Amandine's Invisibility Cloak

Chapter 27 Wealth and Power

Amandine took the two thousand shillings he had earned with his life and planned to do something big. He called his sister first. Catherine cried with joy when she heard his voice. She was too afraid of losing Amandine. If he died, she would be the only one left in the world without any relatives. Amandine said to his crying sister, "Catherine, don't get excited. Listen to me. I need your help."

"What do you want me to do? As long as I can do it, I will do it."

Amandine told his sister about his idea about stocks, "This is a good idea. I will check the stock market information of your era right away."

After the two hung up the phone, Amandine went to the stock exchange to open an account, and then rented a small house for ninety shillings a month. This was the result of bargaining. Now he also knew the importance of money and had to spend it frugally. He was really afraid of living without money. He spent another one hundred and two shillings to buy a second-hand computer and connected it to the Internet. He finally became a glorious netizen. The next day, Catherine reported the stock information one by one. Amandine wrote down the gold bars with the biggest daily increase. The first time he bought one for 1,500 shillings, it doubled in three days. He was overjoyed. From then on, his wealth continued to grow, from a small house to a villa. From then on, he no longer had to worry about money, but although he was rich, Catherine still lived a tight life. He thought about how he could help his sister. One day, he had an idea. If he buried the gold in a secret place and told Catherine the address, wouldn't she be able to get it? He did it right away. He bought 100 kilograms of gold bars and buried them five times on a hill near where Catherine lived. Catherine dug according to the address he gave, and indeed dug out gold. She couldn't lift it by herself, so she could only take five kilograms away, but it was enough for her to spend for several years. After dealing with his sister's affairs, he thought of Uwa. Now it has been two years since the last battle to defend the building. He boarded a special plane, brought two beautiful female secretaries, and four bodyguards to the Black Pearl Women's Prison. When he inquired in the prison, he found out that Uwa was no longer there, so he went to the military camp to look for her. Uwa had become a couple with the soldier she had saved, and the two were doing strange actions in the house. Amandine knocked on the door twice, but there was no response from the room, so he pushed the door open and saw Uwa holding her legs up and being pressed down. He sighed and left. The soldier turned around and saw no one. Uwa asked, "Who is it?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the wind!" Amandine was too familiar with Uwa, and he recognized its owner just by looking at the legs. He thought, "Now that Uwa has found her home, I don't have to worry about her anymore. This is a good result." But he still felt a little sad. At this time, he felt more lonely than ever, and wanted to find his relatives in this era, so he went on a family search across the country. Unfortunately, after three months, there was still no result. Amandine didn't know that his family had already left Tanzania and went to South Africa. Another three years passed, and he became the richest man in Tanzania. One day, a middle-aged man came to see him. He called himself Corey. "Corey"? Amandine thought the name sounded familiar.

The man then introduced himself, "I think you should have heard of the Illuminati!" Amandine remembered, "Oh! are you the founder Corey?" Corey nodded, "Yes!"

"What do you want to see me for?" Amandine was alert. He didn't have a good impression of the Illuminati, and he would always be hostile to this organization in the future. "I want to cooperate with you." Corey said slowly. "Sorry, I'm not interested." Amandine refused immediately. "Listen to me first, don't rush to refuse. I know you and Norforth of the city-state used to be good friends, but now you are almost enemies!" After a pause, he continued, "As long as we cooperate, there will be no problem dealing with Norforth." Although Amandine hated Norforth, he still regarded him as a friend in his heart. Besides, he didn't want to deal with the city-state, which he and his father had worked hard to support. He smiled and said, "I don't know where you got this information, it's not reliable at all. I have no ill will towards the city-state, I just don't want to have anything to do with them."

Corey also smiled and said, "Although you have money, you have no resources. The Illuminati has more than 300,000 members all over the world. As long as you can join, you can use these resources."

Amandine was really tempted now. If he had these resources, he might be able to find Laurent and his family. He was silent for a while and asked, "What position can I get if I join?"

"The Illuminati is divided into nine regions. Except for Australia, each continent has two regional heads. Now there is a vacancy in the African region. If you join, you will be the head of this region." Amandine finally understood that this was how the name of the future "Nine Star Alliance" came from. He really wanted to know the answer. He had no other advantages except some money. "Why do you want to invite me?"

"The Illuminati and the City-State have a cooperative relationship in Africa, but they have always been in competition in other continents. You have been in the City-State before and were once the best friend of Norforth. You should know him very well. Just this alone makes you qualified to accept my invitation."

"So I got this position because of his help?" Amandine was very unhappy when he knew the answer. He wanted to be recognized by his own strength. Corey was very good at observing people. He saw Amandine's dissatisfaction and laughed, "Of course not. You are so rich, which also shows that you are not an ordinary person." Amandine thought to himself, "I am rich because I have a time phone. This is not my ability, but I won't tell you the truth, otherwise you will look down on me even more." Amandine finally accepted Corey's invitation. The African area is divided into two areas, left and right. He is the head of the left area. The head of the other area is a lady in her fifties. She was surprised to see that Amandine was younger than herself. It turned out that she was the youngest of the nine areas. Like the heads of other areas, everyone climbed to the current position step by step. Amandine is an outlier, he was parachuted in, he has more than 15,000 people under him, which is relatively small in the nine regions. Now he is rich and powerful, every time he goes out, a large group of people follow him. But he always feels that his people are still too few, not impressive enough, and wants to expand the scale. He said to a bald man beside him, "Big bald man, I want to recruit some people, what can you do?" The bald man's surname was Jing and his given name was Qiang. He was called Bald Qiang by others. He was an Asian. Amandine saw that he looked fierce, so he kept him by his side to scare people.
