chapter 31 Buy me the city business center

Ellison Jiang just wanted to make Camellia Tang happy, nothing more than that. He never expected that when he had the Carefree King send the invitation, someone else would steal his credit, leading to Camellia Tang misunderstanding him. After making a phone call to Lucas, he chased after them. "Camellia," he ran over and pulled Camellia Tang aside, explaining, "Please listen to me, I didn't lie to you. I really arranged for the invitation, but someone else took the credit." "You worthless piece of trash, still trying to take credit at this point?" Fawn He scolded him, "Do you want to embarrass yourself even more?" Zion Tang encouraged her, "Sis, he's just a poor ex-soldier. What kind of ability does he have? You should divorce him quickly." Camellia Tang, her eyes filled with tears, said, "Ellison Jiang, that's enough. I thank you for taking such good care of me and for curing me, but I don't want to see you now. Leave!" After saying that, she ran away crying. Ellison Jiang felt a sense of suffocation in his heart. Even in the face of a thousand enemies, he had never been so embarrassed. "A useless piece of trash," Fawn He cursed at Ellison Jiang again, and he stood still, watching the Izaic Tang family leave. He took a deep breath. He chased after them once again and reached the Tang family. However, they didn't allow him to enter. Helpless, he chose to leave and decided to explain once Camellia Tang had calmed down. After leaving the Tang family, he went to the Mortal Clinic run by Lucas. "Brother Jiang, why are you here?" As soon as he entered, Lucas started asking questions, but he immediately shut his mouth when he noticed Ellison Jiang's bad mood and tossed a cigarette to him. Ellison Jiang felt suffocated in his heart. All he wanted was to make Camellia Tang happy, but he didn't expect to encounter such shameless people who took credit for his actions. "Lucas, should I not have come back?" Ellison Jiang smoked a cigarette, the smoke curling around his fingertips. Lucas asked, "What happened, Brother Jiang?" Ellison Jiang recounted the whole incident. Lucas sighed, "Brother Jiang, I've never been in a relationship, so I really can't help you. But if you're unhappy with the Liu family, I can kill them in no time." Ellison Jiang waved his hand, "Forget it. It's not a big grudge. This is Jiang Zhong, a peaceful city, not the border of southern wilderness. We shouldn't use those methods on our own people." Hearing this, Lucas fell silent. "By the way, Lucas, you've been managing my assets. How much personal wealth do I have now?" After returning to the city, Ellison Jiang had experienced quite a lot. He used to regard money as nothing, but now he had started to care about it. "How would I know? Let me calculate for you. We once seized several gold mines from an enemy nation and sold them to a big boss for over 30 billion. Another time, a wealthy man got into trouble and was pursued by the enemy army. He was saved by you, and he gave around 10 billion as gratitude. Also, some wealthy merchants in the small nations on the southern wilderness border pay protection fees each year. Altogether, it should be around 200 to 300 billion!" "Do I have that much money?" Ellison Jiang was astonished. He used to not care about these things before, but now he was beginning to care, and he couldn't believe how wealthy he had become. "Brother Jiang, you are the commander of the Black Dragon Army in the southern wilderness. It's the most chaotic place, but also the easiest place to get rich. You didn't bother to fight for it, but otherwise, you would have been the richest man in the world a long time ago." Ellison Jiang listened to Lucas's words and muttered to himself, "It seems I was really naive in the past." "Brother Jiang, why are you suddenly interested in money? You have a special Black Dragon Card with a credit limit of 10 billion. You shouldn't be short of money." "Camellia said I was hiding personal funds and confiscated them, saying they were for our future child." Speaking of Camellia Tang, a smile appeared on Ellison Jiang's face, a smile that he himself hadn't noticed. "Lucas." "Yes?" "Buy the newly constructed commercial center in Jiang Zhong for me." "What?" Lucas was taken aback by the request. The commercial center in the city was a massive project, featuring over fifty skyscrapers with more than fifty stories each, surrounded by night markets, pedestrian streets, and antique markets. The Jiang Zhong Commercial Center was already completed and was a joint venture by several real estate giants, aiming to make it the most prosperous commercial hub in the country. "What's wrong, not enough money? If it's not enough, use your connections," Ellison Jiang suggested. Lucas glanced at Ellison Jiang and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what exactly are you planning to do? Our funds, after all the calculations, total around 200 billion. Buying the entire Jiang Zhong Commercial Center is a colossal endeavor. Do you know how big it is? Just the land itself is priceless. I heard that several major real estate giants collectively invested over 500 billion and spent five years to complete the Jiang Zhong Commercial Center." Ellison Jiang didn't have a clear understanding of these numbers and directly asked, "Just tell me, how much money do we need to buy it?" Lucas pondered and said, "Several major real estate giants collectively invested over 500 billion. Even if we assume the real estate developers don't make any profit and aim for the lowest price, it would still cost us at least 600 billion." "Buy it. If we don't have enough money, approach some wealthy individuals from the bordering nations in the southern wilderness and gather 600 billion as soon as possible. Acquire the Jiang Zhong Commercial Center for me." "This is a substantial amount of money, and I'm afraid I'll have to personally return to the southern wilderness." "Go ahead," Ellison Jiang said with a slight wave of his hand. Meanwhile, at the Tang family's residence. "Camellia, what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and divorce Ellison Jiang!" "Yeah, even being a mistress for that old man Luby Ye is better than being with Ellison Jiang, who just returned from the army." The family surrounded Camellia Tang, all advising her to divorce Ellison Jiang. "I'm a bit tired. I'll go to my room and rest." Camellia Tang stood up and left. Back in her room, she sat on the bed, lost in thought. During this period, she had grown accustomed to Ellison Jiang's presence by her side. Now that he was gone, she felt a sense of loss, as if something important had suddenly disappeared. She knew Ellison Jiang had only wanted to make her happy but had ended up embarrassing her in front of her family. She took out her phone, thinking about calling Ellison Jiang to ask him to come back. However, instead of dialing his number, she angrily sat on the bed, muttering, "Why should I? He's the one who did something wrong. He should be the one to call and apologize to me. Why should I call him?" Despite her words, she kept checking her phone, hoping that Ellison Jiang would call. One minute, ten minutes, half an hour, one hour, three hours. Camellia Tang waited until past one in the morning, and Ellison Jiang hadn't called or sent a single message. She became increasingly angry, pacing in her room and cursing Ellison Jiang, accusing him of being heartless. As for Ellison Jiang, after informing Lucas about the plan to buy the Jiang Zhong Commercial Center, Lucas set off immediately to raise funds in the southern wilderness. The bordering nations in the southern wilderness were rich in various minerals and jadeite. There were many wealthy individuals there, and collecting a few hundred billions was not difficult. Ellison Jiang's return this time was motivated by a sense of gratitude and a desire for revenge. However, he had been accompanying Camellia Tang during this period and didn't have the opportunity to deal with the four major families. Apart from killing Midas Xiao and Olav Xiao, he had taken no further action. While Camellia Tang was angry at him, Ellison Jiang planned to seek out Cara Xiao to inquire about the whereabouts of the painting “Dwelling in the Mount Huayue”. Xiao Family's remaining villa. It was already past midnight, and the villa's lights had been turned off. Outside the villa, a figure appeared. This person was dressed in a black overcoat and wore a black ghost mask on their face, giving them the appearance of a ghost. ..
