Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Subtle Luxury

The commotion outside María’s building had finally died down. Ethan stayed in his room until the last of Solterra’s higher ups left the street. He didn’t need María asking awkward questions he wasn’t ready to answer.

She was smart, extremely so and this happening just after he had offered to fix the building was reason enough for her to question if he knew anything about it.

So it was better to avoid her for now.... At least for just a short while.

Besides, tonight he had other plans.

His phone buzzed on the nightstand as the reminder Athena set popped up.

{Class of 2010 – Reunion Gathering: 7:00PM, Franklin’s Bar & Grill.}

Ethan stared at the screen for a long second before letting out a quiet chuckle. How long had it been since he’d willingly gone to something like this in his first life? Oh right—never.

He had skipped the get together since at this time, Carter Corp was just starting out, thanks to a loan from Mrs Harper and Newton academy.

Speaking of which, maybe he should pay them a visit since it had been a few months since he quit.

Anyway, since he was starting a company with basically zero experience he had no time for other stuff and that included this get together.

But now he could afford to attend it even though he wasn’t that big on going, Athena had already planned everything for him, from how he’ll dress to the car he’ll drive.

Every single detail had been taken care of, so he couldn’t not attend.

Besides, he was hoping to meet someone at the get together, so going wasn’t a choice anymore.

Ethan sighed, rolling off the bed.

"Athena, you’re really set on me attending this thing, huh?" he muttered as he loosened the top button of his shirt and made his way toward the bathroom.

{You need to maintain the balance, Ethan,} Athena replied in a calm tone, {you have to establish connections, not just with ones that’ll be useful to you in this life.}

He gave a dry chuckle, splashing cold water on his face before responding, "every thing in this world is judged by how useful they are, Athena."

"Everything is judged by the value they provide, whether it’s a person, a tool, or an idea," Ethan muttered, gripping the edge of the sink as droplets of water slid down his face. His blue eyes reflecting himself on the mirror, "and once that thing becomes useless, it is discarded."

"In my past life, I couldn’t see it, I was only useful because I was a man with ideas, a genius rarely see," he paused as a small smile appeared on his face, whether it was a trick of the light or just his imagination, Ethan could see his past self reflected on the mirror, "and when Nathaniel successfully got all my planned ideas, I was discarded of."

"I was discarded because I had become useless." He finally moved back from the mirror, "so no Athena, it’ll be hard for me to establish connections that do not benefit me in some way."

There was a moment of silence for a while before Athena spoke up again, her voice coming out softly, {then what about Lillian?}

The question made him freeze but Athena wasn’t done yet.

{According to you, she worked for you because of her future self being known as Midas,} she paused for a short while, {but with all your future knowledge, you could have gotten some even more ’useful’ in the same position right? Maybe even someone more experienced as Lillian hasn’t even graduated yet.}

Ethan genuinely thought about it for a while.

She was right, Midas was a gem in the future, but that didn’t mean there was no one he remembered from the future that was just as bright, just as effective—maybe even more so and even more experienced.
