"Welcome, monsieur Brennan," he says, his French accent sharp as ever. "Gus's estate is now yours, as are its many... intricacies. I hope you can handle all this and respect the traditions."

I don't miss the hint of doubt in his voice. I try not to look too overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of

this place.

"This... is Gus's home?" I ask, glancing back at the massive structure behind us. "Fuck, it's mental

"Indeed," Hugo replies. "One of several, but this is the crown jewel. A gift from a royal family here in Belgium, many years ago. It has been updated over the years, of course, to meet more modern standards. But the history is rich. And the connections it holds... priceless." "Royal family?"

"Yes. Belgium has a proud royal history, as do many European countries and each of them are carefully kept as allies. We never want to upset or offend any of our connections."

"Here is a list of the gifts just in this last year alone." He hands me a print-out. "You must confer with your advisors before interacting with any of them. And do not accept or refuse any gift without discussing it with me and Sofia."

"I doubt I can fart without clearing it first."

He remains poker-faced. "PR is everything for Nexus Global and you'll find Sofia takes it very seriously She's the best in the world, that's why we employ her."

I read down the list. Royalty, diplomats, oil magnates... these are the people Gus rubbed shoulders with. And now, so will I. Temporarily anyway. Racehorses, diamonds, land, antiques, vehicles. This list is crazy.

"Come, I'll show you around," Hugo says, leading the way inside. Viktor follows behind us.

"There are twenty bedrooms, most with ensuites. There are East and West wings for extended family or VIPs." He hands me another print-out. "This is the floorplan and the grounds. You can explore more at your leisure. You'll find the cellar list and the precious jewelry and gems housed in the vault. Also, a list of the antiques and artwork."

Inside, it's more of the same uber-luxury-marble floors that stretch as far as the eye can see, chandeliers hanging from ceilings that must be fifty feet high.

I'm actually speechless.
