Alex brought the vehicle to a stop at the entrance of the grand mansion as everyone stepped out. From up close, the mansion was even more breathtaking.

    "Come on in," Alex invited everyone as they made their way towards the main entrance where a man dressed professionally waited.

    "Bro, when did you get this place?" Aaron asked, his gaze roaming everywhere. His family already knew Alex had a lot of wealth after his return as he even showed them some of the things he got.

    "This morning before coming to get everyone," Alex replied curtly.

    The agent assigned to show everyone around gave a polite bow.

    "Master Gray. Welcome." He welcomed the group and they acknowledged his greetings with curt nods.

    With the pleasantries out of the way, the agent led them inside, gesturing around as they stepped into a spacious foyer.

    "As you can see, the main hall features high ceilings with elegant chandeliers and polished marble floors. To the left, there''s the living room with large windows and a cosy fireplace, perfect for family gatherings."

    He led everyone towards the grand living room with high-end furniture most of the Gray family only saw on TV. Olivia and Aaron were buzzing with excitement and didn''t know where to direct that energy.

    Olivia had it easier as her husband made sure to keep her in check before she forgot her place as an adult.

    Looking at their expressions, the agent knew the family liked what they saw and continued.

    "On the right is the dining area connected to a fully equipped modern kitchen. Upstairs, you''ll find five bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and plenty of closet space."

    As he spoke, he led the Gray family to the various spaces he talked about. Ross, Alex and Julia stood in the back as they watched the agent give a tour of the house.

    "The place is nice," Julia muttered. "It''s modern and sleek, yet retains its homely feeling. You chose well."

    "Yeah..." Alex agreed.@@@@

    "The vehicle is for you and more." Alex shrugged. "A vehicle would be wasted on me."

    Once upon a time, he would have wanted to get a supercar, but that was no longer on his list of things he wanted. He was faster than anything ever built by man—hyperdrives included.

    ''Though a spaceship would be needed for explorations.'' He made a mental note to get one of those, preferably a mini spaceship with a hyperdrive.

    Turning around, Alex faced his sister and asked, "So, are we good?"

    "Yeah," Olivia looked at Shawn and he smiled in response. "Yeah, we''re good." That was all Alex needed to hear.

    Of course, if there was anything else she wanted, all she had to do was ask. His wealth was his family''s wealth. He didn''t really need them at this point.

    ''It''s weird, isn''t it? There was a time when all I wanted was to be able to afford something like this. Now, it doesn''t even matter anymore.'' He pondered in silence.

    "Why don''t I make something for everyone," Sarah suggested and moved towards the kitchen.

    "I''ll help." Olivia rushed after her mother while the rest of the family moved to take a seat in the living room.

    The house was fully stocked with all the essentials and also had a gigantic storage for the leftovers.

    "We''ll still have to retune for our stuff, you know?" William said. "Not to mention, see the lord of the building and close the rental agreement.

    "Yeah. We''ll get to that." Alex agreed. "For now, I want to propose something else." His expression took a serious turn, prompting William to sit up.

    "What is it?"

    "How do you feel about getting a security detail?"
