Arlan sent Sofia back to the City Land Hotel after they discussed about the movie project.
On his way back to his new mansion in Forbes Park, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He managed to get the contact information of the three female celebrities. He never dreamed that he would one day interact with them. It was such a refreshing experience for him. "Rich people really have it easy..." Arlan muttered to himself.
When he arrived at the mansion, Arlan went to relax in a hot tub.
He will be meeting Laurence and Morgan in Singapore this Wednesday. The two old guys were there for a business trip so he decided to meet them there to save them the trouble.
***
Arlan arrived at the Singapore Changi Airport together with Khalon.
Laurence and Morgan sent a team to fetch them. They brought Arlan and Khalon to a 5-star hotel where the two old business giants were staying.
"Welcome, Mr. Roa!" Laurence and Morgan warmly greeted Arlan. Although Arlan was a few decades younger than them, they didn't look down on him. They even treated him as a friend.
"Hello, Mr. Finn, Mr. Stan..."
They exchanged pleasantries before they brought Arlan to a private section of the hotel.
"Mr. Roa, can you tell us why you are selling your shares?" Laurence has been curious about this since his last phone call with Arlan.
Morgan didn't say anything, but he also stared curiously at him.
Arlan had already prepared himself for their questions. These two had been very kind to him so he wanted to give them a warning. He first told them his excuse for selling his Starbucks shares.
"...Mr. Finn, Mr. Stan... you guys have to be careful in the next few months. You should bring your bodyguards with you at all times. If you need any help, don't hesitate to visit me in Maharlika." Arlan's words were very cryptic, but Laurence and Morgan took him seriously.
The share transfer didn't take long and he only needed to sign a few documents. Arlan received 8.36 billion dollars from them. It was 40 million dollars short of the initial value of his shares, but Arlan didn't even hesitate when he signed the agreement. After the money was transferred into his account, Laurence and Morgan incited him to lunch.
Arlan didn't decline their offer. He wanted to keep his connections with them since he might need their help in the future.
"Mr. Roa, what have you been up to lately?" Laurence asked after wiping his mouth with a napkin.
Arlan lowered his spoon and fork as he replied. "I have a big real estate project in Maharlika. I plan to build a city on an island near Catanduanes for my people. If you want, I can save two houses for you." Arlan chuckled at the end of his words.
"Oh? So you are doing real estate now? If I have time, I will take a look at this project of yours." Laurence smiled kindly.
"That sounds interesting. Then you must save a spot for me, Mr. Roa. I'd like to experience what it feels like to live on an island." Morgan was more interested in real estate than Laurence so he wanted to know more about Arlan's project.
The two old men kept asking him questions and Arlan answered them all.
After eating lunch with them, his phone suddenly vibrated. He was surprised when he saw that it was a video call request from Winter.
"Hello, Winter." Arlan smiled at her.
Winter's face was as cold as ice. "I called you because I discovered something interesting."
"Oh? What is it?" Arlan stared at her with an intrigued look.
"I found out that someone is tracking your whereabouts and when I checked who it was, I discovered that it was Leandro's people. The most interesting thing is that he is in Singapore at this moment." Winter muttered calmly.
Hearing this, Arlan's face turned serious. Last time, Leandro sent a suicide bomber to his plane. He didn't want to experience that again. "Did they manage to get my location?"
"No. I gave them a different location. They don't know that you are in Singapore." Winter replied.
"What is that guy doing here?" Arlan furrowed his eyebrows. Leandro didn't go back to Maharlika even after Diego died. This made him think that the guy was plotting something behind the scenes.
"I hacked into one of his people's phones and I discovered that they have become members of the Cassano Family, an Italian Mafia that is part of La Cosa Nostra. I suggest that you go back here before they discover you. They have a lot of people with them and it would be troublesome if Leandro discovers your whereabouts." Winter's words stunned him. He didn't know about the Cassano Family or the La Cosa Nostra, but for Winter to give him this kind of warning, those groups must be dangerous.
"Alright. I'll go back soon. Just keep me informed about their movements." Arlan muttered in a grave tone.
Winter nodded before she disconnected the call.
Arlan informed Khalon about the call and told him to remain vigilant. Leandro was like a hidden poisonous snake. Even with all the money and technology he claimed from the mysterious app, that guy was still making him feel a bit afraid.
He informed Laurence and Morgan that he had sometimes urgent to do in Maharlika and apologized to them because he couldn't bid them farewell.
The two old men didn't make things difficult for him and they only told him to stay safe.
Before Arlan went inside the plane, he asked Khalon to carefully check the plane if there was any problem. He also asked Winter to investigate the passengers. After knowing that everything was fine, he boarded the plane. He wore a hat and a pair of sunglasses. He also put on a facemask. He also asked Khalon to put on some disguise since he was very conspicuous.
