The sun rose quietly over the horizon as Martin stood on the tarmac, watching the private jet being readied for departure.
The last few months had passed in a blur of preparation and transition.
Martin's move toward Tuvalu was anything but simple, yet with the careful coordination between Tuvalu's Government of Foreign Affairs, Morgan Private Bank, and the Cross family's connections, it went smoother than he could have ever anticipated.
With Lucia's 20% shares now comfortably separated into a local company to benefit from governmental support, Martin had been able to shift the other 80% of his assets overseas.
The newly established company in the capital of Tuvalu was nothing more than a framework at the moment, existing only on paper with no employees or operational assets. But it was the foundation, a springboard for Martin's future endeavors.
