Li Mochen then met his grandfather, Conxiuli Wildenstein, on the top floor of the Wildenstein Building.
"Are you happy now?"
Li Mochen sat in front of Kang Xiuli unhappily. His face was cold and his words were rude. "I don't understand. Why do you want me to return to Wildenstein Group? Isn't it better to let this rotten family collapse? "
"Collapse? This rotten family in your eyes controls assets worth trillions in the two worlds through various means. They have 27 companies with a market value of more than a hundred billion, a city with a population of 500,000, three large military fortresses, 14 regular armored divisions, and nearly a hundred Legends and several Demigods. Little brat, if you want to avenge your parents, this is the best platform. At least for now, your enemy in the CIA, the magician who made Jennifer the Magic Bride, is already on the alert, but he is holding back. "
Conxiuli calmly tapped the table with his pipe. "Of course, if you're dissatisfied, you're willing to let Philip I use this huge asset. In that case, I can ask the Elder Council to remove your identity as the successor. "
Li Mochen couldn't help but twitch his lips. He didn't say anything else. The old man's tone made him very unhappy, but it hit the weak spot of the original Li Mochen.
Even he himself had to admit that the other party's words made sense.
"Now that I've gone through the formalities, where is Jennifer?"
"There's another condition. Take over the Holy Stone Fortress and Scarlet Dragon Armor from Nathan Group."
However, Conxiuli didn't insist on his principles. "Don't worry about Jennifer. She's not in the Dark World right now. I sent people to search in the Dark World just to deceive people. "
"Where is she now?"
"Back then, it was the troops of the Molten Monarch who attacked Jennifer's team. He was an Elemental Lord, a Highlord of the Dark World, and an Earl of the Dark Demon Empire. But in the end, it was the demon wolf Fenrir who took Jennifer away. "
"She should be in the hands of Jennifer's' husband's' enemy, another powerful magician. As the former's magical bride, someone could use Jennifer to threaten the foundation of his existence. Therefore, you don't have to worry about her safety for the time being. That person is more concerned about her whereabouts than we are. My people are also following up on this matter. If it reaches the point where we have to use force, I will inform you in advance. "
"Demon Wolf Fenrir?"
Li Mochen frowned slightly. "This guy is still in the City of Atlanta?"
It must be mentioned that just twenty days ago, when he returned from the Anatolian continent, the alert level of the City of Atlanta had dropped to the normal level, which made many members of the magic tower committee really relieved.
Li Mochen thought the man was dead, or that he had reached an agreement with the families in the City of Atlanta to escape.
He didn't expect this guy to be involved with Jennifer again.
"Yes, the Fandrick family united the people of Atlanta to pressure the federal government, forcing the FBI to dispatch two demigods and a magician to Atlanta, temporarily restoring peace in the city."
Conxiuli changed his tone here. "Behind this demon wolf is someone who has already become a god. It won't be easy for the Fandrick family and the Van Pit family to deal with him."
Li Mochen's eyes immediately flickered. "Is it the enemy of those two families?"
"What do you think?"
Conxiuli's expression was strange. "That's why our Wildenstein family hasn't been robbed."
Li Mochen was full of suspicion. He now suspected that the person in front of him was also related to the demon wolf Fenrir.
"Then one last question. Why do you have to get Holy Stone Fortress and the Scarlet Dragon Armor? What's so special about them? "
He had already asked people to find out about the Scarlet Dragon Armor and the fortress. No matter how he looked at it, this was a losing deal.
"The Lord of the Scarlet Lands, the High King, has reached the end of his life due to some accident. This will quickly improve the environment around Holy Stone Fortress. If you have extra ambition, you can go as far as 450,000 square kilometers in the Scarlet Lands. The mineral reserves there are very exaggerated, and Holy Stone Fortress will be the best bridgehead for you to enter the Scarlet Lands. As for the Scarlet Dragon Armor, you'll know my intentions after you get it. "
Conxiuli had already stuffed his pipe with tobacco. He rubbed it with his finger and lit it.
"It was cursed by a few popes, but it's nothing to its true master."
Li Mochen's eyes narrowed slightly, and then a sense of curiosity arose in him. Did Conxiuli think he could get the Scarlet Dragon Armor's recognition?
…
Li Mochen got Holy Stone Fortress and the Scarlet Dragon Armor very quickly. Maybe Naessen Military wanted to get rid of the burden of Holy Stone Fortress. As soon as he sent a request to Naessen Military in the name of Xuri Group, they sent someone to negotiate with them.
The price was very cheap, only one gold shield, and the Scarlet Dragon Armor. All they wanted was for Li Mochen to inherit the 120,000 residents of Holy Stone Fortress and the 4,000 armed guards of the fortress.
In order to get rid of the dark creatures around Holy Stone Fortress as soon as possible and ensure the safety of the mining area, Naessen Military Complex not only recruited a large number of magic professionals to settle down there, but also signed a contract with seven armed hunting groups to provide them with free housing, a stable stronghold, and supplies for the next 150 years.
As a result, they failed to mine the tungsten ores. Instead, the armed hunting groups and dark hunters made a lot of money.
In order to pay for these contracts, which had a total penalty of 60 billion gold shields, they had to station up to 4,000 armed guards in Holy Stone Fortress to ensure the safety of the fortress.
The salary of this troop alone was as high as 800 million gold shields per year. In addition, there were all kinds of weapons, fortress buildings, and magic defense arrays. Their income from Holy Stone Fortress was very little. They could only get their income by collecting taxes from these hunters.
The problem was that in order to attract these magic professionals, Naessen had set the tax rate very low. If these people wanted to bring the magic materials they hunted to the World of Light, they only had to pay 8% of the tax for the first 80 years. Then, half of the money would be divided by the national tax bureau. According to the development tax set by the country, all magic materials in a newly established city in the World of Dark only had to pay 4%.
Therefore, the annual income of Holy Stone Fortress was a pitiful 420 million gold shields.
Therefore, when Li Mochen expressed his intention to buy the fortress, the board of directors was overjoyed. Although they still had to give him a set of Scarlet Dragon Armor, there was little resistance.
Li Mochen did not let them get what they wanted. He also requested that the Nathan Group give him all the heavy equipment in Holy Stone Fortress, as well as equipment for 4,000 soldiers.
Unexpectedly, the relevant senior officials of Naessen Military Complex only considered for three hours before agreeing to his request. This made Li Mochen realize that the situation in Holy Stone Fortress was probably worse than he had investigated.
