Chapter 315: Chapter 169: Making a Fortune_4
Yan Fei was somewhat puzzled in his heart, not knowing why Old Man Gu would focus on Misty Island. Could it be that the point was just a random spot Gu had picked, and not for him to develop anything there? Based on the intelligence he had gotten so far, Misty Island was simply worthless and showed no potential for development.
At that thought, Yan Fei, who had been performing, suddenly looked genuinely dispirited, his expression turning somewhat melancholy. He silently packed away the island purchase legal documents, pushed through the crowd of journalists, got into the car that had come to pick him up, and left the airport.
The Japan journalists did not know Yan Fei’s true thoughts and assumed that he was feeling down because he had purchased a worthless island. Therefore, they immediately sent this news back to Japan and broadcasted it on television and internet media as entertainment news, aiming to increase ratings. Meanwhile, the news that Yan Fei accepted a challenge from a South Korean Taekwondo master, with a battle stake of six billion US Dollars, was actually placed after what they deemed a laughable news story.
In the car, Yan Fei’s eyes were unfocused as he absentmindedly looked over the Taekwondo challenge letter, staying silent the whole time. Lu Pingping thought Yan Fei was worried about the challenge and couldn’t help but speak up to comfort him, “Fei, this challenge letter has no legal force. If you don’t want to participate, we can just tear it up. You’re a well-known success, even if you break the agreement and don’t fight, no one will laugh at you.”
Yan Fei already knew the specifics of Kim Hye-myeong and was confident in his invincibility, naturally having no worries about the challenge, let alone considering withdrawing from it. His recent disappointment was purely because he couldn’t figure out the use of Misty Island. However, he soon realized that Old Man Gu had proven his predictive ability several times, so the point he marked on the map was definitely not random and must hold a special meaning. Now that he had acquired the island, Yan Fei just needed to wait for the right moment to arrive, and he would naturally know what to do.
Then, Yan Fei started to ponder another matter. He had found the Assassin Sect’s financial ledger in the Scripture Depository of the Assassin Sect Headquarters. The ledger detailed the Assassin Sect’s financial income and expenses during this period.
In just a few months since the Assassin Sect reemerged in the world, they had kidnapped family members of more than a dozen famous tycoons and political figures, succeeding in extorting a whopping one hundred and twenty billion US Dollars. Apart from a portion used as the Assassin Sect’s operating funds, the remaining hundred and fifteen billion dollars were all deposited into secret accounts at a Swiss Bank.
The secret Swiss bank account numbers and withdrawal passwords were all recorded in the ledger. These secret accounts used passwords for transfer payments, so when Yan Fei obtained the account and password and connected to the Network World, he immediately transferred the entire one hundred and fifteen billion dollars from the secret account into his own secret account, thus making a huge fortune.
It was precisely because of the colossal funds in this secret account that Yan Fei had the confidence to engage in a high-stakes fight with a Taekwondo master, with a total amount of six billion US Dollars at risk. However, since this money was dirty money and could not be exposed, Yan Fei had always been careful not to use it.
