Khalon's return journey took five days because they had to avoid numerous checkpoints. Lately, the police and the army were very strict because of Diego's case. They didn't want another hostage-taking to happen.
The country of Maharlika became a laughingstock because of that incident. Many people are speculating how Diego and his men managed to escape. Some even guessed that there was a mole in the police.
Arlan also believed that this was the case. It was impossible for Diego's group to break out of prison without the help of an insider.
Later that evening, Khalon and the one hundred soldiers secretly entered Forbes Park. With their skills and the lax security, they managed to avoid being detected. Even the residents of the subdivision didn't notice them.
"Boss!" Khalon gave Arlan a salute. The one hundred soldiers sent by Rear Admiral Fuliand also saluted.
"Your houses are still under construction and it would probably take half a year before everything is completed. You guys can temporarily make some tents here. Just don't go beyond the walls." Arlan muttered. These guys were elite soldiers and they were trained to live in harsh conditions.
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers answered in unison. Their voice was so loud that the entire subdivision should have heard them.
"Keep quiet! This is a private subdivision so there is no need for you to shout." Arlan immediately reprimanded them.
"Khalon, keep an eye on them. I'll go to the management and explain the situation to them." Arlan said as he called the management of Forbes Park.
***
The next day, Arlan claimed his daily reward first thing in the morning.
[Congratulations! You claimed Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta!]
[Congratulations! You claimed Bugatti Chiron!]
[Congratulations! You claimed Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita!]
Arlan actually claimed three supercars! He quickly headed to the garage after claiming his daily reward. He didn't even bother to fix his hair or brush his teeth. He was excited to see these supercars.
"Good morning, boss!"
"Good morning, boss!"
The maids and the soldiers greeted him respectfully. Arlan waved his hand at them as he jogged towards the garage.
Inside the spacious underground garage, Arlan saw the three supercars.
The Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta was black in color and it has yellow highlights at the center of its head. The Bugatti Chiron was all white and it was the most eye-catching of the three. As for the last one, the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, it was gray in color with some black highlights.
"I don't want to show off, but these cars are too eye-catching," Arlan muttered with a grin. He then went back upstairs and took a hot shower. He still has a meeting later with the upper management of Bakal Brothers Co. He had to look presentable in front of all those people, especially his former boss.
After taking a hot shower, Arlan chose his favorite combination, a navy blue suit over a white collar shirt and matching navy blue pants. As for his choice of shoes, he selected a pair of black Gucci leather shoes which went perfectly with his black socks.
Arlan made some efforts to fix his hair. He even asked a maid to help him do it.
"Boss, you look very handsome now!" Thelma exclaimed while looking at Arlan's reflection in the mirror. His face was not overly handsome. Arlan was on the manly side with his prominent jawline and thick sword-like eyebrows.
Looking at his face, he didn't look like a twenty-something-year-old man. Instead, he looked like a mature guy in his early thirties. There was also this intimidating aura in him that made people want to submit.
"Thank you, Thelma." Arlan grinned at her. He then grabbed the key of the Bugatti Chiron and went down the underground garage.
He already informed Khalon last night to accompany him to the building of Bakal Brothers Co., so the moment the Bugatti Chiron drove out of the garage, three armored Toyota Avalon followed him.
When they exited Forbes Park and entered the main road, many people were attracted by his car. Everyone stared at the car with envy as they speculated which rich tycoon was driving it.
While driving the car, Arlan called Eugene Tan, the CEO of Rising Dragon Group.
"Good morning, Mr. Tan. I'm on my way to the building of Bakal Brothers Co. I should be there in 10 minutes." Arlan said while looking at the time on his watch.
"Good morning, Mr. Roa. Alright. I'll get everyone to meet you at the entrance." Eugene replied in a humble tone.
Arlan disconnected the call.
Vroom!
Soon, the view became very familiar to him. This was where he always passed by when he would ride the bus to work. The memories of the past made him smile emotionally.
He could already see the building of the Bakal Brothers Co. This was his former workplace. He had suffered a lot of hardship in this place.
"Wow! What a beautiful car! What brand is that?"
"I think that is a Bugatti, but I don't know which model..."
The people standing in front of the building were shocked to see the supercar.
Arlan slowly drove towards the front of the building where Eugene and ten more people were standing. He then stepped out of the car and raised his head to stare at the building. "I'm back." He muttered.
"Good morning, Mr. Roa!" Eugene Tan was the first person to recognize him. He immediately walked towards Arlan and bowed lightly to him.
Eugene Tan was a forty-year-old man who was half-Chinese. He was slightly fat and wore a pair of spectacles.
The people behind Eugene were stunned when they saw this. They immediately walked behind him as they carefully stared at Arlan. Was this the mysterious new boss who saved the Rising Dragon Group from bankruptcy? According to the information they heard, this new boss injected more than 5 billion dollars to save the company from collapsing! He also bought a large portion of the company's shares with an estimated value of 70 billion dollars!
When Arlan swept his gaze towards them, they immediately lowered their heads. His sharp gaze and domineering presence made them nervous.
Among them, there was a middle-aged man with balding hair who secretly stared at Arlan. 'Our new boss looks very familiar. It feels like I've seen him somewhere...'
Arlan nodded at Eugene and shook hands with him while maintaining a calm look. "It's nice to see you, Mr. Tan."
Eugene smiled at him and made a 'this way' gesture. "Mr. Roa, I'll take you to the meeting room."
"Alright." Arlan nodded.
Khalon and three more tall bodyguards followed two steps behind Arlan. The remaining bodyguards walked separately to check the building.
The upper management of Bakal Brothers Co. didn't dare make a sound as they stared at the back of Khalon and the three bodyguards. They were like little kids in the presence of these people.
The employees of the company were stunned when they saw their boss humbly following a group of men. The person who attracted their attention was the man dressed in a navy blue suit. Some of the employees felt that this person was familiar, but they couldn't make heads or tails about his identity.
"Just which bigshot is that person? Even our boss is willing to greet him outside the building."
"I heard that the people from Rising Dragon Group will come today. That guy must be a big shot from the main company!"
The employees guessed the identity of Arlan. Everyone was in a state of nervousness with the arrival of this mysterious big shot. They wondered what kind of changes would happen to the company following his arrival.
