《Rise of the White Dragon 》Chapter 165: I Am Your Grandfather
Advertisement
After Isadora's proposal was accepted. The public relations sector started to work on the announcement of the game. This proposal was of great interest, so a lot of attention was put into it.
Isadora Vasconcellos' monthly bonus also increased with the idea she had formed, and of course, she won a chair in the meeting room. Each project that she planned, she would have recognized merit - just as she would have her name among the creators of the tournament, the idea being hers, and the whole elaboration of the tournament as well.
*Toc... Toc...*
"Open it." As soon as Luan said that, Ingrid opened the door and went inside.
"Luan, a man who claims to be your paternal grandfather is here and wants to see you." Ingrid's expression was strange when she said that.
"Let him in," Luan replied.
Was it her impression, or did Luan seem to be enjoying himself when he heard that his paternal grandfather was wanting to see him?
"Okay." Leaving, she took the intercom and said to let Valter Becker in.
Minutes later, a man who appeared to be in his 40s, without knocking, entered the room in an elegant and authoritative manner. He looked at the place with admiration, even with a little greed, but he soon managed to disguise it.
"My grandson, I finally saw you in person." With a hypocritical smile, he said, "You don't know how long your grandfather wanted to see you. I just didn't come before because I had some problems with the clan that I had to solve, but it doesn't matter; now I'm here, I'll do everything I can to get even closer to my grandchildren and help you grow."
"..." Although he expected him to be irrational, Luan was still speechless.
"Haha! I knew you were surprised and even excited." With a smile brighter than the sun, Valter continued, "I have some projects with a large profit margin, as I am still new in Brazil. My connections here are almost 0, but I thought... 'Why not give this chance to my grandson? Wouldn't it be incredible to have a grandfather and grandson work and grow together?' Yes, I know that you are deeply moved, but rest assured, this is just the beginning. Look at this, I bet you'll be even more surprised!"

Then he pulled out a burnt yellow folder tucked beneath his arm and placed it on the table and opened it. From inside he took out a lot of papers and placed them in front of Luan.
"Look at this, grandson, look at how your grandfather thought through a lot and wants to help you. See, there are more than 10 proposals with a 300% profit margin. Isn't it fabulous?"
The wide smile never left his face. He looked at Luan as if he had already accepted the proposal. In his mind, it was impossible for Luan to refuse. After all, who didn't want to make more money? Besides, with such a large proportion of profit?
"Are you my paternal grandfather?" Luan made him look surprised.
"Of course, yes!" Valter had a stern expression when he saw that Luan doubted his identity as his grandfather.
"Oh? Isn't that really funny?" Luan asked with a touch of amusement in his voice.
"Hm? What do you mean by that? Boy, be careful what you are going to say. Even if it is the first time that we are meeting in person, I am still your grandfather. You are blood of my blood; don't say anything rash." With a bad feeling, Valter spoke with a serious expression.
"Ha, so explain it to me... In my birth record, even in all my documents, why is it blank in the paternal part?" A smile full of mockery formed at the corner of Luan's lips.
Valter blushed with anger and embarrassment. In his mind he cursed his useless son, but on the outside, he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, but still spoke aggressively. "How absurd! Even without registration, you are still the flesh of my flesh, the blood of my blood. Without me, you wouldn't exist!"
"Following your logic, without me you are not you. Since you are just you, thanks to my existence?" Luan asked coldly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am me; you have nothing to do... Wait!" Valter realized that he was deceived and calmed down. Taking a deep breath he said, "I am your eldest. This fact does not change, even if your existence does not interfere with mine. Even so, your actions and everything that is yours is also mine. But don't worry, I don't want your money for free. As I said before, look at these projects, they are all of a high caliber. In fact, if it weren't for you being my grandson, do you really think you would have this opportunity?"
If Luan were a fool, he would believe what this man was saying. Even just leafing through the projects, it was possible to see that this old man had tried to deceive him. However, his 'grandfather' would have to be disappointed; Luan was not someone he could easily deceive. But of course, he pretended to be interested.
"In truth, all of this is very sudden for me. I'm going to look and think about your proposals, okay?" Luan pretended to calm down, as if he had been shocked by surprise. He then spoke resignedly as he waited for Valter's understanding.
"Haha! Of course, I totally understand. There is no way my grandson is not affiliated. Okay, this is my contact number and email. As soon as you want to get in touch with me, we can talk about business, or even have a dinner between grandson and grandfather," Valter said with a smile full of joy.
Suddenly, Luan snapped his fingers in front of Valter. Before he knew it, he fell asleep.
"When you open your eyes, you will believe that I was happy with your proposal and I was also almost sure that I would accept it. For the next three days, you will be staying at home, waiting for the 'good' news." After Luan finished speaking, he snapped his finger again and Valter woke up.
"Neato, this is good. Grandfather is going now, see you in three days! I hope for the good news, hahaha!" Laughing, Valter got up and left Luan's office.
Picking up his cell phone, Luan dialed his mother's number.
"Luan? Do you need something, or did something happen at the company?" Maira asked.
Luan smiled a little when he heard his mother's question. "I need to take a trip to Germany. It will take 2 to 3 days. During that time, can you take my place in the company?"
"Yes of course." Despite not knowing for sure why he wanted her to take his place while he was going to Germany, Maira did not ask. She knew that when he got home he would tell her in more detail.
"Mm, all the projects and jobs that I am managing have a copy in the home office," Luan said, "I'm hanging up now; I'll tell you the rest in more detail at home."
After the call was ended. Luan leaned back in his chair and began to reflect. In his other life, Valter did not interfere in his family's business, perhaps it was because everything was lost because of him. However, this time it was different. Now that he was here, and not just his son, and was keeping an eye on his family's fortune... how can he just let it go?
Luan let out a cold laugh as he thought of the Becker family island.

Nightmare Infinity
God's Dimension was created for the purpose of evolution. It would push its chosen through countless trials, horrors and nightmares to fulfill this goal. Only through the constant threat of death will humanity be forced to evolved. The chosen are those who have given up on life. Those who have nothing to live for, and those who life has nothing to offer. With the hope of finding that meaning, they enter God's Dimension. In the beginning God used the stories of mankind to create these trials. Sending the chosen into the worlds of monsters and demons, and granting them the powers of the inhabitants of those worlds. But with man's evolution God changed these trials, sending the chosen into new and more dangerous worlds, which in turn granted them access to the powers of those worlds. The first change came when God sent the chosen into the worlds of horror and action movies: Alien, Predator, The Grudge, Nightmare on Elm Street, Starship Troopers, and many more. The second change came when God included the worlds of Anime, Manga, and Light Novels into its trials: Fate/Zero, Btoom, Highschool of the Dead, Akame ga Kill, Naruto, One Piece, Attack on Titan, Terra Formars and many more. Now God has changed the trials once again and included the worlds of Video Games into its trials. In recent years the number of video games that come out each year has skyrocketed. More worlds, greater challenges, and increased danger await the chosen of God's Dimension. No one, even the veterans of God's Dimension, knows how this will affect them. The number of powers and worlds God's Dimension allows access to has once again increased, but will they survive long enough to make use of them? *Warning* This story is a Terror Infinity fanfic and will heavily cross over with different video games, anime, and manga. I will try to use ones which have already well known stories so as to not spoil anyone. Though I might change it up here and there to keep the plot interesting. Another warning is that this story will, or at least try, to show the despair and horrors each character went through. There will be a some gore, mature content, and some pretty disturbing stuff, but nothing too much. A story is meant to entertain and a grimdark gorefest is not that pleasant to read.
