Chapter 154 Valentine's Day



It\'s been a few months since they started shooting the movie. They were half done with production.

At the same time the firm was going strong, they launched the funds as instructed. Abigail did an outstanding job inviting some influential people to the opening ceremony.

Most of them decided to invest in the company, which was great for establishing connections. They had already raked in hundreds of millions in capital, and with a sure fee for handling that money, the firm could enjoy steady profits on every transaction.

Today before the filming started Samuel became the busiest person in the room. He was not even done dressing before several girls flocked to his room.

It was for the infamous Valentine\'s day chocolate Samuel received dozen of them. He had gotten quite close to other child cast members over the month, but even he didn\'t expect this level of response.

Although he had some prior knowledge, he needed to learn that it was this prevalent among the youth.

Most of them were friendly gestures, but he was sure he had seen a few of them blush while he received their gifts, because of which he became the target of jealousy. He was not even a star yet but was already making names. Rupert was already giving him a smirk; only god knows what he was implying.

With this sudden development, he had to do something. Receiving gifts was fine, but it didn\'t sit right with him; he had to improvise.

During his restroom break, he decided to call someone who could arrange a few things to gift back. But the problem was he was struggling to determine who to contact.

His mother, Laura, was not an option. He knew that she would definitely overdo things. He could already picture her bringing expensive stuff without caring about the world. He knew the others wouldn\'t accept it.

Steve would be a wrong choice; he was a military man through and through, which begs the question of his ability to decide on decent gifts. Same with Uncle David.

Marilyn, his so-called assistant, was overbooked due to the firm\'s launch. He had seen her less and less and was thinking about a replacement.

Aunt Mary and other elders would also overreact; the Rothschilds\' blood ran thick in them. They would definitely cause trouble if he notified them.

This only left him with one option: the only sane person in the family he knew about. He called her.

" Hello, Aunt Amelia."

" umm, Hello, who is this?" Amelia said while moaning.

" Aunt, It\'s Samuel. I need your help." Samuel said.

" What happened? Is something wrong?" She asked. She was still sleepy but wide awake, listening to his urgent voice. Due to the time difference, it was six o\'clock in the morning in the USA.

" Nothing, it\'s not serious. I am sorry for calling you out of the blue, but I need a favor."

" Tell me I am listening."

Samuel explained the situation while she listened attentively. She was shocked to find out why he called so early in the morning.

" Can\'t you ask your parent for help? I am sure other people near you would be more suited for it."

" I know, but most of them are too busy. And about my family, you know how they are. "

Amelia got the message. She knew where Samuel was coming from.

" Ok, Let me think. Only a handful of people know about your identity, and I can\'t physically make it there on such short notice."

" I know; it would be absurd if you came here for such a small issue."

" It\'s not a small issue if my nephew worries about it. I think I know who to call, but it could become a problem in the future."

" We would see to it later. Right now, I only need someone who can help me."

" That he can do. I could also guarantee that your identity would be safe with him."

" Who is this person?"

" Don\'t worry about it. Just send you people near the shopping market and give me the details. I will take it from here." Amelia avoided revealing his identity. But Samuel trusted her, so he didn\'t press for it.

After their conversation, Samuel sent the details to his aunt and called Steve.

" Steve, get a few of you men to meet the person near the newly opened shopping mall. You know the location, right?"

" Yes, sir! What is the mission?"

" There will be someone there to meet with you. He will explain to you in further detail. Just remember to bring my corporate card with you. You will need it."

" You mean your credit card? Are you buying something, sir?"

" No, you are buying. Tell others, too; if they want something, they could use the card. Take it as a gift for your hard work."

" Sir?"

" Meeting is in one hour" Samuel disconnected the phone before Steve could ask for more answers. His break was over.

------------------------------------------------------------

Many people didn\'t know, but Samuel\'s first public appearance in the Harry Potter interview birthed a huge fandom dedicated explicitly to him. Emma and Rupert were also included, but support for Samuel was overwhelming.

Very few people knew about his real identity, with his long hair gone and added glasses, even those who knew him personally never connected these two.

Who would believe that the heir of the most powerful family on the planet would take this career route? They knew one black sheep of the family, George, but even he was a well-respected director who was not easy without talent.

But every other family member that the public knew of was in the family business or somehow connected to it. That was how the empire was formed, which was why they were so famous.

And for getting their daily news about the family, there was a unique site. An archive solely dedicated to tallying the family\'s activities. It started out small, but now It is operated by a few dozen people who collect intel from around the world.

One of the most extended members of the forum was Maxilis. He knew most about it and helped them grow their influence. And now he had embarked into a different field, from a bona fide \'conspiracy theorist\' to the founder of a new religion. He had found his purpose in life.

He was at a monthly gathering when he received a phone call.

" Hello, Maxilis?" It was a female voice on the other side of the call.

" Yes. Hello. Who am I speaking with?" He replied as he didn\'t recognize the number or the voice.

" This is Amelia Rothschild. We met before."

" R-Rothschild? Yes, yes. I remember meeting you." He raised his voice a little at the mention of that name. The other member also went alert, hearing him say the word.

" I didn\'t know that president was this famous. He is receiving a direct call from the Rothschild family."

" You must be new here. The president was a high-ranking member of that forum."

" Forum?"

" Yes, the Rothschild forum. He knows all their dirty secrets."

" I was right to get under his wings then!"

" I told you. You can\'t underestimate the president!"

It became lively for a few seconds, making Maxilis go toward a quiet location.

" Miss, How can I help you?" He asked Amelia.

" I know all about your secret fan group. I have been avoiding it for quite a while, but now with Samuel\'s public appearance. I think we have to shut you down." Amelia said with a severe tone.

" Miss, please, you can\'t do this. You can\'t shut down religion. It is prohibited by law!"

" I could do it because my nephew is the face of it. You haven\'t told anyone, right? If you let his identity slip, I can\'t guarantee what will happen to you."

" A-are you serious? I\'m sure I haven\'t said a word to anyone." Maxilis panicked. He knew more than anyone the power behind the family. If they wanted to make him disappear, no one would be able to find out.

" Hmm, How do I know you are telling the truth? Wouldn\'t it be easier if I went to my sister-in-law\'s? You know her history, right?"

" Please, You have to believe me. I don\'t want to be involved with anything concerning the \'Demoness\'" Just the mere mention of Laura\'s name sent chills down his spine.

" Ok, Ok. I will let you off on one condition. You could also keep doing whatever you are doing." Amelia smiled, hearing his nervous voice. It was going exactly as she expected.

" I humbly accept it!"

" At least listen to me first!"

" y-yes"

" How many of you out there?" She asked.

" Online, we have thousands, but I personally know a dozen of them. They are currently with me; we are holding an orientation."

" Good. Gather everyone and head toward the London market. Someone will meet you there."

" Miss? Is this-"

" Don\'t worry, you are perfectly safe. You have to do a job for me. Actually, it is a favor for Samuel."

" Your humble servant will listen to you any command!"

" Don\'t get too excited. I am sending you the details. Someone will be there to meet you; they will brief you about the situation."

" Yes, ma\'am."

" Remember, this directly concerns Samuel; I hope you do a good job. Maybe you can even meet him in person."

" I will not disappoint you!" Maxilis has fired up again. He couldn\'t believe he had been presented with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After the call, Maxilis rushed to the meeting room to tell his \'colleagues\' the news. Just like that, today\'s meeting turned into a field operation.
