MTLNOVEL Chapter 264: Upgrade
The following morning.
Allen Zhang woke up on the luxurious villa's large bed, stretched lazily, feeling sore and weak, and sucked in a breath of cold air. God knows what he had been through yesterday.
He definitely couldn't indulge himself like this anymore!!
After getting up and loosening his body to relieve the fatigue, he dashed into the bathroom to wash up and checked his phone, discovering that two new fund entries had been added to the Foundation's project.
Merlin Petroleum Company and Watson Oil Company had also transferred the final payments.
+470 million US Dollars.
Checking the daily intelligence, he wasn't surprised to see an upgrade in priority.
After all, the General Sect Leader's influence and wealth were nothing like before.

[Daily Intelligence: The Whale Auction will be held at 10:30 AM. Pike Resource Recycling Company's item, with serial number 17, will be auctioned with no takers, while item with serial number 24 is a Horn Coin, a collector's item that Madison has been accumulating. You might be able to establish a connection with him through it.]
[Daily Intelligence: Your loyal henchman Zorro has invited outstanding retired hitmen to come out of retirement and they are expected to assist you in resolving troubles and problems within 36 hours. None of the fifteen members of the Lightning Board, including those on the list, are expected to escape untouched. You'll need to pay them $300,000 in remuneration, with the option to offer higher compensation for their recruitment.]
[Daily Intelligence: Old Pick's auto repair shop's Rolls-Royce Cullinan is fully restored. You can choose to sell or use it yourself.]
[Daily Intelligence: Your business partner Mark's boss, Mike from Mike's Scrapyard, is in trouble; he's been accused by police of illegal modifications and vehicle theft, facing criminal prosecution, jail time, and an expensive bail. He's currently preparing to flee with the funds, and you might have a chance to invest in or acquire Mike's Scrapyard and the suburban car modification outlet.]
Mark's boss?
How long has it been since old friends have gone bust, bankrupt, or fled with their tails between their legs?
Isn't this another perfect opportunity to buy low, my dear brother?
[Daily Intelligence: Your friend, the female star Amanda, is planning to invite you to a private party with her sisters tonight, with catchy programs, and has also invited her friend from the set, Kate Dellins. Details: Kate Dellins lost her phone while traveling and is frantic about her nude photos being leaked. You might be able to help her.]
Who? Kate Dellins? The female lead Max from "Bankruptcy Sisters"?
Allen Zhang had some impression of her. After all, she was an F-cup, a true human chest machine.
He searched recent headlines and indeed saw that her privates photos had been exposed, with related topics now removed, and it didn't seem to be the first time this had happened.
Many LSPs commented on the topic, discussing how her stolen phone had leaked risqué photos of her F-cup, which then caught the eye of behind-the-scenes investors, leading to her being overloaded with film offers and even participation in Marvel movie productions. Could there now be even more sensational benefits to come out next time?
Others accused her of using this as a marketing tactic since she could barely land popular movies after her marriage and, now in her thirties, lacked suitable roles. With an unhappy post-marriage life, she might also be looking to step into the adult industry.
Maybe she had her sights set on some wealthy tycoon and was throwing out bait to fish for attention, after all, such things weren't uncommon in Hollywood.
Allen Zhang couldn't help but lament how tough it was to be a female star these days.
Without a rich backer, it's hard to catch fire without selling out.
[Daily Intelligence: Colson, a member of Old George's pawnshop gang, is planning to set a trap at a Las Vegas cruise ship casino for a rich individual from Central Africa, purchasing his villa and collection at an undervalue, which includes a pocket watch from a wealthy Titanic victim, and an ancient lioness sculpture from the Elamite civilization of West Asia, requiring your help. You are predicted to earn an approximate 10 million US dollar dividend afterwards.]
[Details: The pocket watch is a masterfully crafted replica, the luxury villa is rented, the Central African rich individual is part of a fake identity ring internationally wanted for fraud. The cruise ship casino manager is in cahoots with them, but you can still earn a minimum of 5 million US dollars from the casino. If you can catch the fake tycoon and deliver him to the real rich person, you may gain recognition and favor from the Central African wealthy.]
Allen Zhang: ???
A con within a con within an antiques scam?
He searched a little about the ancient lioness from the Elamite civilization of West Asia and found that it was said to be made during the Mesopotamian era from 3000-2800 BC when humans had just invented the wheel.
The Genoese lioness is an extremely small and rare white limestone statue, a standing lioness statue with its two front paws clasping its muscular chest, its head turned to the left. It was sold at a 2007 New York Sotheby's auction for $57.2 million, equivalent to about 400 million RMB.
