"One hundred billion US dollars?" said Nate in disbelief. He looked at Peter, wanting to confirm the truth.
"Isn't it impossible that fifty percent of Mr. Lucius' income could be that much in eighteen years?" Nate asked. Meanwhile, Peter just smiled.
"I've always used Lucius' savings to do business. The turnover is very fast and the profit is also large, that's why it can reach so much in eighteen years," Peter replied.
"Business?" muttered Nate as he gave Peter a sharp look.
"He's definitely not a casual person. It would be hard for a businessman to get a million dollars. Let alone a hundred billion dollars," Nate mused.
"Yes. Lucius has done me a great favor, so I'm doing him a favor by investing his money in my business. That money will be yours when you get out of this rotten prison," Peter said as he put the ledger back in his hand.
"I have been looking for your whereabouts for the last few months. It turned out that I was too late, because you were already in this prison, which I really regret. But I was very surprised to see that you can still survive here, the most surprising thing is that you can become one of the respected leaders here," Peter continued.
"I just try my best to survive. My misfortune, poverty and misery since childhood can make me survive here," Nate replied.
"I will get you out of here soon. I hope you can be patient," Peter said as he stood up.
"I'm sorry, sir. But how did you get the helicopter from Lucius' business group? I've never seen you in the ranks of the business group," Nate asked.
"My business is very different from Lucius'. I don't live in the state of Vienna anyway. I live overseas and very far from Vienna. I got the helicopter on business," Peter replied with a smile.
"I see. Thank you for helping me get out of here," Nate said as he shook Peter's hand.
"I hope you don't get confused when you get out of here. Because I won't be helping you after I get out of here. This is my last debt of gratitude to Lucius," Peter said.
"That is more than enough. I already know what I need to do when I get out of here," Nate replied.
Peter left immediately with his heavily armed men. They left the Dark Continent with the helicopter of Lucius' business group. Meanwhile, Nate immediately returned to the field to meet all of his men.

It has been a month since Nate met Peter. Now Nate is three weeks out of the world's most dangerous prison. He looked well dressed as he walked down the hallway of a luxury hotel. His appearance was much different than a few months ago, tonight he even wore clear glasses.
The ash-colored suit matched Nate's appearance, who wore a black tie with white stripes. His muscular body and piercing eyes radiated authority. All the hotel employees who passed him even bowed their heads as a sign of respect, sure that Nate was no ordinary person.
"Is Mr. Sean in this room?" asked Nate as he stood in front of the guard standing at the door of the room.
"I'm sorry, sir. What is your name?" the guard asked as he looked at Nate.
"My name is Nate. I have an appointment with Mr. Sean to meet at this hotel," Nate replied with a smile.
"Please come in, Mr. Nate. Mr. Sean is waiting for you in the room," the guard replied politely as he opened the door to the room.
Nate entered the room immediately. Inside the luxurious room, a middle-aged man was sitting on a sofa. Behind him, two bodyguards stood guard. On the table in front of him were expensive wines and several kinds of food.
"Welcome Mr. Nate," the middle-aged man named Sean greeted.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Sean," Nate replied as he shook Sean's hand.
"I didn't realize you were so young," Sean said as he invited Nate to sit down.
"I just happened to be born younger than you," Nate said with a smile.
"That's right, then let's discuss the purpose of our meeting tonight," Sean said as he opened his laptop and took out several files from his bag.
"Go ahead," Nate said as he nodded in understanding. Then he took some of Sean's files and started to read them.
"This is some data on the Delta Business Group. Including data on several companies under it. Meanwhile, this file contains the financial statements of all the companies under the Delta Business Group," Sean explained.
"The contents of the report look very promising. The financial statements look healthy too," Nate said with a smile as he picked up the file.
"But the reality is the opposite of what is written here. The reason Mr. Delta wants to sell his group of companies is because he can no longer handle it all. All the companies under the control of the Delta Group have also gone bankrupt," Nate added with a smile.
"What you said. Mr. Delta wants to sell it because he wants to focus on running a new business group with his other colleagues," Sean argued.
"The Delta business group is just a small business group here in Vienna State. Data analysts and some business information brokers are enough to uncover all the contents of this business group. Some company officials also seem to have defected after realizing the state of the company. Mr. Sean doesn't need to cover it up anymore," Nate said with a smile.
"Mr. Delta must need money to bail out his son who is in and out of jail. It must be hard when his only son can't be counted on to help him with his business," Nate continued.
"You seem to know everything already," Sean said with a deep sigh.
"Of course I do. In this day and age it is not too difficult to gather information, all it takes is money. When you accepted my offer to negotiate the purchase of this group, I was even more convinced that your situation was very difficult," Nate replied.
"If you already know everything, what is the amount of your offer?" asked Sean after a deep sigh.
"One hundred million dollars," Nate replied briefly.
"Isn't that too little, sir? The Delta Business Group has five companies under it. It's probably worth ten billion dollars," Sean offered.
"Sir, you are a good negotiator. But a hundred million dollars is too much for the Delta Business Group right now. Besides, those five companies are just small businesses that have already lost out to competitors, so there's no point in asking for more. Unless you want me to lower my offer," Nate said with a smile.
"I also know that other businessmen have made very low bids for your company," Nate continued, but his words were not finished because they were cut off by Sean.
"Well, we'll take it," Sean quickly cut in before Nate changed his mind.
"You're definitely not going to pass up this opportunity. The other companies are only offering prices under ten million dollars," Nate thought as he saw the look of panic on Sean's face when he heard that Nate was going to lower his offer.
They both shook hands to signify that the deal was done. They would discuss payment, paperwork, and other matters at their next meeting. Nate then excused himself after talking to Sean for a moment about the five companies under the Delta Business Group.
"Sorry sir, I forgot to ask you something," Sean said as Nate turned to leave.
"What is it?" asked Nate as he turned around.
"If you already know everything, why do you still want to buy the Delta Business Group? Even though I'm sure you also know that the competitor that destroyed us is the largest business group in the state of Vienna, the Lucius Business Group," Sean replied, looking sharply at Nate.
"My reason is only one. Because you were destroyed by the Lucius Business Group, that's why I want to help you," Nate replied with a smile and walked out of the room. Sean seemed confused by Nate's answer.
"I want to see how they react when the small business group they destroyed becomes their biggest obstacle," Nate thought with a grin.

Two months had passed since Nate had met Mr. Sean. Tonight, the center of Vienna was very busy with people driving back and forth in their private vehicles. A black luxury Toyota drove through the city streets.The car with the license plate B 137 H was followed by a black Lamborghini with the license plate B 345 T. The driver of the Toyota looked back several times in his rear view mirror. Meanwhile, the beautiful woman sitting in the back seat on the right looked busy with her cell phone."Miss Sicilia, that Lamborghini car is following us," the driver said, looking at Sicilia through the glass on the dashboard."Lamborghini?" said Sicilia as she looked back for a moment. But she couldn't see the driver because the two cars were quite far apart."Do we have to call the police?" the driver asked."No need. After all, the glass and body of this car have been modified to be bulletproof. We will contact the police if the car makes any strange movements. Try not to drive on deserted road
Nate looked up at the night sky from the balcony of his apartment. The streets of Vienna were clearly visible from the fifteenth floor. Nate was leaning against the metal railing. His right hand appeared to be holding a cup of coffee.On the table was a laptop with a screen displaying the profile of Xavier Lucius. Next to the laptop were open files. The contents of the file were corporate records belonging to the Lucius Business Group, which was run by Xavier's family. Next to the file was Nate's iPhone and a box of cigars."They divided up all of his father's companies fairly. I didn't expect these greedy people to get along after his father died. Normally, greedy people like them would fight to get the biggest inheritance," Nate muttered.Soon after, Nate's iPhone rang. It turned out to be a call from an unlisted number. But Nate didn't seem surprised because he could already guess who was calling him."Yes," Nate said as he answered the call."I got the latest financials for the De
Three days have passed since Nate met Sean. Right now Nate is in a big shopping mall in the city of Vienna. He wanted to buy something to give to his cheating ex-wife. But as he was walking around, he suddenly saw a figure he knew well."Vin Lucius?" muttered Nate as he saw a teenage boy holding a teenage girl about his age. They had just come out of a well-known clothing store.Though Vin and his girlfriend were wearing jackets to cover their school uniforms, Nate would not forget because he had often washed the junior high school uniform of Mark and Wien Lucius' youngest son. Nate just grinned and checked his watch."He should still be at school. Kids and parents seem to be the same," Nate muttered as he walked among the passersby. But soon Nate stopped walking again."Turns out he brought his bodyguards here too," Nate thought as he saw three men dressed like other patrons in three different places.Nate knew they were Vin's bodyguards because he had seen their faces. They were usu
Nate casually paid for his purchases at the mall cashier. He glanced around occasionally to make sure Vin's bodyguards weren't following him."We'll help you carry everything out to the parking lot," the mall employee said."No, no. You're just going to have to deliver it directly to my apartment. The trunk of my car won't hold enough," Nate refused with a smile."All right, sir. Then we'll get the address," the salesman said."You can drop the items off at the front desk and they'll bring them to my apartment," Nate said after writing down the address."Very well, sir," the mall clerk replied.Nate immediately left the mall in his Lamborghini. Nate stopped the car at a red light. The iPhone he had placed on the dashboard rang. It said the caller's name was the apartment receptionist."Mr. Nate, we just received a package from a courier for you. It says the contents are microphones. But it doesn't say the address and name of the sender," the apartment receptionist reported."Just acce
Nate smiled as he stared at the screen of his laptop. He wore a pair of headphones that were connected directly to the laptop. Meanwhile, the laptop screen itself displayed an audio spectrum that rose and fell like the sound of a conversation.Nate's right hand is holding a lit cigar and blowing smoke around it. A glass of drink and some snacks were also on his desk. Nate's body leaned back against a chair as he listened to the Lucius family's conversation through the earpiece Nate had placed among the items in the box."No way. Did this all come from that asshole?" Liene asked as she approached her husband."I don't think so either. But his name is on it," Damian replied."How could he send all this from inside the prison?" said Dominic."Maybe there's a rule that prisoners can send gifts from prison," Jim interrupts."But the problem is that all this stuff he's sending is expensive. There's no way a poor prisoner could afford to buy them and send them here," Mark said after checking
"They don't even hesitate to be in an open restaurant like this anymore. They must have a strong and irrefutable reason if someone suspects them," Nate muttered as he continued to watch Wien and Liene eating with the handsome men.Then Nate sat down in one of the empty chairs. A waiter soon came over and asked for his order. While enjoying his meal, Nate's attention seemed to remain focused on Liene and Wien's table.Soon, Liene and the others seemed to have begun arranging their belongings. All the dishes on their table also seemed to have a little left over. Wien seemed to be talking while pointing at two young men. The two young men smiled and nodded their heads.Liene immediately took Vict who helped her to stand up from the chair. Meanwhile, Wien stood up along with the two handsome men she had pointed at earlier. The other three women and three young men were seen holding hands. They all immediately walked to the elevator.Nate stood up quickly and straightened his clothes. Then
The day continued to pass until the opening of the game tournament organized by DeLucion Dev this morning. The Game Tournament event was held offline in the Vienna Hall Arena building.The enthusiasm of the people is clearly visible from the situation in front of the Vienna Hall Arena building this morning, many teenagers have gathered to line up to enter the building. All the tickets provided by the committee were also sold out.Everyone also seemed to be wearing a scarf or t-shirt from their respective support teams. In this day and age, games have indeed become a means of community entertainment. Especially for millennial teenagers growing up.The gaming business is now one of the most promising businesses in the world. No wonder many business groups in the state of Vienna are starting to expand into the gaming industry. Even the government is now interested in introducing gaming competitions to the public by helping to organize national gaming competitions.Nate got out of his Lam
Nate smiled at Xavier's look. Xavier's lips seemed to move as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out of his mouth. His hands suddenly stopped moving as his eyes focused on Nate."I really wanted to say everything in front of you and your wife," Nate said."Impossible, how did you get here?" asked Xavier, finally controlling his shock."How did you get out of the most dangerous prison?" asked Xavier again, standing up and alert."There is only one reason, Xavier. I was innocent and didn't deserve to be there in the first place," Nate replied."What do you want here?" asked Xavier again as his right hand moved to the bottom of his desk as if searching for something."I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I'm still healthy. I was afraid you were worried about me being in prison," Nate replied with a grin."Don't joke around. You think you can get away with this? You'll regret showing your face in front of me," Xavier said as he pressed the emergency button at the
