“I had called a local real estate agency in Pearl Island City ahead of time and had told them that the quicker they could get everything sorted, the higher the bonus will be. Soon, they had all the paperwork ready for me and had found the perfect vehicles. All the vehicles were brand new. That Quadriga Phantom was recently acquired by a car rental company and hadn’t even been used yet, but I doubled the price and bought it.” Fishy Wells still looked a bit pained when she recalled this.
Finn Lewis almost laughed. However, it would certainly be a spectacle if the students from the University of T learned that their former classmate, Fishy Wells, was now throwing around money like it grew on trees.
“Well done. Haha, you guys’ bonuses will be doubled this month,” Finn Lewis waved his hand and said with a grin.
Though Fragrant River was now back under the Flame Nation’s rule, the one country, two systems principle made it virtually indistinguishable from other countries. Finn Lewis didn’t ask how the cars got into the airport. In this place, as long as you have the money, there will always be someone willing to do these things for you. The ordinary passengers on the plane, however, were somewhat curious, wondering which wealthy young heir had opted for this commercial flight.
Once onto the Quadriga, a total of twelve Ice Horses were boarded by Finn Lewis’s bodyguards. This time, Finn Lewis was being quite ostentatious. Prior to leaving, he had purposely exchanged twenty T-800s in addition to the two T-looos he kept. Now, Finn Lewis’s credits had dropped to 330,000.
Twenty-two bodyguards boarded the twelve Ice Horses. Then, the thirteen vehicles swiftly drove towards the city center. “Despite the fact that you might not be around often, I still purchased a villa for you in Repulse Bay. As far as the price…”
“No need to tell me the price, you can just remember it. You’ve been with me for so long, Fishy Wells, but you still haven’t learned. In the future, you will have to handle numerous businesses. There is no use in telling me about such minor expenditures. Just ensure you keep track of them in the financial account,” Finn Lewis waved his hand and commanded dismissively.
“Yes.” Fishy Wells hesitated momentarily but eventually nodded her head.
Recently, Fisher Wells and the other girls hadn’t been doing much, and Finn
Lewis had also been very busy. They claimed to be full-time assistants, but Finn often didn’t take them with him. They understood that they were merely individuals hired by Finn Lewis. In other words, they meant nothing at all.
However, the topic they talked about most in their free time was naturally Finn Lewis. The eccentricities of their young master intrigued them. Initially, they
knew Finn Jewis held of Company A’s stocks- despite their immense
value, they were baffered by how Finn Lewis had obtained so many funds without selling these stocks?
After all, Finn Lewis had been purchasing many assets recently, and they had no idea where the money came from. Every time they met him, his character seemed different from before without them being able to pinpoint exactly how it had changed.
“Let’s go do some shopping. I mean, we’re not that tired anyway.” Once they were in downtown, Finn Lewis pondered it and suggested. He planned to travel tonight, so he may as well go shopping and finish it sooner rather than later. When Finn said he wanted to shop, Fishy Wells and the others naturally didn’t object. However, after Mutty Wells had told the driver, he responded quickly but in Cantonese, which Finn Lewis didn’t understand.
“What did he say?” Finn asked Jim Lewis who was seated in the passenger seat.
“Sir, he said if we were to go shopping, we would have to detour around. The Central district is blocked off,” Jim Lewis responded.
“Blocked off? Why?” Finn raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
This is a plotline in which Finn visits Port City, spots some militant protesters on the streets, uses money to smash up their operation, and exposes the ugliness behind their so-called fight for freedom.

This editor had no scruples and stuck Finn with the label of a “prodigal son.” Even though it was in quotations, many of the readers below were swept up in the heat of the moment. Furthermore, this news quickly spread to major domestic websites. The terrifying size of Company T’s user base was revealed at this moment.
Moreover, IVY had simply reposted the news from T Company and expressly indicated the source and refrained from additional comments. After all, who else besides Finn is the CEO of WY? If the comments go too far, who knew what the CEO’s character was? IAN’s editor probably wouldn’t want to be jobless the next day.
However, the readers at T Company immediately went mad. They’d never seen anyone so audacious in their country before.
After reading, all I can say is one word; freaking awesome! This is just so badass! From today onwards, I’m playing WY’s games! Mr. Finn, I salute you,” a user wrote.
“Awesome! Incredible! No freaking way! All the rich second and third generation kids, the show-offs among us, look! We’re all rich, but why is the gap so enormous? Although they’re rich and show off just like us, I must admit, I enjoy watching these kinds of rich people flaunt their wealth! Crap! I’ll follow any rich person who behaves like this!”
“6666666666666, I’m floored. I think this should be posted on micro research to shut up those who usually like to flaunt their wealth.”
“I couldn’t agree more with the comment above.”
Finn Lewis himself hadn’t expected to go viral on the internet. Or more accurately, he became a hot topic. Many IVY players knew about Papa Finn’s previous matters involving “the world.” and they all brought it back up again. Many began calling Finn Lewis “Prodigal Bro.”
Many of Fragrant River’s wealthiest residents had seen this news, but they were rather speechless. People of their class and status tended to distance themselves from such matters, and they were afraid of being associated with such incidents. They were businessmen and it could be terrifying when politics got intertwined with their line of work. Most had barely come out of hiding for such a long time, even the wealthiest individual in Fragrant River had only made one appearance.
It’s rare to see someone as high-profile as Finn Lewis. However, this was a bad time for the rich second generation in the country who usually loved to show off their wealth. Especially those few renowned wealthy second generations on micro research, they were bombarded by countless fans. Initially, they were puzzled about what had happened. But when they learned about the incident, they were stunned.
They all wanted to cry but had no tears. Holy cow, really? Although we may show off our wealth casually, or post pictures of luxury cars and mansions, we simply can’t just casually throw away 50 million Federal coins! Who can compete with him?!
Once Finn Lewis arrived back at his villa, he received a call from Mr. M. As soon as the call went through, Mr. M couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Hey,
Prodigal Bro, why don’t you open up a micro research account in T Company?”
“Prodigal Bro? What’s the joke behind that?” Finn Lewis asked, sounding a bit perplexed and speechless..
