Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

Although Henry's ill-gotten gains were smaller in scale and his background was stronger;

However, if one aspect is not handled properly, future career development will definitely encounter numerous obstacles.

Even within the California consortium alone, there are probably quite a few people who want to ostracize him.

"Welcome home, Master Henry!"

It's so nice to see you again!

At 7 p.m. on July 31, as the afterglow of the setting sun filled the sky, an Apache helicopter slowly landed on the dedicated helipad on Getty Island.

As the sound of the rotors gradually subsided, Henry, escorted by Liam and several other bodyguards, calmly stepped off the helicopter.

He looked around, and the familiar scenery filled him with an indescribable sense of warmth.

"Oh, little William, I miss you very much too!"

"It's been a while, and your temples have gotten quite gray!"

Henry looked in the direction of the sound and quickly recognized the tall figure standing in the afterglow of the setting sun.

That man was none other than William II, the second son of William, his grandfather Paul Getty's chief bodyguard and old butler.

From a young age, Wilhelm II and his three brothers were trained by the family to become the third generation of stewards.

Now, with the change of power within the family, he has successfully taken over his father's mantle and become the new head butler of the Getty family.

William II, dressed in a traditional butler's uniform, stepped forward with a smile and bowed, saying, "Haha, yes, Master Henry, you are always so thoughtful."

My father has been talking about you a lot lately!

He'd be so happy to know you've returned safely.

"Old William?"

Will he still think about me?

You're kidding me.

Henry smiled slightly, though he couldn't help but recall the weathered yet majestic figure of old William.

The other party is the Night Guardian of the Getty family and the founder of the family's security system.

He was also the godson of Henry's great-grandfather.

It was thanks to his fierce protection that Paul Getty was able to stand firm in that turbulent era and become a giant in the oil industry.

"How has he been feeling lately?"

Will my old injury to my right shoulder recur?

"Old William is in good health and still exercises every day."

William II noticed the genuine concern in Henry's eyes and replied respectfully, his tone carrying a hint of intimacy.

"He often reminisces about your childhood, especially that time..."

"That time?"

Henry didn't react for a moment upon hearing this, but smiled and urged, "Tell me about it."

"Do you remember the Christmas Eve when you were ten years old?"

Wilhelm II began his narration, "Old William had just returned from a dangerous mission and was exhausted."

But you insisted on accompanying him to inspect the security of the manor.

You followed behind him, carrying a small wooden sword, saying you would protect him.

Upon hearing this, a look of realization flashed across Henry's eyes: "Oh, is that what it is!"

I remember that wooden sword; it was a gift from my grandfather for my birthday.

Old William was so exhausted he could barely stand, but I insisted on staying with him until the very last lap before going home to sleep.

"Yes, you accompanied old William on three full laps that night."

Wilhelm II continued, "Although old William was very tired at the time, he felt extremely gratified."

He said it was one of the most unforgettable nights of his life because a little knight was protecting him.

"Old William has always taken good care of me."

Henry remarked, "I must go see him later."

"Excellent, Master Henry!"

Wilhelm II smiled sincerely. "I believe that old Wilhelm will be very pleased to see you..."

As they talked, the two walked slowly and familiarly out of the tarmac.

The setting sun cast its warm glow upon them, adding a touch of tenderness to their conversation.

From the air, Getty Island resembles an emerald set in the azure sea. Its irregular oval shape covers an area of ​​approximately 9.83 square miles (about 24 square kilometers), almost one-sixth the size of Singapore.

This is not only the private domain of the Getty family, but also a micro-autonomous community that combines luxury and security, with a permanent population of over 10,000. More than 3,000 of them are security and service personnel who form the core support team on the island, while the rest are their families, living together in this peaceful utopia.

The island is surrounded by lush tropical plants, which intertwine with the solid natural rock walls to create a magnificent natural landscape.

However, this is not only a gift from nature, but also a crystallization of human wisdom—the man-made fortifications are perfectly integrated with it, building an indestructible natural barrier for the island.

To ensure security, there are only three entrances to the island: the northern helipad is for family members and VIPs only;

The private dock on the east side only allows vessels that have undergone strict vetting to dock;

The only route connecting to the mainland is an elevated bridge in the south, which is equipped with advanced monitoring equipment and patrol teams stationed around the clock to ensure that every vehicle entering and every passerby undergoes strict checks.

Furthermore, a patrol fleet has been deployed off the island, patrolling the waters day and night to prevent any unauthorized vessels from approaching.

Underwater, a sophisticated sonar system is constantly on alert for potential threats, and neither divers nor small submarines can escape its monitoring.

Along the coastline, a series of seemingly natural obstacles actually conceal hidden dangers—sharp rocks, intricate underwater traps, and concealed infrared detectors—together form an invisible defense line, posing significant obstacles to any attempt to illegally intrude.

Delve deeper into the island, and you'll find that the design prioritizes both comfort and safety and privacy.

Along the road leading from the helipad to the Getty family’s magnificent main residence, there are several seemingly ordinary but actually highly guarded checkpoints. These checkpoints are equipped with the most advanced security technology and staffed by experienced security personnel to ensure the authenticity of every visitor’s identity and to respond quickly to emergencies.

The entire island is divided into nine functional zones, with the main family residence, which blends modern and classical styles, standing in the center, surrounded by exquisite residences prepared for family members and VIPs.

Further out are detached villas for security and service personnel, as well as a range of high-end amenities, including a medical center, schools, shopping malls, golf courses, private beaches, and swimming pools.

Every building, every corner, and even the most inconspicuous path is covered with cameras and motion sensors, creating a seamless surveillance network.

Here, technology and nature coexist harmoniously, providing not only an absolutely safe haven for the Getty family but also an ideal living environment for all residents.
