Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Buying A Company

"A favor?" Irina repeated, Ethan could already imagine the grin on her face as she spoke, "according to our agreement, a favor will cost you Ethan."

"I’ll offer a year’s use of a custom version of Sentinel for free," Ethan offered, "with its attack use, not just for defense."

There was silence on the other end for a while and Ethan heard her let out chyort, which meant damn it.

Or devil, which suit Ethan pretty well in Irina’s current mind. He knew that she’d use that ’favor’ as a way to get closer to him so he offered a deal hard to overlook.

Of course she knew Sentinel’s capabilities, especially since it had easily defended against one of the best hacking groups known in the Underworld....

The Vigilants.

She also knew the capabilities of its attack mode since that was the reason they were in this contract in the first place.

So a custom one would definitely be a lot better than the one they currently had.

"What advantages does this custom one have over the normal Sentinel?" Irina asked, just to be sure.

Ethan had a wide grin as he internally let out, bingo before answering with a single sentence, "large scale attacks on any network system in the world without triggering and alarms or leaving any prints."

He hadn’t actually upgraded Sentinel that much, but with his current knowledge and proficiency, it’d be pretty easy.

Irina’s breath caught in her throat as she heard his offer, he really was insane.

Ethan sat down on the study table, waiting for her response, he knew that there was no way she would reject.

"Tempting," Irina said after a while, "but I’m not interested."

It took a while for the words to actually register in Ethan’s minds. Of all the responses he expected, not once had he thought she’d reject.

"Is that so?" He calmly said, "then what would you like in return for this favor, Ms Romanova?"

"Irina," She corrected, "as for what I want, how about a favor in return? One that I can collect when I’m ready."

He thought about it for a while, he could get the Vigilants to do another one of his plans related to the company, but they were still supposed to be dead plus with Nathaniel’s recent death, he couldn’t risk getting them revealed now as they would be immediate suspects.

The second option was to just blackmail an underworld agent that lived here in Boston using the same carrot and stick method he had on that thief, but that could spiral out of control since there was no loyalty involved, only fear and greed.

So Irina was the fastest option so he let out a sigh and responded, "as long as whatever favor you ask for doesn’t cross any lines."

"Great," Irina’s voice turned a bit cheerful, "what favor do you need?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"I want to buy a company that belongs to one of yours," Ethan’s tone was completely serious.

"Which one?" She didn’t even bother asking why as she simply responded.

"Solterra Development Group," there was a short pause on the other end but Ethan patiently waited for her response and it quickly came.

"When do you want it?" Irina asked, completely unshaken by the fact that Ethan wanted one of her money makers.

"Tomorrow," he simply replied.

"I’ll send the address." Irina completed, "oh and Ethan, expect the favor to be equivalent."

Before he could reply, the line went dead, leaving him staring at the screen for a short while before he chuckled and put the phone down.

Why would he be buying the company that was harassing María?

Well, because he was just that petty and he was going to make them regret as much as possible.

This was just the first step.

"Athena, start gathering information on everyone involved in their pressure tactics," he simply said.

{On it,} she responded as she immediately went to work on the task given, taking only a few minutes.

"Alright then, let’s take a shower," he said as he moved towards the bathroom.

This apartment really was smaller than he remembered.

The next day quickly arrived and Ethan was awoken by the sound of knocking on his door.

Getting up, not looking the least bit like someone who had just woken up from sleep, he walked towards the door and opened it.
