The Alpha CEO

Time To Go Home

---District A, Airport Region, Aurora City---

A striking convoy of black luxury cars navigated the roads with breathtaking speed, darting across the highway like sleek shadows. The sudden burst of velocity left onlookers awestruck, their surprise evident in their stunned expressions.

The lineup of this convoy was nothing short of extravagant: a quintet of Rolls-Royce vehicles, each representing the pinnacle of opulence and elegance. Among them were two 2020 Rolls-Royce Phantoms, two 2020 Rolls-Royce Wraiths, and the pièce de résistance, a 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost. With each of these automobiles valued at a minimum of $300,000, their presence on the city streets was a rarity, let alone five of these exceptional and exorbitantly priced cars gracing the highway simultaneously.

As passersby witnessed this breathtaking spectacle, their astonishment found voice:

"Who in the world could afford such an extravagant convoy?"

"Which affluent young master is lavishing money with such abandon?"

If Alexander were privy to their thoughts, he might have been taken aback. This was the convoy that Jeremy had orchestrated for his trip, but the extravagance of it all exceeded even his expectations.

Of course, the most prominent figure within the lineup was Alexander himself, accompanied by his dedicated subordinates. They occupied the 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost, a vehicle that radiated luxury and sophistication. Their destination: the Sovereign's Private Airport.

The Sovereign's Private Airport stood as a fortress of exclusivity, housing not only the Sovereign but also military aircraft. Its security measures were so stringent that even a fly's entry would trigger alarms.

Minutes later, the convoy arrived at the private airport. Alexander's gaze swept over this sprawling facility, and though he had anticipated its immense scale, the reality exceeded his wildest imaginings.

"How much could have possibly been invested in the construction of this private airport?" he mused aloud.

The terminal building of the Sovereign's Private Airport sprawled over a staggering 6 million square feet, encompassing a land area of over 18 square miles. This rivaled the proportions of super-sized airports in Asia and America. The construction costs alone had soared to an astonishing $10 billion, a figure that boggled the mind.

The airport had expanded to such colossal dimensions that it boasted its own distinct zip code and emergency services, technically constituting its own city. Designed with both functionality and readiness for emergencies, it incorporates advanced sustainability features, including solar panels, waste heat recovery systems, and water management protocols to mitigate environmental impact.

Primarily serving political, military, and economic functions, the airport stood as a hub for vital operations.

As the convoy ventured further into the airport complex, it took a mere eight minutes to arrive at the hangar, where a prestigious array of aircraft awaited.

Alexander's eyes widened as he beheld these iconic airplanes: the Boeing 737, the Airbus A380, the Cessna Skyhawk, and the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. However, it was the sight of a colossal aircraft within the hangar that left him truly astounded.

His mouth hung agape, his expression an amalgamation of disbelief and admiration as he took in the presence of the supersonic airliner known as the 'Concorde.' This aircraft was renowned for its exorbitant maintenance costs, and its inclusion within this fleet was a testament to opulence.

The Concorde, a British-French turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner, graced the skies from 1976 until 2003. It boasted a maximum speed exceeding twice the speed of sound, cruising at Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km per hour) at optimal altitude. The aircraft accommodated between 92 to 128 passengers, blending luxury with extraordinary velocity.

Jeremy couldn't resist tapping Alexander's shoulder, drawing him from his state of amazement. Alexander chuckled sheepishly as he regained his composure.

"It's time to return home," he announced.

"We have made all necessary arrangements with our local forces. Once the Lord's plane touches down, everything will be in readiness," Jeremy reported.

Continuing, he added, "As per the Lord's request, we have established a foothold through the 'Emgrand Group of Companies.' With a nationwide presence and a branch situated precisely in the city of your destination, the Emgrand Group of Companies boasts a net worth of $10 billion. The vice president has been apprised of your impending arrival and should be awaiting you at this very moment."

"Excellent! Ensure that he maintains the confidentiality of my identity for the time being," Alexander instructed.

Preferring a low-key approach, he aimed to shroud his identity in an enigmatic veil. His meteoric rise to the presidency of the Emgrand Group of Companies had already stirred enough surprise; there was no need to invite undue attention.
