Forman looked at Cade Eagle sitting across from him with a hint of envy. That dirt-digging redneck from the farm had made a killing.
Three days had passed since the Lizardmen riot in New York City and the Green Goblin incident. The Osborn Group's stock price had plummeted almost as fast as a high dive. Rumor had it that even though the Green Goblin battled MK2 outside the New York Bay area, those stock traders were still frantically selling off their Osborn Group shares in their offices. They didn't even take a break, even when chandeliers fell on them.
Because he used leverage and continued to short the stock, Cade Eagle's initial investment had multiplied more than tenfold. Forman had heard that he had also opened accounts at other brokerage firms to short the Osborn Group.
A few days earlier, they had treated Cade as a joke; now, they were the ones being laughed at.
In less than two weeks, this lucky redneck had earned hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if he was just managing funds for Clark Kent, he could conservatively receive a commission of tens of millions.
Forman's eyes were almost red with jealousy, but he concealed his feelings well. Cade Eagle was now the company's most valuable client. Their company had suffered heavy losses during the New York City riot, and whether they could survive this difficult period depended on whether they could retain this fat lamb.
"Mr. Eagle, our company has recently launched several high-yield projects, which are an excellent choice for your investment."
He said this as he pulled out a stack of white papers still smelling of ink from the drawer.
"No, I'll withdraw all my funds."
Forman's hand trembled at Cade's words, scattering the white papers he was holding all over the floor. He didn't know how long the brokerage firm could last without this funding, but he knew he was about to be fired and lose his job immediately.
"Why? Mr. Eagle, did we do something wrong with our service?"
Forman almost bent over backwards to kiss Cade's ass.
"Cough cough, I'm preparing to acquire Elgie Mechanical Company."
Cade's expression was a little excited. His dream of many years was finally close to being realized; he was about to own a mechanical processing company!
Forman thought for a long time and then opened his computer to search before finding information about this mechanical processing company.
Elgie Mechanical Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was established in 1864. Its main products were mechanical products such as fans, compressors, and screw feeders. The company was near Austin. In the early years, the company's performance was good, and its products were mainly exported to some small countries in the East and Southeast Asia, but in the past ten years, it had been defeated when facing similar companies in the East, almost losing all its markets. It had been in the red all along.
Forman looked at Cade Eagle as if he were an idiot.
"Mr. Eagle, manufacturing is a sunset industry. Labor costs, raw materials, everything is going up in price. If you don't have management experience, the unions are a nightmare. These low-end industries should be moved to the East. You're pouring your valuable cash into this bottomless pit, and you'll definitely lose everything!"
Cade was infuriated by Forman's words. He sprang up from his chair, his nostrils flaring as he tried to say something in rebuttal, only to find himself at a loss for words.
"I want to withdraw all my money! Immediately! Right now!"
He could only manage to spit out this harsh sentence.
Broly bought the entire Lasitas Town, which didn't cost him much. He had already acquired almost all the farms nearby. Without the cowboys who used to come to town for shopping and entertainment, Lasitas Town quickly became desolate and decayed.
His price was very fair, and there were almost no problems during the acquisition process.
At this moment, Kakarot was demolishing the buildings in the town. She was very angry that Broly hadn't taken her to New York City, and she was taking her anger out on these buildings.
"Kamehameha!"
A massive amount of energy gathered between her hands, and the resulting energy blast reduced a bar to rubble.
The gunmen cheered and applauded.
"Nice one, boss!"
"Boss is awesome!"
"Boss is invincible!"
Kakarot raised her small face with some pride, puffing out her chest and stepping aside. A gunman drove over in a forklift, ready to clear away the debris.
The gunmen all knew Broly wouldn't tolerate any nonsense and treated everyone almost equally, but Kakarot was much more naive; you could see what she was thinking almost instantly.
According to the information from the solar eclipse and Professor Connors, Lord Broly plans to flatten Lasitas Town and then build the Elgie Mechanical Company and Professor Connors' Bio-Lab here.
After the lab is built, Professor Connors will create the Animal Serum for them. However, because most people chose different species, the production cycle would be relatively long, and they would have to wait in line.
Therefore, the gunmen surrounded Kakarot, trying to find a breakthrough from her to get their serum moved up in the queue.
Kakarot, being a bit naive, couldn't see the gunmen's intentions and had been happily giggling to herself for the past few days.
With her help, the entire Lasitas Town was demolished at an astonishing speed. The gunmen only needed to be responsible for clearing the ruins. In three days, Lasitas Town was completely flattened and disappeared from the ground. The construction waste was directly destroyed by Broly using his Ki, saving on transportation costs.
The bio-lab that needed to be built later had very high requirements for construction, which amateur gunmen couldn't handle. Professor Connors contacted a construction company with professional qualifications, and after giving them plenty of money, the progress was swift, without any of the usual delays and low efficiency of ordinary construction companies.
The construction site changed daily, with new developments almost every day. Because the construction company used twice the manpower, the lab was completed in just a week, leaving only the interior decoration work like cable laying.
Broly barely paid attention to these matters, leaving everything to Cade and Professor Connors. Not long remained until his appointment with the Fire Cloud Evil God, and he devoted all his energy to cultivation and adjusting his own state.
After entering the fourth level of the Nine Revolutions True Martial God Qi, his qi growth didn't increase much compared to the third level, but his limit strength and defense were rapidly improving.
His Strength attribute directly increased by two points, and his Constitution also increased by one point, both reaching sixteen points.
Moreover, he could feel that his body seemed to have broken through a certain limit. As long as his qi could improve, the strength of his body could also increase along with it. It wouldn't be like in the Dragon Ball World, where his qi became hundreds of times stronger, but the improvement in his physical strength was quite limited.
