America's Road to Wealth

Ikana's father is a very flamboyant person.

When Waleed was wealthy, luxury cars, yachts and mansions never stopped.

This yacht, once named "Kingdom 5KR" by Waleed, was one of the most luxurious yachts in the world at that time.

But in 1991, Ikana's father went bankrupt again.

In order to pay off the debt and turn over, the yacht had to be sold.

When this yacht was owned by Ted Lena, it happened to be that Ikana was in a special growth period when she was transitioning from naive romance to rational reality.

In 1991, Ikana was less than ten years old.

When she had the best memory, she was also the happiest.

My father first went bankrupt and sold some of the most valuable things in the family.

Then the biological mother divorced her father the next year.

Just before that age of puberty.

These two things were in the process of Ikana forming her own outlook and personality.

Had a great impact.

This may be the reason why her character is somewhat realistic and ambitious.

Consider that before that, she was a happy daughter of a billionaire.

Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he has everything.

After that, my father went bankrupt and my mother got divorced.

No matter how normal a child is, his personality will not change after experiencing such a big change.

What's more, she was around 9 years old, an age when she could already remember and understand but not yet understand.

This makes this yacht particularly different in Ikana's memories.

After confirming at this moment that this ship is the one in his memory.

Ikana, who had already arrived on the deck of the ship, stared blankly at the white hull and the beautiful and neat buildings on the ship.

Her eyes were a little hazy.

As if across time and space, she saw her young self spending happy time with her parents on this yacht.

And the yacht that held part of her joy was sold.

After that, Ikana also matured rapidly.

Only then did Ikana make plans for her future at such a young age.

When I was fifteen or sixteen, I became a model and a host.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the sea.

Ikana couldn't help but be alerted physically, she turned around and couldn't help but fall into Abel's arms again.

"Thank you, dear, thank you. Thank you very, very much!!"

Her voice was very excited, and Abel even heard a whimper in her tone.

This made Abel stunned.

He didn't know why Ikana had such a big reaction.

He didn't even know that Ikana would have a different feeling for this yacht.

The reason why I bought this "Kingdom 5KR".

The reason was that he later discovered that the previous owner of the ship was Ted Lena.

Thinking about the yacht Ted Lena sold when he ran out of money.

Bought it back for Ikana to use.

Presumably this should make Ikana particularly proud with her father.

This might make Ikana happy.

Ikana was happy, so he had some things he couldn't get from her.

Maybe it can also be satisfied.

That way he can be happy himself.

What's more, he still had something to offer.

For this yacht, Ikana, like Anne, only have unlimited rights to use it.

He still uses certain methods to control the ownership in his own hands.

Unexpectedly, Ikana saw this yacht.

The reaction would be so big.

"What's the matter?"

He gently hugged her plump body with his backhand, gently stroked her well-shaped back with one hand, comforted her and said softly:

"Even if you don't like it, you don't have to react like this. I thought you would be very happy to see it."

Ikana raised her face from his shoulder.

You can see that her eyes are indeed slightly red.

But this young girl with strong self-control has managed to control her emotions in such a short time.

She smiled with red eyes:

"I'm very happy. It's just because I like it that I'm like this!"

"Oh~"

Abel saw that she was not lying, and then he laughed.

"Let's go. Let's take a look at what's going on inside. It's too cold outside. Going to sea in New York in the winter is really not a smart choice."

Ikana nodded, and he held her hand obediently, walking towards the cabin.

"Waleed said he bought the Walid from your father for $20 million."

Walk into the deck veranda and enter the forward cabin.

The warm yacht heater made the two of them feel waves of comfortable warmth on their bodies, which were slightly cooled by the sea breeze.

Abel walked inside curiously and said:

"After that, Walid said he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on renovations."

"I just got it last night, so I sent it to be spray-painted and printed with your name."

"I haven't even come in to see it myself."

Ikana's beautiful eyes, like Abel's, looked at everything they saw.

She nodded slightly and said:

"You can tell it's this yacht from the outside. But inside, it's nothing like it was when my father owned it."

This yacht has a total of five floors of buildings on the deck.

The area becomes smaller as you go up. The fifth floor, the top, only has an observation deck of about ten square meters and a large bathtub of several square meters.

The entire fourth floor is the master bedroom on the yacht, which has the best view on the yacht.

The third and second floors are guest rooms, and part of the first floor is also guest rooms.

Most of the remaining space on the first floor is used for entertainment and public areas.

For example, there is a public outdoor swimming pool with a helipad behind it.

Under the buildings on this deck is the hull of the yacht.

This part of the space is except for the dormitories of the crew and sailors.

There are also some entertainment facilities, as well as on-board warehouses, yacht engine main engines and other facilities.

Abel had no idea what it looked like in Tedlena's hands.

But after Prince Walid's renovation, when he saw it, he only felt that everything was magnificent.

The typical aesthetic style of rich people in desert areas...

All kinds of entertainment facilities such as theaters, swimming pools, discotheques, etc. that are necessary for top luxury yachts are also available on the yacht.

Kingdom 5KR, translated into Chinese, actually means Kingdom Number.

Its hull length is 288 feet, which is more than 87 meters when converted into meters.

Such a yacht, in 2000, is already the largest group of privately owned luxury yachts.

Otherwise, he would not be worthy of Walid, the Middle East stock god.

But now, after listening to Abel’s words, Prince Walid is ready to place an order for a larger and more luxurious yacht.

This King has become a less important toy.

In order to make friends with Abel, he even wanted to give it to Abel directly.

It’s just that Abel didn’t want to take such a big favor in vain, so he refused at that time.

Later he found out that it was Ted Lena's favorite yacht, so he thought of buying it to make Ikana happy.

If this ship is just a hull, the current market price is only about US$15 million.

But the most valuable part of the luxury yacht itself is the decoration, modification and decoration on it.

Waleed spent almost $130 million on refitting the ship.

Including the purchase cost, Walid spent nearly 150 million US dollars on this boat.

This does not include the cost of daily maintenance, as well as the wages of crew members, captains and other miscellaneous expenses.

From 1991 to the present, Abel conservatively estimates that Prince Walid has spent at least US$160 million on it.

Abel originally planned to buy it at the original price, but Walid was unwilling.

The final compromise was made at the strong request of Prince Walid.

Abel took advantage of it and sold this, one of the most luxurious yachts in the world, to Abel for US$80 million.

By the way, the scene where the two were on the phone haggling over the price would have been seen by others.

It will definitely be speechless.

During the bargaining process between these two people.

One wants to buy it more expensively, and the other wants to sell it more cheaply.

Such a bargain.

It only appears in people like desert chiefs and Abel who are not short of money.

The King's Number was very big, and Abel and Ikana only took a cursory look at it.

It took nearly forty minutes for the two of them to arrive at the observation deck on the fifth floor of the deck building.

"Well, Ikana, how is this different from the ship you remember from the past?"

On the observation deck, Abel smiled as he blew the cold sea breeze.

"Except for the hull." Ikana said:

"Nothing else is the same. Even this observation deck didn't exist before. It seems to have been added later."

"I noticed the ornaments. They seemed to be gold."

This made Ikana a little shocked.

There are so many gold ornaments and statues, regardless of artistic value and processing fees.

If it were simply priced in gold, she thought the value would be at least seven to eight million US dollars.

What's more, the gold plating and gold threads everywhere on the ship exude luxury.

Ikana thinks.

If his father comes up.

I'm going to love the decoration of this boat!

"Yes. But it's really cold here. Let's go downstairs." Abel nodded.

"good."

The height of this viewing platform is at least thirty meters above the water.

At a height of about ten stories, there was wind on the sea.

The temperature at this time is estimated to be around zero degrees.

It's naturally cold up here.

The two arrived at the master bedroom on the fourth floor, which was also the most luxurious and spacious bedroom on the yacht.

this bedroom.

The indoor area alone should be about two hundred square meters.

You must know that this is on a yacht, and the bedroom of two hundred square meters is already ridiculously large.

"Because time is urgent." Abel said:

"I only asked my life manager David Jones to replace the personal daily items on this floor, such as quilts. Other things are still the same as before."

"Ikana, wait until you are free. You can design it yourself or modify the layout on the ship."

Abel said with a smile.

Ikana smiled and nodded in agreement.

Prince Walid's decoration expenses were exaggerated, and the house was decorated with splendor.

But honestly.

Ikana didn't appreciate this style.

She felt that her father might like it very much and even fall in love with it at first sight.

In her own words, she felt that this was not in line with her style and aesthetics.

Although it is also very beautiful.

"Okay~" Abel smiled and walked to Ikana and hugged her gently.

"Now, can you go out to sea with me? Look, it looks like it's going to snow outside."

"Going out on a yacht when it snows. It's pretty cool to think about, isn't it?"

Ikana, who was held by him, smelled the manly scent of him.

It was a special smell, not the smell of sweat but not the smell of perfume either.

She was attracted to it.

She didn't know that this was actually a manifestation of mutual attraction between the hormones of both parties.

She glanced at someone's tent and said funny and charmingly:

"Is it really just a trip to the sea? Nothing else?"

Her expression made Abel unable to control himself anymore.

Abel let go of Ikana, walked to the bedside in the bedroom, and pressed a button.

Then the microphone next to the button sounded.

"BOSS?"

It was Edward's voice. At this time, the bodyguard captain was in the captain's room, where he controlled the yacht.

In the captain's cabin, there are also the captain and first mate of the yacht, as well as two other bodyguards.

"It's me. Edward, let the captain set off. We're not going anywhere, we're just going to take a walk off the coast of New York."

"clear."

In the captain's cabin.

Edward turned to the captain and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Gerald, let's sail the ship."

The old captain, who had been driving yachts for the rich for more than ten years, nodded with a smile and gave the order to set off.

After the ship started, Edward and the other bodyguard did not leave the captain's cabin.

Factory Director Jileide is also used to it.

Rich people have always had extremely high requirements for safety.

Even on their own private yachts, they worry that the captain will take them to an unsafe place.

Leaving bodyguards in the captain's cabin to monitor him was also the proper intention.

In the master bedroom of the former King and now the Ikana.

After finishing the explanation, Abel had turned around and looked at Ikana who was looking at him with a smile.

In the short time he contacted Edward, Ikana had already taken off her slim and beautiful coat.

Revealing a light purple tight-fitting woolen turtleneck sweater, with white stockings underneath.

No pants, just thermal underwear over the leg socks.

In this look, Ikana looks both homely and sexy.

In line with her relatively dignified and elegant appearance.

There is a different sense of being an intellectual family member and wife.

But under her elegant and slender neck, there is a big pear that does not look so virtuous.

Body shape and temperament create a special sense of conflict.

Let her have a fatal attraction to Abel at this time.

He smiled and walked over and held her in his arms.

Just at this moment, when Abel closed the bedroom curtains.

Outside the glass through the curtains, a drizzle of snow began to fall on the waters of New York.

Outside the house is cold wind, snow and cold sea.

The room is as warm as spring and as passionate as fire.

This is bound to be a hot winter sea trip.

For Ikana, this will also be a torment of happiness, a long and short day and night.

The next day is November 15th.

The weather is cloudy.

Pier 15, South Street Seaport, Manhattan, New York.

The yacht Ikana, which had been at sea for a day and a night, slowly docked at noon.

On the yacht, in the bathroom of more than 30 square meters in the master bedroom.

Abel looked helplessly at the dense hickeys on his neck in the mirror.

This Ikana, it was definitely intentional.

He knew that he would have an important cocktail party today.

Last night, while I was getting high.

He actually planted so many strawberries on his neck.

He knew that this was Ikana's little thought again.

But what can he do?

Of course I can only choose to forgive her.

It's useless to want to take revenge if you don't forgive.

Ikana, who went to sea with him for a day and a night, probably couldn't even move a finger at this moment.

Still sleeping soundly outside.

Abel didn’t even know if she could make it to Smith Capital’s year-end reception tonight.

Originally, Abel invited her and her father to go together.

He had to have someone send him a high-collared shirt to try to cover up the strawberry mark just below his neck.

There is nothing you can do about the above.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned, so it didn't matter even if someone saw him.

After changing his clothes, he walked out of the bathroom.

Arriving in front of the huge and soft Simmons, Abel glanced at the sleeping Ikana.

"Ikana, Ikana, Ikana?" He muttered softly.

"I'm going ashore. I have to go to the Smith Building first to make some preparations. With you looking like this, can you still go to the cocktail party tonight?"

At first Ikana didn't respond, after he called several times.

She finally murmured and opened her eyes, "Ugh. So tired, you bastard. I have to go tonight."

"But you look like this"

"I can!"

"Okay. Let's go ashore now, shall we?"

"No, no. I still need to take a rest. Let me sleep until the afternoon."

"Well, don't force it, Ikana. Take a good rest when you're tired."

"I didn't force it." She said softly and stubbornly:

"I'll make a call later and ask my assistant to send me clothes, cosmetics, and jewelry. Just leave me alone. If it really doesn't work at night, there's nothing you can do if you can't go there."

"Okay." Abel smiled and lowered his head to kiss her.

Ikana subconsciously avoided it.

"I haven't rinsed my mouth or brushed my teeth yet. And you still... smell like this in the morning!"

Yes!

Abel almost forgot about this, he immediately decisively avoided Ikana's lips and only kissed her on the forehead.

asshole! Shouldn't it be that even though it tastes good, in order to prove that you like me, you still kiss me? He is indeed a bastard. Ikana thought a little depressed and a little angry.

"Okay. Then you can take a rest. I'll leave first."

Ikana nodded helplessly.

Abel then left the bedroom.

Ikana who stayed behind was tired and sleepy, her body was exhausted, and her throat was a little hoarse.

It is the sequelae of excessive exercise and excessive shouting.

But at this moment, her mood and energy were extremely good.

Just think that a ship like this is 288 feet long and worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Look at all of New York.

No, it is an ultra-luxury yacht that few people in the world can own.

From now on it belongs to you.

If she hadn't been too tired to move, she would have wanted to get up now, take a good look at the Ikana, and study the areas that needed to be modified to her favorite style.

She didn't know.

This ship does not belong to her, she is just the user

On Abel's side, he landed refreshed.

But instead of walking up there, we boarded a plane directly from the helicopter landing pad provided by the Ikana.

Not counting the time for takeoff and landing, we arrived at Smith Tower in less than ten minutes.

In his office, he summoned David Mellon and Melio, who had taken a half-day off yesterday.

"How's it going? Is there no problem with what happened tonight?"

Abel still valued Smith Capital's first year-end reception.

This is a stage for him to flex his muscles to Wall Street and make them take him more seriously.

David Mellon said:

"Invitation letters have been sent out to all the guests to be invited. And they have received very good feedback. Most of the guests have said they will attend in person."

After David finished speaking, Melio's boss turned his attention to himself.

He also quickly said:

"In terms of hardware facilities, preparations have been completed. Hilton Hotel has shown the greatest sincerity. Some of our own staff have already settled in the venue."

Facing these two people, my right-hand man in Smith Capital gave this answer.

Abel nodded with satisfaction:

"Then, watch our performance tonight. This will be a stage performance for us to go all-out to the entire Wall Street!"

Abel was already looking forward to it, at the beginning or in the middle of the cocktail party in the evening.

What will be the reaction of those guests?

You must be shocked, right?

Abel thought happily.
