Chapter 80: The plan for world domination
Delhi was colder than he imagined. It was draped in a cool, comfortable climate, with a light chill in the air that hinted at the tail end of winter. Aric had visited this place many times, and every time he visited, the only thought that used to come to his mind was pollution and not what the country was supposed to represent.
Crowded streets, people moving like ants in a hive, old buildings, dirty surroundings, and, of course, people he personally never liked for some reason. Maybe it was racism in his heart, or maybe it was the vibe, but at the end of the day, he never liked the city.
But today, it was not his headache nor his work-related to work. Eric didn’t get down from the jet, nor did his entourage. A car was waiting for him on the landing strip to take him to a new hotel where all the expenses were paid for the next 10 days. Though Aric didn’t ask for it, his entourage made sure that he would be given these amenities.
As he was traveling to the hotel, he looked outside and couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and joy. Though he had received better amenities at Echorysia, he felt like a foreigner there, more so because he hardly saw any humans around. But here, he was among the same species as himself.
As he was thinking, he reached a 5-star hotel, and once he walked through and introduced himself, a white foreigner approached him from the side.
"Hello, are you Aric More?" the man asked. Aric nodded, and then the man asked to see some ID, which Aric produced. He could already see the badge of AmEx. He knew why he was here.
"Sorry for being a bit rude since it’s a bit unconventional. We have never dealt with a client so young and that too from India. My name is Timothy Burns. I am from Wells Fargo. Can we talk somewhere in private?" Timothy asked. Aric nodded, and they were taken to Aric’s suite.
It was there Timothy handed him the documents and his account details in the bank. Since they didn’t have much info on Aric, they needed to personally verify since Aric was a minor to begin with, and it was a huge amount of money. Timothy gave Aric a full rundown of how he could operate his card and how he could also transfer money.
Aric was happy with all the facilities being provided. Being spoiled using mobile to pay in his previous life and also in Echorysia, it was a huge downgrade, but then it was better than carrying coins to pay in the other world.
It took an hour to sign and understand how he would be able to access the things now that he was entitled to.
"Now that the formalities are over, here is my number. You can call me if you face any problems, be it financial or other things. We provide all the services at the right price, both national and international. I have noticed that you don’t have a passport, so I would recommend you to get one, and if you trust us, you can ask for our services for getting you a passport and also for your family," Timothy said at the end.
"Thank you. I will consider it." Aric didn’t accept any service from them at the moment. Timothy, with his bright and cheerful smile, left the suite, and Aric was finally left alone.
