Chapter 354 Ten Billion Dollars
On the road, Noah's phone rang again. It was Xavier.
"Hey, Xavier," Noah answered.
"Noah, I've already talked to Larry about the funds you need, and it's been approved. In a little while, ten billion dollars will be transferred to your Skyray Bank account," Xavier said respectfully.
"Okay!" Noah nodded and hung up the phone.
Not long after, Noah's phone buzzed with a message. He picked it up and read:
[Your Skyray Bank account ending in 3741 received a cross-bank transfer of $10,000,000,000.00 at 11:42 AM. Your balance is now $15,787,426,482.92.]
'That was fast,' Noah thought, glancing at the message before putting his phone away and continuing to drive.
Meanwhile, at the Skyray Bank Riverton headquarters, in the bank president's office, a man dressed in a silk suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat at his desk. He looked refined and scholarly.
The phone rang.
"President, a client's account just received a large sum of money."
"A large sum? How much?" the man asked.
"Ten billion dollars!"
The voice on the other end hesitated, "According to the Anti-Money Laundering Act, this transaction needs to be reported to the anti-money laundering system. What do you think...?"
The bank employee was unsure. Ten billion dollars transferred to a personal account raised suspicions of money laundering. But such a large sum in the bank was also tempting.
"Report it. Anyone who deposits ten billion dollars with us is a significant figure. Rest assured, their money is definitely legitimate," the president said calmly. "Also, relay this information to all our branches in Eagleland, along with the client's details. If we know their location, we can send representatives to offer financial and insurance products."
"During holidays, send gifts to theirparents and children. If the client has friends interested in working at the bank, we can arrange that too. But remember, do it properly. We don't want any offense."
"Yes, President! I'll get right on it!"
Within two minutes, the information about Noah's billion-dollar deposit was sent to all Skyray Bank branches in Eagleland. This information was strictly internal and would not be disclosed publicly.
"Ten billion dollars! If this Noah buys the products I recommend, I'll make a fortune!"
"Ten billion dollars, that's insane!"
"How do these wealthy people make their money? I can't figure it out."
Excitement buzzed through Skyray Bank branches across Eagleland. However, some employees remained calm.
"Even though the client has ten billion dollars, we don't know where they are. How can we pitch to them?"
"Exactly, Eagleland is huge. It's like playing the lottery."
At the Skyray Bank branch in Silverlight City, a woman sat at her desk. Her workspace was equipped with a computer, a cash counter, a printer, and stacks of bundled bills.
She wore a coffee-colored professional outfit that accentuated her curves, and her face was lightly made up, giving her a refined and slightly authoritative presence. This was Evelyn.
Evelyn had been in Silverlight City for a while now, having moved from Oceanbridge City. With her background in finance, she easily landed a job as a financial advisor at Skyray Bank, specializing in helping clients tailor their investment plans.
"Evelyn, how about dinner after work?" A man in a suit approached her, his eyes filled with admiration.
"No, thanks," Evelyn replied with a polite but emotionless smile. She inwardly scoffed at the idea of a mere bank employee pursuing her. He didn't even have the financial means to be worth her time. Plus, he reminded her a bit too much of Noah, which only made her dislike him more.
Back in Oceanbridge City, Evelyn's boyfriends had all been heirs to wealthy families—Joshua, Gideon, all affluent men. Ordinary people were beneath her notice.
Yet, these two men had hurt her the most. Joshua had been a pervert who passed her off to others, leaving her heartbroken and nearly suicidal. Gideon had been hospitalized after a beating, and his mother had bluntly told Evelyn to leave, crushing her hopes of joining the Winchester family.
Disillusioned with her chances of marrying into wealth in Oceanbridge City, Evelyn had moved to Silverlight City. She rested her chin on her hand, bored, as she pondered how to meet a wealthy heir.
Suddenly, a message popped up on her computer screen. She clicked it open—it was from Skyray Bank headquarters, informing her of a client with ten billion-dollar deposit. Such clients were prime targets for investment products, and successful sales would be richly rewarded.
"How boring. Eagleland is so big, how can you know where the client is unless they use an ATM?" Evelyn thought. "But nowadays, everyone uses Venmo or PayPal, hardly anyone withdraws cash."
Evelyn rolled her eyes, uninterested. "It's like playing the lottery. But anyone who deposits ten billion dollars must be an heir to a wealthy family. I wonder if I'll ever meet them."
She opened the client details. The information was basic—name, bank card number, and account branch.
"Noah?" Evelyn's eyes widened in shock. "It can't be that poor Noah from Oceanbridge City!"
She quickly shook her head. "Impossible. It's just a coincidence. That poor guy could never have ten billion dollars! And the account branch isn't in Oceanbridge City, it's in Riverton. So, it can't be him!"
"What a name to have, Noah. It's so annoying!" Evelyn frowned, then relaxed. "But as long as they're wealthy, I don't care what their name is. But Eagleland is so big, where would I find this person?"
"Evelyn! Evelyn!" A man hurried over, his face full of excitement.
"Manager!" Evelyn stood up quickly, her voice respectful.
This man was the financial manager at Skyray Bank, Evelyn's superior. If he weren't already married, Evelyn would have tried to seduce him long ago.
"You got the client information from headquarters, right?" the manager asked.
"I did, but Manager, it's not worth the effort. Eagleland is so big, where would we find them?" Evelyn replied.
"You're wrong!" The manager's excitement grew. "I just received another message, ten seconds ago. The client withdrew money from an ATM near the Serenity District toll booth!"
"What! So, this Noah is in Silverlight City?!" Evelyn's eyes lit up.
