Getting a Technology System in Modern Day

Chapter 85 Raising From The Ashes Pt. 01

?

On the same Monday,

After spending the majority of the week on the road, Aron had successfully gathered all the necessary brain data from individuals on his list located in the United Kingdom. His exhaustive efforts have finally come to fruition.

Subsequently, Aron proceeded to the Icon Hotel where he had only stayed for about 4 hours but only used their rental car services to check out before heading to the airport for his next destination.

Upon departing from the presidential suite at the Icon Hotel, Aron generously rewarded his driver with a tip of 20,000 dollars for chauffeuring him across the entire country throughout the week.

Afterwards, he boarded the private jet that was waiting for him to travel from London to Paris, and then utilized a combination of trains and car rentals to travel to the location of CERN. This was necessary as many of the individuals on his list were located there, and he needed to collect their brain data.

However, Aron didn't just head straight to CERN, as Nova had arranged his journey to ensure that he had collected brain data from individuals throughout the entirety of France before arriving at his final destination.

...

On the same Monday,

Rina Rothchild's mansion.

By Friday, Chloe had successfully terminated and replaced all the members on the list, resulting in significant commotion within the private network. Today, on Monday, Rina finally decided to embark on her journey back to the top.

In her office, Rina could be seen sitting in front of her computer having a discussion with Ava about the steps they would need to take for her to regain power.

"Now that we have successfully completed the purge, let us begin our return,"  Said Rina

[Yes Rina].

Rina reached for her phone to contact a member of the company's board, but in reality, these individuals were all relatives with ties to the Rothschild family. So, it could be said that she was actually making a call to a family member.

"Hello?" came the voice from the other end of the line after picking up the phone.

"Hello, Hebel," Rina greeted the family member on the other end of the line with a hint of exhaustion in her voice, as if she had been through a lot.

"Why did you call?" Hebel asked from the other end, showing his curiosity about the reason for Rina's call. 

Hebel had a feeling that Rina might be getting desperate and calling for help to return to her position within the family. This boosted his ego, as he was a member of the family who couldn't compete for the head position. 

Therefore, having a family member who could compete for the head position beg him for help in desperation would be quite fulfilling.

"Are you available at the moment?" Rina asked in a voice that conveyed a sense of desperation, suggesting that she had been pushed to her limits.

"Although I'm busy, I can spare about fifteen minutes for you," Hebel replied, feeling a sense of ecstasy for having the upper hand in the conversation.

"Can I come and see you for a talk? I have something important to ask you".

"Sure, I'll be waiting for you at my mansion," Hebel agreed to the meeting, feeling a sense of satisfaction from Rina's apparent desperation.

"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes," Rina replied, but her voice suddenly changed halfway through the sentence, forcing Ava to quickly take over and use a voice modulator, to ensure that Hebel didn't realize that the entire situation was just an act on her part. 

Despite having fun with the situation, Rina wanted to maintain the illusion of desperation and keep up the act to achieve her desired outcome.

"I'll be waiting for you then," Hebel said before ending the call, wanting to assert his dominance in the situation.

Rina on the other side was laughing her ass off after recalling the excitement and sense of superiority in Hebel's voice on the other end of the line.

[Rina, you almost blew up your act] Ava scolded her jokingly, as she too was enjoying the act they had put on for Hebel.

As a wiseman once said, if you have to do something, you might as well have fun doing it. (SuntZu).

"Anyway, let's go. We have a meeting to attend," Rina said as she grabbed her phone and tablet, preparing to leave her office.

"Alex and Chloe, follow me. We have a meeting with someone in ten minutes," Rina instructed as she walked past Chloe's desk, leading the way while the others followed closely behind.

"Where are we going, Miss?" Chloe asked as she walked alongside Rina, heading outside the mansion.

"We're going to Hebel's residence," Rina said as she climbed into the car that Alex had brought around for them.

Once they were all in the car, they began to make their way to Hebel's mansion, which was located inside their expansive compound.

The family compound was so vast that they had paved roads connecting the various mansions, making it easier for vehicles to move around.

Due to the large size of the family compound, each member had their own mansion. However, since it was not feasible to build all the mansions in the same location, they were constructed far apart from each other. This necessitated the use of cars to travel from one mansion to another within the compound.

As they rode in the car, Chloe couldn't help but express her concern to Rina. "Miss, why are we going to his house? You know he'll just belittle you if you ask for his help," she said in a worried tone. Meanwhile, Alex remained focused on driving.

"You don't have to worry about that, Chloe. I have something that will make him humble," Rina reassured her in a confident tone, as Alex continued driving without saying a word.

"Okay," Chloe replied, trusting Rina's judgment and not pressing for further details.

The journey continued in silence for a few more minutes until they arrived at the porte-cochere of Hebel's mansion. The car came to a stop and they got out, where they were greeted by a servant who immediately led them to Hebel's office.

After navigating through the ostentatiously decorated mansion that gave off a sense of insecurity, they finally reached Hebel's office. The maid knocked on the door to announce their arrival.

"Enter," Hebel said in response to the maid's knock.

"You can go in now," the maid said, opening the door for Rina and her secretary to enter.

Rina entered the room, followed by Chloe, but she stopped her and said, "I will be having a private meeting with him. You wait for me here." Rina looked at both Chloe and Alex as she spoke.

Upon hearing Rina's statement, Hebel's assumption was confirmed, and he became even more convinced that she was there to plead for his assistance, which only inflated his ego further.

After instructing Chloe and Alex to wait outside, Rina entered Hebel's office and closed the door behind her before taking a seat.

After Rina took a seat, Hebel remained focused on his computer screen, giving no indication that he considered Rina's presence to be more important than his current task.

Rina remained silent, allowing Hebel to continue feeding his own ego. She knew that the higher he rose, the harder he would fall.

After carrying on with his act of working for over fifteen minutes and observing that Rina had remained silent throughout, Hebel finally decided to acknowledge her presence, feeling that he had fulfilled his desire for asserting dominance.

So, he stood up from his desk and walked over to sit in front of Rina, finally ready to hear her reason for coming to him.

Rina stared directly into Hebel's eyes and remarked, "You appear to have grown quite arrogant, making me wait for fifteen minutes before attending to me."

To Hebel, Rina's words seemed to be her final attempt at regaining her lost confidence.

"What can I say, I have something to do unlike you. So, I can't just be available all the time," Hebel said, while crossing his legs and showing that he was feeling quite comfortable and her words did nothing to him.

"Okay, go ahead and tell me, what can I help you with?" he said, after seeing Rina remain silent in response to his retort.

"I want you to give me your allegiance instead of my brother," Rina immediately stated her purpose for coming.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" when Hebel heard what she said he started laughing at the absurdity of what the bitch said.

"Are you serious? Being choked by Terry seems to have broken a blood vessel in your brain. And on top of that, the reports of you firing nearly all of your employees in a fit of rage. Are you sure you're okay?" Hebel said mockingly while still laughing.

Rina said nothing and just remained calm during the entirety of the ordeal.

When Hebel saw that Rina remained quiet and serious throughout his entire mocking barrage, he finally decided to ask.

"Why should I do that? For you, a bird who lost her wings, of all people, why?" Hebel asked in a degrading manner.
