Chapter 1 The Larson Legacy
Lucien Larson was born into a family of business moguls. His father, Gregory Larson, owned a successful chain of logistics companies, while his mother, Eleanor, was an esteemed financial analyst. From a young age, Lucien was groomed for success. He was expected to follow in his father's footsteps and carry on the family's legacy. But deep inside, Lucien felt a disconnect-he longed for something different, something more than just living in the shadow of expectations.
Gregory Larson had built his empire from the ground up. His father before him was a humble merchant who managed a small supply chain, but Gregory turned it into a national powerhouse. This legacy created immense pressure on Lucien, the only son, to maintain and expand the family's success. Despite his privilege, Lucien's childhood was marked by discipline, strict schedules, and an unspoken rule that emotions should be controlled, not expressed.
Lucien's mother, Eleanor, provided a different kind of influence. As a financial analyst, she saw numbers as a universal language, and she taught Lucien how to see patterns in markets and trends from an early age. However, while she was more emotionally supportive than Gregory, she never explicitly encouraged Lucien to carve his own path. Instead, she subtly reinforced the idea that logic and calculated risks were the foundation of a successful life.
Lucien's childhood was devoid of reckless adventure. While other children explored the world with curiosity, Lucien was placed in structured programs-elite tutoring, leadership camps, and corporate mentorships. By the time he was fifteen, he had memorized company reports, profit margins, and economic forecasts, but he had never experienced an unscripted moment of true freedom.
As he approached his final years of secondary school, he began to question the life set before him. There were moments, brief and fleeting, where he would daydream about what life would be like beyond boardrooms and financial reports. His secret passion was technology-not the business of tech, but the mechanics, the inner workings of machines. Late at night, when his father was away on business trips, Lucien would tinker with old gadgets, disassembling them to understand how they functioned. He dreamed of building something of his own, something that wasn't dictated by profit margins but by innovation.
