Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67: An Interesting Discovery

The drive back to the hotel took a while, mostly because Ethan was driving slowly while thinking of the options of gaining knowledge presented to him by the system.

The most viable right now was the simulation pod but just like with most things he wanted to create, he didn’t have enough knowledge or proficiency to.

So that left him with the most crude and dangerous option, manually absorbing raw knowledge through the system.

According to the system, there was a thirty percent chance for his brain to explode, which meant that there was a three in ten chance that he’d die, but there was also a seven in ten chance that he’d succeed and that was enough chances for him right now.

By the time he pulled up at the entrance of the hotel, it was already late into the night. He walked towards the elevators after handing the keys of the car back to the receptionist.

With a ding, the elevator opened to his floor and he slowly walked towards his door. Lillian and Aria’s door was next to his, so he assumed they might’ve come to check on him while he was out.

{They didn’t,} Athena answered his thoughts as she noticed him looking at their door through the cameras of the hotel, {Aria was dragging Lillian around the entire day to keep her mind off the upcoming negotiations for now.}

"I see," he nodded, opened his door and walked in.

He immediately crashed into the bed, the exhaustion hitting him like a freight train and he wished for nothing more than sleep.

But before that,

"Athena, can you fetch what Irina requested," it was more of an order than question since he was so exhausted, "oh and while you’re at it, compile every research on Neuro-Interfaces and Cognitive Enhancement, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering and Computer Science."

"I’d prefer if they’re research from trusted sources, no matter how secure, all your infiltration restrictions are released for now."

{Understood.}

With her confirmation, Ethan quickly drifted to la la land, sleep consuming him.

Meanwhile, Athena turned on the PC on his work desk, her avatar appearing on the screen, looking at the sleeping Ethan before giving a small smile and got to work.

In another part of California, someone stayed awake.

It wasn’t due to lack of sleep or anything close, Nathaniel just preferred staying up through late nights.

Standing behind him was Dmitri who had a neutral expression on his face, unlike when he was ’punishing’ James.

He, on the other hand, would’ve preferred sleeping at this hour but when you’ve got bosses like the Langleys, you had to be ready whenever they called.

Not that he minded, they were paying him more than enough to be up at this hour.

"What were you able to find?" Nathaniel went straight to the point.

"She has an interesting past, to say the least." Dmitri responded, causing a frown to appear on Nathaniel’s face, he hated when Dmitri didn’t go straight to the point but Dmitri didn’t seem to care.

Instead of pissing off his already pissed off boss, Dmitri took out a file from the inside of his coat and handed it to Nathaniel who was staring out his floor to ceiling glass window.

Briefly turning, he took the file from Dmitri and opened it, reading through it.

"She has also had major interactions with two people the past few months," Dmitri spoke as Nathaniel read through the file, "both of which I looked into and none could possibly be the owner of OmniTech."

Nathaniel looked up from the file with a frown before asking, "and who allowed you to make such a conclusion?"

"Experience," Dmitri calmly answered, "my biggest suspect was the boy who graduated from Harvard, since she stopped her part-time job a bit after they met, but turns out, apart from him being a graduate from Harvard at a young age, there was nothing else special about him."

"I see." Nathaniel nodded.

Dmitri’s guts were rarely, if ever, wrong as proven multiple times before, so Nathaniel had to go with his decision.

"Just keep an eye on them for now." He ordered and Dimitri nodded before he got back to reading the file in his hands.

The more he read, the bigger his internal grin got. This was really interesting.

OmniTech might be invisible right now, but he made a mistake of letting his pawn in Nathaniel’s territory and Nathaniel wouldn’t hold back from attacking it.

Putting the file on a coffee table, he walked towards the direction of his room as he said, "get me in touch with these, as soon as this mess is over we’re uprooting OmniTech and make sure they never dream of crossing me again."

Dmitri nodded, his eyes moving back to the file on the table. On it was a picture of the COO of OmniTech Corp, Lillian Hayes.

And whatever he had just dug up on her, was going to be a major tool to be used against her and in turn, OmniTech.

He walked out and towards the elevator, but before he could get to it, his phone suddenly rang causing him to stop.

Pulling it out and looking at the caller ID, Dmitri couldn’t help but crack a small, genuine smile. One that would shock anyone that knew him.

Picking it up, a cheerful little voice came through, "Dobroye utro, papa!" (Good morning, papa!)

Dmitri walked into the open elevator and allowed his expression to ease up and a smile graced it.

"Доброе утро, malyshka," he replied gently in Russian, his deep voice losing all of its usual coldness. "Did you sleep well?"

The little girl giggled. "Da! Babushka made blini, but I told her I want to eat with you instead."
