Hollywood Zenith

Chapter 100 Project S.U.N

Samuel embarks on the plane along with his group. Its been a week since they arrived in Japan, and it was time for them to return.

After the first day, they continued their adventure and visited most of the sections of Disneyland.

The park executives also allowed them to visit the new park, which was being built alongside the existing one.

Tokyo Disneysea consists of the theme of seven seas. It was a unique concept and the only one in the world. It had been reported to be open to the public after a few more years, but the park shell had already been completed.

Hannah and the girls enjoyed every minute of it and thanked Samuel for bringing them along. They have gotten close during this past week and looked like real siblings. They went through a lot during this trip and gained big in return.

It was late evening when they boarded the plane. They had their dinner, and Hannah and Adele went to bed first after a long day.

Samuel called Oscar and Karoline to a separate room in the plane's middle section. This area had a small room, and Samuel deemed it appropriate for their conversation.

Samuel was sitting in front of Oscar and Karolina, who had become comfortable enough to show their couple status. Over the week their relationship consolidated and they cared less about being seen in public or showing affection toward one another.

Iblis also accompanied the new couple seated with some space between them.

" Ok, We should discuss something while we are here." Samuel opened the conversation as the atmosphere became serious all of a sudden.

[A few hours ago]

Inside the Imperial palace

Samuel and his group were having a short meeting with the Imperial family.

" You could have stayed for a few more days. There are a lot more places to see here." Empress said she became fond of them during these short few days. Especially Hannah, who would follow her around occasionally.

" Yeah, Hannah also likes it here. She and Kako would run around the whole compound." Hana said, but her expression contained an ulterior motive.

" Madam, I have already told you. Young master can not stay here!" Oscar rebutted the old woman; he would always clash with her on this topic.

" Ok, Calm down, you know she is joking. Why do you always let her get under your skin?" Karoline calmed him down, to which he could only grumble. He didn't like to react to her provocation, but her smug expression would tick him off.

" I want to hear from you Samuel. Are you really leaving?" Emperor finally joined the conversation.

" Yes, there are some pressing matter that need some attention. It cannot be delayed or else I could have considered it." Samuel said.

" Ok, I wanted to check. I know that some of us were not very accommodating to you and your group. I am sorry about them."

" It's fine. I am fine beside they never harmed us in anyway."

" But being disrespectful to the guest is not a good look too."

" I know, but you guys made up for it. But let me say that people could only take so much of it. I hope you will understand if I have to open my hands in such scenarios." Samuel said with a serious face. It was an indirect threat to the most powerful man in the country.

" Hmm, You really are special, kid," Emperor said while chuckling. He was shocked inside, but as a leader, he was accustomed to having a poker face.

" How many decades has it been since anyone threatened me with a straight? " He thought and smiled but understood Samuel's reasoning. He knew about the power the Rothschild held. If they wish, they could single-handedly choke the economy of most countries without much effort.

" Ok, but don't be too tough on them. They are family, after all." Emperor made his decision. Rothschild was giving him face, but no one knew if that would continue.

They talked for about an hour before Samuel left the palace.

" Brother, will we meet them again? Sister Kako and Aika?" Hannah asked while they were inside the car.

" Yeah, I liked Aika. She visited every single day after, despite being beaten up everytime." Iblis said with a smile.

Aika had been visiting Samuel as she had promised. She would somehow find out about his location and challenge him repeatedly.

It was initially annoying, but it became a habit for Samuel after a couple of days. She also came very close to beating Samuel, but Samuel used some of his magical titles to mask his shortcomings.

Hannah and others also became close to her. Aika seemed to have a cold personality, but after, she too could not escape Hannah's cuteness.

Seeing her girls also became interested in fighting, but Samuel shut them down immediately. He deemed them too young, and they should learn from professionals if they genuinely want to learn it.

Girls had already said their goodbyes the day earlier. They exchanged their contact information and promised to learn each other's language to communicate better in the future.

At the airport, Fulio, along with Jenny, came to send him off. Folio wanted to hold a big event but Oscar advised against it.

It was happy for Fulio when Samuel remembered his name; he felt he had left a good impression on the young heir.

Jenny, she had a very mild reaction to it. She has been following Samuel for a week now and understands him well. He was different from other rich people that she would encounter. Talking to him felt like talking to an average person, except he was not normal.

They said their goodbyes as Samuel, and his group boarded the plane.

[ Present Time]

" What do you mean?" Iblis asked.

The other two were also curious about Samuel's remark. They have been acting as usual for the past week, putting the conversation on hold.

" You know what I mean. I have a plan." Samuel said while smiling.

He began to explain his plan, during which others listened attentively. They never questioned his explanation, but Samuel could see their changing facial expressions between critical points.

By the end, they were shocked and looked at Samuel with disbelief. The plan covered most of the bases and felt like a bull proof solution to their problems.

" Can it really be done? there are too many moving parts. What if something goes wrong?" Karoline asked.

" What? you don't trust me? I believe we can do it."

" Sami, It's not like I disagree but it is very risky. What if my father didn't agree to it?" Oscar asked.

" No, if there really is a solution, he would definitely agree to it. For now he is consumed by vengeance but seeing hope will definitely the wool off his eyes." Iblis gave her two cents about the matter.

" Right, Leave the discussions to me. You have to do your part. We have to ensure Karoline family's safety before the main event." Samuel said while looking toward Karoline.

Oscar and Karoline began contemplating it, but Iblis raised a question.

" But what about Adele? I think everyone know about it and acts oblivious to it."

" Yeah. But we have to do it for the greater good to avoid nedless bloodshed." Samuel said with a complicated expression.

" Greater good? Greater good! She would be heartbroken. I have been with her for months now and understand her feeling clearly. It will be a huge wedge between our relationship." Iblis exclaimed. She didn't like that Samuel tried to brush off his responsibility toward Adele with a 'greater good' excuse.

" You think I don't know it. I understand it clearly but I don't think anything good will come out of it with me being related to her. It will only bring more harm to her."

" Y-you, how can you say it? " Iblis shouted, but Samuel shut her down.

" You know how our lives are? Do you think she would be able to handle it? Being bullied is bad but think about being suppressed for life! Look at the crown princess Masako for example; she is a perfect example why being related people like us stress normal people. I don't wish such life for her."

Samuel had one more reason for it. In his Harem King title, he is 'bound' to have many partners, and ordinary people would never be able to accommodate such a lifestyle.

He was still unclear about the future; what if his decision now would make him like that in the future? If he could genuinely influence his fate and reject his title. Uncertainty plagued his mind, so he kept pushing it to the side.

Iblis could not say anything in opposition. Lady Masako herself talked briefly about her stressful life due to being admitted to royalty. Doctors also pointed out it as a possible cause for her repeated miscarriages. Iblis was also a product of it as being wed to someone she had no feelings for.

" I will support you young master. I agreee to your plan." Oscar said after some thought.

Samuel turned toward Karoline, who was still hesitant about it, but she sighed and resigned to her fate.

" Ok, I will also support you."

Lastly, Iblis, who opposed it, also accepted Samuels's proposal. With which 'Project SUN' was finalized.
