After some kids my turn arrived. I walked forward confidently yet nervous inside. And said, "Master, what are your orders?"
The family head replied with a stern face, " The 2 choices you will be given are the following."
"Your 1st Choice is,
'Leave the inheritance and just have fun, U leave be given a avg. Pocket money of 90Lakhs/month. Spend it as you like, party all night, sleep with girls and marry who u want. We will not interfere, and, we will also provide free lawyer for any case u entangle in or do.
For your children, we will give them the same options and if they also choose 1st choice then the grandchild of yours will be disowned by the family only if he/she does not show any profitability for the family and same will occur for your next 5 generations if your grandchild.'
Your 2nd Choice will be,
'Take a participation contest to join the main family. You will be given tasks to complete without the family's support. And will have to complete all of them in the given time frame. Your biological parents/guardian can choose to give you some inheritance at the beginning but cannot contact you in any form or you will be disqualified from the contest, and will be kicked out of the family with just an inheritance of 5lakh/annually from the family treasury and nothing else, (even from the thing mentioned in option 1). The new family head may change this and make it to 0 or increases it. It will be purely their decision and no objections will be entertained at that time.'"
Without giving it much though I relied with confidence "I choose the first option"; with nothing but 10cr of allowance given by my parents and few rules of the way of life, I want to follow. I had decided to leave the family after giving it a second thought about the deciding manner of life I want to live.
The given task was….
I was given the task to live a unknown life with a fake identity in the Advance World, and then get into a university as an orphan, pass out and then live 2.5 years of life without any relation to the family in poverty. You may use your personal inheritance but secretly. If the people around you or we feel like it has been leaked the fact that you are rich then you will be kicked out of the family head's race; the only money you are allowed to use is earn by a publicly open method and with record of how you got that job or how you managed to get start up funds etc.. Realistically this was the hardest task given by the family after generations of task giving.
As,.
My older brother got the task of managing a fallen company in the land of Land Of Beasts and bringing it back to life after living 5 years without the family name.
My 2nd older sister got the task of expanding, a business, which was not her stronghold. Her speciality was to manage a business and gradually increase it's sales and profitability, basically a perfect manager under the CEO.
Similarly, my other older brothers and sisters got varied tasks to do.
Well as the task giving came to an end the last person left to receive task was Anne Ravender, and the task she received was to serve under me (Abhinath) which shocked the entire room. As this was unprecedented, further more it was clearly stated that she will have no relation with her father and that he had disowned her, as she was nothing more then a burden to the family, his family. He had submitted a request to me to inform you about this today. The only connection you will have with the Ravender is that you are now an server of Abhinath and will a company him in his task and you will be placed under same restrictions. But if you are found to have been using the family funds or your personal funds in public then you will be completely expelled and kicked out of the family permanently.
And the last thing the patriarch said was that we had 1 months time to prepare everything before the task will begin.
With this the meeting had come to an end.
As I started leaving, Anne walked up to me and said, "It seems I will now serve you." in a low tone.
I replied that, "Yes, that seems to be the case, so as you have nowhere to go why don't you follow me and, out of your personal attendants, I will pick who will come with you. And by the way, call me Sir, in public and when we are alone address me as Abhi bhai"
{Bhai or Bhaiya means brother in Hindi}
She replied, "ok, Abhi bhaiya." and started following me.
I went out accompanied by the butler and my new sister. Well the only reason, I did not care if she was a spy was because I knew about her more then she knew about herself. And, I knew 1 thing that we are going to have an head ache soon planting more spies to gain info on her dad and her siblings every move.
As we stepped out the mansion a fleet of cars stood outside and men in black stepped out bowing and shouted, "Young master, Welcome and congratulation on getting your task!!!"
I nodded and walked forward, the men in near the door of my vehicle opened the door as I got near my ride. I sat in and as Anne was also getting in the guard stopped her but then I allowed her to come in naturally the guard stepped aside and bowed respectfully. He then ran to the car behind me and quickly sat in as the convoy started moving.
Few minutes later we reached to our jet and boarded it. We flew back home.
We arrived at my mansion at 5 in the evening and I went straight to granpa's study knocked slightly, and headed in. Anne followed me quietly, but when she saw my grandfather, she bowed and greeted my grand-father, trembling, as she remembered how her father treated her, thinking this might be even worse. I too great my grandpa and said grandpa, as you would already know what happened at the meeting, what are your next instruction.
Grandfather said "You will now understand our companies both personal and the joint company of the Ranvender family. But before that, Anne give me the exact details of your company 'Whale enterprises' and hand over 50% of the shares of your company to Abhinath. Afterward learn with abhi all about the his company and management. You will manage all of Abhinath's assets, and be his hands and feet from now on."
Anne was shocked and asked trembly, "Why do you trust me so much, even my father did not believe in me and here you are giving me such opportunities."
Grandfather cut her off and spoke, " your company Whale enterprises and its asset which you grow from your monthly allowance is great and all the task you managed to succeed on. Even after getting close to no assist from your father and keeping it safe under your brothers and sisters fox like eyes is impressive as it is and your image which you built is even more, that you even managed to misguide Austin in such a manner that he did not even put an effort to investigate you. If he had, he would not have sent you here."
Anne exclaimed, "Wait a minute, how do you know about my company which as you told, not even my father knew about it."
Grandfather simply nodded and the doors of his study open what stood their were Anne's servants who gradually stepped in. And formed a rows of line.
I simply spoke two words, "Come Out!"
Out of the 50 men and women who were part of Anne's servants here 20 stepped forward, which included some of Anne closest aids, her managers and her cooks. Looking at this Anne got confused as to what was happening, and what was the meaning of this?
Then Grandfather spoke and stated, "those who came out are are our personal agents to inform us about all that was happening at that place which used to be your home. From here we got all the information on your father, your brothers and sisters and now the most important person you."
Hearing this all the 20 servants bowed and said, "We greet the Master and the Young Master!"
Afterwards, Anne was shocked to the core that her most trusted aids were mostly planted; and all her secrets were leaking to a rival's family branch family without her knowledge. Further, she thought that the explained how they knew almost everything about her and found her trust worthy even though they were meeting for the first time.
This also engraved a fear in her that they knew everything about their rivals specially me 'Anne' and I didn't even get a hint of it . This sent shivers down my spine.
Abhi's grandfather's intelligence network was so strong that even some of the top agencies of the world may be of no match. And compared to the families intelligence network they were just tailing behind and could over take the family's intelligence soon.
She understood that having an incredibly powerful intelligence network is like the insight of each decision taken for the family. Credible intelligence provides new heights and informs how much risk would be there and how much ahead of our competitors we are. At the same, time mislead information can be the cause of the downfall of the entire family overnight. Whereas, as useful it is to us, it can be said it is equally dangerous to the competitors as we have there entire or most valuable information which can make them come to there knees and/or bankrupt them in matter of day or minutes. This was just the tip of the benefits of having a strong intelligence service.
As her thoughts started to settle down grandfather spoke in an authoritative manner, " From tomorrow both of you will be prepared for the upcoming trail. And will be introduced to your business and it's management. For now, that is all You May Leave."
