Chapter 125: The Architect.(2/2)

Lukas, after hearing the butler really behaved and entered the mansion, was now not that eager to meet this billionaire who was throwing cars at him, he wanted to go home and relax his mind, but he had to meet this man.

As Lukas walked, he marveled at how good-looking this mansion was. Sunlight filled the living room through tall, arched windows, casting a warm glow on the polished wood floors and soft, patterned rug. Plush sofas and armchairs in muted cream and deep burgundy formed a cozy seating area around a low marble table set with delicate china teacups. A maid stood quietly to one side, ready to attend to any need. Behind the table, a man sat upright in a high-back chair, sipping tea from a dainty cup. His silver hair was neatly combed, and his tailored suit looked elegant and refined, giving him an air of calm politeness as he waited for Lukas.

"I see you brought him, Ronald. Thank you!" The man said in a very soft tone, but Lukas could hear him from far away. Lukas saw Ronald giving a bow before taking his leave.

"Lukas, come let me see you clearly. My eyes are getting old and can’t see anything beyond five feet."

The man in the chair said, then waved his hand to dismiss the maid. Lukas, nodding his head, went ahead and stood in front of the old man.

"I see, you are as handsome as they say, so you must be wondering why I disturbed you out of nowhere?" Sit down, give me ten minutes, and then you can go.

The old man said kindly, even smiled at Lukas, took a sip from his cup, and pulled out a key from his desk drawer.

"This is the key to that car I gave you. I hope you don’t give it away. My name is Leopold Von Creden, also known as The Architect."

The old man introduced himself with a smile and waited for Lukas to introduce himself.

"I see. You designed the mansion very well, actually. My name is Lukas Martin, a baseball player and a student at Princeton."

Lukas stated he first complimented the man because he really did design the mansion very well and then introduced himself.

"Eh! Oh! Ahaha, I am not called Architect because I design buildings, I am called Architect because I design guns. You’ll see in the future, so I don’t really like you and sometimes have the urge to even kill you, but I can’t. I can kill anyone in the world but you.

Leopold said with a smile on his face, as if killing was just a normal thing for him. He was not even concerned that Lukas would get offended, he was just talking his mind.

Guess with money you just forget how to talk normally.

"Why can’t you kill me?"

Lukas asked with a smile. He was not sure why this dangerous guy couldn’t kill him, but there must be some reason behind it.

"Well, first and foremost, I only have one granddaughter, and she really likes you, second of all, the president also needs you next year, so yeah, for both reasons, I can’t kill you."

Leopold said it like it was nothing, and Lukas, who was just seated across from the old man, sweated hard. He was not sure what this man who could talk about the president so casually could do to him, but his eyes were opening bit by bit.

"Let’s talk about the second reason first. Why does the president need me?" I am not that good with politics.

Lukas said he was now actually afraid, although he was rich now, he understood one thing: being seated with a powerful man still makes you vulnerable.

"The USA’s oil reserves are reducing, and we need oil. The president has a plan in mind, and we both are going to help with it. You’ll be the face, and I’ll sponsor the gun. That’s the maximum amount of information I can give you right now, it’s classified."

Leopold said he was still drinking the tea, but Lukas was sweating hard because he was not a normal person. He knew what was happening in the next two years, and it was one of the worst decisions ever by the US, but this gun company might be profiting a lot by that incident.

"Let’s talk about the first topic, as you are sweating very much just thinking about it."

Leopold said, then gestured to the maid to pour another cup of tea for him. After she left, he smiled and said.

"This Monday, my granddaughter is turning eighteen. You are invited. You have to come in and surprise her and let her know how great her grandfather is. That car is the payment for it, so make sure you drive that car up here to this mansion and give your regards."

Lukas nodded his head and wiped his forehead with a tissue, this issue was nothing compared to what the old man was spouting about the president’s issue.

"Alright, I am done talking with you. Be here in two days, give her a surprise, and make her happy."

Leopold said in a commanding tone and then waved his hand at Lukas to dismiss him as well. Lukas stood up and saw Ronald the butler come in to escort him out. Lukas followed him and came outside. Lukas didn’t talk, but some of his theories from his last life turned out to be true.

Lukas didn’t even notice when he reached the dealership, and when Jay opened the Mercedes door for him, Lukas was about to enter the car, but at the last moment he snapped out of it.

"Jay, go back to the dorm. I will be driving this baby and calming myself down."

Lukas said with a smile that he wanted to drive this McLaren F1.

"I understand. Should I give you one of my guns?" That could come in handy.

Jay asked, he was carrying two handguns now and wanted nothing more than to keep Lukas safe.
