The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 88

They found the price of this dish, and after summing it up according to the price online, they found that the food was worth at least a million dollars.

This makes them more reluctant to throw away food.

After eating, they also rested for a while.

David asked the hotel manager to put them in some high-end suites so everyone could rest for the night. It's too late to look around the house tonight because the sales department must have gone home from work. They also could not sign any letters today, so the only option was to wait until tomorrow.

After breakfast the next day, David took everyone to the South River International Residence.

G-Wagon David drove to the residence easily but Jude's cheaper family car for about a hundred thousand was held up by security guards outside.

These security guards have been working here for several years, and they have never seen a cheap car get into the Residence. G-Wagon David is already considered the cheapest car among the tenants living in it, so it is only natural that they stop and check on visitors.

“Hei! What are you guys doing? Get the fuck out of here! This is not the place for you!” A security guard walked up to Jude's parents and shouted.

He may not be able to afford such a car, but he does not feel the need to respect the person driving such a “cheap” car. The guard might not have had much savings since working here, but his standards definitely skyrocketed.

“This, man, smoke. We followed the car in front of us, we were with them" Jude politely reprimanded as he gave a cigarette to the security guard.

He still looked a bit awkward, as this was a big city and he was a stranger here.

The guard picked up his cigarette and spoke through a walkie-talkie, “No 6, No.6! A Benz G-Class has just entered, have the driver bring proof of his residence, and come to the main gate! There are visitors here!”

“Good! Fine!” There was a sound on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Then, the security guard told Jude's father arrogantly, “Stop your car on the side first and don't run! This is not a place you can enter as you like!”

Both mother and aunt Jude were furious. They had never experienced such treatment in Shu City! This man was just a mere security guard, he had no right to act so arrogantly with them.

“What do you mean, huh? What do you mean it's not a place for people like us to just get in as we please? You're just a security guard! We will have the property management fire you once we become tenants!” Jude's mother yelled at the security guard.

“One stays! You're just a security guard! Who are you to act so arrogantly? I'll get you fired!” Aunt Jude is helping.

“Hah! You, tenant? You gonna get me fired? Do you even know where this place is? This is the most expensive residential area in South River Province! The cheapest house here costs fifty million and the price can range up to four hundred million rupiah! As if you could be a tenant here! Keep dreaming in broad daylight!” The security guards scoffed mercilessly.

This surprised the people in the car. ‘The cheapest house here costs fifty million? And the price can reach four hundred million?’

It was completely beyond their imagination. Their home in Shu City only cost around four to five hundred thousand. Larger homes in better areas may cost more, but they never exceed a million dollars. It was a drastic difference from houses like this that cost at least fifty million.

Seeing how his words surprised these visitors, the security guards next believed that he was talking to people from the village.

Because of that, he kept mocking, “Go drive your car to the side. Don't block the entrance, everyone who comes here is a great person! You can't waste their time by blocking the way!”

Jude's father quickly drove his car aside and waited for David and the others to come and pick them up. The others in the car also suddenly remembered that David was here to show them the house.

'What is the house in this house? A house that cost at least fifty million? He will give this house to our son after marriage?'

The three in the car shared expressions of shock and surprise. They were stunned by the sudden arrival of such great fortune. The Holton family didn't have to wait too long before David came out to pick them up.

David also did not expect them to be detained outside because he was not detained for many times in and out. After taking Holton and reuniting with Diana and the others, David takes them all to the third floor.

Jenny was already waiting on the third floor with the key in hand as David had told her before.

“Please pass by here, Mr Lidell!” jennie was polite.

David is her favorite client. He had earned a commission of six million from the three houses he sold him.

A group of people followed Jenny to a one-story unit for a hundred million dollars that David had already paid for. The Diana and Jude families were stunned when they entered the house. It makes sense that such a luxury home would cost at least fifty million. The interior design, furniture, and the view are very beautiful.

These people may not know much about decorating, but they do know how to appreciate beauty.

Aunt Diana refused to accept the house when she heard that it cost her a hundred million, but David said that she had paid the security deposit and the amount was non-refundable.

Diana was still in disbelief when David told her that he also had a home in the first Block.

He only agreed to take the house after David showed him his house in the first Block and persuaded him again.

Later, David and the others follow Jenny to the sale section to pay for the rest of the house and proceed with the transfer of ownership of the house using Aunt Diana's identity card. From now onward, this house belonged to Aunt Diana's family.

After this, David takes them back to the Golden Leaf Hotel. He arranged several job openings for Jude and Diana's family inside the hotel so that they could earn an income without the need to do much work.

The two families were numb when they learned that the only eight-star hotel in South River Province belonged to David. The man had given them too many surprises over the past two days.

From multimillion dollar luxury cars to hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of homes, and these eight-star hotels are worth twenty billion dollars. David has raised their standards many times.

David internally sighed in relief after finishing the affair with Aunt Diana's family.

Next, he had to start building up his own strength. He may have an infinite amount of money, but that doesn't mean he can expand his influence blindly. He needs a real plan.

Before he built up his strength, he had to be self-effacing. David still wants to follow the ideals of the old generation and keep his wealth a secret.

In the afternoon, David went to River City Hospital. Paul had to be sent home immediately, and David wanted to ask how the security department was prepared. He also wanted to know how many people he had recruited.

Paul Hospital Room, River City Hospital

Gordon and Wayne were in the room with Paul when David arrived. The three of them seemed to be investigating something that might be related to David's newly established security department.

“You are here, Mr Lidell!”

Paul looked up and saw David entering the room.

Gordon and Wayne turned to look at David as well.

“Mr Lidel!”

“Mr Lidel!”

Both greet at the same time.

“Paul! How injury? When can you start working?” David walked over and asked.

“Doctor says I can leave in a few days. What do you need me to do, Mr Lidell? I'm fit to leave the hospital now, actually, I've fully recovered!” Paul answered.

“No need. Listen to your doctor, a few days won't make much of a difference. What about the security department you guys built? How many people can you recruit?”

“We've already got about a dozen confirmed people, but there are some who are still considering the offer! Maybe because the benefits feel too good to be true. If we can have current employees tell them the situation, I'm sure more people will join us.”

“Good. Then call those who have been confirmed. Make sure you filter out their characters. I don't want a crooked-minded bad guy working in my security department.”

“Don't worry, Mr Lidell! The people I contact are all reliable people. We may be mercenaries, but our main duty has always been to protect our employer rather than carry out assassination missions. If anything, we are mortal enemies with killing mercenaries, because their goal is to kill the people we are supposed to protect.”

“It's good, then. Make sure they're good people. There are laws in this country, and it would be troublesome to explain them to the authorities if we end up recruiting international fugitives. These people you recruited will be under your leadership. You are the head of the security department.”

“I understand! Thank you, Mr. Lidell!”

“We can start with an initial salary of ten million a year for the head of the department, the bonus will be calculated differently. Other employees can start with a million a year, and I'll give you a pay raise as I can. What say?” ask David.

The eyes of Paul and the other two widened in disbelief at David's suggestion.

‘Initial salary of one million a year for new child and ten million for Paul as Head of Department?’

Twelve of them only made over ten million despite working abroad for many years. Not to mention that this is money that you can get from risking your life.

However, Paul could make that kind of money in just a year.

Not to mention the situation at home would be much better than abroad. It was common to stay up for a few days without sleeping even when they were on missions abroad. They danced on the line between life and death during that mission, not knowing when they would take their last breath. Compared to that, the situation inside the country was basically heaven.

“Mr... Mr. Lidell! Isn't that a little overdone?” Paul asked.

This felt like too good a payday for mercenaries like them.

“Not at all! I'll raise your salary if you do your job well.”

“Then I will thank my brothers before, Mr Lidell! Thank you!” Paul said with gratitude.

Then David turned to Wayne and Gordon. “I have a mission for both of you.”

“Please, Mr Lidell!” Wayne and Gordon said at the same time.

“Give me your bank account details later, I will transfer five million to both of you first as your annual payment. Go home and take care of your family business, then go to Springfield and protect East League International general manager Pearl Warmer. He'll move and I'm afraid someone might notice him.”

“Yes, Mr Lidell! But five million is too much, one million base salary is enough!”

“I've decided to give you five million, so just accept it. You two will be considered senior employees by the time people join the security department, it's only natural that you get a better salary.”

“Thank you, Mr Lidell!” They did not reject David anymore.

David leaves after transferring the money to Wayne and Gordon's accounts, but not before he tells Paul to run the department. With the increasing number of East League International Investments businesses, the underlying dangers are bound to exist, and David needs the security department to get up and running as quickly as possible.

Paul and the other two shared their views after David left. They understand how they feel about each other. They wish the twelve of them had returned to the country and met David instead of accepting their final mission. That way they would be able to fight and relax together.
