The Dark King: the Wealthiest Man in the Country

Chapter 2: 100 Million Pocket Money

Looking at the balance in his account, Flores fell into memories.

Five years ago, he was exiled and hunted by his family, nearly dead in unknown lands. Fortunately, a mysterious old man saved him and spent the next two years imparting all his lifelong knowledge to him. Then, he passed on the position of King of Malia Palace to Flores. But there was one condition—he had to be the Wilson family's son-in-law for three years.

‘Now, three years have passed. The ban is lifted. I will reclaim every bit of the humiliation from these three years!’

Meanwhile, at the Wilson Mansion, the investment banquet was officially underway.

In the hall, Ladyship Wilson looked around at the elite guests, laughing as she said, "Wilson Group would not have gotten where it is now without the help of our friends in Sebria. Now everyone, please introduce the friends you invited here tonight to us!"

Her words caused a sensation in the living room. According to tradition, whoever invited the most distinguished guest to the Thanksgiving Day party and secured an investment would receive the largest share of resources this year.

"Grandma, I've had the privilege of inviting Tesla's regional manager and got an investment of 1 million dollarsUS$1,000,000."

"Grandma! This year, I've invited the vice president of Google's local branch and got a 1.5 million-dollar investment to the family."

...

While the members of the Wilson family vied to introduce their guests, Ladyship Wilson shook hands with the investors one by one. Soon, there were only two people left.

They were Ethan and Stella.

"Grandma, the investor I've invited is Mr. Hill." Ethan was the first to step forward.

"Great! Thank you, Mr. Hill, for investing 8 million dollars in the Wilson Group!" After Ladyship Wilson thanked Tomas again, she felt more disgusted with Stella standing in the corner because she was unwilling to get a divorce.

Seeing Ladyship Wilson's disgusted expression, Ethan sneered, "Heh, Stella, isn't it time for your grand final show? With your beauty, I believe you can build up many connections." He was insinuating she sold her body to build up connections, and so she had good performances and could compete with him.

"You!" Stella glared at Ethan through gritted teeth. Her father was a gambler and not valued by Ladyship Wilson. Despite her hard work and excellent performance over the years, she received very few resources from the family. So how could she attract big shots?

Ethan loudly asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you invite guests this year?" He wanted Stella to be humiliated in front of the investors so she could no longer fight against him in the company.

Stella lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly. Especially when she saw Ladyship Wilson and the investors shake their heads in disappointment, she felt like a dagger in her heart.

Suddenly, the door opened. Then, two men appeared. 

One was Flores, who had just been kicked out of the Wilson family. The other was an decent and noble older man.

"I’m Andrew Cooper from Langel Ykre City. I’m here by invitation." Andrew Cooper stood with his hands behind his back, surveying the crowd in the mansion. His voice was majestic and loud. "I'm good friends with Flores and have come specifically to bring 10 million dollars in investment to the Wilson family!"
