Chapter 18 - Gray's House

Sato passed his house key to the bodyguard by Gray's side and told him the address. The man then swiftly left to the place to pack everything up for Sato. He was basically acting as a butler for Gray.

"Are you sure that no one will..."

"Steal your things? No one would dare to do that. And even if they do, ill make sure to reimburse you." Gray finished Sato's sentence.

"How did you..."

"Figure out what you were about to say?" He did it again. "Mmm, there will be a time when you will know how I do it."

"Alright." Sato looked at his boss questionably. There was this fog of mysteriousness that plagues Gray. No matter how far he tried to look into it, he could only see the endless rolling mists.

Gray took Sato to his car, which is the latest car model, Gale X that is available on the market. He had heard there was only 100 of this model made in the world and each of them is only purchasable through extensive means. As Gray got close to the vehicle, the driver door opens automatically. Sato approached the opposite door and it opened by itself too.

"Gale, take me back home." Gray spoke simply to the voice recognition system in the car.

"Yes master. The estimated time of travel is 20 minutes. Please wear your safety belts and buckle up." The system spoke robotically as it started up the car and moved smoothly out of the parking lot.

"The, the car. It's moving by itself?" Sato had heard that the Gale X was the first certified driverless car in the world. Seeing it with his own eyes was definitely a treat.

"Yeah, the driverless function is pretty handy." Gray replied.

Sato looked around at the interior of the car. There were small LED lights embedded in the dark velvet car ceilings. It resembled stars in the sky at night, twinkling dimly. The majority of the car was made with the finest leather in the world, which made the car give off a professional vibe. The car also had an all round stereo system that made music sound like it was coming from all directions.

"This car is amazing." Sato gasped as he sat comfortably in the ergonomic car seat.

"Well if you want one, I can get you one." Gale said in a normal tone.

"Huh?"

"You heard me. I can get you a Gale X for you to use."

"Hahaha. You must be kidding me right, Gray? Even if I did say yes to wanting one, isn't there only 100 of this car available on the market and every single one has been bought by an influential figure?"

"Well, I could always give a call to my father and he can just produce another for you." Gray spoke nonchalantly.

"Ha? Produce another Gale X? What is he? The founder of Gale Foundations?" Sato joked with Gray, to which Gray returned with a serious face. "Wait a minute. Your father is really the founder of Gale Foundations? The largest and most popular multi billion dollar car company in the world?"

"Yeah. Not that big of a deal really." Gray replied nonchalantly once again.

"But Gray isn't your surname Tobion? The founder of Gale Foundations is Michael Louis, which doesn't have your surname."

"Well it is actually due to my family wanting to remain low key in society. Michael is a surboardinate of my family and is incharge of Gale for us."

"A surboardinate?" This was the most ridiculous, yet believable thing that he had heard in his whole life. "So you are saying that everything under the Gale Foundations is actually yours?"

"Mmm, yeah basically." Gray replied to Sato's question. "There are also other companies that we own, but that will be a story for another day. Now, would you answer my question."

"Alright, go for it. " Sato accepted that his boss was definitely a rich yet lowkey man. He can learn more about him another time.

"How has your life been since highschool?" Gray asked caringly.

"I.." Sato didn't actually think his boss would ask him such a question. He did not actually know how to answer him. "I am not actually able to answer this question well as my life before 17 is rather blurry. I had gotten into an.. "

" An accident?"

"Yeah, yeah. So ever since then I felt like a part of me is missing?"

"Mmm it's normal to have these side effects. Do you at least have a little inkling of what happened in the past?"

"Well, I do get some visions in my dreams of this man in my life, but I never get to see a clear image of him."

"I can help you recover your memories, Sato." Gray looked at Sato and said resolutely.

"Haha.. I do not even know where to start, how would help me with this?"

"Well, we just need to find some trigger points that will jolt your memory and it can help you recover in no time."

"Sounds like a plan." Sato nodded to his proposal. It didn't matter if he had agreed to it as he was stuck in this position for several years.

The car drove itself to Gray's house that was located near the suburbs. This had halted their conversation.

The gate automatically opened when it scanned the recognition card in the vehicle. This was Royal Hills, a compound where only the top 0.001% percent of the country could afford a house here. The houses all have a minimum of 20 rooms where it usually acts as the main family house of the top percenters in the country. The security is tight and patrols around the compound is regular.

"Isn't this Royal Hills?" Sato felt rather out of place.

"Yes. It is where you will be living in the future." Gray said.

"I don't think I belong here."

"You are now bound by an agreement with me. Of course you belong here." Gray reassured him.

"Ok.." The car continued to move up the winding hills that had it's land divided up for the house owners. The higher you drive up, the more expensive the land was. Gray and Sato did not stop until they were at the very peak of the hill that had a wonderful view of the city. It was certain that the night view would be even more spectacular.

"This.. Whole plot of land. It is yours?" Sato looked at Gray questioningly. This whole area was worth at least 8 digits and it does not even inclue the house.

"Well, the whole compound is technically mine. So yeah this land is mine." Gray said cooly.

"THE WHOLE COMPOUND? ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Gray's jaw basically dropped to the ground. What kind of family group is Gray part of? This was simply ridiculous.
