Mira told Owen, "This game caters perfectly to people's psychological needs. I have a feeling it's going to be a massive hit. Trust me. Think about it—when has my intuition ever been wrong? It worked for paid music, it worked for EcoRide, and it's going to work for gaming, the internet, and mobile operating systems."

"Yeah, and your ability to talk people into things is just as flawless," Owen replied. "Look at us now. My mentor and I are practically working for you."

"How is it talking you into things?" she teased. "You two aren't losing out. You're major shareholders."

In Nexus Core Systems, Owen and their mentor held significant shares. Mira had even given Harvey Rivers a small stake. The investment required was astronomical, and carrying it alone would have been exhausting. There was strength in numbers.

Mira had heard from Owen that Harvey had been a massive help during this trip to Aethelgard, both in dealing with Warren Yates and handling the concert. As long as Mira held the majority of the shares, she maintained absolute control over the conglomerate, which was all that mattered.

"True, we're not losing out," Owen agreed.

Not only were they not losing out, but they had also made a fortune alongside her. Mira had opened entirely new doors for them. Initially, Owen and his mentor had only stepped in to help out of sympathy, never expecting her to rise so quickly. Owen could already see that in the near future, she was going to become a formidable titan in the business world.

Returning to the hotel that evening, Mira realized she hadn't actually explored Aethelgard yet. She turned to Owen. "I'm heading back in a couple of days, and since you're a local, shouldn't you play tour guide and show me around?"

"Boss, you've packed my schedule to the brim, and now you're complaining I'm not entertaining you?"

For the past few days, Owen had been constantly meeting with headhunters, trying to poach top-tier talent from overseas. At the same time, he was tapping into his network of former classmates and friends abroad to procure the most advanced equipment. Developing a cutting-edge mobile operating system required not just robust computer hardware, but also world-class software tools and network infrastructure.
