Christian realized that managing his income would now require more time and attention, and he also needed to handle his taxes more regularly from now on.
That was also when his sister saw his trading account and the staggering amount he had made, leaving her quite shocked by how his speed of earning money was not slowing down but actually accelerating.
Anyway, of course, it wasn't just the issue of taxes that Christian had to deal with when it came to his trading work. He was also facing the problem of the daily withdrawal limit from his trading account, which had been causing him some frustration as he couldn't access larger sums of money as quickly as he would have liked.
Because the amount of money he was making had already exceeded the daily withdrawal limit, leaving him unable to access his full earnings as quickly as he needed.
So, Christian solved this problem himself by creating more accounts across different platforms. But while he could have multiple accounts and the daily withdrawal limits varied, Christian still felt restricted by the limits.
So, while he solved the problem, Christian arrived at two conclusions through all of this.
The first was that trading wasn't a long-term solution for making an enormous amount of money.
It was fine for now, but once the amount of money he holds, grew past a certain point, it would become increasingly inefficient.
So, he realized that he needed to start some kind of company, which would help him manage his growing wealth more effectively.
Then, the second conclusion he arrived at involved his sister. With her having a lot of free time lately and growing increasingly bored, it reflected in her spending more time in his room.
He also noticed that something had changed after she stopped working. It was as if there had been an invisible barrier between them that had suddenly been removed. Before, she had always kept a little distance, but now that distance had vanished completely.
But as Christian had already gotten used to her presence, he didn't mind it as much anymore, at least for now! However, he feared it might become worse, so in the end, he asked her if she had any ideas for a business. He mentioned that he could provide her with the capital, and if she needed more than he currently had, he could gather additional funds as well.
But his sister refused, saying she had no ideas for a business at the moment.
She also mentioned that she was searching for something to occupy her time, something meaningful that could benefit both of them.
When would she find that? Christian didn't know, and he was just concerned that she might take too long to decide, leading to even more hours spent in his room as time passed.
Anyway, was that truly the reason for the shift in his sister's perception of him? Reflecting more carefully, he wasn't so sure anymore. However, recalling her comments about how quickly he might finish creating an AI, he finally responded.
"Sis, you know it can't be that fast. Like even though I'm unofficially the world's first genius, it's still a bit challenging to create an AI in just one day."
"You are the first genius in the world?"
Seeing her respond immediately with a tone filled with surprise, Christian couldn't help but chuckle. Then, with an equally puzzled tone, he asked back.
"Wait, you actually didn't know?"
Anyway, he enjoyed spending time driving aimlessly with his sister, just drifting without any particular destination. This relaxed approach helped him avoid feeling rushed, but perhaps he should really make time to get his driving license after all.
In the end, Christian didn't want to lie to his sister, but he also had no intention of revealing the truth. He decided to brush her off, steering the conversation away from any topics that might raise questions about his activities regarding this subject.
After all, aside from not wanting his sister to get involved in the illegal activities he was engaged in, he was also concerned about the dangers that accompanied such actions. He was also worried about how much she might know and how it could affect her emotionally.
Anyway, he couldn't be too careful in this kind of thing.
Annabelle, seemingly noticing her brother's discomfort with the question, decided to ask another one before Christian could respond.
"Okay, this one is all right."
"But what about the other thing? You seemingly cut your hair and bought all these clothes, yet you didn't even go out."
"Of course, aside from when you go out with me lately, whether it's just for driving or other things, or to school for your exams."
"Actually, I didn't want to interfere at first, but seeing you now, it seems your relationship with that girl isn't going smoothly or is far from alright."
While she also thought to herself.
'I was actually still waiting for you to introduce her. So, what are you going to do about betraying my expectations?'
'So, she finally can't hold back anymore?'
Hearing his sister, Christian couldn't help but think inside before finally asking back.
"Sis, when did I ever say there was a girl? That she was actually the reason?"
Hearing her brother's counterargument, Annabelle felt her mind go blank for a moment. He was right; he had never actually mentioned a girl. But what about the meaning behind all the things he was doing?
Did he really have a sudden change of heart and did all of that for no reason?
Impossible!
While Annabelle was reflecting on everything that had happened recently, Christian also felt a twinge of guilt. He had longed for something to happen with Eva, but unfortunately, he hadn't even spoken to her yet, and he lacked the time to follow through with his plans regarding her.
As for telling his sister about Eva and how it was all one-sided, that was out of the question. Not only did he feel it would hurt his pride, but he also needed to have at least some hope of something developing before he could share that information with her.
So, what can he do? Or like, tell her?
