"Just take me directly to see Mr. Madison," Allen Zhang suppressed his anger, nodded, and got into the bulletproof car. After all, they were surrounded by people, and it wasn’t convenient to start a commotion.
Sitting in the back seat with Gwen, she confided her yearning feelings and even expressed her desire to switch sides. The General Sect Leader responded with a nonchalant smile, "If Mr. Madison agrees, I can certainly let you work for me."
Gwen was overjoyed. She promptly tied up her hair and buried her head.
Sss... are you in such a hurry?
The driver, with an unblinking focus, drove the car towards the mansion district, acting as if nothing had happened and sensibly taking a drive around the exterior.
The island’s daytime scenery was still quite nice, without other relevant personnel, and much quieter.
A journey of a mere ten minutes was stretched to half an hour. The driver stopped the car outside the villa, and both Allen Zhang and Gwen got out. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel✦fire.net
Several security personnel were standing guard near the villa. Looking at the empty swimming pool, the General Sect Leader felt a bit uncomfortable, lacking the usual sight of lightly-dressed blondes and models.
Walking with his assistant Gwen into the hallway, they immediately saw several personal doctors examining Mr. Madison’s health, and Allen greeted them as they passed by.
"Mr. Jin, you’re here. Wait for me a moment, I’ll be done soon." Upon seeing the General Sect Leader’s arrival, Mr. Madison raised his hand to greet and instructed his assistant to prepare a cup of coffee.
Allen Zhang sat patiently nearby, waiting until the doctors completed the full examination and administered an anti-aging shot. After confirming there were no health issues, they removed the tubes from his body and left with their sophisticated medical equipment.
Madison sat up, cursing and muttering to himself. A female assistant handed him a cup of water, and he grimaced as he downed a couple of Pain Relievers.
"As you get older, you really can’t resist aging. They say if I continue to indulge and stay up late like I did last night, I might not live to see 90."
Madison chuckled and self-deprecatingly added, "After I die, probably the happiest would be my children and wives since they could then squander my estate without restraint."
"But you don’t plan on leaving the assets to your family, right? Not even a single cent?" Allen Zhang smiled.
Madison hesitated for a moment and sighed, "If I really didn’t leave them anything, they’d probably try to kill me and then tamper with the will, right?"
It was somewhat melancholic to contemplate the downfall of Priyan Foundation and the heartless betrayal by his children. It also changed some of his thoughts.
After speaking, he took out a stack of documents and placed them on the table for the General Sect Leader to examine.
"Take a look, these are the assets under Priyan’s name, and now they belong to us. If there is anything you fancy, feel free to pick." Mr. Madison said, "I will also consider distributing other things to friends."
Allen Zhang nodded, took the documents, and glanced through them.
An aerial view of a private island that seemed no smaller than Madison’s, perhaps even larger; aside from the luxury villas, it included extensive military constructions, an observation tower, helipad, fort, factory buildings, with a level of professionalism that seemed much more formidable than Madison’s private island.
He flipped through other assets: real estate and shop fronts in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Miami, New York, Washington; countless villas in the Rich District, yachts, and luxury cars, as well as several professional investment corporations and Foundations.
However, those associated with business were presumably withdrawn from funding and were not allowed to be partaken by Madison after taking control.
Many of the jewels and collectibles had been crossed out as well.
Madison explained, "Although Priyan spent a lot of money recruiting a large workforce, including desperadoes, it was only money for hire, a relationship of interests. Once they knew he had fallen, the first to loot his assets were those guys. Many good things on Priyan’s island have been destroyed or plundered, damn it, those should have been our spoils of war! I have already contacted the authorities to issue warrants for their arrest, they can’t escape!"
"Is there something on here that caught your eye? If not, I can also consider giving you a sum of cash, I absolutely won’t let you suffer a loss," Mr. Madison said.
"This private island seems quite nice, I’ll take it," Allen Zhang did not mince words; after reviewing all the assets, he decisively chose to take ownership of the private island.
After all, he had long wanted to secure a private island but had never found a suitable opportunity.
Madison was not surprised by this and laughed, "Priyan’s island was an expensive acquisition, initially valued at only 90 million US Dollars, and now it’s worth at least close to 300 million US Dollars! He also invested a lot of money in the development of the island: luxury villas, museums, zoo areas, solar power generation, seawater filtration. There’s water and electricity on the island, plus plenty of existing defense facilities, like a modern war fortress, no one wants to mess with it. His bad luck this time, not staying in his shell to host a shady party but rather coming ashore! Gave us the opportunity!"
Allen Zhang also smiled, "His luck is indeed terrible, to have provoked you."
