Chapter 21 - Donation

Eleanor looked at her wristwatch; there were still a few minutes left before her meeting. Deciding to use the time wisely, she turned to Emmanuel, curious about his role at the school and his decision to work as a guard despite his high standing.

"Why are you working as a guard here instead of managing your clan business?" she asked.

Emmanuel smiled warmly. "I was in the police service for a long time. When I turned 50 in human records, I decided to retire early and join this school. You might not know, but this school was actually established by our family. Our younger generation studies here and learns how to blend with humans from an early age."

"Some of our fighters work as guards to protect the children from any potential harm. As for me, I joined to stay close to my granddaughter. She's very attached to me and refused to attend school without me. So, I decided to retire from the police force and take the role of guard captain here. Everybody knows the story by now."

Eleanor smiled. "You must really love your granddaughter."

"She's my treasure," Emmanuel replied proudly. "She'll be six next month."

"That's wonderful," Eleanor said before pausing. "By the way, is it possible to enroll my daughter directly, outside the usual admission window? Sorry to ask so suddenly."

Emmanuel chuckled. "It's okay. Since the admission window is closed, the only way to enroll her now is through a donation. But this school doesn't accept money as donations. You need to contribute something significant to the school's development. Of course, my father could make a call to the headmistress if you want, and everything would be taken care of."

Eleanor thought for a moment, then said, "Your surveillance system is outdated. Before I arrived here, I hacked into it to observe the school. If you're interested, I can provide one of the world's best surveillance systems for free. You can search my company, Heimdall Technologies, to know more."

"Heimdall is your company?" Emmanuel looked stunned. "No wonder I've been hearing about it for the past two days. You know, a lot of wealthy families have children studying here, and they gossip about all kinds of things. The news about Heimdall taking over the regional business sector is the latest hot topic. Most importantly, nobody knows who the boss of Heimdall is."

He paused for a moment, then said, "We can talk more later. Your meeting time is near."

Turning on his radio, Emmanuel spoke, "Mili, come to the main gate. I have a guest who needs to be escorted to the headmistress's office."
