Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

In late March 1984, a plane landed successfully at Iskoshuban Airport.

Raven Albert and Monica Meyer went straight to the car rental shop after getting off the plane.

This wasn't the first time the couple had been to Yunlan City, so they naturally knew the local customs.

They prefer renting a car to taking a taxi.

Because if they rent a car, they can travel freely and go wherever they want.

Moreover, gasoline is quite cheap in Yunlan City, which is because it is closer to the Saudi Empire.
When talking about gasoline, we inevitably have to mention petroleum.

After oil is processed, it produces various industrial products such as automobiles, aviation kerosene, lubricating oil, asphalt, and liquefied gas.

Therefore, oil is also known as the lifeblood of modern industry; nothing can be done without oil.

The roads in Yunlan City are all paved with asphalt. This material is very effective, and cars will drive very quietly on it.

"Wow, Mercedes cars are so cheap? Much cheaper than last time we came. Raven, how about we rent a Mercedes?"

Upon entering the car rental shop, Monica Mayer immediately began to exclaim loudly.

She was so pleasantly surprised.

Of all car brands, her favorite is Mercedes-Benz because it is a very old brand; the world's first car was actually made by Mercedes-Benz.

Moreover, Mercedes-Benz is a luxury car brand, and she used to dream of owning a Mercedes-Benz when she was in Sam's.

Unfortunately, at the time she was just a teacher with a low salary and couldn't afford such a luxury car.

Now that she's getting older, of course she wants to experience things she used to dream of having.

"Sure, no problem!"

Raven Albert did not refuse his wife's suggestion, but instead agreed with a smile.

The two quickly completed the necessary procedures with the car rental company staff and then drove away.

If it's your first time visiting Yunlan City, you definitely won't be able to drive your car away so quickly.

As the population of Yunlan City increases, the management of cars is becoming increasingly strict.

With so many cars on the road these days, it's natural to need to follow traffic rules.

Otherwise, something could easily go wrong.

The traffic rules in Yunlan City seem simple, but they are actually not that simple.

For first-time visitors to Yunlan City who want to rent a car, it's essential to learn the traffic rules first.

Monica Mayer drove the car herself on the smooth road, and the beautiful scenery outside the window made her feel incredibly happy.

Modern Mercedes-Benz cars have cassette players, so if you want to listen to a song, you'll need to bring your own cassette tape.

Listening to my favorite songs, driving my favorite Mercedes-Benz, surrounded by my favorite people, and with such breathtaking scenery in front of me, this feeling is just too wonderful.

It would be even better if she were still twenty years old.

Wanting to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and carry wine together is not like a young man's journey.

Even though Monica Mayer is very satisfied with her current life, one can never go back to the past.

"Hey, why are there so many people up ahead? Is there some kind of event?"

Just then, on their way to the hotel, Monica and the others saw a large crowd ahead, a very lively scene.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a pop star was holding a concert there.

The entire Yunlan City is predominantly Chinese, so the stars who hold concerts here are naturally Chinese-speaking stars, such as stars from Hong Kong.

As the Hollywood of the East, Hong Kong Island has a great many stars.

Although many of Hong Kong's stars were snatched away by Hollywood more than a decade ago, over the years, with the popularization of Chinese language in Hollywood and the development of Hong Kong itself, it has naturally cultivated many stars.

As a result, such stars have become international superstars.

After learning it was a concert, Monica and Raven weren't very interested.

Because they are no longer young and cannot participate in such activities.

Soon, the couple arrived at their reserved seaside hotel.

Such a room costs five hundred US dollars per night, which is very expensive, but well worth it.

It wasn't until they checked in that Monica and her companions realized the hotel actually offered free airport shuttle service.

Losing big!
Five hundred dollars is not a small amount of money.

There are many high-income earners in Yunlan City, but this seaside villa hotel is also a five-star hotel, so it is naturally very luxurious.

Just as Monica and her companion checked into their hotel and began their vacation in Yunlan City, Zhao Mancang had already gathered Clement Newman and the others together in New York.

"What else can you do besides plundering other people's wealth, you rats hiding in the gutter?"

A mechanical voice came from the mask Zhao Mancang was wearing.

At this moment, Betley Rockefeller and the others looked at Zhao Mancang with terrified expressions, not daring to breathe loudly.

The fact that Zhao Mancang could ignore their bodyguards and come directly in front of them without alerting anyone was terrifying.

They were completely baffled as to how Zhao Mancang had come to them.

You should know that none of the bodyguards they hired were weaklings.

But it couldn't stop Zhao Mancang in the slightest, and then it fell down lightly.

But now is not the time to think about these things; we need to figure out what Zhao Mancang is trying to do.

"You're probably here to collect money, right? I have money, I have a lot of money, I'll give it all to you, okay?"

At this moment, James Morgan said, his voice trembling.

Zhao Mancang laughed:
"How much money do you have? Ten billion US dollars or two billion US dollars?"

hiss!
Everyone present was stunned.

He's talking about 10 billion US dollars right off the bat?

That guy is ruthless.

You have to understand, these financial giants who have been around on Wall Street for a long time are used to life and death, but a business worth tens of billions of dollars is no small amount.

But when Zhao Mancang said it, it sounded so casual.

A few years ago, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, and others were all robbed.

The new leaders, such as James Morgan, did not inherit the family business at its peak, but rather a company that had been cut in half.

So asking them to come up with billions of dollars is no different from killing them.
“No, we don’t have that much money. I only have five hundred million,” James Morgan said with a mournful face after realizing what was happening.

But would Zhao Mancang believe it?
Torture of this group of people was only one of the objectives.

Once they've been tortured enough, Zhao Mancang will take all the money these people possess.

The specific method of taking it away involves threatening their lives to force them to cooperate in transferring all the shares, cash, and other valuables.

The Wall Street financial giants have caused a lot of trouble this time, which has angered Zhao Mancang, so he certainly won't let them off easily.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang came this time to make an example of someone.

Although he knew that Wall Street was bound to be a place teeming with all sorts of monsters and freaks. Killing one group would only create another.

They definitely can't be killed all of them.

But Zhao Mancang only needs to resolve the immediate conflict and have a few years of peace.

He couldn't be sure that after this scare tactic, Sam and his group would no longer covet Yunlan City.

A few years ago, back in 1981, didn't Eduardo Wilson come to Yunlan City to show off his power?

It's only been 1984, only a few years have passed?
Sam's group is quick to forget the pain once the wound heals.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang must teach this group of people a profound lesson this time.

Over the next few days, under Zhao Mancang's carrot and stick approach, James Morgan, Tobias Davis, Andrew Williams, Clement Newman, Betley Rockefeller, Walter DuPont, and others had no choice but to hand over all their funds to Zhao Mancang.

Their hearts are bleeding.

Zhao Mancang has brought in many people, all of whom are professionals who can help him manage these assets.

Basically, if they leave here, Wall Street will experience a major earthquake.

April has arrived in the blink of an eye.

Before the Qingming Festival, Zhao Mancang dealt with the matter and then saw the group of people off.

He did not send this group of people to meet God.

If Betty Rockefeller and his group still want revenge, Zhao Mancang is always ready to welcome them.

Next time, it won't be as simple as just taking their money.

This year's Qingming Festival falls on April 4th. Zhao Mancang returned to Beijiang City before noon on the 3rd.

The Zhao family's ancestors only had one nameplate; nothing else.

Because Zhao Mancang had no feelings for his father, and the Zhao Mancang before he transmigrated also hated his parents, he didn't need to perform so many sacrifices every year during Qingming Festival.

As for where the ancestral graves are, Zhao Mancang doesn't know either.

Qingming Festival is a day for ancestor worship, especially in Beijiang City, which is in the south, where the atmosphere of Qingming Festival is very strong.

At Limi Cave Villa, Zhao Mancang and his family gathered for a meal.

Unlike other families who searched the mountains and fields for their great-grandfather, Zhao Mancang and his family were simply gathering together for the holiday.

"Brother, I heard you lost money?"

At the villa entrance, Zhao Yuechan approached Zhao Jinshi and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Mancang, who was standing inside the house, chuckled softly upon hearing this.

His hearing was naturally very sensitive, so no matter how low Zhao Yuechan and the other children tried to speak, it was no use.

Unless they keep quiet.

"Nonsense, how could I possibly lose money?" Zhao Jinshi said guiltily.

He knows best whether he lost money or not.

In the financial industry, profits and losses are commonplace.

After eavesdropping on his children's conversation for a while, Zhao Mancang stopped paying attention to the matter.

His family often gets together, so he can know about anything that happens in a timely manner.

If it's about money, Zhao Mancang isn't worried at all.

As long as Zhao Jinshi and his team are still capable, there will be no problem.

Besides, Zhao Mancang feels great about himself right now, and he's perfectly capable of living to be a hundred years old.

Time seems to fly by after the Qingming Festival.

At that moment, Lü Yangui called to say that the handover was almost complete.

“Check it again. I need to make sure that not a single living Black person can be seen on the land that Yunlan City has taken over.”

After listening, Zhao Mancang gave the order.

There are a lot of black people in Ethiopia, and some of them might be hiding.

It would be disgusting if they reappeared after Yunlan City took over.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yangui solemnly stated that he would personally supervise and inspect to ensure that no one was left behind.

Hearing this, Zhao Mancang nodded.

Next comes the waiting; it will definitely take some time for the inspection to be fully completed.

Yunlan City, Yunjin Beach Hotel.

Raven Albert and Monica Meyer were surprised when they checked into the hotel.

"I never expected the beach here to be so beautiful! It's almost identical to Mauritius."

The couple had been to Mauritius and knew that the scenery there was unparalleled.

Mauritius is a place even more beautiful than paradise, and together with the Maldives and Seychelles, it is known as one of the three pearls of the Indian Ocean.

Now they realize that the sea view in Yunlan City is actually just as good as that in Mauritius.

No wonder the accommodation at Yunjin Beach Hotel is so expensive.

Indeed, there's a reason why things are expensive.

After checking into the Yun Jin Beach Hotel, Raven Albert and his wife rested for one night to adjust to the time difference, and then stayed at the hotel the next day.

They came here for vacation, not for tourism.

There is a fundamental difference between vacation and tourism. The former focuses on relaxing the mind and body and relieving stress, so it is characterized by a slow pace and no plans.

Their daily routine consists of activities like lying on the beach, enjoying spa massages, and so on.

Tourism, on the other hand, focuses on exploration and experience, enriching one's life by visiting attractions and learning about culture or history, and the itinerary is relatively compact.

Since Raven Albert and his friends were on vacation, they naturally wouldn't be running around.

But three days later, after they had relaxed enough, the two drove out and went for a drive around.

They had previously rented a Mercedes-Benz at the airport, but the hotel staff helped them cancel the rental on the same day, since the hotel had arranged a car.

A room costing five hundred US dollars is expensive for a reason.

"I saw on the news that Yunlan City was under war, but it seems that was fake news."

The couple drove out and found that Yunlan City had not been affected by the war at all.

The residents of Yunlan City were no different from usual; those who were supposed to go to work went to work, and those who were supposed to go to school went to school.

"Whether it's fake news or not, it's none of our business. We're just here on vacation."

"That's not the case. If there really is a war, it will have a significant impact on us."

As Monica Mayer spoke, several fighter jets suddenly appeared in the sky. They weren't flying at low altitude, but the roar of their engines was still very loud.

The couple were stunned by what they saw. (End of Chapter)
