Lukas woke up the next day and went to the gym. After exercising, he wiped the sweat off his face and sat down, picking up his phone. He scrolled through his contact list until he found the name Leopold.
The old man had connections in the president's office, and Lukas knew this was the moment to use that hundred-million-dollar gift he had given to his granddaughter earlier. It was time to call in a favor.
"Let's see what that hundred million dollar gift is worth," Lukas muttered under his breath.

As he waited, he glanced at his phone notifications. There were several he had ignored over the past few days. Swiping through them, one caught his eye—it was from the system.
