Chapter 57: Reasons to sell.

Wagner was 180 cm tall, with shoulder-length black hair and dark brown eyes. He was wearing a dark blue suit and tie as he walked over from his red Ferrari to Luan's vehicle.

As he walked towards Luan, Wagner's gaze was full of disdain, but also envy.

"I knew it was you... Only you drive a car like that." As soon as Wagner Hamibo opened his mouth, he laughed coldly, full of contempt.

"I'm not in the mood to hear your nonsense. Just tell me why you were following me?" Luan looked at Wagner and asked nonchalantly.

Wagner was a little surprised. He had expected to see timidity coming from Luan, who always feared Wagner when he saw him. However, he now spoke in a bored tone of voice and in an indifferent way.

"I will be direct," Wagner said arrogantly, "I want to buy the shares that your family has from Petrobras. My Hamibo family is willing to pay this amount."

Wagner passed Luan a paper and on the paper it showed the number of shares that Luan's mother had and the amount the Hamibo family was willing to pay.

In the year 2000, Luan's mother had bought 2% of Petrobras shares. At that time, she had paid 330 million dollars for the shares. This was what made her very rich, because, a few years later, Petrobras' value went up through the roof, and she sold 1% of it and still kept the other 1%, which was now worth 3.8 billion dollars.

And in the contract that the Hamibo family handed over, they were willing to pay a little over 4 billion dollars. for the entirety of her remaining stock.

"This is not something I can decide for myself," Luan said, "Get in touch with me again tomorrow, and we can talk about it."

"You better think about it. This is the best offer you are going to get in your life." Wagner let out a cold laugh, bellowing without any care, as if Luan didn't accept it, he was going to lose, and not his family.

Luan did not respond to Wagner's provocation, because in his mind he was laughing a lot. This was something that did not end up happening in his past life, as those Petrobras shares were handed over to the kidnappers who had kidnapped him.

Now, he had the knife and the cheese, he just needed to talk to his mother and cut a piece of that fat cheese that was waiting for them.

Luan more than anyone knew that Petrobras' shares would lose value very quickly. Currently worth 380 billion dollars, Petrobras shares in a few months would only be worth 100 billion and continue to fall. This would be especially true after the Third Awakening, where different sources of energy were common.

Without waiting for Wagner's reaction, Luan got into his car and drove off.

Wagner Hamibo stood for a few seconds on the shoulder of the freeway and then chuckled coldly and a sinister smile formed on his lips. He had played Luan like a fool and knew that in the face of so much money, Luan would most likely not be able to control his greed and would convince his mother to sell her 1% of Petrobras shares.

Arriving home, Luan left the car in the garage and walked to the door. Opening it, he entered.

Luan went up the stairs and reached the second floor, but before going to his room, he heard his mother's voice.

"Luan, are you there?" Maira walked over to him and said, "Follow me to the office."

"Okay." Luan nodded and followed her.

Inside the office, there were two bookshelves on each side of the room and a large table. Maira sat on the chair behind the table and signaled Luan to sit in front of her.

"Luan, do you know why I called you here?" Maira looked sternly at Luan as she asked him this question.

"Yes, it's because of Leon," Luan replied. He had returned the cameras back to normal inside the hospital and the moment the janitor saw the body, the police were called.

Maira nodded and smiled coldly, and said with disdain, "Mm, the police called me and said that Leon was arrested for manslaughter. It seems that it will be difficult for him to be able to clear his name since on security cameras, they saw the man who was killed enter Leon's room until the cameras stopped working, and the man's body was found inside the janitor's closet."

Luan said with a cold laugh, "Hehe... He deserves this, and even worse. The guy who died was not some small fish. There are many prisoners in prison who treated him like a brother... Now that Leon is going to jail on suspicion of killing him... Well, if he doesn't protect himself properly and sleep with one eye closed and the other open, he can only expect a tragic end."

"Then Leon, the retard, called for help, saying he was innocent and as he was the father of my children, I had an obligation to help him and prove his innocence..." Maira felt like spitting on the floor in disgust.

"Mom, I believe you already guessed everything. Yes, that man was killed by me and I planted the prints and caused the cameras to stop working," Luan said. A little anger appeared on his face, but he soon returned to his indifferent expression. "The man I killed was the thug behind the men who tried to kidnap Catharina, and he went to the hospital to talk to Leon and planned to kidnap her again."

"Then it's settled," Maira sighed. It wasn't a very pleasant feeling, knowing that her son has killed someone, however, knowing that he did it to protect his sister, Maira stopped thinking about it and said, "Okay, you can go to your room. Tomorrow you need to wake up early to attend the press conference and start working as CEO of Dimas Corporation's headquarters."

"Yes, but before that, look at this." Luan took the folded paper out of his pocket and handed it to Maira.

Maira unfolded the paper and began to read. She paused after reading and asked, "Tell me, what are your thoughts on this proposal?"

"I believe, Mother, that you should sell," Luan answered simply.

"Is this also due to the apocalypse?" Maira asked, tapping her fingers on the wooden table rhythmically.

"Not exactly. Even without the apocalypse, I would still advise you to sell those shares, Mom," Luan replied.

"Oh? That's what you're thinking?" Maira intertwined her fingers and looked at Luan with interest.

Luan looked into his mother's eyes and replied, "Mother, in about two months, Saudi Arabia will substantially increase its oil production and will start offering discounts of up to 20% on crude oil prices in certain markets..."

"My God!" Maira was stunned. She did not doubt her son's words. "If this happens, it will indeed be a huge loss for Petrobras..."

"Yes, Mom. The sooner you sell, the better. I was going to talk to you about it at another time... But even I didn't think the Hamibo family would come to me, wanting to make me convince you to sell your shares... It's just laughable." Luan laughed at the Hamibo family's foolishness.

Of course, he knew there was no way for the Hamibo family to know that Saudi Arabia would make such a move. If they knew, they would not have been so desperate, willing to pay an even higher value than the market value for 1% of Petrobras' shares.

Maira chuckled too. She didn't ask how her son had received this information. She actually thought that with her son's current powers, it was even possible that he had some unknown way to find out, but she didn't ask because there were some things that should never be asked. Also, if it were really necessary, Luan would have spoken to her.

"Mom, I'm going to my room now," Luan got up and said with a gentle smile, "You also need to sleep early and not stay up late working. From now on, you can count on me for everything you need. After all, I am your son and I will do my best to help."

"Okay, son, I'll take your advice. I look forward to seeing what surprises you will be able to bring me from now on." Maira was deeply moved. She took a deep breath as she got up and approached Luan. She then hugged her son before leaving the office.

As soon as she left, tears streamed from her eyes. Maira did not want to cry in front of her son, so she left before him.
