Oh Mr General! - Chapter 220

Four years later…

In the ever bustling Country Z, located in the heart of the city, was a tall skyscr.a.p.er that tower over all other buildings in the area. Its highest floor was 180. The building was home to many of the most powerful conglomerates in the world. The richer a company was, the higher the floor they would purchase, or more so, the greater the number of floors they would purchase. This building was named The Peak and till this day, even after ten years of establishment, it was still the tallest building in the world. The Peak was 999 meters tall and many of the floors were able to see views beyond the clouds.

In the 180th floor in The Peak, a young man was busying himself with something. He wore glasses that reflected the digital image in front of him. The man was currently in the midst of drawing on a giant tablet with a holographic image in front of him. He would occasionally look up and fidget around with the interactive holographic model. The level of technology in the room would surely shock top engineers around the world. After all, such progressive softwares and hardwares that were able to project a movable image were still in testing phase. However, the young man was able to put it to good use and experiment with it for himself.

Taking a break, the young man untied his rubber band from his stylistic long hair. He reached out for his phone and called a person labelled ‘My Love’. Anyone could tell that whomever he was calling meant the world to him. Three rings and the video call went through.

“Hey hot stuff, how is your work?” The young man with long hair spoke flirtatiously with the man in the video. The person in the video had neat short hair. Coupled with his devilishly handsome facial features, the m.a.t.u.r.e looking man was a lady and man killer.

“Its has been stressful, my love. How about you?” The handsome man reciprocated with his own nickname for his lover.

“I think the deployment factor that I had been muddling my head on for the past week had finally been solved. With this, I should be able to send my first prototype into space.”

“Really? That’s wonderful!”

“Right?” The young man grinned, making his small eyes even smaller. “Can I come over and share it with Professor Thomas and ask for his insights on my prototype?”

“Yeah, just drive down. I’ll get Siara to pick you up from the carpark.”

“Sure! See you soon, babe.” With that, the couple ended their call.

The young man who wore glasses was Sato Takahashi. Now, age 25, Sato was very close to reaching the goal he had set for himself four years ago. At age 21, he had completed his double degree early by one year and applied for early graduation. After his trip in Country Y, the couple went back to Country Z and got busy with their lives. Sato allocated all of his time to completing his degrees. Everyday, he would study eat and sleep, never leaving the house for anything. With his high IQ and impeccable memory, the knowledge continued to add up and the young man never faltered. He had cramped two and a half years of studies into one which was unprecedented in this day and age. Such news would’ve usually garnered world-wide attention, but it was kept under wraps by the orders of Sato and the Tobion family. As so, the name of Sato gradually disappeared from university. Rather than continuing on with his studies, the young man felt that it would be more worth while for him to just begin on his project. After all, there was not much time for the boy to become a relevant asset.

Though such a term may be crude, Sato truly wanted to be able to contribute to the Tobion family, who had given him everything in this life. If it weren’t for them, he would not be here today, literally. News from the infiltrated spies suggested that the eldest young miss from the Lee Family was seeing the eldest young master from the Tabola Family. Although they were not together, there were talks that they had settled on a wedding date three to four years from then. And as expected, when Sato, age 24, was in the midst of creating his prototype, the news regarding the marriage of the two most powerful families, had been shared to the world. Their marriage would be held in on 6th of June and the wedding would be broadcasted from Country A to the whole world. Such an event was a must watch for many people around the world and it was truly an eye opening sight. The wedding venue was spectacular, coupled with the many intricacies and dazzling performances, the wedding between the two families was said to be the greatest wedding of all time.

That day, Sato and Gray had watched it in bed and were talking about a wedding themselves too.

“Would you like a wedding like theirs?” Gray asked with a curious expression.

“Hell no!” Sato declined in a heartbeat.

“Hahaha, what’s wrong?”

“Do you like it when billions of people watch you kiss each other? Doesn’t that feel extremely creepy? I would feel like an animal in an exhibit.” Sato irked when he thought about it.

“Then how about a wedding as big as theirs, but without the publicity?”

“No, no, no. I would like it to be a simple and beautiful wedding that didn’t have the elephants or or thousands of guests. Also, I know you very well, my love. Even you wouldn’t want something as big as theirs.” Sato sniggered.

“Indeed, you know me best.” Gray smiled adoringly at his boyfriend. He then popped a question that he had been eager to know the answer to. “Then when would you like to get married?”

“Well..” Sato gave it some thought and did not say an answer immediately. After a good five seconds, he replied, “It really depends on you, I guess. I would like my future husband to propose to me when he feels like it is the right time.”

“How about now?” Gray was serious about it.
