Getting a Technology System in Modern Day
chapter-74

"With this our agreement has been officially formalized," Aron stated as he signed his name on the second contract.

Aron seemed happy, the same could be said for Alexander, but he was having another thought in his mind as he had experienced an odd sensation, as if something had briefly embraced him when he finished signing the contract.

The sensation that Alexander felt was not unfounded. To those with the ability to perceive magic, a luminous golden aura would have been visible, enfolding and permeating Alexander the instant he concluded his final signature.

The radiant glow was a result of the runic contract, which had been established to keep a watchful eye on Alexander and alert the other party should he ever violate any of its terms.

Aron had also experienced the same illumination, but being the enforcer, he had the ability to annul the contract on his end, leaving only the one on Alexander still in effect.

"I am curious, Aron," Alexander asked as he shook his hand, "why enter into a contract that is not legally binding?"

"Well, for sentimental reasons," Aron replied, "having a contract to strive to uphold will bring us both peace of mind and enable us to establish mutual trust." He spoke without a hint of hesitation or deception, his expression unchanged which came as a surprise to Nova who was observing the entire ordeal.

Alexander appeared to concur with Aron's perspective, but in reality, he knew that if Aron failed to keep his end of the bargain, He held the power to tarnish his reputation and even expose him to the International Court for conspiring to overthrow a government by publicly disclosing the document. This thought provided him with a great deal of comfort.

"Excuse me now," Alexander announced, "I have a meeting starting soon. Even if it turns out to be pointless, I must at least feign interest until our plan is set in motion." With that, he indicated that he needed to depart.

"Certainly, not a problem. I'll reach out to you as soon as we're prepared to initiate the plan. If there is anything urgent or important, don't hesitate to contact me using my number," Aron assured him as he escorted Alexander to the elevator. They shook hands for the final time before parting ways.

Aron waited until Alexander's elevator had departed before he turned around and headed back to the bedroom to ensure he hadn't left anything behind.

Once he confirmed he had not forgotten anything, Aron summoned the elevator again and made his way out of the presidential suite. He headed towards the resort lobby to complete his check-out process at the hotel.

After finishing his check-out, Aron made his way to the airport where his private plane rental was waiting to take him back to his home state.

....

Airport.

Aron's journey was uninterrupted, and he arrived at the airport without any issues. After passing through airport security and completing necessary procedures, he was escorted to the location where the private jet was waiting for him.

Once inside the plane and after takeoff, Aron retrieved his phone and said "Call Sarah" Without bothering to check if his command was acknowledged, he put the phone to his ear and waited for a response.

Trrrrr!!!!!

As soon as Aron placed the phone to his ear, he heard the sound of the call being initiated. He patiently waited for Sarah to answer the call.

"Hello," Sarah greeted as he picked up the phone.

"It's been a while," Aron replied upon hearing Sarah's voice.

"Yeah, When will you be visiting? " Sarah pointed out.

"I'll be paying you guys a visit sometime this week," Aron promised, realizing that he had been ignoring his company.

"Ha, you better watch out. I might just sell the company if you continue to ignore it," Sarah joked.

"I trust you enough to let you handle things without my interference. Besides, many CEOs complain about being micromanaged by their board members," Aron defended his actions.

"There exists a fine line between granting autonomy and completely disregarding the existence of the company. Your conduct is fascinating enough to be the subject of an academic thesis, considering the way you neglect the fact that you are the owner of a multi-billion dollar organization." Sarah stated.

"I understand your point, but it's not a matter of me forgetting about the company. It's just that there seems to be nothing for me to contribute, even if I make an effort to assist," Aron clarified his perspective.

"You're right about that. We don't even have a product development team. You are the only one responsible for creating products," Sarah acknowledged what Aron said.

"HAHA" Aron couldn't help but laugh as he realized that his company was existing to simply manage his affairs while he focused on developing something else without the added burden of overseeing them.

Sarah joined in Aron's laughter at the absurdity of her earlier statement, especially now that it seemed to be true. "And speaking of your availability, I should tell you that we're expecting to reach 3 billion GAIA OS users by the end of the month. So, congratulations!" She congratulated Aron.

"Thanks, and congratulations to you guys too," Aron congratulated Sarah in return. He then turned his attention to the system interface to check the accumulated amount of sp.

Aron suggested, "How about giving a bonus to the workers for their hard work?"

"I already had plans to do that and inform you about it for your approval, Since you have approved it you don't need to worry about it," Sarah assured Aron.

"Sure"

"Alright, so why did you call me?" Sarah asked, cutting straight to the point after their small talk.

"I'm calling to find out when you're available this week. I need the company's law firm to assist me with something," Aron replied, without beating around the bush.

"Since we're not launching any new projects at the moment, I don't have much to do besides approving a few documents. Is your request related to a new product?" Sarah inquired, curious if Aron was finally prepared to release a new product.

"No, it's something else. Although I will be releasing a new product, it will have to wait for a little while as I'm currently focusing on something else," Aron clarified.

"Sure, no problem. What will the new product be about?" Sarah asked, curious about Aron's latest idea. She knows that Aron has a history of coming up with innovative and groundbreaking products, and she is excited to hear what he has in store this time.

"This time it won't be anything major, just a game," Aron said, not wanting to keep Sarah in suspense.

The reason for Aron's decision to release a game was to earn more sp and buy a few new knowledges from the system to help him in his plans.

While Aron knew how to game the system, he was also aware that overusing this method would diminish its impact and ultimately reduce the amount of sp he could earn.

"I'll make sure to inform you ahead of time so you can properly prepare well for its release," Aron added.

"Sure"

"Alright, I'll come over to see you sometime this week to have a discussion." Aron said, indicating that the call was coming to an end.

"I will be waiting for you then." Sarah replied back.

"See you"

"See you"

With that, Aron concluded his phone conversation with Sarah.

Following the phone call, Aron opted to sleep for the remainder of the flight since he had no tasks to attend to.

.....

7 hours later.

Aron could be seen sitting in his basement after he arrived from the airport.

Upon arriving from the airport, Aron did not immediately head to his basement as his younger brother, Henry, wanted to play games with him for a few hours. Eventually, Aron made his way to the basement where he was seen sitting.

After putting on his virtual reality headgear, he said 'login'.

Upon entering the virtual reality, Nova greeted him and said, 'Welcome back, Sir', while dressed in a stunning outfit

"Thanks, you look great," Aron complimented after taking notice of Nova's attire.

[Thank you. What are your plans for the rest of the day before your visit to the company tomorrow?] Nova inquired.

"An inspiring idea came to me during the flight. I need to start practicing a few specific runes in order to bring the idea to life," Aron shared.

[What is the Inspiration?] Nova inquired, showing her curiosity.

Although Nova had the ability to extract information from Aron's brain data, she refrained from doing so without his consent. Additionally, Aron's system would block any unauthorized access, so even if Nova attempted to extract information, she would be denied access without Aron's explicit permission each time.

"It's a surprise," Aron teased, before adding, "I'll also need you to rent a private plane for a two-month period. I'll be using it to travel extensively around the country and the world to accomplish my plan."

[Sure] despite being curious she didn't ask for further details about his plan.

Nova knew that she could make an educated guess about Aron's plan based on the type of runes he was practicing.

Following that, Aron immediately started practicing his runes for the five days(In universal simulation accelerated time) he had, before he visited the company.

Aron didn't need to worry about getting enough sleep because Nova was always in control of the virtual reality headgear. She could adjust the settings to ensure that Aron's brain entered into deep sleep or REM (Rapid Eye Movement) when necessary, allowing him to rest even while he spent time within the virtual reality world.
