans progress, their civilizations advance incrementally. The progression looks like this:
- Type 1: Earth-level control
- Type 2: Solar system-level control
- Type 3: Control over 1 million stars
- Type 4: Control over 1 billion stars
- Type 5: Full galactic control
Likewise, the progression for warriors after the Planet level is as follows: Mega Planet, Star, Nebula Star, Cosmic Star, and finally Galactic level. Have you ever thought about how small Earth is compared to the Sun? Over 1.3 million Earths can fit inside the Sun.
So, to reach the next level, you must first progress to something akin to Jupiter, which is significantly larger and more powerful. Only after this can you aspire to the Star level. In other words, you must first become as powerful as 1,300 planets and then as powerful as 1.3 million planets. I hope you now understand. I'll do my best to provide the resources you need for this journey."
Hearing this, Vivek Oberoi felt relieved and grateful. He was confident Aditya would help him somehow. At the same time, he was astonished to learn how wrong people like him had been. They had always believed they could jump directly from the Planet level to the Star level. He had never imagined there was an intermediate stage called Mega Planet. Realizing this, he was deeply grateful to Aditya for enlightening him.
Aditya, on the other hand, knew all this only because the system had informed him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known either. After a long conversation, Aditya decided to leave the bank. As he got up, Vivek Oberoi stopped him and said, "Young Master, since you're about to manage such a massive empire, even indirectly, I won't object to your decision. It's all your business, and you can handle it however you wish. But before you go, I'd like to suggest that you hire a secretary to manage your affairs."
Aditya nodded, understanding he couldn't handle everything alone. However, he then asked Vivek, "That's fine, but who will be my secretary? I don't know anyone suitable."
Vivek replied, "Young Master, don't worry about that. My granddaughter, who is 100 years old, works at a high-ranking position in this very bank. I'm proud to say she is diligent and utterly loyal. If you don't mind, I'd like to appoint her as your personal secretary."
After thinking for a moment, Aditya agreed but asked, "That's fine, but will she be willing to become my secretary?"
Vivek reassured him, "You don't need to worry about that. Leave it to me."
Aditya nodded. Before leaving, he asked about the branch manager. Vivek immediately summoned the manager. The manager introduced himself, saying, "My name is Rishabh Malhotra." Aditya nodded and then said to Vivek, "We need people like him, who are grounded. Fire that receptionist who judges people based on their clothes. I don't want anyone in this bank who treats people poorly or looks down on them."
Both Vivek and Rishabh nodded in agreement. Vivek had already heard from Rishabh how Aditya had been mistreated upon entering the bank.
After giving these instructions, Aditya left the manager's office. Vivek and Rishabh followed behind him. Seeing the manager and another high-ranking official walking behind Aditya with such respect, everyone in the bank was stunned. The most shocked was the receptionist who had insulted Aditya and the others who had spoken ill of him. They were left wondering who Aditya truly was to command such respect.
However, neither the manager nor Vivek paid attention to the onlookers. They followed Aditya outside with their heads bowed in respect. Once outside, Aditya said, "You both should focus on your work now. I'm leaving."
As Aditya began to walk away, Vivek stopped him, saying, "Young Master, don't walk. Please take my car."
Aditya turned and replied, "If I take your car, how will you get home? Besides, I don't know how to drive."
Vivek smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. My driver will take you wherever you need to go." Aditya nodded and got into the car, leaving the bank.
After ensuring Aditya had left, both Vivek and Rishabh breathed a sigh of relief. They returned to the bank, and Rishabh immediately approached the receptionist who had insulted Aditya. "From today, you're no longer employed here. Pack your things and leave. We don't need people who judge others based on their appearance," he said.
The receptionist fell to the floor, crying and pleading for another chance, but Rishabh ignored her. He called security and had her escorted out. He then turned to the girl who had first insulted Aditya and warned her, "This is your first and last warning. If you ever behave like this again, your family's bank accounts will be permanently closed, and your entire family will be ruined."
The girl, terrified, nodded in fear. Meanwhile, the receptionist was dragged out of the building. Rishabh and Vivek then resumed their work, ensuring the bank operated smoothly.
