Chapter 154: Ichigo’s Shock.
Lukas and Yaho left the venue the same way they had arrived earlier. The driver, waiting patiently by the car, opened the door for them, and the two quietly stepped inside. The atmosphere was calm, the thrill of the race behind them now. The city lights of Tokyo passed by outside the window as the car made its way back toward the hotel.
It was already night when they returned. The sky had darkened completely, and the streets were lit with soft neon and passing headlights. Lukas stepped out of the car first, followed by Yaho, and together they entered the grand lobby of the hotel.
When they reached the suite floor, Lukas opened the door to his room and stepped inside. As usual, Yaho paused near the entrance, ready to leave. But this time, Lukas raised his hand and gestured for her to wait.
Without saying a word, he walked deeper into the suite and entered his bed chamber. Once inside, he pulled up the system interface in front of him. With a few simple motions, he initiated the process to cash out the full reward amount. Moments later, the entire 28,000,000 dollars was on to his bed.
The room remained quiet, the sound of the city muffled by the thick hotel walls. Lukas glanced down at the screen with a faint smile, then turned back toward the door, his next move already forming in his mind.
He grabbed 100,000 dollars and went back to the living room where Yaho was still waiting. As soon as she saw the thick stack of cash in Lukas’s hand, she stood up in surprise, her eyes wide.
"This is yours," Lukas said, handing her the full hundred thousand dollars. "Call your manager tomorrow morning and bring a contract with you. I will sign a contract with you. You will be my CEO. Do you accept?"
He looked serious, his tone calm but firm. Lukas was eager to finalize the deal, because he knew that if he signed Yaho as his CEO, the system would reward him with a fixed sixteen million dollars.
"Of course I accept, give me the money," Yaho replied quickly, her voice filled with excitement. She grabbed the thick bundle of cash from Lukas’s hand, stuffed it into her purse, and smiled from ear to ear. Her steps were light and cheerful as she turned to leave, almost dancing with joy as she walked out of the suite.
