Taken
Opening his eyes wide, Neil was surprised as Klaus gave his answer. The white-bearded man was about to laugh, thinking Klaus was cracking a joke, but Neil undid it as he saw the seriousness of Klaus.
In the fifty years he had lived in this world, Neil had never seen such a sharp, deep look in a young man's eyes. In fact, Klaus' eyes were deeper than any person he had ever met.
For some reason, it was like Neil talked to an old man with much experience.
"Ruling the whole world, huh? That's a word I usually hear from drunks. But it's strange. I feel like what you're saying is serious." Neil squinted.
"I'm serious," Klaus replied. "LR Enterprise is not my final goal. It's just a stepping stone."
"How old are you? 22? 23? 25? You look so young."
"18."
Naturally, Neil was taken aback. He then laughed loudly in front of him. Not a mocking laugh or a silly laugh. It was a laugh of surprise.
