    Initially, the elderly gentleman found great joy in observing thendscape and sunsets from his helicopter each day. However, as time passed, the views began to lose their charm, and he started to feel a bit of monotony. He yearned for the vi’spletion so he could enjoy his twilight years in tranquility.


    As soon as hended, his loyal butler, who had served him faithfully for many years, hurried over holding a satellite phone. “Master, Miss Zara called! She said it’s urgent and wants you to return her call as soon as you can!” he said in a rush.


    Given the remote location of the old man’s residence, there was no wirelesswork avable. He could onlymunicate via satellite phones, which were clunky and limited in functionality. As a result, he seldom carried one, relying on the butler to fasten it to his waist. Upon hearing that his granddaughter needed him for something important, he swiftly grabbed the phone and dialed Zara Banks.


    The connection was established quickly, and Zara’s voice came through, “Grandpa, I have some exciting news to share!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “What is it?” Lord Banks asked, his curiosity piqued. “Could it be that Charlie Wade wants me back?”


    Zara replied, “It’s not quite that good…”


    She continued, “But Mr. Wade reached out to me and said he has an urgent task for you. If you can handle it well, he’ll provide you with additional support as needed.”


    “Really?” Lord Banks asked eagerly. “What’s this urgent task? Does he want me to procure lemurs from Madagascar or breadfruit trees?”


    “Neither of those…” Zara rified. “Mr. Wade wants you to acquire all the vending machinepanies in Africa, starting with Nigeria.”


    “Vending machinepanies?” Lord Banks questioned, feeling a bit bewildered. “What kind of business strategy is Charlie Wade pursuing? Why focus on the vending machine sector in Africa?”


    Zara responded, “I’m not entirely sure of the specifics, but Mr. Wade emphasized that we need to act quickly, especially regarding Nigeria. It’s crucial we secure it as soon as possible.”<fn49e8> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn49e8>


    “Nigeria…” Lord Banks mused, “Can I go there in person?”


    “Absolutely,” Zara confirmed. “Mr. Wade mentioned that you’re permitted to leave Madagascar during this period and can explore any country or region in Africa.”


    “Fantastic!” Lord Banks eximed, pping his thigh in excitement. “I see breadfruit trees every day—it’s bing tiresome. Nigeria seems to be more prosperouspared to here. It should be a more pleasant experience.”


    Zara added, “Grandpa, you must seize this chance. If you impress Mr. Wade, there’s a possibility you could return to China. At the very least, he might allow you some time each year to visit your family.”


    “Yes, yes, yes!” Lord Banks nodded vigorously. “I understand. Don’t worry; I’ll arrange my itinerary immediately and head to Nigeria today!”
