THE HEIR

The effect of great Power

Once home, Yan could not help but think about how he behaved during the day. Thomas noticed it an asked :

" You seem very concerned, Sir. If anything is wrong, you can tell me, you know. "

" It's strange ... " replied Yan

" What is strange? "

" Power ... It made me act like someone else. Showed a part of me that I was not aware of. I used to think I could manage it but I was not prepared for the effect of the feeling brought by power "

" I don't think someone can ever prepare to handle that much power Master. You have not even seen it all. " Said Thomas as he smiled.

Yan understood the meaning behind Thomas's smile, so he wondered what exactly was the full extent of the family's power and how his ancestor was able to handle it. But he did not have the time to ask as his training started and after training, he was so tired that he slept directly after dinner.

The next day, Yan had class very early in the morning and finished at 9 a.m. Then something came to his mind.

" Maybe I should give a surprise to Dereck. After all, he has always been there for me and I have not thanked him yet for his loyalty," he said to himself.

" Hey, Yan !! " Shouted a soft feminine voice as he was still thinking. When Yan turned, he saw Patricia. She was looking at him differently than she used to. But Yan has learned to deal with that change. Ever since his life changed, people have looked at him from a very different point of view. He went from the guy to avoid the guy to be with.

" What do you want? "he replied.

" You have quite changed! I mean you are not the loser we used to know anymore. "

" I don't have time to spend on that. If you do not have anything, to tell me. Then I will go " replied Yan

" Maybe you want to go to a party with us? Ricky will come in a few minutes and we will go to his house. "

" No thanks "

" Okay," said Patricia and Yan left with his motorcycle.

He spent the morning with Dereck and brought him to a motorcycle store :

" Which one do you like? " asked Yan to Dereck.

" Wait ... Are you serious? You don' have to do this, you know. "

" You've always been there for me Dereck. I could never thank you enough for all you've done "

" Don't mention it man !! And don't waste your money on this. You should be buying stuff that brings you money in instead of just wasting it like this. " replied Dereck.

Yan felt the truth in Dereck's words and even though he was a bit sad that Dereck refused his proposal, he found an idea. So he said to the commercial

" Can I talk to the owner? "

" If you have any inquiries you can make an appointment and meet the manager. But I don't know anything about the owner. "

Yan knew that the manager can not do anything for him so he brought Dereck out and left him alone for a moment and called Thomas to request the identity and contact of the owner of the bike shop they were in. Thomas told him and asked :

" Did anything happen, Sir? "

" No no, I just wanted to buy the shop for Dereck "

" Well, I will put Dana on it. Just send me your friend's full name and it will be fine young Master "

Yan sent Dereck's full name and went in the Audi R8.

" Weren't you supposed to attend a birthday party with Cassie? "

" Oh damn!! I almost forgot it !! I still need to go home, Cassie said her cousin is a spoiled rich kid and his family used to look down on her. She even did not want to come but I told her to go anyway. "

" Why did you insist on going there? She's going to feel uneasy. "

" I'm going to go there with her and give a little lesson to that cousin of hers. "

Yan took Dereck to his house and Dereck was just amazed by the size and luxury of the house.

" Do you live here alone? "

" No, I have a butler. By the way, he has something for you, so please stay with him after. But for now, you are going to help me choose a car. "

They went to the garage and when Dereck saw the car collection in there he could not help but laugh.

" Wow !!! Man, is it all yours?!? Are you a billionaire? " Yan told him that he inherited great wealth, but he did not mention how much his total fortune was. In fact, even Yan do not know exactly how rich he is.

Yan just laughed. Among the collection there was a black LaFerrari, a White Bugatti Chiron, a black Bugatti La Voiture Noir and many other luxurious and sports cars, but at the end of the day, he chose the La Voiture Noir and put simple clothes.

He then went to the birthday party, which was organized on a private domain owned by Cassie's uncle Patrick Fosch, the father of her cousin. Mr Fosch was a former governor of the Central Bank and held several high positions in the Financial Industry. He was the youngest General Manager of a bank in the country at that time and temporarily held the position of General Manager of Matsilo Bank before being appointed as Governor of the Central Bank. Now he has his own bank, Fosch & Fils, which is already present in 6 countries but is nothing compared to Mastilo Bank. Matsilo is even an investor in Fosch & Fils with a 40% stake.

The Fosch are very respected in the country and are among the richest in the city. Actually, they were the richest before Yan was found. So people treated them like kings. And their only son, Hugo, acted arrogantly and looked down on people who were not as rich as his family.

After Yan parked his car, he texted Cassie to inform her of his presence. He could see, in his way to Cassie, that people were all dressed in a very formal way but he was put casual clothes intentionally so it did not shake him. He waited a few meters from the crowd to wait for his girlfriend.

As he waited, he noticed two young boys coming.

" Hey you!! What are you doing here? " said one of them, a white skinny boy with straight hair and an arrogant look, as he looked at him upside down.

" I am waiting for someone " said Yan honestly.

" Waiting for someone?!? " Who let you in? Don't you know it's a birthday party?!?

" I am actually one of the guests but I'm just waiting for Cassie to take me ".

" I don't know you, get out of here before I lose my nerves " answered the boy

" Calm down Hugo!! This is your birthday. Leave this to the security okay ". said the other guy with him.

" I just don't like trash people like this to come to my party, Jeff "

Yan was astonished when he heard that guy was Hugo Fosch. He should have asked a picture of him to Cassie. At least he would have known who's birthday he is attending.

" Happy birthday Hugo !! "

" What the f**k ?!? What kind of dumb are you? I said I don't want you in my party "

Cassie just arrived before Hugo finished his sentence. She wore a white formal and sexy dress and was way more attractive than usual.

" Is everything okay guys? " she asked

" No !! Why did you bring this guy here? " replied Hugo. He shouted so much and acted so nervously that they attracted the crowd's attention.

" I have told you I will bring my boyfriend and you accepted. "

" Yes because your mother said to my parents that he was some kind of rich kid but I see that he is not even able to read. Or didn't you tell him that the dress code is formal? "

" I did tell him. " said she as she looked at Yan. Her eyes conveyed a message like why did you dress this way.

" You are just as your parents. Useless !! Useless !! ..."

" What's the problem my son? " said a black man with very confident eyes and great posture and white beards in a Navy Blue suit. He had short hair and very well cared teeth. The stereotype of a rich person.

" Dad !! I don't like this guy !! I don't want him in my party. "

" Do you know this person Cassie? " asked Mr Fosch.

" Yes he is my boyfriend. I have already told you about him and you accepted him in. "

" Hugo ... We don't change one's mind in the flux of emotion like that. You have accepted to invite him so you have to honour your promise. " said the man to his son.

" Sorry for this trouble, Yan. Please join the crowd with Cassie. "

Hugo's face showed that he was really not happy but he had no choice than obey his father. So while Cassie, Yan and his father joined the crowd, he went in the house to see his mother, Valerie, to complain about what just happened.

Then, she came out of the house, furious and took the microphone.

" As a reminder for everyone here, this is my Hugo's birthday so anyone who dares ruin this party by making my son upset is not welcome even a family member. So please, Mr Yan Raza, have the courtesy to leave this place and do not forget to bring your useless girlfriend with you as you go. " said Valerie Fosch.

Yan was shocked by the scene. Not later than 10 minutes Mr Fosch just said he could stay and now Mrs Fosch just told the opposite in public. No wonder why Hugo is such a huge joke.

Yan stood up, apologized and took the car at the parking lot.

A few moments later, his Bugatti approached the crowd and stopped. All eyes looked at it. Even some of the waiters could not help but stare at it. Hugo's friends tool pictures and came near the car as Yan waited for Cassie to join him but she did not seem to understand that this was Yan's car. So he went out of the car and called

" Let's go Cassie!! "

Hugo and his mother did not understand what happened and the crowd could not believe what they saw.

" No you can't!! " Said Hugo suddenly on the microphone.

" I mean, my mother misunderstood what I said. I did not mean to make you leave the party but I just expected you to follow the dress code. So please stay guys. "

" I am sorry for the confusion, please stay Yan and Cassie " added his mother

Funny how their attitude changed in a matter of a few minutes. Just because Yan had a car that no one in the city has ever seen.

The party started and everybody was enjoying it. The cake was the biggest Yan has ever seen in his life, although they were very few, just about 50 people there. The foods and drinks were amazing and a famous singer came to animate the party and sing the birthday song to Hugo along with the crowd.

Now it was time for the gifts. All of them were already deposited at entry so the security brought them and Hugo started unboxing them

Yan's gift was a book but Hugo just through it in the ground when he saw it.

" Trash " said he.

The public was used to his behaviour but Yan had difficulties to swallow it. He gave him a book to help him become a good person but he just through it away and considered it as trash.

Then after a few boxes came a huge blue box as tall a human. At the surprise of Yan, there was a brand new white Range Rover SVAutobiography in it. Yan could not imagine that an 18 year old boy could get a brand new car as a birthday gift. The few gifts Dereck gave him as birthday presents were clothes, shoes, and different kind of books. And when he attended Dereck's birthday, his parents gave him jewelleries, toys or perfume.

But the greater surprise is still to come. When Hugo saw the car he was not happy. He came to his father who bought the car for him and whispered some words.

Then, when everybody started to talk to each other, the Fosch approached Yan and Cassie and they subtly started a conversation.

" It's a beautiful car you brought with you Yan " said Mr Fosch.

" Thank you "

" Is it yours? " asked Mrs Fosch.

" Yes " replied Yan with a little laugh. He could not hold himself in front of Mrs Fosch's lack of tact.

" I did not know you had such good taste Cassie " Added Hugo's mother.

" How long have you been in the city? I have not heard of a new family moving recently. " Added Mr Fosch. Of course he is not aware of all the family moving in the city but any time there is an influential family coming, he is notified as they are potential customers for his bank.

" I am just here for study, I grew up in Lakeside Ravenhood. " That's were the orphanage he grew up was.

" And what business are your parents in? I have never heard the name Raza before. "

" My parents are not of this world anymore. I have never seen them actually. "

" We're so sorry Yan " said Hugo's parents.

" I am sorry for your parents too. How come you never told me? ", said Cassie

" You never asked " replied he.

" So, you bought this car with your money? " said Hugo, joining the conversation after a long moment of silence.

Patrick Fosch : " You are some kind of self made rich then? If I'm not mistaken, this car is worth 3 Million Dollars, so you must have made a lot of money to own one. " The Fosch could have simply thought that it was a location. But nobody in the country rents this car. They have made their own search before approaching Yan and Cassie.

Yan : " Not at all. I just inherited my family's businesses. "

Hugo : " Lucky boy !! "

Valerie Fosch : " And what is your bank? You know, my husband has a very good bank. Maybe our service will interest you. "

Hugo understood that this was an opportunity to make business so he kept on : " Yes we have a black card, like this one, which is actually only available under invitation, that we think would be very useful to you. We will give the invitation to Cassie tomorrow so that she gives it to you. " Said he as he pulled out a Fisch & Fils black card.

Yan : " Thank you so much, but I am currently at Matsilo Bank and I don't think I need another card "

Valerie Fosch : " So you already have a black card? It's fine, Matsilo is a good bank too. Do you know that Patrick used to be the General Manager there? It is thanks to the experience he got there that he were able to build Fosch & Fils "

" That's amazing !! I do not have a black card but Thomas told me this will be enough. " replied Yan.

Hugo : " Can you show your card? "

Although it was not really polite to ask, Yan pulled his card out. and Hugo laughed when he saw it, while Mr Fosch could not believe what he saw.

Hugo : " You should really get a black card. You can't imagine all the advantages the holder of this card has. Last month I went on a vacation abroad and I was offered a private concierge service available 24/7 just because of my black card. You're really missing out if don't have one. Isn't it Dad? "

Hugo looked at his father but Patrick Fosch was away and did not outer any word.

Valerie Fosch : " Honey are you alright? "

" Yes, I am "

Valerie Fosch : " Your son just asked you a question "

" Don't bother Hugo, he said he did not need a black card " replied the man.

Hugo and his mother were both surprised by Patrick's answer. He was the one who taught them to never miss a business opportunity, and now he is the one that ruins the deal, although the need is present.

When the party was over, Yan took Cassie home and the the Fosch discussed about what just happened.

" Why did you ruin the deal Dad? " said Hugo.

" I did not ruin anything. "

" That's not what happened in the real world I am afraid " added Valerie Fosch.

" He does not need a black card, I told you " replied Patrick

" Why? He is crazy rich and his card is a sh*t "

" You don't what that card it was. Have you touched it? "

" No, but isn't the black card the best in the market? "

" Yes but this card is not on the market. "

Valerie Fosch : " What do you mean Honey? "

Patrick Fosch : " I could never imagine that I would meet the owner of this card at a birthday party. Only general managers know about this card. It is the exclusive card of the owner of Mastilo Bank. The first and biggest bank in the country. The bank that lended money to other banks so that they could open their door. You two, were acting so ignorantly. You had better hope he was not offended. Because if he was. It will be the end of Fosch & Fils. "

Valerie Fosch " Oh my goodness !! So what can we do? "

" Nothing. Just stop ill-treating your sister "

Cassie's mother was Valerie's sister, but she looked down on her as she always ignored her advice to think about her future and marry a rich man. The two sisters were both gifted with amazing beauty, but Sandra, Cassie's mother, was not as materialistic as her sister. And since Sandra was the more beautiful one, many of Valerie's rich friends wanted to date her and some were even ready to marry her without getting to know her.

After taking Cassie home, Yan headed to his house, and the temptation to test the power of a 1500 Horsepower car was so great that he could not resist. The sound was unique, the speed sensational and the power insane. Yan has never felt such feelings before and in the middle of his speed, he could hear the police siren behind him. So he pulled over his car.

But to his surprise, the police officer just told him to slow down and asked if he wanted to be escorted home. A proposition he accepted as it might not happen twice.

In fact, the plate of each car of Yan is special. It contains a code informing police officers that the owner has immunity and holds a very high position in the country. But Yan only knew that when he counted what happened to Thomas.
