Chapter 245 Taking You Home
Sky Peak Club is the top-tier circle in Rosewood City, and only the most powerful folks get in.
The president? That’s the top dog in Rosewood City.
Sure, the Heavenly Tiger Token or the Vermilion Bird Card can control a faction, but the president of Sky Peak Club? They can tap into all of Rosewood City’s resources.
Aaron and Raymond making James the president meant the future of Rosewood City's elite was all about James.
Whenever James wants, he can steer the whole city’s development.
"From now on, you're the most influential person in this city." After a round of celebration, on the way back to Bright Heart Hall Clinic, Olivia leaned against James with a charming smile, "Looks like I have a good eye for men."
She gazed at James with fascination, remembering their first meeting after a car accident, being wowed by his medical skills, and now feeling safe with his martial arts.
She didn’t plan to fall for James, but he was like a drug, pulling her deeper into love.
As she said a few days ago, if James wanted to marry, she’d say yes.
James felt a bit awkward under Olivia's gaze, touched his face but found nothing, then pinched Olivia's chin and smiled, "This is just Mr. Collins and the others giving me some face. I know my limits."
"It's easy to get one person to give you face, but getting everyone to do so? That’s tough." Olivia giggled, "The six top figures in Rosewood City support each other and unite against outsiders, but they each have their own pride. They can be equals, but they’ll never look up to anyone."
"Since Sky Peak Club started, there’s never been a real president, just someone who takes turns organizing activities each year. The organizer has no real power, let alone the ability to mobilize resources. If there were real powers, I wouldn’t have been so flustered this year, and we wouldn’t have been attacked by Bryan in various ways."
"So you can imagine how high-minded Aaron, Richard, and Raymond are." She had long considered James her man, so she sincerely informed him, "You becoming the president means everyone absolutely trusts you."
"Really?" James was a bit surprised, then smiled, "No way? I think Mr. Collins, Mr. Davis, and Raymond are all kind and approachable."
To James, Aaron and the others were polite, and everyone got along well.
"That's for you." Olivia giggled, poking James's head with her finger, "Try being an ordinary person and see if they’re kind and approachable? Ordinary folks can’t even get a chance to meet them."
She corrected James's naive thinking, "Do you really think the six top figures in Rosewood City are good people?"
While teasing James for his naivety, she also admired his calmness. If it were someone else, like her, becoming the president of Sky Peak Club, they’d probably be over the moon.
It’s tough to stay as calm as James.
Olivia also felt a bit of heartache, thinking that James must have faced many setbacks in The Smith Family to be so composed at such a young age.
At this moment, James nodded lightly, "Alright, if Aaron and the others were really good people, they wouldn’t have gotten to where they are today."
Olivia smiled, "So don’t underestimate the position of president, and don’t think it’s just a formality. It truly represents the recognition of the six top figures in Rosewood City."
James played with the president's badge, then looked at Olivia and smiled, "They recognize me, what about you?"
"I’ve long been yours." Olivia leaned into James's arms, "In bed or out, I won’t resist. If I say something, it’s just to say it hurts."
Soft and fragrant, with a teasing that stirred the soul.
James felt a surge of restlessness, wanting to kiss those tempting red lips, but he ultimately held back.
He could ignore Samuel with his headphones on, but he couldn't ignore Francis's curious eyes.
The car soon returned to Bright Heart Hall Clinic, and James got out with Francis and the others.
"Wait a minute!" Olivia remembered something, leaned against the car door, and smiled, "I almost forgot something."
James stopped in his tracks.
Olivia took out a bank card and handed it to James with a smile, "Tonight's battle not only decided whether Bryan would return but also determined the final ownership of his assets from back then. Raymond and the others, who had occupied Bryan's billion-dollar territory early on, now have a legal basis for it. A difference of three billion dollars, you made everyone a lot of money. There's 300 million on this card: 150 million is everyone's appreciation for you as president and your reward for tonight."
Olivia placed the bank card in James's hand, "The other $150 million is the membership fee for the next ten years."
"Membership fee?" James looked at the bank card and smiled wryly, "Should I set up a club for everyone to gather whenever they want?"
"We don't expect extravagant benefits, just that you have to treat everyone to two meals a year and give them a medical check-up once."
Olivia smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, I'll remind you."
Hearing this, James relaxed, "No problem."
"Also, the position of Sky Peak Club president is not just an empty title." Olivia took out a contract and handed it to James, her slightly tipsy face glowing with a rosy hue, "To bind the members together and to leave a way out, Mr. Collins and the others spent a lot of money early on to establish Thousand Shadows Group.
Headquartered in Stardust City, it operates in the most lucrative industries, including entertainment, cinema chains, and live streaming.
The short video platform, which is now popular nationwide with one hundred million active users, is also controlled by Thousand Shadows Group. The seven of us each hold ten percent, and thirty percent has been issued. Now that you are the president of Sky Peak Club, according to the rules, each member will give you two percent of their shares. In other words, from now on, you hold fourteen percent, making you the largest shareholder of Thousand Shadows Group, with a decisive vote."
Olivia revealed the backup plan of Sky Peak Club to James, indicating Raymond and the others' absolute recognition of him.
James was stunned to hear that Thousand Shadows Group, a top entertainment company, owns a short video platform valued at billions, making the entire group's worth staggering.
Of course, market value doesn't equate to cash in hand, but even a small percentage is impressive.
Olivia added, "You don't have to feel that this gift is too heavy. It's what you deserve, and it's what Raymond and the others sincerely want to give you. After all, they will rely on your medical skills in the future."
Olivia grabbed James's hand and signed the document, "If you don't accept it, they'll be upset."
"Alright, I'll accept this gift." James hesitated for a moment, "Thank them for me."
Just as Olivia was about to tease James about supporting her, her phone vibrated. She glanced at it, and her face turned slightly cold.
She waved goodbye to James and then got into the car to answer the call.
"I heard you were in danger tonight, Olivia. How long are you going to keep playing?" A stern woman's voice came from the other end of the line, "I'll give you one month. If you don't come back, I will come to Rosewood City to get you."
