Chapter 99: Chapter 98: Prodigal Son

Translator: 549690339

Finn Lewis glanced at Truman Dale and then asked, “Is this car rented?”

“Yes.” Finn Lewis’s tone made Fishy Wells and Julia Parker feel a little uneasy, weren’t they satisfied yet? They had already chosen the best car to rent.

“First, take me back to the hotel. Once at the hotel, you and Mr. Dale go out and buy a ‘Phantom’ to use for my few days in Graham Kingdom,” Finn Lewis said casually.

As he was preparing to step down to the driver’s seat, Truman Dale stumbled. He almost fell flat on the ground. He knew about the this man’s background, it was his first time in Graham Kingdom, but… You’re only in Graham Kingdom for a few days, and you’re specifically going to buy a ‘Phantom’? Although the term ‘prodigal’ doesn’t seem to exist in Graham Kingdom’s vocabulary, similar phrases do. Clearly… Finn Lewis had made a deep impression on Truman Dale.

Finn Lewis ignored Truman Dale’s reaction, but a thin smile curled on his lips.

To achieve some goals, one must first demonstrate their strength. Anyway, Finn Lewis was making money too easily now, it would be better to spend it quickly.

“Okay.” Fishy Wells and Julia Parker exchanged glances before speaking with somewhat bitter expressions. Truthfully, the two women could not keep up with Finn Lewis’s pace. If he was a prodigal back home, they could understand it; After all, the car could still be driven, right? Even if they had once smashed a car worth more than forty million yuan, but the money was paid by someone else. Although it was prodigal, it was not Finn Lewis’s own money, so they didn’t feel bad about it.

But now, just a few days in Graham Kingdom, and he’s going to buy a

‘Phantom’ worth tens of millions? If this wasn’t prodigal, then what was it?

After getting in the car, Truman Dale acted as the driver. Finn Lewis did not know how much salary Fishy Wells and Julia Parker had offered to make him willing to do this job. He did not ask about this, but directly said, “Mr. Dale, I want to meet the person in charge of Volkswagen as quickly as possible. How soon can you make it happen?”

“Mr. Lewis, I can arrange it as soon as possible. However, even though I don’t know why you would want to buy a car manufacturing plant, Volkswagen doesn’t lack funds at the moment, and doesn’t have failed assets either. Therefore, I believe that buying from them may be difficult,” said Truman Dale after choosing his words carefully.

Finn Lewis didnt mind Truman Dale rejecting his opinion. In fact, Finn Lewis had just asked Fishy Wells and others to buy a ‘Phantom’ in front of Truman Dale to confirm his strength and to prove his ability to Truman Dale, as he had noticed some interesting things about this middle-aged man.

“Hmm, I see.” Finn Lewis just replied and then fell silent, closing his eyes to rest. Truman Dale wasn’t sure what to say next, holding back what he had originally wanted to say.

When they arrived at the hotel, Fishy Wells and Julia Parker had arranged the best presidential suite for Finn Lewis. It seemed that the two women had also caught on to some of Finn Lewis’s style. After entering the hotel room, Truman Dale excused himself. However, instead of going home, he stayed in a hotel room downstairs in case Finn Lewis would summon him at any time.

“What’s his background?” asked Finn Lewis directly once Truman Dale had left. “He’s the chief lawyer of RAUPACH&WOLLERT, the largest law firm in Graham Kingdom. He has a PhD in Law and a PhD in Foreign

Languages from Bean City University in Graham Kingdom. He is proficient in German, Flame Nationese, Federation Language, and Spanish. He’s a very famous lawyer across the whole of Graham Kingdom.” Fishy Wells quickly recounted this man’s details, and Finn Lewis immediately laughed.

Finn Lewis couldn’t help but feel a bit proud. When he had gotten off the plane, he noticed the Breguet watch on Truman Dale’s wrist, the same brand he was wearing. Although Breguet is cheaper in the Southern Federation than in his own country, luxury items are considered luxury items worldwide. Only people with a high income can afford Breguet. He doubted even someone with an annual salary of a million Federal coins could really afford it. But Truman Dale’s clothing was very plain. Anyone who could afford to wear Breguet watches could definitely afford nice clothes.

That could only mean one thing: he was being low-key to avoid overshadowing his employer. Anyone with such a vision would naturally not be small-minded, and in a field like law where high income implied that this person knew a lot of people! This was why Finn Lewis decided to show his financial strength in front of him.

Finn Lewis would never have had such observational power before. This observational power emerged unexpectedly: bluntly, it was a side effect brought about by the increase in Finn Lewis’s intelligence. Just before coming to Graham Kingdom, the previous night, Finn Lewis couldn’t sleep so he spent nearly a thousand points to increase his intelligence to 20, and his strength and agility each to 21, surpassing the standards set by Zero for ordinary people.

After his intelligence rose to 20, Finn Lewis found that the term ‘intelligence’ could only be described as general. The benefits it brought were enhancements to his memory, observation, analytical ability, strong learning ability, and acceptance among other things. This feeling was intoxicating. Finn Lewis even felt it was more intoxicating than his current physically strong body that could beat a bull to death.

This feeling of control, that everything was under your analysis, was absolutely attractive. No wonder so many people were obsessed with power. The higher the position, the stronger the sense of control. This sense of control was addictive to everyone. Only those who have experienced it can understand its charm.

Even on a whim last night, Finn Lewis had picked up a Federation Language and German dictionary, and had found some German textbooks online to learn. Just one night, and although Finn Lewis didn’t dare to say he was fluent in German, he certainly had no problem with basic German conversations. On the plane, he listened to the locals from Achievement Country, pondering in his heart. He was sure that if he started a conversation with someone from

Achievement Country, he would definitely be praised for his good German.

After his guess was confirmed from Fishy Wells and the others, Finn Lewis’s mood instantly brightened. And there was no doubt that by showing Truman Dale his financial strength, Finn Lewis believed he could definitely contact these people. There was also another point: Finn Lewis liked Truman Dale as a person. Of course, don’t get the wrong idea. Even if Finn Lewis became gay, he wouldn’t be interested in a middle-aged man..
