"Don't worry, I'll contact the police immediately. We'll go together with them, and I'll bring all the necessary documents. No me will oubt us with both of us there." fiorian said. He genuinely admired Felix.
As the manager of Concord Bank's branch in Gray City, Dorian had met more wealthy people than he could count. Most of them put on a polished act in public but often had less-than noble motives behind closed doors. Evercharity was usually just a way to reduce taxes or boost their public image.
However, Felix was different. He didn't have to do this-especially for a small orphanage with no potential for fame. Yet here he was, determined to donate regardless
Even if Felix was not of his current status, Dorian would have gladly offered his help.
When they returned to the orphanage, the director was utterly stunned. The old man began apologizing profusely.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Zeller! I was narrow-minded for distrusting your kindness. Please forgive me!"
Felix quickly stopped him.
"Please, there's no need to apologize. After what you've been through, your caution is completely justified. I understand you're just looking out for these children and your staff."
The director was moved to tears. The orphanage had been struggling financially, and Felix's donation of ten million dollars would relieve their burdens for a long time.
Moments ago, they had unceremoniously turned him away, and now he had returned with the bank manager and police to personally verify the donation. How could they possibly doubt the money's legitimacy?
"Thank you! Thank you so much! Could we take a photo together?"
Felix smiled. "That won't be necessary. Just using the money wisely is the best way to
thank me."

up with joy, and they immediately warmed up to Felix. When the group photo was taken, their smiles were pure and genuine.
With this task from Dahlia complete, Felix felt a weight lifted from his shoulders. It would have been hard to accept her continued help without first resolving this.
"Mr. Yardley, I really appreciate your assistance today," Felix said, extending his hand.
Dorian was flattered and a bit overwhelmed. "Mr. Zeller, please, there's no need to thank me. It was no trouble at all."
Felix pulled out his phone. "Let's exchange numbers.

Dorian had proven to be sharp and resourceful, and Felix also had a friend, Clement, who was currently dealing with some banking issues. Having Dorian as a contact might prove mutually beneficial in the future. When Felix asked for his number, Dorian was almost brought to tears. It was as if he could already see a promotion to a top position in Dragonia in his future.
After parting ways with Dorian, Felix was about to hail a cab to a car dealership when the security guard from the orphanage called out to him.
""Young man!"
Even when addressing a security guard, Felix maintained a respectful demeanor. "Sir, is there something I can help you with?"
The guard took a closer look at Felix, and his gaze suddenly carried a different weight." You're quite remarkable. I'd like to offer you a chance to enhance your already bright future. Are you interested?"
