After that, they just spent some time together and it was already time for dinner, when they were eating at the dining table, Valmiki told Bantu "You are lucky to meet someone like Raj, he called me today and told me that you are working well at your job and that he thinks highly of you, don't disappoint him". Bantu finally understood what had happened, apparently Raj called Bantu's father and talked some sense into him and praised him up a little to help Bantu, he just nodded and said nothing to his father, they usually don't talk much in the first place

At this time, Bantu's sister also heard this and said "Who is this Raj and why should my brother care about him?". Valmiki cursed himself and thought 'because he is your real brother' but on the surface he still said, "Raj is the only sole heir to the ARK group and the company I work at, also the reason we could all grow up and get by till now", Bantu's sister just nodded and said "I see, well it doesn't matter, I bet my brother is better than him!", Bantu just laughed at her and said "ok ok you eat your food first"

Valmiki then thought about something and said almost talking to himself "I still have 1 lakh Fixed Deposit in my account that's going to mature soon, get yourself a bike or something to travel to work". He only said this because Raj had told him to treat Bantu well and to make sure Bantu knows subtly that it was because of Raj. Bantu was really surprised and then said with a smile "Sister, you're already getting a vehicle while going to college?". Valmiki looked at him as if looking at an idiot and said "Why would she need a bike? I'm talking about you"

Bantu now was stunned, to think a day like this would come, to think a day his father would actually offer to buy him something that's not been handed down by others? 'It's all because of Raj, only after my dad met him did he become strange like this'. He was curious what Raj would have told his father to set him straight, he would ask later. Bantu nodded at Valmiki, he couldn't help it he needed a means of transport as he couldn't take public bus to office everyday as it was really stressful. With that they just talked about random things and spent time. Everyone in Bantu's family were a little stunned about Valmiki's change but it was good anyway so no one told anything

Meanwhile on Raj's side, he had already gone home and to his surprise, his parents were home. Apparently they had enough time and fun and started to miss home so they came back early, so for the rest of the day, they talked about their trip and all the places they went to and saw the pictures they took together with the family. Raj teased them whenever Ramachandra, his father had some romantic photo of them together, his father would just act tough and say "so what, you brat you're too much now". They all laughed and Raj's grandfather looked at the scene and thought to himself 'it's all thanks to my grandson that we can all enjoy our time so well and finally without holding anything back, who cares about wealth when you have such happiness around you' he smiled happily at the scene, Ramachandra also met his gaze at the time and they looked at each other as if thinking of the same thing and nodded at each other, smiling

The next day Raj went to his office at the investment securities branch, he just named it "ARK capitals", a simple name. As he walked in, he directly walked into the conference room, where he was going to hold his weekly meeting to see what the situation is. Everyone stood up and greeted Raj with respect and sat down, Raj also sat at the head of the table and asked, "ok everyone, it's been 2 weeks and we've been investing aggressively, with 10x margins on futures and as much loans as we can procure from other places, now tell me the results of our gamble". What he said was true, after Raj got to know that this was a world with many movie universes mixed together, and that the starting plots of the other movies were about to start one after the other, he had to move faster and take bigger risks to make as much money as possible, so he went all out and went crazy, if his father and grandfather knows the deeds and the things he's put as collateral for the loans, they would vomit blood

Thankfully he has assurance that they won't snoop in on his affairs and his work for at least 3 months. At this time, Dheeraj came forward and took out his report to explain "Sir, following your direction, we have invested heavily in new types of investment like Bitcoin, NFT and the blockchain and seen tremendous returns, apart from that we have invested in Adani group and Tesla company overseas, GameStop company and many more and seen outstanding returns". Raj just waved at him and said "ok, tell me the exact figures", Dheeraj took a deep breath and said "sir, so far with all the loans and margins included, we have invested about 700 million dollars, this includes keeping the company shares as collateral for the bank loans". Everyone in the room knew that Raj had taken such a drastic step beforehand but still took a deep breath when they got the final figure again

Raj also nodded, Dheeraj continued "after the investment, our current portfolio currently sits at 1.5 Billion dollars sir, after the interest on the loans and all expenses, we have a profit of around 500 million dollars sir". Even Dheeraj who read the report beforehand couldn't help but sigh at such a big amount in pure profits, the key factor is that it's just been 2 weeks! Raj also nodded with a smile, he wasn't excited about the money but rather more calm. The working capital of the company is around 1.2 billion dollars now as he didn't have to pay back all the loan right away
