The suburbs of Benzhong City, a luxury and wealthy area, are different from the busy traffic in the city center. The scenery here is beautiful, with lakes and mountains, and it is so beautiful.
Next to the largest lake in the suburbs, there is a private estate with very tight security.
This is the estate of the Childe family, which is very famous all over the world. They are hidden in the depths of history and have controlled the world's financial markets for hundreds of years. They have always been very secretive.
It wasn't until more than ten years ago that a man who had worked for the Child family published a book and revealed the secrets of the family. Only then did the world know that there was such a big hand in the world that controlled Europe and even the entire world.
Although the secret was revealed, the power of the Childe family has not been weakened in any way.
So what if the secret is exposed? They control unparalleled wealth. A sneeze from the family can cause turmoil in the global financial market. Do you need to look at anyone's eyes?
Today, guests from the Child family gathered together in great joy.
Because today is the 80th birthday of Paul Child, the patriarch of the Child family, dignitaries, celebrities, billionaires, financial tycoons, superstars, strangers, and all kinds of people from all over the world have come here.
Come to celebrate his birthday.
The manor is rarely open, and the more than one hundred parking spaces in the internal parking lot are filled with various luxury cars. Luxury cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini are as commonplace as toy cars among them.
This is a grand event that includes almost half of the planet's top wealthy people, but there is only one most dazzling star today: Paul Child!
As the controller of this generation of the Child family, every turmoil in the global economy in the past fifty years has been traced to Paul. He has almost guided the financial direction of the planet and can be called the biggest mastermind behind the scenes.
"Paul, long time no see. You look very good." An old man came over. He was the king of a European country and a member of the Gurung royal family.
"Mr. Paul, my father has official duties and is unable to come in person. On his behalf, I would like to extend my most sincere congratulations to you." The beautiful daughter of the president of the United States was also present.
"Dear Mr. Paul, I wish you a happy 80th birthday!" The world's richest man also came. Although he had just divorced his ex-wife and divided tens of billions of wealth, he was still the world's richest man in name. But only he knew it in his heart.
, the old man in front of him is the real controller of the world's wealth, and his hundreds of billions of properties are nothing compared to the Child family.
Other guests from all walks of life also came over to pay their respects to Paul.
After Paul received a dozen of the most distinguished guests, he coughed a few times and had an unhealthy blush on his face.
When his son Kevin Child saw this, he quickly went over to support Paul and said to the other guests: "Everyone, I'm sorry. My father has just recovered from a serious illness and is relatively weak. He needs to take a rest first."
The guests expressed their understanding.
Paul was helped back to the lounge. A doctor immediately brought an oxygen tube and asked him to breathe pure oxygen. He was also given an injection of steroids to boost his energy, and his complexion slowly returned to normal.
When Paul was young, he played too much and became weak very early on. Now he relies entirely on various high-tech means to maintain his health. However, his body has obviously weakened in recent years, and he is expected to die soon.
"Is there any news from Worm?" Paul suddenly asked, "When will the ginseng elf be returned?"
Kevin said: "There is no news yet. I have already asked someone to contact him. Father, please rest assured that Worm is very trustworthy in handling affairs. He should be back soon."
Paul nodded, but said strangely: "Kevin...don't you think this is strange? That ginseng plant was clearly dying, so how could it suddenly transform into an elf? I'm sure it's not Worm.
Was it a mistake?"
Kevin hesitated and said: "It is indeed a bit strange, but Worm absolutely said that it was indeed our ginseng that transformed into an elf. I also asked several experts, and they said that the ginseng's previous near-death state might be
It is an energy conversion process before the medicinal materials take form. The state that occurs during this process is similar to that of dying, so it was misjudged. After all, there has not been an example of a successful form for two hundred years. Our people lack experience and misjudged it.
It’s also possible.”
"Those trash! Their misjudgment almost caused me to lose an opportunity to extend my life span!" Paul said angrily, "I give them hundreds of millions of research funds every year, are they using this result to repay me?
Get rid of all these rubbish tomorrow!"
Kevin said: "Father, this matter can be done slowly. We also need them to extract the essence from the ginseng elf to increase your life span."
Paul took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Okay, then give them one last chance... Why hasn't the ginseng elf come back yet? I need strength, I need longevity, I need to become young again, and I still want to rule.
This world will last for fifty years...no, five hundred years!"
At this moment, Kevin's cell phone vibrated, and his expression suddenly changed after he answered it.
"What's wrong?" Although Paul was old and frail, he was very keenly aware that something was wrong with Kevin.
Kevin put down the phone and said coldly: "Worm failed... He and the three Black Claw strongmen were all killed! Also killed was the chief researcher of the Ellen Bell Institute, Hydeson..."
"What?" Paul was furious, "What happened? Where is the ginseng elf?"
Paul didn't care about the death of his men. The most important thing to him was the ginseng spirit.
Kevin said: "I don't know...but according to the reports from the witnesses and witnesses, that person should have learned about our existence from Hudson's mouth, and he may have come to us for revenge!"
Paul was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly.
Want to take revenge on our Childe family?
Isn’t that just throwing yourself into a trap?
The Childe family is not only rich, but also powerful enough to make the Watcher Alliance, the Night Alliance, and even the Gurren royal family tremble!
As there is a saying in China, money can make the world go round.
In the Childe family, there are countless ghosts, and each one is stronger than the last!
"Since he is coming, let's entertain him well." Paul breathed a sigh of relief, "You know what to do."
Kevin nodded: "Don't worry, father. I will take care of this matter."
At eight o'clock in the evening, the Childe family's banquet officially began. There was melodious music and dancing in the banquet hall. VIPs from all walks of life were drinking and chatting, which was very enjoyable.
Most of them didn't know what happened at the flea market. Even if they got the news, they couldn't relate to the cheerful atmosphere in front of them. Everyone was enjoying themselves to the fullest.
Only a few people felt the tense atmosphere, and one of them suddenly turned out to be an old acquaintance of Li Xuan.
Chinese tycoon Zhang Yunji!
As a representative of China's richest people, Zhang Yunji was invited to attend this birthday party, and he was accompanied by a Qi practitioner from the Dantai Bidong Sect.
The Qi Refiner keenly felt that there were many powerful people hidden in the banquet hall!
