Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Killing Intent!

”That person named Jiang Cheng, along with his company, Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, and its products, whether it’s the Virtual Reality System, the Transparent Phone, or their graphene technology, all represent the economic lifeblood of the future, and are of utmost importance.”

”Yes, Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company now is almost like an enormous money-making machine—every minute, every second, large sums of money are being gathered from all over the world!”

”Although several of our families have made some preparations and responses before this meeting, it’s clear that none have been effective. This meeting is to discuss how to take that cake from the hands of that young man...” a middle-aged man with golden hair said slowly. He had a surname almost suffocating—that of ’Morgan’.

Although those present were equals in status, clearly, family wealth and business scale still created a hierarchy, and this Morgan was the one standing at the top among them, likewise a remarkable contemporary overlord, controlling a significant portion of the United States economy.

When he spoke, everyone nearby instantly quieted down, listening intently to understand his views, his attitude, his opinions.

Morgan naturally felt this attitude, touched the ring on his index finger, and continued: ”Seizing their wealth is my ambition, and also what you all hope for—in this era, the rise of Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, and the rapid rise of Huaxia Country, makes me feel some panic. If not suppressed, the future is bound to be their era!”

”I believe if it becomes their era in the future, none of you want to see that. However, stopping them is equally challenging. In that ancient eastern country with a red regime, our influence is pathetically weak. Trying to suppress them economically to get them to hand over the cake is no longer possible—thus, this means we inevitably have to take some extreme measures!”

Morgan said coldly, yet such words... took the big figures somewhat by surprise.

”Extreme...?”

”Extreme measures??”

The numerous big figures present heard such words and couldn’t help but have their pupils slightly contract.

Although they came here to discuss how to get a piece of that Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company’s large cake, if Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company were to enjoy it alone, that would be too excessive. They, as one of the world’s top financial groups, must be involved.

However, in reality, none of those present had any solutions! After all, if they had a solution to get a piece of the cake, they wouldn’t have come here. Ultimately, these big figures utterly hadn’t figured out how exactly they could take such a large cake from Jiang Cheng’s hands and take a big bite.

Now, suddenly hearing that Morgan actually intends to adopt such radical methods, they naturally weren’t mentally prepared.

For a moment, they couldn’t help but glance at each other, seeing in each other’s eyes the meaning—

Nowadays, the country under the rainbow regime of the Far East is completely different from decades ago. As the fastest-growing nation in the world, it is also one of the five major ’rogue’ states within the UN. In terms of strength, it has long grown to the point of being able to confront a world-leading country like the United States head-on!

If it were some small country, naturally many methods exist, and they could even start a war for it!

By using the crude method of war, forcibly taking that bountiful fruit through the most primitive methods! Or if it were an enterprise that just emerged within the United States, they could also use various methods to seize this newly matured fruit!

But the current situation is completely different; the other party is not in some small country, nor in the United States, but a lion that has gradually awakened, the rainbow-colored great nation of the Far East!

Huaxia!

Using any extreme measures, without a doubt, would be the most foolish choice.

From previous events, it shows that the rainbow regime of that country takes too much care of Jiang Cheng, and their people simply can’t infiltrate—if they really used any extreme measures, without doubt, it would make the situation incredibly tense! And lead to considerable costs!

Of course, if successful, even if it provokes Huaxia and incurs many costs, it would be worth it!

Success, and the ensuing benefits, could entirely allow them to forget those unpleasant happenings.

However, if they fail... then it would be quite troublesome—not only provoking all sorts of troubles and suffering losses but also having to pay a high price. This is one of the reasons for their indecision and hesitation.

Morgan, continuously turning the ring on his index finger, naturally saw the hesitation in the eyes of the many power holders present. He couldn’t help but sigh; having reached this position, they must make some decision, whether to refuse him and leave, or agree with the plan and become part of it, they should decide quickly, rather than remain indecisive and unsure.

Although he sympathized with these people’s hesitation, Morgan has always hated waiting.

Looking at the many family leaders present, he said blandly: ”Gentlemen—what’s your decision? I’ve already made mine, and I hope to hear yours soon.”

Listening to Morgan’s urging, the family leaders present once again exchanged glances. Someone raised their hand and said, ”I withdraw!”

With one person withdrawing, a second soon followed, and soon, of the original thirteen or fourteen members of the ”round table conference,” only five remained!

However, this did not make Morgan frown. The fewer people sharing the cake, the larger the share. They were afraid of danger, worried about consequences, so they withdrew, but didn’t consider that this was nothing but a slow death! Rockefeller was dissatisfied with this status quo, so even knowing there was a significant risk, he still wanted to take a brave gamble!!!

The target is that rainbow country, so starting a war is impossible—but we can employ covert methods, hire some mercenaries, let these mercenaries capture Jiang Cheng. No, Jiang Cheng’s level of protection makes capture unlikely, though it’s worth a try, despite not being hopeful.”

Even if capturing him isn’t possible, we can capture Jiang Cheng’s parents, his woman, and use them as leverage—to force him to hand over the new graphene technology, virtual reality technology, transparent phone technology, and any other technology he holds. Furthermore, if feasible, bringing him to the United States would be the best result!”
