American winner takes all

Chapter 392 Blacklist (Part )

"Little St. James Island?" Ethan said without any surprise.

Who doesn’t know the famous XX Island?
"So it seems that you have also been invited?" Wayne Huey nodded immediately.

Apparently, he miscalculated about Ethan's relationship with Epstein.

Perhaps in his opinion, there may be no difference between the two, and it is only natural for them to be the same.

Ethan thought about the "task" assigned to him by his family to investigate the relationship between Epstein and the American Chain Sect. He had to break into the "enemy" this time, so he responded with a smile: "He is always very hospitable to us. ?"

"His social circle is getting wider and wider, and more and more people among the most powerful and wealthy people on the planet have become his guests." Huey once added with a sigh.

"For example, members of the British royal family?" Ethan nodded.

"Not only that, but also the heirs of the German Duke of Lauenburg and the Duke of Arenberg, Princess Diana's brother, and even the descendants of family companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Heineken, and Koch are entrusting him with asset management."

"After all, he has a close relationship with 'Mr. Big Dog'..." The corners of Ethan's mouth rose.

The commander-in-chief has a nickname in the community, called "big dog"

"The answer is correct, but don't forget, there are also Pastrana Arango of Colombia, Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei and..." Huizenga added a few more names, and then He muttered: "This brat doesn't know what kind of magic he has."

"He doesn't have any magic power. The girl who does have magic power is the girl next to him." Ethan said contemptuously.

The above-mentioned ones are all top figures who dominate their respective fields. To this extent, what have you not seen before?

"Who knows," Huey once added, looking like he, like the golden retriever, had little interest in that kind of stuff.

Next, the two began to talk about business. Huizenga was willing to invest money in the construction of the Angels' stadium. It is expected to build a magnificent stadium with more than 60000 seats. Although it is still far from the largest stadium at present, Ethan said I am satisfied, after all, it can be expanded later.

In return, Huizenga will enjoy a share of the stadium's revenue, plus he will be jointly responsible for stadium management with the Angels. With his joining, Ethan will have no worries about stadium rental business outside the league.

As for helping the Dolphins upgrade their cheerleading squad, these are rather trivial issues.

Although the negotiations between the two went extremely smoothly, it was already dark by the time some details were finalized, and the final start date for the stadium construction was set for early next month.

Then Huizenga naturally invited Ethan to accompany him to the dinner prepared by Epstein. Before leaving, Huizenga asked his young female companion to stay and entertain Kelsey, but Ethan declined and asked his driver Peter to take Kelsey directly to the hotel.

"Then I'll wait for you at the hotel." Kelsey nodded.

Then Ethan and Huizenga drove to the famous "Mar-a-Lago".

On the court, Ethan was able to sort out the relationship between Huizenga, Golden Retriever, and Epstein.

Huizenga did not know Epstein at first, but since the Golden Retriever bought Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, the two became neighbors. Later, they met Epstein through the Golden Retriever. As for Epstein How Stan and the Golden Retriever met, he didn't know.

On the way, Ethan saw a lot of security personnel covertly and covertly surrounding Mar-a-Lago. It was obvious that not many dignitaries were present tonight.

Ethan asked about the purpose of this gathering tonight.

"It was Ghislaine Maxwell's birthday dinner. Celebrities from the United States and Europe gathered together, including dignitaries, businessmen, models, agents, and of course, athletes." Wexner said.

It sounds like he is a key figure, otherwise Epstein would not have prepared a birthday dinner for him, let alone such a dignitary attending. In order to avoid revealing the truth, Ethan was not in a position to ask.

After getting off the car, the two walked across the red carpet and were led out by waiters. Now the vast open-air hall of Mar-a-Lago has been transformed into a luxurious party venue.

The long tables on both sides were filled with a dazzling array of delicacies. Men and women in evening gowns were standing or sitting, holding wine glasses with each other and chatting happily. There was a DJ playing trendy low electronic music in the corner. It could be seen that the party was not very formal, and most of the people were wearing casual clothes.

Huizenga picked up a glass of wine from the tray in the passing waiter's hand and left directly...

Ethan looked around and found his target smoothly. The golden retriever's broad figure with blond hair was particularly conspicuous here.

Ethan walked straight towards him.

"haven't seen you for a long time……"

The big golden retriever turned back, then was stunned, frowning slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with Ethan: "I didn't expect you to be here too."

He enthusiastically introduced Ethan to several of his friends.

"Tom Barak. Private equity manager and close friend who has been my advisor for many years." The golden retriever introduced Ethan.

After complimenting each other without any information, the golden retriever quickly pulled Ethan aside.

"You brat! I told you not to cause trouble for my daughter!" The golden retriever looked a little angry.

Ethan was puzzled, then shook his head: "I have never even met your daughter."

"Stop pretending, do I still know what you are thinking? Tell me, how did you contact him?" The big golden retriever grabbed Ethan's collar directly.

He looked like he was going to fight with Ethan, and this time it seemed that he was really angry.

Maybe if it were Knaus, he wouldn't be so angry.

"Your daughter is not in Los Angeles. You must have misunderstood." Ethan said again.

After asking a few more questions, the angry expression of the big golden retriever suddenly relaxed, and then he took the initiative to smooth the wrinkles on Ethan's clothes.

"I have to find out the truth. So I may be a little nervous." The golden retriever explained.

Ethan asked what exactly happened at this time, and then learned from Golden Retriever that his baby daughter secretly went to the Angels' New York division to participate in the audition, and successfully advanced.

Ethan was surprised, but when he thought about it carefully, the eldest princess was also a model in addition to studying, so it was not too surprising to be promoted.

As for the reason for her participation in the competition, Ethan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. It couldn't be to experience life, right? She obviously doesn't lack the resources of the Angels. Besides, his father will definitely not agree with the way he is now.

It seems that the father and daughter are in some kind of disagreement now? It's even possible that the eldest princess did this intentionally to fight against her father?
After figuring this out, Ethan vaguely felt that there was something to be done.

So he smiled and said, "You don't want your daughter to join, right?"

"Otherwise? That's my daughter. It's simply ridiculous to let her mix with those women from civilian backgrounds." The golden retriever didn't even think about it. In his opinion, it is undoubtedly scandalous for his daughter to join the Angels cheerleading team. The first time he heard about this incident, he called his daughter and scolded her. Unexpectedly, her daughter disappeared in anger and deliberately played hide-and-seek with him.

"That's easy. Not only will I not let her join the cheerleading team, I will also cut her off and help you find her. But the premise is that you have to do me a favor. Don't forget, you promised before Me what."

"You want to land on the island?" The golden retriever realized something.

"Yes."

"Cowboy, you finally figured it out." The golden retriever showed an ambiguous smile.

If you can squeeze into Epstein's circle, you will have access to the world's most powerful people.

"This matter will be taken care of by me." The golden retriever patted his chest, looking confident.

Ethan took advantage of the situation and asked how he and Epstein met.

It turned out that Tom Barak, the consultant that Golden Retriever introduced to Ethan just now, was the middleman between the two. The relationship between the two had lasted for ten years. In the early 1990s, Epstein began to hold parties for Golden Retriever. The guests at that party were the NFL Bills cheerleaders.

Epstein knew the golden retriever’s ex-wife Ivana (the mother and daughter have the same name, and the current name XX card is the Slavic pronunciation of Ivana), as well as Knaus, and even the eldest princess herself.

Now the two are not only friends, but also business partners. Epstein, a social butterfly, had deep connections in various fields, and the Golden Retriever’s real estate business required support from the banking industry. Epstein would often act as a middleman to help the Golden Retriever negotiate projects with banks, and the Golden Retriever would provide him with luxury homes. If the relationship between the two is not good, Golden Retriever will not do this. As a businessman, every investment is for future returns.

With his introduction, Ethan felt that the task arranged by his family was already a certainty.

Then the golden retriever introduced Ethan to a group of important guests at this party.

Although the middle-aged people on the left are dressed casually and behave in a casual manner, they don't look like ordinary people.

Alan Dershowitz, the top lawyer in the industry who successfully exonerated Simpson, has also handled the Tyson case, the Pentagon secret documents case, and the United States presidential election case. He is currently the honorary dean of Harvard Law School.

The person next to this old man has an even greater background, Larry Summers, the current Minister of Household Affairs.

"I heard that after retiring, he will return to Harvard University and serve as president." The golden retriever continued.

The golden retriever introduced the remaining people one by one, including the communications director of the White House, the deputy attorney general, the person in charge of transportation, and the New York senator.

Ethan was frightened when he heard this, and immediately asked the golden retriever about the other group of people.

This group of people just made Ethan feel at ease.

Kevin Spacey, Dustin Hoffman, Elizabeth Hurley, Lauren Hutton, several Hollywood stars, as well as Bob Weinstein, the younger brother of Harvey Weinstein and the comic book Former CEO Eric Ellenbogen, and well-known director Woody Allen.

The focus of the group was a woman. She was wearing a dark-colored skirt and looked quite elegant.

"Peggy Siegel, a well-known publicist in Hollywood. Responsible for promoting movies for Oscar judges and critics. A woman who many directors and producers in Hollywood fawn over."

A Hollywood publicist? Ethan really didn't know that such a person existed, and he felt it was necessary to get to know him.

Not far from this group of people are media professionals including the editor of Time magazine, the American editor of Vouge, the international president of the New York Times Company, the editor of Vanity Fair, the CEO of Warner Music Group, and the chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine. …

In addition, there were actually some scientists whom even the Golden Retriever didn’t recognize. They only mentioned Gerald Edelman, who had won the Nobel Prize.

As for Huizenga, he was communicating with a young man.

"His name is Pete Soros, the nephew of George Soros." The golden retriever said.

There are also several business tycoons, so I won’t go into details one by one.

Of course, there are also a few socialites and courtesans who look like butterflies in flowers. They wander around and use all means to expand their social circles.

Several of them have already said hello to Ethan, such as the British socialite Annabell Bond, the ancestor of the supermodel Janice Dickinson, and the female emotional columnist Bushnell Candace, who is the prototype of "Sex and the City" , and New York's most outstanding nightclub owner Amy Sacco, a serious nightclub queen.

Ethan didn’t think it was possible for these people to come here for Epstein, at least not for these women.

So, it was for the woman named Ghislaine Maxwell.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ghislaine Maxwell finally appeared not far away, and the women immediately gathered around him.

"The heir to Robert Maxwell, the founder of the British "Mirror" newspaper, his father left him a huge media empire."

The golden retriever whispered.

Ethan saw Epstein appearing with her. The two appeared together and behaved quite intimately.

Through these people present, Ethan could also get a glimpse of the wide range of contacts between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Not only did they have many circles, but they were also well-known figures in their respective fields.

"As a broker who serves big people, what he can do is quite capable." Ethan shrugged.

"Excuse me."

"do not forget……"

"Of course, I will introduce you to him after the party, but now it's queuing time." The golden retriever left Ethan and left.

Ethan hesitated for a moment, and his hesitation was seen by someone.

"Here you go." A woman with short blond hair and blue highlights came over and offered Ethan a glass of wine.

She had just greeted Ethan, the top nightclub owner from New York, Amy Sacco.

"Relax, young man, is there anyone you want to meet, would you like me to introduce you to them?" Amy Sacco said very enthusiastically.

"Thank you, no need." Ethan didn't come to the party in the first place, so he felt at ease alone.

"Follow me." She directly grabbed Ethan's arm and led him forward.

"Big guy, you're really heavy! Like a truck, you won't crush the girl at night, right? Now that I think about it, it seems like this is really the case." The corners of her mouth raised, remembering Ethan and Kate a long time ago News from the Mousse Room…

　It took too long to look up the information and the update was late. (There will be a trip to the island later)
