Chapter 599: Chapter 278: Return to the Private Island_3
Soon, the female assistant came back and introduced the General Sect Leader to Madison. He quickly noticed Allen Zhang and greeted him warmly, “Mr. Jin, hello, welcome to my fireworks party. I’m sorry I couldn’t come to receive you. As you can see, this old man is barely managing with one foot in the grave. I’ll probably be in bed on an IV tonight and won’t be able to join the activities. But don’t worry too much, I’m tough to kill. I won’t die anytime soon because I haven’t spent all my money yet! Hahaha!”
Allen Zhang also felt that his counterpart indeed had a hard life; living to a hundred shouldn’t be a problem, probably thanks to long-term purchases of health products from pharmaceutical companies and underground channels—stuff like placenta, Adrenaline Red, Elixir of Life, all of which were somewhat shady.
“Don’t be reserved here, let loose, make sure to eat well and have fun. Gwen will take good care of you for me!” Madison said with a laugh.
It was then that Allen Zhang learned that the female assistant’s name was Gwen, but what she was called wasn’t important, since he was just attending the party in a playful mindset, and he wouldn’t remember afterward.
He immediately responded with a smile, “I think this party is pretty good, I think I’ll fit right in with the atmosphere here.”
“That’s the spirit. That’s the first step to becoming wealthy! Life is for enjoyment! Live without regrets!” Madison laughed heartily, and then briefly introduced him to Colonel Wood and a director from Blue Pharmaceutical, also succinctly explaining the identity of the General Sect Leader. Only then did everyone realize that the General Sect Leader was such a low-profile billionaire!
Many people immediately approached, introducing themselves enthusiastically.
Melissa also handed out her business card, smilingly inviting the General Sect Leader to visit her business when he had time, and introduced him to the two actresses beside her.
The General Sect Leader also felt the attention from all directions and responded with an unflinching smile.
“Alright, I know you all want to get to know Mr. Jin and discuss business, but our party isn’t just these few minutes, we have all night! I have some private matters to discuss with Mr. Jin, so you might have to wait a little while.”
With that said, Madison led Allen Zhang into a neighboring private room, closed the door, which was very soundproof, instantly cutting off any noisy sounds.
He invited him to sit on a sofa, and the female assistant served them two glasses of red wine.
“Romanee Conti, 1945. This is a fine wine I only bring out for esteemed guests,” Madison said cheerfully, offering Allen Zhang a cigar which he politely declined, and then proceeded to smoke it himself with help from the assistant to light it.
“Tastes good,” Allen Zhang commented after tasting the wine, nodding his head.
Truly, a bottle of vintage wine priced at One Hundred Thousand Dollars, although he couldn’t really taste what was so good about it.
“Mr. Jin, Gwen told me this isn’t your first visit to my island?” Madison inquired.
Allen Zhang glanced at Gwen, unsure when she had reported this information.
He nodded and candidly admitted, “Indeed, back then I didn’t have much money. Through a friend, I met Mr. Wenke’s housekeeper and was invited as security personnel for Mr. Wenke. I’ve been to the island before, even guided Mr. Madison and Mr. Wenke around your collection and zoo.”
Back then on the island, he felt as insignificant as an ant.
Now, he had transformed and could converse as equals.
“Hahaha, that’s quite a story!” Madison laughed heartily, finding it amusing.
“But I heard that Mr. Wenke, that old fellow, was hospitalized again recently, needing a heart bypass. It seems he’s in a dire situation, having to spend his latter life on a hospital bed. Luckily, he isn’t short of money. I wonder if his housekeeper is taking good care of him, though I introduced some health products to him, he probably hasn’t used them,” Madison said.
“I haven’t kept up with his condition,” Allen Zhang shook his head.
They exchanged a few more words, and Madison gestured to the side, signaling his assistant to bring out his collection. He pulled out a box with black matte finish and placed it on the table.
After unlocking the combination lock, he lifted the yellow silk brocade inside, revealing twelve Horn Coins, and said with a smile, “Mr. Jin, take a look at my collection. These are all rare Spanish silver coins from the time of the Pirate King, purchased from all over the world at great expense!”
