Chapter 178
“I agree with you very much!”
Fermin nodded and said, “It is only when you are dying that you realize that too much money is useless and will not prolong your
life anyway.”
Oliver smiled and didn’t answer. Many books had mentioned this truth, and historical records contained numerous examples.
Many prominent individuals initially sought wealth and power, but ultimately, what they wanted the most was to live longer.
However, anyone died in the end, no matter how much wealth and power he had.
After sighing for a while, Fermin suddenly said something that surprised Oliver. “Oliver, I really hope you can marry my daughter
Cassia and be my son-in-law!”
Oliver was dumbfounded, shook his head awkwardly, and refused. “Sir, I already have someone I love. And I love her very much.
Cassia is good, but I only love that one person.”
Fermin shook his head and said, “You misunderstood, Oliver. I didn’t ask you to marry only my daughter. In your Clusian words,
people who do great things are not strict about details. You can marry as many women as you
like.”
Oliver smiled bitterly.
After that, Oliver stayed here for another week or so. Oliver treated all seven members of the Dellas family and then prepared to
return home.
After healing the Dellas family, Oliver did not mention the reward at all, because Fermin had already given him much money.
Shark arranged for his subordinates to manage the casino and hotel, while he himself was preparing to start a new life with
Oliver.
Hailey stayed in the hotel and became an executive. After Oliver took over Shark’s shares in the hotel, Hailey was basically his
agent for these shares.
After a long wait, the day came for them to return home.
Although Shark was rich, he was not a top millionaire and couldn’t afford a private plane, so he had to take regular flights.
But Fermin had as many as five private planes, and numerous luxury yachts, and even Cassia owned a Boeing 747-modified
private luxury plane.
Fermin asked Oliver if Oliver wanted to fly home on one of Fermin’s private planes, but Oliver refused without hesitation. It was
not that he didn’t like enjoying it, but that he didn’t want to be constrained.
On the day before leaving, Oliver met Denise and gave her a check for 1 million Oros.
Denise said in shock, “Mr. Eastwood, you’ve already given me a lot of money. This...”
“Take it.” Oliver smiled and said, “I’m going back home tomorrow. Maybe we won’t see each other again. Thank you for your help
these days. Just take the money. Goodbye!”
“Goodbye!” Denise replied in a daze.
Denise didn’t know what to say anymore, and she was confused holding the check.
But Denise felt she didn’t want the temporary boss to leave because Oliver was generous, handsome, and rich.
Too bad Oliver didn’t like Denise.
The next day, Fermin personally led a team to escort Oliver and his pals to the airport.
Oliver didn’t see Cassia there and felt relieved. Oliver was afraid that Fermin would ask Oliver to be his son-in-law again.
At the international airport, see-offs were not allowed to enter the security area as a matter of rule.

However, Fermin ignored the rule and took Oliver and others directly into the VIP aisle, and then they took the airport VIP car
directly to the check-in.
As soon as Oliver got out of the car, he saw a giant aircraft. It was an Airbus 380, the largest wide-body airliner in the world.
On the stairs, two blonde middle-aged men and four bright stewardesses bowed down to greet them. These flight attendants
said in Clusianese, “Welcome aboard, Mr. Oliver Eastwood!”
Their accents weren’t quite standard, but Oliver understood them anyway. Puzzled, Oliver looked around.
Except for Oliver, Shark, Wayne, and Simon, there were no other passengers around.
Oliver thought, ‘Just the four of us on this big plane?
The airline will lose money doing this, won’t it?’
When Oliver went up the stairs, he saw one of the stewardesses smiling at him. The stewardess looked so familiar to Oliver!
Oliver thought, “Isn’t this... Denise?!”
“Mr. Eastwood, please board the plane.” Denise greeted Oliver with a smile.
Oliver was stunned and then asked, “Are you in charge of this flight today?”
Denise nodded. Then she shook her head and said with a smile, “Mr. Eastwood, I will be your employee from now on. You are
my boss.”
Oliver didn’t understand what Denise meant. Oliver followed Oliver to the plane and suddenly found that it was not a passenger
plane at all!
There were various areas inside the plane, such as living room, recreation hall, dining room, bedroom, etc., and the decoration
was extremely luxurious.
The floor was covered with top-class hand-woven carpets, and furniture such as sofas had a clear Kartell brand logo.
It was the most expensive luxury home brand in the world.
“Well... Isn’t it a private plane?”
Oliver turned to look at Fermin, wondering, “Didn’t I refuse Fermin’s private plane?”
Fermin smiled and said, “Oliver, it’s not my private plane. It’s yours. Of course, it belonged to me before. It was a customized
private plane modified from Airbus 380 the year before last. I just bought it a little over two months ago, and I haven’t used it
once, so it’s a completely new plane, and I transferred it to you. Now the pilots, flight attendants, and other supporting personnel
on the plane are all your private employees. In addition, I have completed the procedures for your return to Clusia and the
application for airspace control for you.”

“My private plane?” Oliver was stunned!
“Don’t worry!” Fermin said with a smile, “Oliver, I checked your assets and found that, not including the shares of my family fund
that I transferred to you, your previous personal wealth was around 2 billion Oros. It’s a bit of a struggle for you to keep the
plane, but with your ability to make money, I’m sure you can do it, and with the family shares I’ve transferred to you, you’re
getting dividends of more than 100 billion Oros a year, so you can even afford ten Airbus 380s, let alone one.”
Oliver wondered, “So I don’t have to worry about making money anymore?”
Oliver stared at Fermin. After becoming an ordinary man, Fermin now looked like a middle-aged man in his early thirties and
seemed to be in good spirits.

Fermin added, “You don’t have to overthink, Oliver. My family feels very lucky that we gave you a few shares in exchange for a
chance to live. No amount of money can prolong our lives. So, you you too much, and we even think we gave you too little!”
Seeing this, Oliver shook his head with a bitter smile and said after thinking for a while, “Thank you, sir!”

Oliver thought, “In that case, I’ll take it, because with all my money, it makes sense to own a private plane, doesn’t it?”
