Six billion was an astronomical figure. Would any enterprise be able to afford it? Even Art Trading Corporation, the tyrant of Celandine City, could barely afford it.The number made everyone’s face turn pale in shock.It was putting oneself at risk.They did not understand why Thomas would do that. After all, this industrial wasteland did not have any development value. It could not be used for planting or building construction. If he bought the land, it would be useless.Did he need to spend $6,000,000,000 to buy it?The host was also shocked. “Mr. Mayo, are you sure you want to place a bid of $6,000,000,000 for the industrial wasteland?” he asked in a trembling voice.Thomas did not back down in fear.He gently nodded. “I’m sure.”Phew!The host breathed a long sigh before he raised his microphone and said, “Six billion dollars from Mr. Mayo for the land. May I know if anyone wants to raise the price again?”He was saying that to Dragon Head, not the others.The host had
Dragon Head left the site arrogantly. He was victorious in this battle, as he had framed Thomas.The people around also cast different gazes at Thomas.Some mocked him, some pitied him, while others were indifferent.In this huge gamble, Thomas had lost completely.Was that really the case?Forty minutes later, Thomas returned to Food and Medicine Hall. He silently walked to an empty table and sat down. Pisces had been by Thomas’ side, but he dared not say a word.They had lost terribly this time.It was $6,000,000,000!They had bought useless land with no value at all, falling into Dragon Head’s trap.Most importantly, if they encountered the same situation again, what should they do? Should they still stop Dragon Head?If Dragon Head attempted to do more bad things, should Thomas still put in the effort to stop him?If Thomas did not stop Dragon Head, would he not become overconfident?However, if Thomas stopped him, it was likely that Thomas would encounter a situation l
Disney was the dominating company in the world. It contributed to every industry, including the film industry, IP development, and resorts. Its theme parks were even welcomed by people around the world!Disney only owned a few theme parks in the whole country, and there were none in Celandine City.Unexpectedly, Thomas had managed to ask the person, who was in charge of Disney in their country, out for a meal.Pisces knew how important this meal was.If the wasteland could be developed into Disneyland, they would not have spent the $6,000,000,000 in vain. Instead, they would be earning a lot!Not only Thomas would profit, but Celandine City would too.It would become a signature of Celandine City. After all, only a few cities in the country had a Disneyland park, so this was a top project.It was an impressive endeavor.Was such an enormous project going to be discussed in such a small restaurant?If Pisces had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have dared to believe
In House of Vistaria’s lobby, Dragon Head held a glass of red wine. He looked at the redness of the wine as he drank it. That was his favorite color.Lord Vedastus, who was sitting at the side, felt extremely happy too.After such a long time, they finally managed to set Thomas up. It gave him great joy!After all, ever since Thomas came to Celandine City, Lord Vedastus had basically been passively attacked. Whenever he tried to fight Thomas, Thomas would ruthlessly teach him a lesson.This time, he had finally avenged himself.They had made Thomas lose $6,000,000,000 in one sitting. Losing such a great amount of money was not a piece of cake. Even Thomas would not be able to handle it.Lord Vedastus smiled and said, “No wonder people say that you’re Luck’s most trusted subordinate and the strongest member in the organization, Dragon Head. I used to doubt it, but I really believed it this time.“You did what Dragon Scale and Dragon Claw couldn’t do. Besides, I admire you because
All of a sudden, the two people sitting there were stunned.The two of them had been eating away happily just now, but at the moment, they froze up like two statues. Even their eyes had stopped moving.No way. How was this possible?Dragon Head had spent a lot of effort tricking Thomas.But it turned out that this trick had only benefitted Thomas.Why did it seem like he was the one who had gotten tricked?Suddenly, Dragon Head felt that the red wine he drank was tasteless. It was just like horse urine.“This is impossible!”Dragon Head threw away the red wine glass. He stared at the video played on the iPad and watched it seriously. Lord Vedastus also came over, and the two of them watched the content of the video together.In the video, Thomas held a press release. Besides Thomas, there were two bigwigs attending the press release.One was Summer Land’s Disney manager, and the other was the district chief, Eric Wood.Thomas was the host of the press release.The key infor
Thomas used Disney to complete the shocking reversal. He turned a worthless land into treasure, and this news soon spread in Celandine City.All of a sudden, many people came to seek cooperation.Who did not want to get involved in such an enormous project? It could be said that before the project officially started, Thomas had already got back twenty or thirty percent of the capital from these business partners.On this day, Thomas was negotiating with a food franchisee. The other party wanted to build a special store in the food street near Disneyland. Thomas basically agreed, but the price was still up for discussion.While the two were negotiating the price, Pisces suddenly rushed in and said, while out of breath, “Commander, something bad happened. There’s an accident on the engineering side!”“Huh?”Thomas frowned. An accident had already happened before this big Disney project had officially started to progress.What the hell was going on?He asked, “What happened?”Pis
He just needed to spend money to settle this matter.Those who made trouble just wanted money, so he could just give them money to send them away.As for the family of the deceased, the problem might be solved if the compensation was enough.The matter of the engineering team was a little troublesome since they had accidentally beat someone to death. If they were really convicted, he could not do anything either. This job might need to be handed over to other engineering teams.If this was really just an accident, it was simply a matter of lost money and time.At most, they would have to go over some arguments.He was afraid that this was not an accident but a crime purposely orchestrated by someone.Was that person beaten to death by accident?If it was not an accident, then it was a crime that was planned by someone from the beginning. They had deliberately provoked and lured the engineering team into beating them. Then, the person “died”, and the engineering team was blamed
Thomas had guessed it right this time. It was indeed trouble given by Dragon Head.In the House of Vistaria, Dragon Head watched the news broadcast on TV, and he could not stop smiling. In his opinion, the plan to deal with Thomas this time was simple and effective.Sometimes, the simpler the method, the more effective it is.The simple act of framing could defeat Thomas easily.Bamboo Pole smiled and stood in front of Dragon Head. He said, “Boss, do you think I have done things properly this time?”“Yes, very well!” Dragon Head gave a thumbs up. “You did a good job this time.”Bamboo Pole then said, “Boss, thank you for your compliment. Besides, the family of the deceased still needs some money…”He did not finish his sentence.Dragon Head was in a good mood and said, “Don’t worry, you can let the family members of the deceased make trouble and tell them that no matter how much money Thomas gives them, I can give them double! Just let them keep making trouble and don’t let the
