Chapter 462: Sudden Change (Please Subscribe)
Lin Rui's mood was terrible, and after reading Jin Tianchen's reply, it became even worse.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "I can take all your assets for 15 billion federal coins."
After seeing Lin Rui's response, Jin Tianchen cursed inwardly.
What the hell is Lin Rui thinking? He wants industries worth over 100 billion federal coins for just 15 billion? Why doesn't he just rob a bank?
Jin Tianchen thought to himself that even if he were to be slaughtered and buried, he would not cheaply sell these assets to Lin Rui; that would be far too bullying.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "I also have a batch of bank cards from Han's Bank and Hanlong Bank, with the largest denomination. A total of 100 cards, bearer cards, I can privately supplement you with this money. This is my final offer. If you are willing, I'll arrange a lawyer for the transaction, if not, forget it."
Not willing? Hunted to death!
But Lin Rui was not foolish enough to send a threatening message and leave textual evidence, which would give Jin Tianchen an excuse to reclaim his property in the future.
As for those 100 underworld bank cards, they were his black money, which he had never been able to launder or find the opportunity to spend.
Jin Tianchen's mood improved slightly, Han's Bank and Hanlong Bank were the biggest banks in the underworld with profound backgrounds and reliable credit.
The maximum limit for their anonymous bank cards were one hundred million each.
At this point, Jin Tianchen no longer cared whether the money he would get was clean or not.
The advantage of black money is that it is not subject to government regulation, making it more convenient to use.
Jin Tianchen: "That's too little, you need to add at least another 15 billion federal coins. Four times the value is already a big win for you, not to mention black money is usually charged at half its value, the laundry service takes a high commission."
However, there was no response from Lin Rui for a long time.
Jin Tianchen started considering whether he should look for another buyer to offload his assets? Could he rely on the money he had to escape Lin Rui's pursuit?
He actually had many potential buyers, Lin Rui was just one of them.
These were people he believed to have decent integrity, not too unscrupulous, 'possibly' able to provide the money.
However, their offers were at most half the value.
There was another rich second generation friend who offered him 80 billion federal coins for acquisition, but Jin Tianchen didn't dare accept it, knowing there must be a catch.
In fact, even those offering half price, Jin Tianchen couldn't trust.
Just then, Jin Tianchen suddenly felt the ground violently shake, followed by ear-piercing roars of explosions. At the same time, a huge shockwave swept across, shattering the glass windows outside completely.
Jin Tianchen nearly lost his balance. After bracing through the shockwave, he went over to the window to take a look.
"Damn it!"
The blood drained from Jin Tianchen's face.
The headquarters of Jinhao Real Estate Group actually consisted of several buildings and a warehouse complex, the properties split between Alien Company and Jinhao Trading Company, among others.
Jin Bohao had gathered the headquarters of these core companies together, creating a fort-like defensive ring.
He even built around these structures a high alloy steel wall, standing 120 meters tall and three meters thick.
The wall was lined with a multitude of turrets, and inside laid an extremely formidable defense system, its overall firepower even surpassing Earth Federation's special military bases.
But at this moment, the wall was blown open by a huge breach, and one could see numerous combat robots and mechas pouring towards the gap.
In the sky outside, a multitude of hovering armored vehicles approached like dark clouds rolling in.
"Is this the Star Navy's land division?"
Jin Tianchen was horrified at the sight, thinking they were already attacking?
Jinhao Group's headquarters were located in the core area of the western sector of Ninth Base City, and these people had chosen to directly attack the headquarters of Jinhao Group? They were so impatient?
At this time, Jin Tianchen's family group chat was in chaos.
- This is the Star Navy's Ninth Division. What's going on? Why attack directly?
```
— They're accusing us of colluding with pirates and resisting the search.
— Didn't the vice-chairman reply already? They don't have a legal search warrant! The Military Investigation Bureau can't touch us.
— Shouldn't it be easy for them to apply for a search warrant? Was there really a need to storm in directly? The Federation Security Bureau has said nothing so far.
— Idiots! They want to seize our Alien Company's Quantum Divine Machine, they're eyeing our 20,000 Alien Walkers. Some people don't want to give us the chance to transfer and destroy the alien data, nor the opportunity to transfer assets.
— There's also the data and ledgers of the trading company, those things are important. They contain a lot of clients' information and data.
— Stand our ground! We must withstand this wave, otherwise, we're all finished!
Thinking to himself, Jin Tianchen thought: "Stand our ground," my ass. Seeing that both the company's security and the Alien Walkers had no will to fight, with morale already broken, why would he risk his own life in such a situation?
Jin Tianchen thought it over and continued to send messages to Lin Rui.
Jin Tianchen: Then that's the price! But you have to ensure my safety, send someone now to escort me out of Alien Company!
Jin Tianchen believed at this time that those who bargain hardest might actually be the most sincere in wanting to buy.
Moreover, if he didn't keep Lin Rui placated, even if he succeeded in getting the money, he wouldn't live to spend it.
Lin Rui was fully focused, working with Huang Fuqing to create an alien embryo for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was deeply afflicted by Abyss Pollution, and her alien form at the embryo stage was already producing a large amount of Abyss Source Material.
He had already injected himself with two doses of Stimulant for the purification of the Source Essence for Lin Yi.
Huang Fuqing, operating the Battle Dragon, looked at Lin Rui with some worry: "President Lin, I think we should stop here for today. Once the embryo's creation is completed, Lin Yi's Primordial Spirit will have a vessel. The subsequent adjustment of the alien form can be divided over thirty days. We must take it step by step, we can't rush this, nor is it possible to."
Lin Rui was indeed on the verge of exhaustion by now and could hardly carry on.
At that moment, he received another important message. Wang Tianwu and Fei Yunlai had sent a message in the battle group, saying while Lin Yi's Battle Dragon had calmed down, the base city surrounding it had been cordoned off by the police and the 'Anti-Terror Center' of the Federation Security Bureau.
And it wasn't just governmental forces involved; there were several other powerful groups participating.
From the current situation, it appeared very difficult to get Lin Yi's Battle Dragon out.
Lin Yi's Battle Dragon was very important. Like the one belonging to Lin Xi, it was a 'Abyss' weapon manufactured by the Longevity Association.
Zhen Hao managed to harness some of the weapon's power by controlling Lin Yi's threshold of pain.
That was why Lin Yi had been unbeatable in the Dark World and why she was able to shoot and kill Lin Rui's clone with a single shot, even under the tight protection of the Sky Blue Group.
Lin Rui really wanted to get his hands on this Abyss Battle Dragon to study its mysteries and see if he could find a better and more convenient way to prolong life for the sisters Lin Yi and Lin Xi.
However, now it seemed that it would take some doing.
Lin Rui also looked at the message from Jin Tianchen, and he couldn't help but laugh ironically. Jin Tianchen was ready to sell if he could, and if not, so be it. Lin Rui had no interest in rescuing this scum who had caused the deaths of several people.
But just then, Zhou Yunfei actually called with a video call.
Zhou Yunfei was startled by Lin Rui's unusually pale face and, after repeatedly ensuring that Lin Rui was alright, he got to the matter at hand.
He spoke of the attack on Jinhao Real Estate Group by the Star Navy Marine Division.
Zhou Yunfei was furious, swearing on the video: "Fuck their grandmothers, the Star Navy! How dare they do this? Have they lost their minds? That's a densely populated area of the Base City; they didn't even conduct an evacuation beforehand. Do they want to kill that many people?"
Zhou Yunfei's tone then shifted: "I don't know if it's convenient for you right now, Xiao Rui? Not only are you the Director of the National Security Special Action Center at the Security Bureau, but also the head of the Special Service Center. You might have to step in this time.
If it's convenient, you must prevent the Star Navy from obtaining the data of the Jin Family's Alien Walkers recorded in the Quantum Divine Machine, some people are dreaming of monopolizing it!"
After hearing this, Lin Rui felt a throbbing pain in his head.
He was already at the end of his tether, and now he had to deal with affairs of the Jinhao Group.
And at this very moment, Jin Tianchen had sent another message: Lin Rui, I can also introduce you to some business. It's my cousin, and a few others of our kind. They have assets of nearly 200 billion, which they can give you at a third of the price.
Jin Tianchen: In addition, my brother has an electronic ledger left by my uncle, involving many big figures from the political and business circles, even fourteen Congressmen and two current Cabinet Ministers. Your Sky Blue Group backing you would definitely be interested in this. He also has the identity data of 20,000 Alien Walkers. As long as you can cover our escape, all this will be yours.
A spark of interest finally flickered in Lin Rui's eyes.
However, it was clear that Jin Tianchen was desperately groping for solutions. How could Lin Rui, merely a University Martial Arts Star, possibly handle so much?
