Chapter 77: Isadora Vasconcellos
Leaving the Motel and arriving in the garage, Luan turned off the car alarm and opened the door for Ingrid.
Opening the driver’s door and sitting down, Luan fastened his belt. Leaving the Motel, Luan drove to the highway.
Driving at 100 km/h, it didn’t take long for them to arrive at the street of his house. Arriving home, Luan got out of the car and opened the door, and held out his hand to Ingrid.
“Thanks.” Ingrid was particularly happy that night. Not only did she confirm their relationship, but she had received an alliance created by Luan as a symbol of their relationship.
Leaving the garage, Luan walked to the front door of the house. Unlocking the key and disabling the security alarm, he opened the door.
Upon entering the house, everything was in complete silence. It wasn’t too late at night, but it wasn’t too early. Glancing at her watch, Ingrid saw that it was 12:23 pm.
“Let’s go to the kitchen. Mom must have left us something to eat.” Luan went towards the kitchen and Ingrid followed his side.
*Ring…*
Luan took his cell phone and answered, “Hello, Elias?”
“Yes, it’s me,” Elias said, “Luan, I thought a lot and decided to accept your proposal.”
After Luan proposed to him to train a group of people with special powers and to be their leader at Luan’s command, Elias was very uncertain whether to accept such an offer or not. But after talking to his mother and father, it was left to him to decide whether to accept it. Furthermore, Elias’ father said that if he wanted to do that, he would support him.
Elias was very surprised by his father’s reaction, as he expected it to be counted, but not only was he not against it, but he also encouraged it. This was very strange, but it also made Elias more comfortable with accepting Luan’s proposal.
“I understand; it’s good to hear that,” Luan said, “You can come to Dimas Corporation Headquarters tomorrow, and we can talk more about it in my office.”
Luan already had some people in mind to recruit, all of them are not the most outstanding in power but in loyalty. Luan prefered loyal people over someone strong who could betray him at any time.
“I will do this,” Elias said, “I’m going to hang up now. Until tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.” Turning off his cell phone, Luan saw that Ingrid had already heated up the food left for them.
“Thanks.” Luan thanked her for heating the food.
“You’re welcome,” Ingrid said with a jolly laugh.

Sitting cross-legged in the gym, Luan sighed as he murmured, “I still can’t feel my Origin… What exactly is it?”
In his former life he had the Origin of the Spiritual Tree. Thanks to this, he had a very vast capacity for spiritual power. Perhaps it was also because of this that his mother connected to an Origin that was related to spiritual energy.
Ingrid was still meditating while Luan got up and left. After taking a shower, Luan stayed in his room, sitting on the bed while drying his hair.
‘Thinking about it now, I should create something similar that can protect my mother and sisters.’ Leaving the towel on the bed, he walked over and dodged the table in the middle of the room, and reached the brown wardrobe. Open at the bottom were all the items of value that he has obtained so far.
Picking up a black suitcase, he brought it to the table in the middle of the room and went back to get another black suitcase and put it next to the first suitcase.
Opening it, it had many things inside like animal teeth, animal skin, rare herbs, fire crystal, energy crystal, Metal Type 3, fruit seed powder, and fruit powder.
‘For Cristina and Catharina, I will make rings; for mother, I will make a pair of earrings.’ After determining what to do, he began to cut the Type 3 Metal stone into four pieces and cut a few small pieces of the fire energy crystal.
Luan knew he couldn’t be sloppy and do something ugly. If not, even if it was protective, his mother and sisters might not be so comfortable using it, and he would only lose 1 hour of time to adjust some more of the details.
The pair of earrings had the appearance of a very bright and beautiful red drop of water, with the green Type 3 metal frame, and two smaller red crystals at the top.
The two rings that he created had the same appearance, and he etched into both rings a formation that allowed it to adjust its size to fit the wearer’s finger. It was mystical green, with a red heart-shaped stone crystal of fire energy.
The function of these three accessories was the same as his and Ingrid’s rings: to create a barrier and to also create fire. Cristina’s might end up giving a more satisfactory result since she can control the fire.
A faint streak of aura suddenly flashed from Luan’s ring, and a barrier of fire formed. He then tested the other three accessories and they all worked perfectly.

– March 11, 2010 – Thursday –
Luan arrived at the Headquarters of Dimas Corporation. Now everyone was used to his presence there. In addition, in the few days he had been working as CEO, all the projects he invested in were going well. Some of the investments he made were already making a profit.
Not only that, there were also projects that the executives wanted to accept but were rejected by Luan, eventually proving that he made the right decision because some of them had already gone downhill. A major project for the construction of a shopping mall was having many problems with the land since the land had given way and a gigantic crater was formed. The amount that was being invested in the construction was higher than expected, and the project had to be postponed to raise more money. And they had no forecast for when they would return to construction. Because of this, many materials and contracted construction companies had suffered losses.
Luckily when the land gave way there was no fatality, but two men were seriously injured and another ten left with some minor injuries.
Luan was walking to the security department of the Company’s Headquarters system with the intention of improving the security system. He learned that yesterday there were some hackers who tried to break into the system, but luckily, they were unable. Not wanting to depend on luck, Luan decided to improve their security himself.
“He is so hot,” a woman commented to her friend when she saw Luan go through the finance department. She was a brunette with black hair and light brown eyes, with big curves and flesh in the right places. In the finance department, she was in the top of the rank of hot women that male employees drooled over. “If he were my friend, I would easily seduce him with my beautiful curves.”
“Stop dreaming big! He’s the CEO; a lot of sand for your truck!” A short-haired blonde said with a sigh. She has seen this scene a few times when Luan had passed through the financial sector.
“Relax, I can make two, three, or even five trips if need to~” With her hand resting on her chin, she spoke in a dreamy way and in a seductive voice.
Luan, who ended up overhearing this conversation, pretended to be deaf and only gave a warning look so as not to be talking during work hours.
“So, fierce, so capable!” Another woman murmured boldly. “If he looked at me like that in bed, oh god!”
There were many women in the finance department, and many of these women heard the murmur of the woman who had said that. Many of them had the same thought; Luan’s gaze made their bodies shudder in ecstacy. Of course, they loved their jobs, so they didn’t dare to neglect Luan’s warning look and went back to work.
“CEO Luan. Please come in, feel free.” CIO Rodrigo (Chief Information Officer) saw Luan arrive, and left his room and had gone to receive him personally.
“I want to take a look at the security system,” Luan said bluntly. “I’m going to use your computer a little.”
“Yes, yes, feel free,” CIO Rodrigo said, respectfully, “I know you must be concerned due to the hacker attack we suffered last night, but rest assured, we have already improved the security system. We also hired a new employee who just graduated in Software Engineering and Information Security at Stanford University.”
“Oh?” Luan looked at the 20-something girl who wore glasses and had her brown hair tied in a bun, wearing a suit and dress pants. She was beautiful and elegant. She didn’t have a voluptuous body, but she was charming.
“CEO Luan, I am Isadora Vasconcellos. It is an honor to meet you!” Isadora went to him and held out her hand, greeting him.
“Nice to meet you.” Luan shook her hand. Suddenly he frowned slightly, he had the slight impression of meeting her in his previous life, and after thinking for a while, he remembered…
