Chapter 42: Target One Billion! (Second Update Seeking Recommendation)

  "One hundred million US dollars, it's actually not difficult." Lin Xiao said.

  Why isn't it difficult? It's only natural that Franklin is about to accept his second assassination mission, assassinating the four jurors bought by Redwood Tobacco, causing Redwood Tobacco's stock to plummet, while their rival, Debonair's stock will surge, with a rise similar to Beta Pharmaceuticals. More importantly, after this, Redwood Tobacco's stock will not only rebound but also skyrocket, with an astonishing increase of 300%.

  "If I invest 132.8 million in Debonair now, and sell it when the price rises by 80%, I will get a principal of 2390.04 million. Then, I can buy stocks of Hongmu Tobacco Industry, and when the price rises by 300%, I can sell them to get a principal of 9561.06 million, which is just over 400 million short of 100 million!"

  Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, shining with a captivating light.

  "If I take advantage of this period and make some more money back, the principal will increase, so maybe by then it will directly reach 100 million!"

  Is 100 million US dollars a lot?

  Perhaps in the past, Lin Xiao thought that this was an astronomical figure, which he could not earn in his lifetime. However, now he has confidence to earn this amount of money within a month.

  ……

  The next day, Lin Xiao took 3 million US dollars to the Kaiwei Royal Palace. With his current 8-point combat strength, he wasn't afraid of being targeted, so he directly exchanged the 3 million for chips. Within a short hour, his 3 million had turned into 5 million. Three hours later, when he left the casino, he had an additional check for 10 million in his hand. If it weren't for the fact that no one was willing to gamble with him anymore and the casino sent someone to negotiate with him, he wouldn't have left so early.

  Even so, he just strolled around inside for a while and his hands had already increased by 70 million. This kind of money-making speed is really enviable.

  However, the larger casinos all have their own resident gambling masters. If Lin Xiao continues to be so arrogant, they will personally come out to deal with him. At that time, relying on his mere 4th-level gambling skills, he won't have any chance of winning. Fortunately, Lin Xiao mainly targets those wealthy gamblers and not the casino's money itself. Otherwise, how could he have easily won 7 million? Do you think the people running the casinos are idiots?

  He put away the check, seemingly putting it into his pocket, but in reality, he had stored it in the system space.

  Walking towards the parking lot, it was still after 4 pm, but there was not a single person in the parking lot. Instinctively, Lin Xiao felt that something was off.

  "Come out, I know you're there!" Lin Xiao stopped in his tracks and shouted forward.

  "Bang bang bang!"

  A burst of applause came from the back of a van not far away, followed by a string of footsteps coming from several other directions, and dozens of people appeared in the parking lot.

  "As expected, Mr. Lin is indeed a man who dares to rob a jewelry store, his courage surpasses that of ordinary people!"

  A middle-aged man dressed in bright and shiny clothes walked out from behind these people, standing at the very front, with a smiling face looking at Lin Xiao.

  "Who are you?" Lin Xiao asked aloud.

  The other party immediately exposed his robbery of the jewelry store, obviously having investigated him beforehand. This time, bringing so many people over, it was clear that they were well-prepared, but Lin Xiao didn't recognize the other party.

  "You can call me Devan." The other party said with a smile.

  "Devon?" Lin Xiao pondered over this name in his heart, and suddenly, he thought of a person. "The Devon who controlled half of Melirwiser?"

  "You've actually heard of me!"

  Devin was apparently surprised that Lin Xiao knew who he was and couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

  "Of course, I've heard of you." Lin Xiao carefully sized up the people behind Devan. They were all tall and muscular, with different types of guns holstered on their legs, waists, and backs, clearly a well-trained team.

  "Mr. DeVaan, I didn't expect that in order to catch me, a small Lin Xiao, you would actually mobilize an entire Meriwether special forces unit. Don't you think this is making a big deal out of something small?" Lin Xiao said, pointing at the people.

  "No, no, no! I think this is not a small matter, Mr. Lin, have you forgotten that last time you single-handedly took down my eight subordinates? I don't want to lose again for the second time." DeVaan said with a smile, shaking his head.

  "Alright, Mr. Lin, let's not continue with these pointless conversations. I hope you can hand over the check in your possession to me, and also, I'd like to invite you to my place for a chat about some cooperative matters. You won't refuse such a sincere invitation, will you?"

  "Hmm! What if I say no?" Lin Xiao said coldly.

  "Oh~! I really don't want to see a bloody scene, so Mr. Lin, you'd better agree." DeVaan was clearly full of confidence, believing that the Lin Xiao in front of him, no matter how capable he was, couldn't possibly withstand the elite special forces team by his side, and besides, the opponent didn't even have any firearms on him, just bare fists, what unexpected event could possibly occur?

  "Is that so?" Lin Xiao suddenly laughed, "Unfortunately, I'm a person who's never liked being threatened, so I'll still choose to say no!"

  "Mr. Lin, I'm afraid you've made a wrong decision." DeVant's face turned ugly, "Take him away for me, and remember, I want him alive!"

  "Yes, boss!"

  "Yan Tou, Shen Tan, you two go and catch that little brat!" The captain of the team ordered his two subordinates, thinking that the opponent was just a small, unarmed guy who didn't look like much of a threat. After all, it was just a jewelry store robbery, what's there to be afraid of?

  Yan Tou and Shen Tan were two tall white men, about 2 meters in height. They exchanged a glance, then smiled slyly at each other as they walked towards Lin Xiao.

  Whoosh!

  That rock-headed man pulled out a two-foot long battle knife from his leg, and rushed towards Lin Xiao with a ferocious smile: "You little brat, if you don't want me to poke several holes in your body, then kneel down obediently for me!"

  In response, Lin Xiao gave him a cold stare.

  "Idiot!" Lin Xiao said disdainfully.

  "What did you say!" Yán Tóu gritted his teeth and roared, the veins on his neck bursting out.

  "I'm telling you, idiot!" Lin Xiao repeated, "Did you hear that clearly?"

  How could that rockhead possibly endure the insults of a mere child in his own eyes, and he immediately bellowed and charged over.

  "I'm going to kill you!"
