Rise Of The White Dragon Chapter 40

" My father?" Luan frowned and an urge to laugh suddenly overtook him. It was laughable that that man had given Luan's number in an emergency and said he was his father.
In his past life Leon Becker used that same approach to talk to him. In fact, he talked to his sister after he rejected the call...
'It seems that this plot has not changed.' Luan knew that if he rejected it, they would call his sister, so he replied, "Okay, I'm going. Tell me the address."
After hanging up, Luan went to his sister's room. Seeing that she was sleeping, he turned off her cell phone. After that, he went back to his room and slept.
It was only after 3 hours that someone called him again.
"Mr. Luan, are you close? Your father is really looking forward to seeing you at this difficult time." A male voice was speaking from the other end, full of disappointment since the boy's father was shot, and even then, the son didn't even visit as he said he would.
"I'm on my way. My car's tire is flat; I've already called a mechanic." After saying that, he hung up. Luan smiled coldly and went back to sleep again.
Luan knew that although his father was not powerful, he was far from being an ordinary man. It would take more than a bullet to kill him. Besides, if he went there, he would only wind that man up, even though it would be interesting to deceive that man since that man believed that he would be able to deceive Luan and get his hands on his mother's money. But Luan was too lazy to go through so much work for nothing.
He still had to get up early the next morning and help his sister and mother. Furthermore, because his mother would be away from the Dimas Corporation for a few days, he would suggest to his mother to leave him in charge of management as temporary CEO. There were some projects he wanted to do, and it was a good time for that.
Almost an hour later they called Luan and the moment he answered, the same man's voice sounded impatient. He said in a scolding voice, "Mr. Luan, where the hell are you!? I'll pick you up if you still can't fix the tire. You are obliged to be here to help your father in such a difficult time!"
"Oh? How much is he paying you to be so emphatic? You almost even convinced me. By the way, have you ever thought about acting in a movie? If you do, I will definitely watch it. Let me know if you ever have the chance." After saying that, Luan hung up the phone.

The man on the other end of the line was seething with rage. He did not expect that he would be so insulted even though everything Luan had said was true. How did a young man see through him and not for a second did he suspect?
"Okay, I've played enough. Now I'm going to sleep," Luan murmured as he placed his cell phone on a small table beside the bed.
- The next morning -
Luan woke up and this time did not create pills since the ones he had were enough and he had also run out of medicinal herbs.
After eating breakfast with the four girls, he went to the gym room. As he had said before, the training equipment was useless so he started to remove it and put it in front of his house with a donation sign.
Cristina and Ingrid helped him move all the equipment. Maira and Catharina, on the other hand, were not strong enough since they had only started training yesterday, however, smaller things they were able to carry.
After all this was done, the room became more spacious. The echo of their voices could be heard, the place was so big and empty.
"Mom, I have something I want to talk to you about." Luan looked at her seriously as he spoke.
"Is it about your father?" Maira bit her lower lip, afraid that it had something to do with him since she also got the call from the hospital but had told them they were calling the wrong number.
"No, I don't want to speak about that man." Luan said nonchalantly, "Mom, do you think I don't know that this is one more of his tricks to try to succeed in approaching us? He's a fool if he thinks he's going to deceive us with that. Besides, mom, he is not an ordinary person. Although not as strong as me and Ingrid, he is at least as strong as Cristina. Even if he was shot, it would only pierce his skin a little at most."
"But it doesn't make sense. When I pointed a gun at him, he was clearly scared," Maira said, uncertainly.
"Good going, mom!" Catharina raised her thumb up. Thinking that her mother had done right sending that man away with a gun pointed at him.
"Isn't that logical? You can't compare your weapon to someone else's. And I bet it was a .22 caliber pistol. That kind of weapon wouldn't even easily kill an ordinary man, let alone that man," Luan said nonchalantly.

"That's right. I heard that he was shot in a slum. Very likely it was just a rusty weapon that those marginals got in a clandestine way," Maira nodded.
"Luan, did you come into my room and turn off my cell phone?" Catharina overheard her mother's and brother's conversation, prompting her to ask suspiciously.
"Yes, I knew if I didn't do that, they would call you. Since I didn't want to disturb your sleep, I turned off your cell phone," Luan replied.
"You were afraid that I would go there, right?" Catharina crossed her arms around her chest and said, dissatisfied, "Let me say, even if he begged on his knees, I will never forgive all that he did. I don't even consider that man to be my father. For me, he is no different than a beggar one sees on the street." She then emphasized, "No, in fact, even a beggar is better than that man!"
"Okay, okay. It was my mistake; you don't have to be so defensive." Luan smiled wryly. He knew that his sister's arrogant way of speaking was a defense mechanism that she often used to protect herself.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about that man. I never considered him as my father and I never will. Even my and Catharina's both certificates don't have his name on them," Luan said. When he and his sister were born, only the name of Maira Dimas was registered in their affiliation. At that time Leon Becker had not known that Maira was heir to a multi-billion dollar Corporation.
"I'm glad you understand that." Maira snorted playfully, and then said coldly, "Who does he think he is? I raised you two alone with a lot of love and affection, and this man now tries to get closer and wants you to believe that it is not out of interest in my fortune? Heh... He is very foolish if he thinks he is going to be able to fool someone with such low tricks."
Cristina did not expect Luan and Catharina to have such a miserable father... Of course, it was not like her father was any better since he had wanted to use her as a sacrifice. Ingrid already sympathized with this story, since the same had happened to her, and her father ran away when her mother had two children to support. Of course, her mother was not the heir to a wealthy family, so her father went to buy cigarettes and never came back.
"So Son, what did you want to speak about before if it wasn't that?" Maira asked, curious.
"Mom, can I take over as CEO of the company for as long as you are going to stay home training?" Luan went straight to the subject.
"Mmm... I don't see a problem, but do you know how to run a company? You know that it is not easy, since if you become CEO of Dimas Corp, you will have to deal with many other companies that are below the corporation," Maira warned him seriously.
"Yes, I understand," Luan said seriously, "I have studied a lot about matters related to the company, and also about the management of the company. Just give me a chance; I promise to show results in 1 week."
This was child's play for Luan. Before going back in time, he had built an empire and was proclaimed as an emperor with more than 50 million people underneath him.
"Okay, I'll give you this chance. If there is no result in a week... Forget the result- If at least there is no loss, I will be happy and leave the companies in your care. I just want you to take this very seriously since Dimas Corporation will be yours and your sister's in the future," Maira said.
"Mom, rest assured, I'm going to take this very seriously," Luan said resolutely.
"Okay, I'll go with you to the company's headquarters and announce you as CEO." Maira saw that her son was serious about this, and resolved to give him a chance to prove his worth. She also looked at Ingrid and said, "Ingrid, why don't you go along and help Luan as your secretary?"
Ingrid was a little surprised, but then broke out of her stupor and replied, "Yes, I promise to do my best!"
"Hehe, I liked your enthusiasm," Catharina put her hand on Ingrid's shoulder and said with a smile.
