Chapter 318
Nash and his group stood at the entrance exchanging glances with each other. Melody sighed and said, âYour branch family owns an ancient painting by a famous Light Dynasty artist!â
If the Young family had not transferred all that silver and if the tragedy had not befallen them, they would undoubtedly have complete control over Universal Group now. Of note, the company now had an annual revenue profit of approximately 450 billion Moliga dollars with a net profit of around 18 billion. When converted to Drakonia dollars, it was about 126 billion dollars.
The statistics indicated that the combined annual profit of the top ten families in Capiton was only around 60 billion Drakonia dollars. If the Young family were still around, they would have easily rivaled the top 20 families of Capiton.
Nash sighed. âThe Young family got rich and prospered by robbing graves. Evil deeds will eventually result in retribution.â
After a moment, the four of them entered the auction hall. The venue had seating on all sides and could accommodate a thousand people. Above the central auction podium were four huge electronic screens displaying the countdown to the start of the auction.
There were 12 minutes left.
In a dark basement in Capiton, K had already gotten in contact with the Smiling Grim Reaper but felt that something was not right.
The phone rang, and it was from H.
âHave you contacted him?â
It was the seductive woman from Universal Groupâs headquarters.
âNot yet.â
â
Sweat drenched Kâs forehead, while his expression sunk to rock bottom. âI might have gotten dupedâ¦â
âYou should speak with more confidence. You were definitely duped, you idiot!â
âW-What do we do?â
âYou listen here, get your Kamikazes ready and send them out!
âItâs the only way now,â K gritted through his teeth.
After ending the call, K slammed his hand on the office desk, causing the entire table to collapse. âDamn it! That motherfucker!â
Kâs face contorted in anger, his eyes bloodshot. After some time passed, he finally called the clan leader.
âThe Kamikazes?â
The clan leader sounded alarmed. He hesitated before continuing, âThe Special Security Institution is keeping an eye on us. It might not be a good idea for us to send them out now.â
âSir, you
know Fabian. If he continues to grow within Universal Group, he might seek revenge for the Young family!â
âLet me check with the Klein family and the Jackson family first.â
With that, the clan leader ended the call.
The patriarchs of the Klein and Jackson families were enjoying tea and playing chess in the compounds of the Jackson family.
âOld Klein, who do you think will get the painting?â the Jacksonsâ patriarch asked with a smile while stroking his white beard.
âIâm certain itâll be mine!â the Kleinsâ patriarch replied confidently.
âHow much are you prepared to pay?â
âTen billion!â came the other manâs response as he looked at him. âOur three families currently have one piece of the map each. There are still five pieces missing. We canât afford to miss anything from the Young familyâs stash.â
âIsnât the price a bit too steep? We canât even be certain if Dream City really exists!â the Jacksonsâ patriarch sighed slowly.
âThereâs no way itâs not real. Otherwise, the Young familyâs silver w-â
âGrandfather, Old Jim started a video meeting!â
Lana descended from the second floor holding a laptop while dressed in a white dress.
Simultaneously, a teenage boy about 15 or 16 years old from the Klein family also came approaching them with a laptop in hand. âGrandfather, someone is calling you for a video meeting.â
Both of them entered the video chat.
âOld Klein, Old Jackson. Can we talk privately?â
Half an hour later, each of the three families dispatched ten Kamikazes. They were 25 great- grandmasters from stages eight to nine and five Profound Reality Realm experts.
