Li Mochen pretended not to know anything about the imminent "crisis" and continued to act at his own pace.
He had to deal with some of the accumulated affairs at the Xuri Company after he left, and at the same time, take over the Benedict family's businesses, as well as the "Atlantic Intercontinental Bank." He had hired enough financial talents to help him take control of the company.
Some of these people were recommended by Kang Xiuli and Michelle, and some were from headhunting companies. Li Mochen wasn't sure if they were reliable, but their resumes were very good, and it was obvious that they were very capable.
Li Mochen now had very low requirements for the "Atlantic Intercontinental Bank," as long as it established a sufficiently perfect regulatory system and guaranteed that it would not lose money.
In addition, Li Mochen also had to check on the many security personnel recruited by the company, as well as the backbone of the armored regiment that Michael Wood had initially integrated.
So in the first few days of returning to Atlanta, Li Mochen was very busy. Even if he had mastered the ability to multitask, he still felt unbearable.
In addition, Li Mochen had to keep an eye on Jennifer Wildenstein's situation at all times. He sent out commissions to major intelligence organizations to find Jennifer's whereabouts or clues.
The situation was getting more and more confusing. Although Jennifer was not dead, no one knew where she was now. No one jumped out and exposed the idea of luring him to the underworld.
It was not until the sixth day of his return to Atlanta that Li Mochen took care of all the affairs at hand.
At this time, the national competition was getting closer and closer. Soon, he would fight with Felton Williams and Greene Adams, two fighting geniuses who were known as "monsters" by the media.
But the King of Void Night still showed no signs of making a move. Even when Li Mochen intentionally or unintentionally weakened the defense around him several times, he still did not show up. It made him wonder if the King of Mutants had seen through his scheme. Or was there some countermeasure outside of his perception?
Fortunately, he still had the "Mysterious Star Locking Secret Method of Zhou Tian Shen Ji," which could help him predict the future. And for the next month, his luck was pretty good.
Speaking of bad luck, one had to mention the manor that he had renamed to Swoode after he bought it.
Actually, Li Mochen had named it "Q-Sword Manor." The people of America could not understand the meaning behind it, nor could they accurately say these two words. It would be inappropriate to translate it into 'Ask for sword', so he decided to just use the word 'sword' as the name for the manor to the public. He still preferred the name 'Ask for sword'.
At this time, Li Mochen had already spent a huge sum of money to renovate this manor that occupied an area of 1200 mu.
Not only did he build a military fortress under the manor, but he also worked hard on the manor's Fengshui.
The buildings in the manor were designed by Li Mochen himself, and the magic array was set up according to his requirements by two Grand Array Masters he hired with a lot of money.
Then, Li Mochen made some modifications on this basis. He personally collected or made Fengshui devices and buried them into the magic array in the manor one by one. Then, he used the Holy Relic "Ten Thousand Year Seal" as the Fengshui Spiritual Pivot.
The entire layout of the Fengshui Spiritual Pivot was "Nurturing the Dragon Aura."
It wasn't that Li Mochen couldn't stimulate his own Dragon Qi. This could indeed allow him to be blessed with good luck for the next one or two years.
But in this world, there was no king. Once the Dragon Aura that Li Mochen stimulated was not nourished by the land and the people, it would sooner or later enter the Proud Dragon Aura.
Therefore, it was better to hide it and strengthen the foundation.
After the Fengshui Spiritual Pivot was completed, Li Mochen's "Divine Cloud Purple Gold Pagoda of Spiritual Fortune" had become bright yellow. Its luster was not inferior to that of his heyday in the Original Sky Realm.
According to Li Mochen's experience, the effect of this treasure had been greatly increased. The effect of a wisp of Qi of Merit was already twice as good as before.
The "Divine Cloud Purple Gold Pagoda of Spiritual Fortune" also had the ability to truly suppress luck, so that Li Mochen's luck could be maintained at a certain level all year round.
However, although the surface of the "Q-Sword Manor" had been preliminarily completed, Li Mochen, Angela, and the others had not moved in yet.
This was because the underground part was still under construction. After Li Mochen returned to the City of Atlanta, not only did he increase the scale of the underground fortress, but he also built six nine-story buildings in the corners of the manor.
They were actually a few fortress castles that looked no different from ordinary buildings. Not only were they equipped with powerful Longsong Cannons and machine guns, but they also had missiles and air defense systems pre-ordered from the Light and Magic Industry. Then, the magic array inside the manor could be further strengthened and expanded.
The purpose was to create a safer shelter to ensure the safety of the company and the company's executives in the City of Atlanta.
It could ensure that with a thousand magic professionals stationed, they could fight against two regular armored divisions. Even if they encountered the attack of a demigod or even a God-level master, they could hold on for a while.
Li Mochen considered that in the future, if he encountered an enemy like the Benedict family again. The defensive strength of the Rising Sun Warehouse Center was obviously not enough. He must prepare for a rainy day and create a new foundation.
However, the total cost of these fortifications, plus the cost of purchasing the manor, exceeded 1.2 billion gold duns, most of which could not be used with the black money in his hands.
Fortunately, he had now obtained the Atlantic Intercontinental Bank, and the Rising Sun Media had also settled the first royalties for him, so that he had more funds in his hands.
It must be mentioned that the net royalties of "Heavenly King of Fury" were only 52 million gold duns. This number was actually very exaggerated. It was the result of the sales of the first volume of "Heavenly King of Fury" reaching 40 million in the first month.
The subsequent sales of the first volume and the next three volumes had not yet begun to be settled. According to the statistics of the Rising Sun Media, the sales of the second volume were currently the highest, reaching 90 million copies. It also set off a huge craze throughout America.
However, the majority of the income of "Heavenly King of Fury" still came from the portrait licensing and advertising cooperation. The male and female protagonists of this comic were now much more popular than Li Mochen himself and had many fans.
The agency that Li Mochen had signed had earned him nearly 620 million gold duns in the past two months.
The Rising Sun Media was not far behind. They had earned a huge sum of money in a few months. In addition, they had taken over part of the business of printing teaching materials and the advertising income from the 24-hour news station, making the financial report of the Rising Sun Media very good. The wealthy Nanette Drew had also begun a new merger plan. After obtaining the consent of Li Mochen, he was ready to take a loan from the Atlantic Intercontinental Bank and launch two consecutive merger plans involving one billion gold duns.
If they succeeded in the end. The scale and influence of the Rising Sun Media would more than double, and its tentacles would extend to the northern states.
