Chapter 118: Charity Ball (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wesley drove his sports car directly onto the highway and drove at high speed. It was late afternoon when he came out and he rushed home for dinner. Mindy was happy to have her brother back and gave him a hug in high spirits.

Mindy and Annabelle were now Internet celebrities. Their game persona had appeared, and publicity was in progress. Every subsequent hero would be promoted, and of course, the publicity was limited to their own platforms. The development of TT began to spread to the world, and the cooperative companies all got the right to use it. Otherwise, Wesley would not have gotten 30% of their shares.

There seemed to be a lot of shares, but the value of the shares was related to the market value. The market value of these companies varied, but they were generally not too high. Then, after they used TT and issued League of Legends, the market value would soar. In this way, the shares they paid would be insignificant.

Wesley sat down at the table with Mindy in his arms. Hannah brought him cutlery and the family began to eat dinner. Annabelle actually had a grilled fish today. It hadn’t been hungry since it arrived, and it was starting to put on a little weight, but it looked a lot cuter than before.

“How long can you stay this time?” Carlos asked as he ate.

“I’m not sure, but I can spend the summer with Mindy. Does Mindy want to go somewhere?” Wesley asked.

“I don’t know, where is it fun? Or I can go to the florist. It’s very comfortable there. I can learn. I joined the flower arranging club.” Mindy blinked her big eyes. She was really sensible.

“It doesn’t matter. You can learn it anytime. Just tell me where you want to go. I can go and play.”

“There’s no hurry. Let Mindy choose herself. Let’s eat first!” Hannah said with a smile.

Early the next morning, Wesley checked on Mindy’s recent training. When he wasn’t at home, Carlos was in charge of Mindy’s training. It seemed to be working, and Wesley was satisfied. Although it was comfortable to be home, he didn’t forget his mission. After breakfast, Carlos and Hannah went to the flower shop, and Mindy was playing League of Legends on the Internet. Although her heroes weren’t released, Mindy was still playing games with her classmates.

Wesley picked up the phone and called Kyle Robert directly. “Kyle, do you know this man Gilson Marbury?”

“Oh, I know. A real estate developer. He lives in New York, but his business is in many places in the country. He has some assets, but I heard that he secretly does some arms business.”

“You know a lot?” Wesley asked in surprise.

“Oh, boss, I used to work in New York. And this guy is very ostentatious. He often holds charity receptions. Basically, the billionaires in the United States will receive his invitation.”

“So you have his invitation in your hand now?”

“Yes, he sent it to you, but haven’t you never been interested in these things?”

“No, I’m interested this time. Send me the invitation immediately. I’m going to attend the cocktail party in two days.”

“Understood. The invitation will be sent to your house tomorrow morning.”

Wesley put down the phone and smiled confidently. He didn’t believe that he didn’t have an invitation. As one of the most influential people in the United States, a company that had just been established a year ago estimated its market value to be close to 100 billion dollars. Although they were in the online industry and many people felt that the market value of his company was another bubble economy, those who knew it well knew that the market value was not high.

Although League of Legends is very well-publicized, the real value is TT. Now, TT has a customer base of hundreds of millions and it is still growing. These users are wealth. For someone like Gilson Marbury, who is good at taking advantage of others, how can he not send himself an invitation? Yes, he is taking advantage of others. Don’t think that only Chinese people like to pull strings, and Americans are the same, and the cocktail party is such an important event.

There are too many charity receptions in the United States. This is not only an opportunity to build relationships, but also a way to avoid taxes. Capitalists are not really that kind. When they hear that someone has established a charity fund with all their property, they are excited, but they are just saving their property in a different way. Their children can get a high inheritance without paying a high inheritance tax, and this is a fund. Of course, some of it will be used for charity, but most of it will be enjoyed by themselves.

Wesley did not feel anything about this. After all, this was allowed by American law. No one could say anything if it was not illegal, but Wesley would not do this himself. It meant nothing to him. He would rather pay taxes. Taxes in the United States were annual, but Wesley had always taken the initiative to pay taxes. He did not have to wait until the new year. According to the Chinese thinking, he was light without debts.

Philip had not asked Wesley that question. Whatever his boss said, he said. That was what Wesley admired most about him.

With the whereabouts of the invitation, Wesley had nothing to do and went straight to play League of Legends with Mindy. It had to be said that Tibby was talented and could use all kinds of heroes with ease. If Wesley did not use his special ability to make his heart beat, he would still be a loser. He did not understand this at all. Now that his body had been strengthened, shouldn’t his reaction and hand speed be heaven-defying?

“Apple, why is my League of Legends still so lousy?” Wesley had to ask Apple.

“Your combat ability has indeed improved after the physical enhancement, but your fingers are too stiff. If you want to become an expert, let me control your hands in your place.”

“Then what am I going to do?” Wesley said helplessly. He can only speed up his heartbeat during the team battle to increase his hand speed. This is mainly because he doesn’t want to be despised by his sister.

With Wesley’s ‘cheat’, Mindy began her ranking trip in high spirits. She won more than a dozen games in a day, which made her very diligent. She even threw away the idea of going out to play. She wanted to play games at home during the holidays.

When the invitation arrived the next day, Wesley picked it up and looked at it. It was a good invitation, generous, beautiful, and of some class. It seemed that this man was interesting, but it had nothing to do with him. He was just going to steal from him. Putting the invitation down, Wesley once again devoted himself to his journey with Mindy, but he used his powers a little too much and made Wesley eat a lot at night. But Hannah was happy. She thought Wesley liked her cooking.
