With how confident he sounded, the professors were left slightly taken aback. For a man in his thirties to no longer need to pursue money… Only Zivon could say such things! However, he had every right to feel that way. After all, he had enough cash to fund several institutions and still live luxuriously! Nobody in the room could even come close to comparing to him…! Oh, how unfair life was…!
Regardless, once the professors had left, Zivon was prompted to get up and look at the giant skyscraper outside… Despite how tall the building was, he didn’t seem any smaller at all. In fact, he seemed taller… Stronger…
Throughout his childhood in the Burton household, he had watched several of his family members plotting against each other… Hurting each other. All in the name of money. That alone had already made his younger self want to return to his much simpler village home…
Regardless, as his profits increased year by year, his numbness toward wealth simply continued rising. At the end of the day, a person’s respect was judged based on how many swipes of their credit card they could make… But Zivon found that meaningless. So what if one could be surrounded by fancy things? Slaving away at the workplace also meant that there’d be little time for personal growth… For children…
He had founded Project One last year to help find a cure for autistic children. His goal was to create pills that would help those poor kids reintegrate into society. Naturally, this was no easy task, and he needed to be sure that the pills were truly safe before actually releasing them to the public.
The fact that Xavia had shown so much interest in his efforts that night only served to support this decision of his to finally leave the business world. No longer would he be bound by money, and he’d also be able to make her like him more…
“…Thank you for giving me more faith in life, Xav…” muttered Zivon before heading downstairs to take a smoke.
Once he had made sure that he no longer smelled of cigarettes, he headed into his car and sent a message to Xavia that stated, ‘I’m done with work. Where are you?’
