America: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 206 It's so good to be rich!

Sieg drove the armored truck back to downtown Los Angeles with the two men.

Zhang Ailun chose to get off at the bridge-hole campsite, returned to the campsite to get the keys, drove his Wrangler, and headed to the recycling station on Aitou Street.

When they arrived, they saw Dominic negotiating a business deal with Parker Resources, selling them a batch of cans that had been stockpiled for several days. Gate and David were also helping out.

Upon seeing the leader arrive, Zhang Ailun greeted him warmly. Without disturbing their work, he smiled and responded before heading straight to the recycling station. There, he found the $80000 he had earned from selling coins belonging to victims of the Titanic in the safe.

After Dominic and David finished trading the jars, they returned to their room and made a record in the revenue book. Excluding the profit from selling valuable items, they had earned more than a thousand dollars just from selling jars.

Zhang Ailun took out $5000 as a bonus, intending to have Dominic pass it on to Leo.

Dominic asked curiously, "Was that glider sold? It should have been sold for $2, right?"

"It's not just $20,000; they also bought my newly purchased armed helicopter, paying me a total of $370,000," Zhang Ailun said with a smile.

Dominic was instantly shocked.

After learning the details, I couldn't help but sigh that the thoughts of the rich cannot be judged by common sense, and the gap between people is bigger than that between dogs.

After a day of hard work and various twists and turns, the leader of the organization purchased three armored armored vehicles and drones, which strengthened his power and brought his available funds to around $85.

It was getting late, and it was time to leave work, so Zhang Ailun took Dominic and David to the supermarket to buy groceries after closing up shop. They then drove back to the bridge cave camp.

Blitz was also in the camp and sent the intelligence on the deployment of Heaven's Gate that he had found today to the leader. The data package was very complicated. After Zhang Ailun decrypted it, he took a look and found that the intelligence was very comprehensive.

其中包含对方使用的武器设备，催泪瓦斯、防爆盾、套索枪、柯尔特0.45ACP口径的半自动手枪、MP5系列9毫米冲锋鎗、HK33K、M177等型5.56毫米突击步枪、雷明顿700型特製狙击枪、贝内利M1Super90型战术霰弹枪、贝内利121-M-1型半自动霰弹枪，特种防火战斗服、战术背心、全黑头套、特製护目镜及凯夫拉防弹头盔等。

It also includes details about the shift schedules and handover times of each staff member, including kitchen staff and recently purchased food supplies, as well as the identities, private bank accounts, and family backgrounds of travelers.

They even discovered a mysterious private jet that lands on the mountaintop helipad every month, stays for half an hour, and then takes off back to an island in the California Sea. This way, Paradise Gate's private account will have hundreds of thousands of dollars more!

This is undoubtedly a private deal between billionaires and Paradise Gate.

This is no longer a private armed force; it's a secret military base entrenched in the mountains!

Zhang Ailun also expressed his amazement at Blitz's efficiency, wondering if this was the power of the Los Angeles hacking godfather who was once on the Department of Defense's blacklist.

They even figured out the color of his underwear! Their intelligence infiltration capabilities are terrifying!

In today's information society, as long as a person is still using a mobile phone to connect to the internet without encryption protection, then he is completely transparent and has no secrets whatsoever.

Blitz also revealed that the American Academy of Sciences had been researching the ability to read brainwaves for twenty years. At that time, the most advanced Ep3 electronic reconnaissance machine only needed to circle around a country a few times to determine a person's current status through electronic information and retrieve personal information background links from the database.

Have you been staying up late recently? Have you been coughing? What is your family background? What is your personality and temperament like? How many concubines do you have? These are all used to precisely target high-ranking officials in the military region.

It would be even more terrifying today; a miniature unmanned electronic reconnaissance aircraft equipped with advanced internal energy cultivation techniques could accomplish this. It would appear and disappear without a trace.

Blitz simply drove to the suburbs, typed out a string of code on his laptop, and diagnosed them from hundreds of kilometers away.

Zhang Ailun also sighed, saying that they were completely outmatched in terms of intelligence. The other side didn't even know that they were a threat. How could they possibly fight them?

The times have changed.

Are you still here firing your gun?

If you jump again, you'll have to thank the top donor for sending a swarm of drones and C4 bombs from thousands of miles away.

The armed nation had also finished get off work. After a hard day's work, Bailey, who was responsible for escorting goods in the city, finally got his wish and received the Fiji Cup, a reward from Jennifer, and a mold of actress Monica Bellucci.

I wonder if this kid secretly used it or not.

While enjoying barbecue and beer with his friends at the campsite, Zhang Ailun received a message from Sadie.

Sadie: Have you forgotten something?

Zhang Ailun: What?

Sadie: You promised to treat me to drinks? You can treat me to dinner, but why didn't you contact me first? Why did I have to contact you? I even helped you transport those security equipment today.

Zhang Ailun: ...

No. You're not just going there for drinks and food, are you? You're just trying to take advantage of me!

The leader immediately made an excuse: "I've been quite busy these past few days. We just closed a deal with the military region, and we're making hundreds of thousands of dollars a day now. How could I have time to drink and eat with you? I don't even have time to eat myself!"

To show sincerity, he also showed the other party his bank statement for the day.

Sadie: ? You can earn that much money in a day? You must be a millionaire by now!

Zhang Ailun: I can't compare to you.

Sadie: My family has money, but it's not all mine. I have so many brothers and sisters, I definitely won't get much. Since you're busy lately, never mind. Remember to come over and treat me to drinks another day!

Zhang Ailun: OK.

Finally, we managed to deal with this difficult older sister.

But as soon as the crisis passed, Jennifer returned, bringing with her several sisters.

The beautiful young girls immediately greeted the leader warmly, wanting to take him out shopping and sightseeing.

"It's so late, and the streets aren't safe. Where do you want to go shopping?" Zhang Ailun immediately wanted to refuse.

"Honey, do you think my sisters aren't pretty? They really want to meet you! We're going to Santa Monica Beach!"

Jennifer leaned close and whispered enticingly in the leader's ear, "Over there, there are not only bikinis and ocean-view villas, but also champagne, and all sorts of exciting games—we've got them all ready!"

Faced with Jennifer's enthusiastic invitation, Zhang Ailun looked at the several beautiful women in front of him and, after careful consideration, decided to accept.

"Renting a sea-view villa isn't cheap, is it? You just made some money yesterday, and you're going to spend it all today?" The leader criticized Jennifer's extravagant spending.

"There's a discount! Several of us are pooling our money to rent a villa, and each of us only needs to pay a few dozen dollars for 24-hour access to the oceanfront villa. The people at the rental company are old acquaintances of ours!"

Jennifer's detailed account reveals just the tip of the iceberg of West Coast socialites.

Zhang Ailun was finally relieved.

I boarded the Wrangler with a few pretty girls, waved goodbye to the people at the camp, and decided to treat myself to a night view at the beach to relax.

Sig couldn't help but complain, "I want to go too, why didn't anyone invite me?"

"Perhaps when you've bought a nice RV, established yourself on the streets, have a luxury car worth over $50,000 to drive in rotation, own several businesses with daily revenue exceeding $10,000, and have hundreds of employees working for you—with an outgoing personality, generous spending, and honesty, easily giving your employees tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses every day—then people will be eager to invite you out for trips," Dave suggested.

Sieg thought about it for a moment and realized that this thing was simply unrealistic and too difficult.

Going from a penniless homeless person to a millionaire in a short time is simply a pipe dream.

If you ask him to spend a million dollars to treat someone to a meal, he'll definitely agree because he simply doesn't have that much money. But if you ask him to spend a thousand dollars to gamble on blind boxes and make ten times the profit, he'll definitely not be willing because he actually has a thousand dollars.

After discussing it, the group concluded that the leader was too enigmatic to be imitated, and his legendary life was practically worthy of being recorded in history.

Zhang Ailun drove his Jeep Wrangler with Jennifer and her sisters to Santa Monica Beach, where the beach scenery at night was indeed beautiful. There were also several bonfire parties, and scantily clad women in bikinis running around.

Now that the leader is rich, he brought his people over and finally decided to spend money to buy tickets to the amusement park. They experienced the Ferris wheel and the water park, and took a yacht for a leisurely cruise on the sea.

I took a few alluring and refreshing photos, and an hour later I returned to the ocean-view villa that cost several hundred dollars a night.

Jennifer and her girlfriends went upstairs to change into their costumes and put on an exciting show for the leader.

Bright lights and dazzling lights.

Zhang Ailun couldn't help but sigh.

"Being rich is fucking great."

……

The next day.

The Grand Master woke up on a waterbed that was five meters long and wide, feeling like he was about to shatter.

It was as if they had been given some kind of weakness buff.

Recalling what happened yesterday, Jennifer went to great lengths to please the Grand Master, and her sisters were indeed professionals, causing Zhang Ailun to lose over 10 billion.

"Honey, get up and eat."

A voice called from downstairs. Zhang Ailun casually dressed, washed his face in the bathroom of the seaside villa, and went downstairs.

I saw a bikini-clad woman with chestnut hair, freckles, a full bust, and a hot figure arranging food on a plate. Her back was to me, and her rounded waist and hip ratio made my stomach tingle.

What was her name again...?

Zhang Ailun tried to recall the details, but found he couldn't remember at all.

All he could think of was the other person's energetic performance, their blushing face, their furrowed brows, and their biting lip, which left a deep impression on him.

The leader told her to rest, but she refused. She was extremely stubborn and only stopped when she exhausted herself to the point of fainting.

It was also from Jennifer that she learned that the other girl was different from the other sisters. She was a girl from a small town who came to the big city to make a living. She didn't even finish high school. She had worked as a dishwasher and a cashier. She had an alcoholic father, a sick mother, a brother in jail, and a broken heart.

I am very hardworking and pragmatic. I also lived with Jennifer for a time.

She came here because she heard that attending parties and gatherings could help her meet wealthy people, find a job that would pay for her family's medical bills and rent.

To be honest, it wasn't really Jennifer who tricked the other party; it was all consensual.

Zhang Ailun composed himself, walked over and greeted her warmly, "Good morning, darling. You're so diligent, getting up so early."

"Good morning, sir." The girl smiled slightly. "Did you sleep well last night? Everyone else has already left. Jennifer asked me to make you breakfast and help you get up."

"Of course, I'm very satisfied with your service," Zhang Ailun nodded with a smile.

He took out a thousand dollars and handed it to the other person, saying, "Consider it a reward for you."

"Please have dinner, sir." The girl didn't touch the thousand dollars. Instead, she quickly used a knife and fork to cut up some fried eggs and fed them to the leader.

Zhang Ailun looked at her with surprise, but still readily accepted it, enjoying the service he received and finishing his breakfast.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Zhang Ailun tried to wipe his mouth, but the other person beat him to it.

The girl put down the tissue, knelt down beside him, placed her hands on the leader's knees, and looked at him expectantly. "Sir, I want a stable job. Jennifer said you can help me."

"You're so hardworking, you could find a job anywhere, so why did you come to me?" Zhang Ailun pondered and asked in return.

"Because I don't have a high level of education, the best I can find is a temporary job that pays $20 an hour."

The girl said dejectedly, "I always thought I could make a better life through hard work and come to the big city with my boyfriend to look for opportunities, but reality tells me it's impossible. The money I earn from working is only enough to make ends meet, and I can't save much money at all. Even after I met Jennifer and did business with them in private, I would accidentally mess things up. My boyfriend didn't want to see me doing that kind of thing, so in the end they were unwilling to take me with them anymore."

"Sir, I desperately need a job. Please!"

"You have a boyfriend?" Zhang Ailun's expression was strange; he hadn't noticed at all.

"I've already broken up with him! There's no hope for us to be together, and I don't want to go back to the countryside and live an ordinary life," the girl said earnestly.

"You don't need to tell me this kind of thing." Zhang Ailun waved his hand, making it seem as if the Grand Master liked to poach other people's partners and break up couples.

"Go work in an armed nation."

In the end, the girl's sincere gaze and persistent attitude moved the leader.

Zhang Ailun pondered, "I can give you $35 an hour. As long as you work hard, I will give you generous bonuses, promotions, and raises. Of course, I will have Jennifer supervise your work. If you don't do well enough, I will still fire you."

The girl was overjoyed. "Thank you, sir. I will definitely work hard!"

"Go eat first." Zhang Ailun picked up his phone and prepared to leave.

But the girl stopped him. Under the leader's questioning gaze, she bit her lip and looked at him timidly. Then she gathered her hair, crawled under the table, and buried her head.

hiss……

The Grand Master felt like he had once again acted like a scoundrel.

They finally managed to feed the 19-year-old girl named Eileen.

Zhang Ailun felt that his fighting strength would definitely be greatly reduced today, as his opponent's fighting strength and background did not seem to be that of a 19-year-old.

Eileen thoughtfully helped the leader get dressed and cleaned up before going to the bathroom to take care of her own hygiene.

The leader took out his phone and contacted Jennifer.

Zhang Ailun: What exactly is the situation with this girl named Eileen?

Jennifer: You and she did morning exercises again? Are you still satisfied with her?

Zhang Ailun: ...I didn't.

Jennifer: You're definitely lying. She's a pitiful girl. Don't bully her. If you're not happy with her, give her some money and send her away. If you are happy with her, give her a stable job. We need help at the store; I'm a bit overwhelmed by the workload.

Zhang Ailun: Was this also part of your plan?

Jennifer: Honey, aren't you satisfied? This is just the first interview. If you're not satisfied, I can have someone conduct a second interview tonight until you are!

Zhang Ailun: I'm not made of iron. I already promised her I'd give her a job.

Jennifer: Then she must have slept with you. I knew she was a hardworking and good girl!

Zhang Ailun: ...

The leader was somewhat unable to refute her fallacious logic. If all hardworking girls are good girls, then in your eyes, are there any bad girls?

I simply exited the chat window.

I opened the daily intelligence app and started watching today's news.

[Daily News: A client spent $24000 on the dark web to hire paparazzi and a local motorcycle gang from the Titan Arcade to stalk and secretly photograph actress Amanda, then upload the photos to their social circle for sexual favors. Details: The client's true identity is a perverted, overweight fan of the actress, skilled in some internet technology; you might receive payment or even a romantic encounter as a result.]

The dark web? A female celebrity?

Zhang Ailun pondered for a moment.

Such human kidnapping and privacy invasion are not uncommon on the dark web; human trafficking transactions worth tens of thousands of dollars are commonplace and impossible to regulate.

However, it is indeed a bit perverted for a fat, otaku fan to sell his idol's erotic photos for money.

He didn't remember much about the others, but he was quite familiar with Titan Arcade. The two black gunmen who were hired by the Hornet boss to carry out assassination missions and were taught a lesson by the leader and his men at the motel were members of the Titan Arcade's motorcycle gang.

In the end, the two black men and the owner of the Wasp Company were taken away by the loan company's people and dealt with. Nobody knows what happened to them now.

Those black guys even stole someone else's Lamborghini Gallardo, but the leader pointed it out and Blitz hacked into the arcade and made them win coins all day, so they had to temporarily close down. How come they're doing business again now?

I searched for information about the female celebrity, and she doesn't have much fame. She has only participated in some popular Netflix short dramas, the kind of short dramas that are considered "power fantasy" or "revenge" in the West, such as "The Return of the Dragon King," "The Underdog's Comeback," and "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me."

It has to be said that the people who can be filmed are all handsome men and beautiful women. Apart from the outdoor setting, the filming backgrounds are basically all in luxury villas. Otherwise, the audience would not be able to feel any sense of immersion. It's like how American horror movies always have a naive and innocent white girl and a brainless muscle man. It's all formulaic movies produced on an assembly line.

The main focus is on a fast-paced show-off and face-slapping game. The dialogue is genuinely idiotic, but it's also genuinely satisfying.

The leader has come across these kinds of videos more than once in the past two days, and Jennifer seems to enjoy watching them as well.
