[OP: ]
{ "As everyone knows already, miss Nolen Heliox, second child of Marchiones Heliox, the head of the household, is now one of the richest individuals in not just the empire, but the entire world ranking sixth on the total assets that she holds off papers." }
She specifically mentioned off papers, so it definitely meant there was a lot more going on beyond the papers, which was a fact.
Nolan was one of the most efficient suppliers, market analysts, someone with fingers in each possible industry one could think of and, someone who operated on both the high and low standards.
She was someone who owned multiple businesses, one of her most famous assets was Hiraani, the empire's most famous auction house as well as a place that regularly holds events that attracts attention from the rich people of all over the world.
She had one of the largest networks of trade and there was a special group that worked right under her hands.
She was famous not just because of her excellent abilities and wealth, she was a fearsome woman that had already eaten away at many of the existing famous names all around the world.
There were perhaps numerous victims that had fallen to her sharp talons or had become a subordinate of hers in an attempt to at least save their families.
{ "Money is a fearsome power, and those who know how to use these powers are fearsome individuals that fight a war even more bloody than the ones fought on the battlefield with swords, magic, and weapons." }
As the presentation went on with her words, proof and images of what she was saying, images of Hiraani, images of Nolen and the data on the kind of wealth that she held was presented before all of them on the big screen.
{ "Miss Nolan is a respectable individual that has every right to be present here." }
But, the presentation was not about her.
{ "However, we will be talking about not the Golden demoness that everyone in the Global market fears, but her son... her eldest child Axion Heliox Kromet." }
The information that had been shown until now was all that the public present here either knew about or was pretty much aware of even without the specifics.
Nolan was famous even before her rise a few years ago, and even though she had just recently become one of the core individuals in the world market, her exploits of when she was still under her master, the previous Guildmaster of Faron merchant alliance, to the things that she had done during her Exile, and after that were famous all throughout the world.
She was still not going to stop anytime soon even after achieving all these in this short time period and that was a given fact.
So, it would not have been that weird if this presentation was about her... but, her son, the famous bachelor that got engaged to the representative of the Atraxia not long ago should not be the main topic of an entire presentation that was about the world impact.
{ "There might be some confusion here, I understand, however, please take a look at this first." }
Just like the detailed data that was being projected on the screen behind her, she brought up a new data file that was just as detailed as the previous one.
It also contained all kinds of proofs of ownership, all kinds of things that one couldn't just get their hands on if they wanted to, and the most important of them all was the proof of the holdings.
{ "The most famous food brand that is becoming an irreplaceable part of the entire food industry does not belong to the countess, but to her son, the young man who everyone knows about." }
She did not mention the Headmaster's direct connection with him on purpose. There was no evidence that there was a special kind of connection between him and the person she had taken such keen interest in, but even if there was, she would not mention it here.
Besides, she knew she was saving herself by not speaking about the many things that she was suspicious about.
{ "I will conclude my presentation there, and will be open to the questions." }
She did not know about his contribution in the Lakmer war, she did not know about how he had contributed greatly in bringing down the demons and the demonic followers, she did not yet know about how much she had missed even with that kind of detailed investigation.
She personally wanted to meet him if possible, make him an alley just like many of the people currently present here were thinking, and though she did not know it yet, she will soon find out there was no need for her to request an invitation to him.
"She is something, alright."
In the hidden room, Eon and Rein both were smirking as they looked at the data that she had gathered and compiled.
"She must have used all kinds of sources, bribed all kinds of people, and dug quite deep into the hidden information to find all those things."
He was not expecting something like this the entire time he was preparing for his own presentation.
This came as a surprise to him.
"Looks like you are gonna be famous now, darling."
"I would have been famous without this thing anyway."
The presentation that he was going to give here will not end without any disturbances or questions like hers did.
It was simple, the point was understood, the proofs were shown so there was no need to waste the conference's time with any questions.
They understood everything that they needed to understand from this information.
{ "Thank you for your patience." }
Both of them already knew just finishing a part of their presentation without questions or objections or confusion or shock will be impossible.
They had prepared for that, and they were ready for it.
"When is our turn then?"
Her presentation was short but a few hours had already passed since they had started.
Their turn had not come yet, so they were just waiting as they watched the next presentation begin on the many screens before them...
