Robert Green still signed it. He had no choice, as this matter was tied to his future prospects. Moreover, it was simply a matter of keeping the information confidential, there were no other limits. Also, the contract didn’t require him to keep everything secret forever, just until it was publicly disclosed. Thus, he felt no pressure while signing.
Mr. Wood naturally signed as well, and even faster than Robert Green. Otherwise, he couldn’t be at ease. After all, he wondered what kind of mess
Finn Lewis had made.
Upon seeing both of them sign and noting that everything about the contract seemed in order, Luca Hall smiled to himself and tucked the contract into his bag. Only then did he break his silence: “Now that you both have signed this contract, I am able to disclose further details to you.”
“Mr. Hall, I am intrigued to know, how exactly did he earn his money?” Robert Green asked.
Luca Hall nodded and replied directly, “There’s nothing much to it. My client merely used a piece of technology in exchange for a 4.8% stake in A Computer

Ltd. ”
“You said what?!” Robert Green and Mr. Wood were gobsmacked, their mouths hanging open in disbelief. It took a while for Robert Green to digest the news.
“My client exchanged his technology for a 4.8% stake in A Company.” Luca Hall struggled to hide his amusement at their reaction. The same disbelief etched on Robert’s and Mr. Wood’s faces mirrored his initial reaction. He could hardly contain himself but his face remained serene.
Even though he wasn’t responsible for this achievement, witnessing their reactions provided immense satisfaction. This feeling of delight enveloped him from head to toe.
“I wonder if both of you still have different opinions about my client spending two million dollars? Oh, I suppose that’s not just about spending money. I guess the moral issue involving the girl in question plays a part too. Unclear of the details, but let me guess, you assumed my client has no money? Do you realize how many people would want to share his bed when word gets out about this?” Said Luca Hall with a derisive smirk.
As a lawyer in the North Federation, Luca Hall knew too well that you have to consider your client’s feelings, not other’s opinions. He was certain that his absentee client would be ecstatic as well. It was evident from his spending habits.
Lawyers and psychology go hand in hand.
“Mr. Hall, may I clarify, is the A Computer Ltd you’re referring to the one I know?” Robert Green asked, looking dubious.
“Yes, Robert, the A Computer Ltd. I am referring to is indeed the same one you’re thinking of because…” Luca Hall glanced towards Green’s phone on the desk, “You’re using their product.”
Both Robert Green and Mr. Wood unconsciously looked at the phone on the desk. Impossible? He quizzed, “Mr. Hall, you’re not joking, are you? I don’t know exactly what A Computer Ltd. is worth, but a 4.8% stake should be worth tens of billions of federal coins! What kind of technology is worth that much?”
“Well, Robert, I can tell you, according to today’s stock price, A Computer Ltd. is worth 6522 billion federal coins. The value of the stocks that Mr. Lewis holds is 313 billion federal coins! Not only tens of billions of federal coins. As for what sort of technology, sorry, if I knew, the shares would be mine. Do you comprehend?” Luca Hall retorted sarcastically.
Funny how some people refuse to believe what’s right under their noses. He could relate to that himself. If he hadn’t seen the company’s authorization document, he wouldn’t have believed in this absurdity. A young Flame Nation university student becoming a major personal shareholder of the world’s largest high-tech company?
It’s hard to believe! Unfortunately, it is truth, not a joke!
Robert Green was dumbfounded. Although the matter had nothing to do with him, he was taken aback. To think a student from his university would accomplish such a feat was mind-boggling. Especially for the student they were just about to expel. The situation was beyond his comprehension! Yet, he had to face facts.
The authorization document from A Computer Ltd. and a stock transfer contract with the signatures of most of the board’s shareholders from A Computer Ltd were displayed. The circumstances were truly unbelievable.
Unable to rebut Luca Hall’s harsh words from earlier, Robert Green reluctantly laughed at the absurdity. Not ruining Finn’s reputation? Then what charge would they use to expel him? If they expelled him without any valid reason, the principal, Robert Green, himself would be compelled to resign. He would be lambasted by the entire nation.
To turn this around, they could be seen as expelling the major individual shareholder of the world’s largest high-tech company. People worldwide would ridicule their twisted logic. If the news got out, every single university around the globe would be eager to enrol Finn Lewis.
A student who could trade his technology for the largest individual shares of A
Computer Ltd while still an undergrad, what could he possibly achieve once he graduated?
