Capítulo 877: Chapter 378: Money Power Failure
Allen Zhang browsed through so other related news and then put away his phone. Just as Bailey finished his breakfast, he called the waitress over to clear the table.
During this ti, the two were exchanging glances, which the General Sect Leader simply ignored.
Not long after, Madison hobbled over with her granddaughter, supporting him with a cane. Seeing the two in the hall, he gave a hearty laugh and waved a greeting, “Good morning, Mr. Jin. How did you rest last night?”
“Not bad, and you?” Allen nodded in response and replied, “It’s rare to see you up so early after staying up so late last night.”
“Late? For , that’s just a normal routine.” Madison didn’t mind the Sect Leader’s teasing. Supported by his granddaughter, he sat on the sofa and said, “I just got up and received treatnt from my private doctor. The diagnosis showed that I’m very healthy. I followed his advice; last night, while you were all enjoying yourselves, I didn’t, and I didn’t take any dication either.”
“Should I complint you on that?” Allen teased.
“No need for that, just be ready to celebrate my 70th, 80th, and even 90th birthdays.” Madison laughed heartily.
“Before you say anything like that, I suggest you take a look at the news.” Allen gestured to the TV.
Upon hearing this, Madison glanced at the news being broadcasted on TV, sowhat puzzled. After understanding the situation, he said disdainfully, “What nonsense, is modern piracy trending again on the South Arican continent and in the Caribbean Sea? The dia just love sensationalism.”
“I don’t see it that way.” Allen smiled and said, “It’s like pulling out a radish and getting dirt with it. The fall of the Haitian General Assad also exposed so rich people’s secrets, along with drug trafficking trade, indirectly implicating several South Arican high-level politicians, and brought Solo Island to global attention. So people now don’t even sleep well at night.”
Allen teased, “Haven’t you been following the hottest topics on the internet? Even my Jehovah Island and your Collection Island have been dragged out for criticism because of this. Those people at the bottom, they’re even shouting to form their own ard forces to attack and loot you!”
“Is that so?” Madison was startled upon hearing this. He quickly asked his granddaughter to get his phone and, after wearing his reading glasses, studied it carefully for a while. After reading, he was rendered speechless.
“I thought soone was really out to trouble , but it turns out it’s just people arguing on the internet…”
“Don’t worry, they can’t accomplish much. They’re just selfish ostriches. If they ever face sothing serious, they would only bury their heads in the sand, trying to cover their ears and deceive themselves, hoping soone else would save them. The reason why the poor remain poor is that they lack independent thinking, making them easily manipulated, especially online. Yet at the sa ti, they pride themselves on being law-abiding and never dare to break the law lightly.”
Madison waved his hand with a smile, “After all, without legal protection, they really would just be a piece of at on the table.”
Seeing this old man with a slaveholder’s attitude and an aristocratic deanor, Allen also felt speechless. He nodded and said, “I hope it’s just as you say. But to ensure we can celebrate your birthdays in the decades to co, I suggest you don’t go out in public for a while and avoid attending any auctions. Keep a low profile, and strengthen the island’s security asures as much as possible.”
Collection Island is not like Jehovah Island; it’s closer to California on the United States’ mainland. By speedboat or plane, it’s just a blink away. If so lunatic really camps out with explosives, intending to die with Madison, it would be unstoppable.
Unlike Jehovah Island, which is far from the Arican Continent, with treacherous routes. By the ti you get there, you might run into smugglers before even finding Jehovah Island.
Those guys aren’t to be trifled with. The most dangerous place is actually the safest, at least it won’t get easily caught in this swirl of public opinion, avoiding harassnt from so trash.
Madison, after listening, seriously considered the Sect Leader’s proposal and nodded, “Let’s do as you say. I was originally planning to attend an auction in Las Vegas. There’s an antique vase there I had my eye on, but considering the current situation isn’t quite right, I’ll keep a lower profile.”
Turning to his granddaughter, he said, “Contact Twitter Company and other online platforms, and have them minimize the public opinion risk, divert attention, and block all entries about . I don’t care how much it costs, just don’t bother . I’m old and can’t handle much fuss.”
“Okay, grandfather.” The granddaughter got up and left. Allen was a bit surprised by this, “You’re quite willing to spend money. What does your granddaughter do?”
Madison chuckled, “She currently works at a newspaper, as an intern journalist, often running around Hollywood. I contacted their boss yesterday and plan to invest in that newspaper dia company. She’ll soon be able to get a permanent position.”
Allen understood this and nodded, thinking money’s power is just like that, understandable.
The two chatted a bit more, and before they knew it, it was noon. Allen suddenly received a ssage from Old Jack, checked his phone, and saw it was their action plan.
