“Hmm, I apologize for interrupting your work,” Finn Lewis smiled slightly.
With that, Mason took his leave. Will and the others naturally dispersed, leaving only Finn Lewis, Kay Lee, and Sarah Wood. By then, sun umbrellas, beach chairs, drinks and more had been set up.
Mason looked dazedly at the three people being cordoned off by bodyguards. Is this how the rich think? It was unbelievable to him… he had just nonchalantly tossed away 30 million federal coins as if they were nothing, not even blinking an eye.
Nevertheless, Mason immediately called Yancy Lucas to report the incident. Yancy remained silent for a while after hearing about it before finally responding, “Wait, what did you say his name was?”
“Finn Lewis,” Mason replied, pronouncing the name according to Federation language.
“Oh, my, god.” Yancy was stunned initially before exclaiming in disbelief.
“Uh?” Stunned by Yancy’s outburst, Mason asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Chairman?”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know who he is?” Yancy quickly realized that Mason didn’t know who Finn Lewis was.
“Well, the name is familiar, but I can’t remember…” Mason replied.
“Remember the news a while ago? Bill Gates was ousted from his throne as the world’s richest man,” Yancy said helplessly.
Upon hearing that, Mason suddenly remembered why the name sounded so familiar! It made headlines all over the world when a newcomer not only entered the world billionaires list, but dethroned Bill Gates and pushed him to second place! More importantly, his wealth was nearly twice as much as that of Bill Gates!
His personal assets amounted to a staggering 150 billion federal coins! Owen Things, the company he worked for, was only worth a little over 140 billion federal coins! That meant Finn Lewis could buy the entire company and still have more than 10 billion federal coins to spare! The thought alone made Mason’s head spin — especially considering Finn Lewis was just a 25-year-old young man!
What’s more, Mason recalled that the news had reported that this young man’s wealth was the result of his own ability, not his family’s fortune.
And there he was, sitting at a close distance to the man he had once admired. Mason was 36 years old, he managed the Global Advertising Department at Owen Things, and he had an annual salary of two to three million federal coins himself. When he compared himself to Finn Lewis, he felt as if he had wasted his past 36 years. Why was there such a gap between people?
However, after realizing Finn Lewis’s status, Mason was somewhat speechless. Elias really was courting death. How could he dare to lay his hands on the girlfriend of the world’s wealthiest man, irrespective of whose girlfriend he was? Mason wasn’t from Flame Nation, he lived in North Federation and grew up there. As an elite member of North Federation, he understood how powerful a world billionaire could be.
Bluntly put, even if Finn Lewis were to kill Elias, Lewis wouldn’t face any consequences, and the incident wouldn’t be linked to him. In North Federation, a human life wasn’t worth that much, whether the person was a celebrity or not! Unless you were of a similar status to Lewis, there was no difference.
Of course, what Mason didn’t know was that if Finn Lewis wanted to kill Elias, no one would find Elias’s body anywhere in the world, unless the person could go back to the world two hundred years ago.
“I say, this isn’t your style, is it?” Sarah Wood looked at Finn Lewis with suspicion.
“And what style do you think I have?” Finn Lewis asked, somewhat speechless.
“I think your style would be squashing people to death with money. If you exchanged tens of billions of federal coins into cash and dumped it on that bastard, crushing him, I wouldn’t be surprised.” Sarah Wood contemplated while touching her smooth chin.
Finn Lewis almost fell off his chair in surprise. “Damn, this girl, you sure have a wild imagination! Squashing people to death with money, I can’t believe you thought of that. If I really wanted to squash someone with money, I’d exchange it for coins instead. I wouldn’t need much. A billion coins would be enough to squash ten people at once. But when did I become such a person?
“Since when did I become such a person in your mind?” Finn Lewis asked, a little speechless.
Kay Lee next to them burst out laughing. “Maybe since the first time she met you. That’s the image she had of you,” she finally managed to say.
“Exactly! Spending 300 million on two sports cars!? Only a cruel capitalist like you who is ignorant of the hardships of life could manage something like that!” Sarah Wood shot Finn Lewis a scathing look as she said so.
“Alright then,” Finn Lewis shrugged his shoulders.
“Hey, you still haven’t told me how you plan on dealing with him. Speak up, I’m interested!” Sarah Wood excitedly exclaimed, clenching her fists.
Finn Lewis and Kay Lee were both speechless. ‘Are you really not concerned about stirring up more drama?’ they thought. ‘Do you love chaos that much?’
“Can you guess?” Finn Lewis looked at the excited Sarah Wood and decided he couldn’t possibly indulge her.
Sarah Wood still didn’t manage to get any information from Lewis, even after using various tactics, including using Kay Lee as a bargaining chip. All she managed to accomplish was getting into a playful fight with Kay Lee, in front of a breathtaking beach backdrop — a sight not many people had the privilege to witness.
Since everyone from the Owen Things company had already pulled out after receiving notice to temporarily suspend the commercial shoot, only Finn Lewis and his companions were left. What Lewis wanted to do was beyond their control, so naturally, they didn’t prevent him. And as for villa rental and other matters, they didn’t concern Finn Lewis either, as Will was in charge of handling them.
“How about we have a barbeque? I’ve never had one on the beach, especially at such a beautiful place.” As the weather wasn’t as hot since it was approaching dusk, Sarah Wood suggested with excitement.
