Chapter 84: Bradesco's Anniversary - Part 2

"It is an honor for us to have you here," Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi said as he held out his hand.

"It's our pleasure." Luan shook his hand.

"Happy to see you again, President Luiz Carlos." Maira shook his hand with a friendly smile.

"Equally." President Luiz Carlos smiled and said, looking at Ingrid, Cristina, and Catharina, "These three lovely girls, must be your daughters and daughter-in-law, yes?"

"That's right." Maira nodded. She looked at the three with a kind smile.

"Delighted to meet you, ladies," President Luiz Carlos joked, making a show of obeisance as in ancient times.

This made Ingrid, Cristina, and Catharina feel more comfortable and even laugh a little.

"Equally," the three girls said.

"Please, follow me." President Luiz Carlos led them inside.

The arrival of the Dimas family with Bradesco's CEO - Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi, drew a lot of attention.

Of course, it was not only because of President Luiz Carlos but also because the fact that the Dimas family was very famous. Another reason, too, was that they each drew the eyes toward them. It was difficult to find fault with their appearance.

It wasn't as dramatic as you see in some movies, to the point of making others pass out from their beauty, but it was captivating enough to make their hearts beat faster.

The moment Luan entered and looked at those gathered inside the hall, he noticed some people with great influence. Some he believed it was worthwhile to partner with. Others, he just wanted to invest in some projects and get other investors.

Luan was different from the past, who was an ignorant young adult. No, well, the two were at the same point on the time axis, but this time around he had a history of countless years of effort and the knowledge of his past achievements and failures.

"Sorry, the President of Havan has arrived. I'm going over there to welcome him." CEO Luiz Carlos was listening in his earpiece, and at that moment, he heard about the arrival of the President of Havan. "Enjoy the party."

"It's all right." Both Luan and Maira did not care and said goodbye.

"Isn't that Big Brother Elias?" Cristina spoke as she looked in the direction of a tall, large young man.

"Yes, it is himself." Catharina smiled and said, "Next to him is his father."

They didn't see Olivia. Most likely she was in the bathroom.

Approaching them, Luan greeted them, "Good evening, Uncle Rogerio."

The moment that Rogerio Levy Cardoso shook Luan's hand, he exerted a little force... And as much force as he used, he saw that Luan's expression didn't even change, and it was an expression as if nothing was happening; it was something that could not be forged so easily, especially when Rodrigo used all his strength and Luan still carried the same expression.

"Hahaha. Good evening, nephew." Rogerio stopped shaking Luan's hand and hugged him while slapping Luan on the back as he laughed out loud.

He was happy with Luan's willingness to share body techniques with his family. In addition, he learned that Luan had plans to make himself available to the army, but was planning to do so with the help of his grandfather.

Rogerio didn't think it was wrong for Luan to act like that, since he was CEO and needed to profit from it. After all, it must not have been easy for him to achieve something so good. If possible, he wanted to talk about the subject of the mysterious crevices, but he knew that now was not the time or the right place to have such a conversation.

"Uncle, this is my new little sister, Cristina Dimas, and this is my girlfriend, Ingrid Anjos." Luan introduced them both.

"Nice to meet you both." Rogerio smiled and greeted them with a kiss on the cheek.

He also greeted Maira with a kiss on the cheek.

Elias, who was feeling left out, greeted them too.

"Didn't Aunt Olivia come?" Catharina asked, looking at Elias.

"She is here," Elias replied, "She went to the bathroom, she'll be back soon."

"I understand," Catharina smiled.

"I'm going out for a while. You guys can stay and talk." Luan left, and Ingrid followed him.

Luan was approached by many people on his walk through the party hall. Some only greeted him, while others offered some proposals and investments. Ingrid wrote down all the proposals made and investors who decided to invest in the company. It was always good to get new investors and projects.

But Luan never talked about the game or tried to get investors for the game. He did not intend to depend on third parties to invest in the game. He intended to be the first and only owner of the game.

Everything could be done in the company itself and the investment could be done by his mother. Which was more viable, since the profit from the game would go to her.

Ingrid's lips pursed in disgust when she saw someone at that party. It was Stefan, a man who once hit on her and pretended to be just being kind. His hypocrisy and narcissism made her sick.

However, she saw that when Stefan looked in their direction, right after, he looked at the floor. It was as if he felt guilty and resentful at the same time.

Luan did not tell her, but he made things a little difficult for the Miranda family, which was Stefan Miranda's family.

Luan knew that the Miranda family was always supporting his mother, so he left differences aside and didn't make things too difficult. However, he gave a warning: If Stefan Miranda dares to do something wrong toward his family and Ingrid... things would not be so smooth.

Stefan Miranda, despite being young and immature, was not a fool. After being scolded by his father, Vidal Miranda, he understood that he was entering a minefield; one misstep and his and his family's lives could go downhill.

The initial thoughts he had of harming Ingrid had disappeared like smoke. He didn't even dare look at her for fear of them thinking he was being malicious.

While walking and talking with some people, Luan also spoke to some politicians, but he did not accept any project that they proposed to him. Most... or rather, all of them who spoke to him were offering flawed projects; in addition, it was highly probable that they were using the projects for money laundering. Luan didn't want to be part of such a thing.

Aguinaldo Cont was looking at Luan and his family from beginning to end with narrowed eyes and undisguised anger. Suddenly he received a message on his cell phone and left the place in a hurry.

Luan paid no attention to this and went back to where his family and Elias' family were located.

"Luan, something tragic has happened," Rogerio Levy Cardoso said, "The second largest investor in Dimas Corporation, Vincent Cont had an accident."

"Oh, and how did it happen?" Luan pretended to be surprised.

"No one knows for sure," Rogerio sighed, "since only the disappearance of his private jet has been reported so far. Whether it fell or exploded, it's hard to know."

"I understand." Luan said no more than that. He also didn't try to pretend to pity them.
