Chapter 140: Welcome Gift!
Aslaug reached into her desk drawer and produced two small, sleek data-chips, one a lustrous purple, the other a gleaming silver.
She slid them across the desk to him.
"A small welcome gift," she said casually. "To make your time at the Academy more... efficient."
Daniel picked them up, his Nexus Interface instantly identifying them. His eyes widened slightly.
One was the ownership key to a top-of-the-line, limited edition, Damigod model origin-power sports car, a vehicle whispered to be as fast as a fighter jet and costing several hundred million Federation credits.
The other... was the deed to a luxurious, multi-level private villa in the most exclusive residential sector of Rivernorth, a property valued at nearly a billion credits.
This wasn’t just a welcome gift. This was an extravagant, almost obscene display of wealth and favor.
The Command School, it seemed, was very, very serious about making him feel at home.
Daniel stared at the two data-chips in his hand, the keys to a fortune that would have been unimaginable to him just weeks ago.
A luxury sports car worth more than a small moon base, and a private villa likely grander and larger than the entire Vanguard Academy’s preliminary training facility.
He had known the higher levels of the Verge, and by extension Astralis Academy, operated on a different scale of wealth and power, but this was simply ludicrous.
