INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything

William could count a total of 8 medals, even if he didn't know what those medals were for, he could tell they were of importance because of their beautiful structure and shininess.

The guy also had a somewhat arrogant expression on his face as he spoke while drinking the blood colored wine in a translucent glass that felt more valuable than a golden watch.

"Mr. Trust, this is Mr. Cristian and this is Mr. Jovan." Walter introduced the two men going from his right, the guy who spoke to the left.

'Hmm… He didn't give me their last names.' William thought as he smiled on the outside as he nodded towards both of the men who did the same. Then he too introduced himself to the people and his companions too.

"It's nice to meet you gentlemen. As you already know, My name is William Trust and the ones behind me is my manager, Delmar and my other associate, Adam." Delmar gave a smile in introduction as Adam just gave a brief nod and kept on look for any dangers.

"Well let me be the first to say my grievance to you for the loss of your father." Jovan moved forwards and said.

William looked at him and saw a man that was a few centimeters taller than Walter and one whose body was quite slim contrary to his companion who looked like potato. Even though his body was slim, William could tell he had some strength in them.

Then he looked down to the clothes to see that he wore his uniform and had medals on them too and they were the same number as the fat one but some of them were different but still looked important nonetheless.

He immediately digested the fact that this two were the real deal in the room. He didn't know anything about them but could already tell how each of them were to be.

William gave a brief nod and a sad smile and said to the tall man, "Thank you for your gracious words, Mr. Jovan. It's not been long but his emptiness could already be felt."

"Yes… A father's loss is quite tremendous on a son." Jovan nodded heavily, "I understand the pain that you feel, I lost my father also when I was quite young too… but worry not, you will gain more companions as time goes by and slowly the emptiness would be filled once more." He had a heavy voice that spoke of hardship.

William nodded as he could feel that the man was truly genuine with his words. Even though he wasn't in any kind of grief or something, those words of him evoked some kind of emotion out of him as he felt uplifted by them.

Maybe it was because his own living and breathing father with FOUR wives had kicked him out without much cause.

OH! And one side chick too.

Walter too said his words as Christian who was suddenly forgotten talked, "Yes, I also feel your pain… even though my father is still living and being a pain on my back… I can guess it is quite the pain."

William could only nod at his half-assed attempt at a grieving words before Walter pointed to the couch beside the fireplace and said, "Why don't we sit first before getting into the matters."

All of them walked until they came to the fireplace and sat on the comfy sofas and chairs, only leaving Adam who did not sit and kept standing at William's back as a watchful hawk.

Christian looked at Adam from his floating chair and thought, 'Hmm, so that's his guard huh… looks formidable enough.'

Jovan and Walter also had similar thought but none made any comment on that. Walter was the first one to speak this time as well, "So I was thinking off goin-"

"Walter wait for a moment," Christian interrupted him this time too, "Before we get started, why don't we get out guests some drinks."

"Oh! Yes," Walter nodded, "What do you guys want?"

"I'm good for the time being." William shook his head and Christian urged him, "Nonsense! we are about to embark on something great here, we should celebrate with some drinks."

"Ahh… Thank you very much, Mr. Christian but… As you know my father only died recently and I kind of in my grieving phase so…" William said. He could have just said that he didn't want to drink because of his age but felt that saying that would make many things quite ironic.

"Oh!" Christian frowned for a moment before putting down his drink down, "Sorry for encouraging you like that. I hope that you wouldn't mind me drinking mine right?"

"Of course, please drink yours." William shook his head as Christian smiled and the atmosphere quiet down for a moment.

This time Christian was the one that spoke, "I think it's about time we get to the real thing right."

"And I know that you have some questions for us but before that mind if we ask some first?"

William nodded as Christian asked him, "Why do you want to join our club, Mr. Trust?"

William thought for a moment before choosing his honest route, "I want connections."

"As you know, My family may have started some business quite some time ago but its only recently that we actually got some ground. I wanted to broaden and extend my business to other places as well.

But I know that, for that to happen I would need people and some help too… so I wanted to join your club for that."

Christian and the other three could heard the honesty in his words and was somewhat shocked, they didn't think that they would find him to be so honest.

Jovan looked at William and thought, 'He seems quite distant from the boy I saw in the television. He seemed confidant and arrogant on the air… but is this his true face or is he just trying to get us to trust him?'

'Whatever it may be… this kid does seem interesting.'

Christian had thoughts too but he didn't let any of it show on his face as he asked, "Anything else?"

"No"

"So you want to join the for some connections?"

"Yes… and help too."

"Yes, I get that… alright then can you tell me if you had any kind of involvement with the Violet Boeli business?" Christian asked as he stared right at his eyes, "Nothing specific."

William waited for a moment before he spoke, "Yes I do." He chose to go with the honest route again. This time too none them made any expressions and it was getting hard for William to know if he put himself in any kind of trouble or not.

"Another question… If the 'Organization' asks you to do something or kill someone without any questions… would you do it?"
