America's Road to Wealth

When night falls, the indoor and outdoor lights of 227 Swan Wharf are all lit up.

Most of the outdoor public spaces in the entire manor villa are almost as bright as daytime.

The red carpet meanders from the huge and beautiful British-style arch at the entrance of the manor to the banquet hall in the garden courtyard.

The guests can step on the red carpet when they get off the car and land, and then walk into the banquet venue.

There are rock security staff at the door. Lincoln, one of the Four King Kong in Abel's bodyguard, will be a welcome guest at the door to check the invitation letter tonight.

Only guests who match the invitation letter and the list will be included.

All the people involved, whether they were guests or the rock security staff, knew how high-end the dinner tonight was.

Neither rich nor noble can sum up the attributes of these people.

They are the real top of the pyramid in American society, money, power is the theme of tonight.

This is why Abel attaches so much importance to security work.

In case there is any accident or damage here.

Even in his capacity, it's not easy to explain.

In addition to the staff of Rock Security, for safety. He even used his personal connections to bring many New York police officers nearby.

On the sea not far away, there is even a sea patrol force of the New York State National Guard to avoid any accidents.

With all kinds of security preparations at this level, Abel felt that unless it was an enemy attack, it would be very difficult for anyone to destroy this banquet.

And the enemy country is attacking... For the United States in this time period, except for KBXJ, that is impossible.

So it can be said that no matter what level it is, tonight's banquet is bound to become one of the most talked about and highest-level banquets among the American upper class this year.

Not even lost to most banquets in Washington.

Feeling this atmosphere, D. Ted Lerner felt that his whole spirit was lifted a lot when he got off his car.

Being able to participate in this level of banquet made him feel that his status seemed to have jumped a lot.

"Wow, that's Cheney in front? Our vice president?"

After getting out of the car, Ikana's father looked at a couple of men and women walking in a dozen meters in front of him, and whispered to Baron Hilton behind him.

Old Barron came with Ted tonight. Hearing this, he looked forward and felt that his back looked very similar. "It should be Deputy Commander Cheney. He is also one of the guests tonight. The one next to him seems to be his daughter. She recently He is seeking to enter the official altar."

"Shouldn't such a big man come on stage at the finale? He came so early?" Ikana's father was a little surprised.

The older and more experienced old Barron is obviously much calmer than the slightly startled old understanding.

"There will be such a situation, there are only two possibilities."

"Which two possibilities?"

"One is that Cheney got the time wrong."

"This may not be big..."

"Not much." Hilton's patriarch nodded, "Another possibility is that among the guests tonight, there are many people with higher status than Cheney. That's why Cheney chose to come so early."

"Yes, yes, yes! This must be the reason!" Ikana's father raised his fingers and shook them.

Old Barron smiled, and didn't care much about Ted's somewhat impolite behavior.

The old man knew that this was not a manifestation of Ted's lack of etiquette, but actually a way for the other party to maintain his personality externally.

This is the philosophy of D. Ted Lerner's personal survival in the elite circle, even if other people can see it, they can't say anything.

While chatting, the two had already arrived in front of Lincoln and other guards at the door.

As Ikana's dad and Paris' grandpa, Lincoln certainly knew them both.

But the big black man still smiled and asked the other party to show the invitation letter.

The two didn't take it seriously, knowing that their son-in-law/grandson-in-law was very strict in terms of security and had no sympathy to speak of.

The invitation letter was handed over, and there was only one. Lincoln checked it a bit, and sent the two of them in with a smile on his face and a good attitude.

In fact, if possible, Ikana's father would like to have an independent invitation letter.

That way he can bring in another person, and who to bring in is a very profound knowledge.

That would become a big favor of his, and no matter who received his favor, he had to accept his favor.

However, he only got half of the invitation letter. To be precise, his name had been fixed on the invitation letter.

It was he and old Barron who shared an invitation letter.

Ted felt very sorry for this, but it was understandable.

Because if it is only based on social status and wealth.

Barron had a little hope of getting an invitation letter of this level, but he, Ted Lerner, had no hope at all!

Now being able to sneak in, this is already enough for his daughter. He didn't know that in the parallel time and space, he himself would actually be very powerful in the future.

Ted wouldn't mind having half an invitation—well, not really.

After all, he is not strong enough now.

The two walked inside, but they didn't know that behind them, a father and daughter were discussing the two of them.

Suki Mitsui, who was dressed in a Japanese-style tuxedo, was very well-dressed, and his daughter Toko Mitsui, who was dressed in a costume, had just gotten out of the car when she saw the front and was greeted by Lincoln with a very good attitude.

When it was the father and daughter's turn, the big black bodyguard's attitude was very serious, paying attention to business affairs. When checking the invitation letter, even the secret stamp on it had to be checked carefully. After several minutes of checking and confirming that it was correct, the father and daughter Mitsui were allowed in.

Mitsui Suki and Mitsui Toko, the two are representing the interests of the Neon people in the United States tonight, so they can get this invitation to enter the top banquet of the empire.

As subordinates of the empire, the Nihong people and the Han people still have some positions here.

This is like the great figures of ancient tributary states, who were sometimes qualified to meet the king of the Celestial Dynasty.

After stepping on the red carpet, Suki Mitsui pointed to Ted and Barron in front of his daughter in a flat tone, and said, "Do you feel any difference?"

Mitsui Toko sipped her lips slightly, and nodded slightly, "It's very different. That black bodyguard respects them very much, but he doesn't care about us. Because we are Neon people?"

Mitsui Suki nodded and shook his head.

"Maybe it's because we are Neon people. But it's more of another reason. Do you believe it, Dongzi. If Li Zaixi is here now, he is definitely more valued than us."

Mitsui Toko was silent, she knew what her father wanted to say.

But she can't help it. She had spent so much time and energy, and finally managed to get along with little Laura and get along with her as a friend.

But during that time, Abe Smith was so busy that he didn't have much time to see Laura Bush. She, little Laura's "best friend", has no chance to meet him.

Later, Laura Bush didn't even go back to school, and she waited desperately for the news that the other party had dropped out of school.

After she tried to chat with Laura, she found out that she was pregnant and returned to Texas to raise a baby.

Without the very important "roof" of Laura Shrub, no matter how scheming and motivation Mitsui Toko has, she can't get close to the "moon" of Abel.

No matter how much she wants to "recommend a pillow seat", she should have the opportunity to get close to the other party.

It's not that she doesn't work hard, but now her father is talking about Li Zaixi and the two ghosts in front of her.

This made Mitsui Toko feel very wronged, but he dared not show it.

She had no choice but to bow her head and say, "Hey! Father, I will work even harder... to meet the requirements of you and the adults in the family."

"Why--"

Mitsui Suki sighed softly.

In fact, if it was possible, how could a person of his level in Nihong want his most beloved daughter to be a "concubine"?

It is still a lot of times for the rice animal ghosts who they look down on very much in their hearts as concubines. This is also very uncomfortable for Mitsui Suki himself.

But who is Mitsui Suki is not the patriarch, not the main line. In order to consolidate his power and increase his voice in the family, he even offered to ask his brother and the family to let Dongzi complete this task.

It was only under his insistence and promotion that the Mitsui family sent Mitsui Toko instead of other family members.

In other words, this is actually Mitsui Suki asking for it.

Seeing his daughter like this now, Suki Mitsui had no choice but to be ruthless and continue to strengthen her daughter's psychological construction.

"Look at the front, Toko. I don't mean Hilton and Lerner, it's further ahead. See? That's Cheney, Richard Bruce Cheney, the deputy commander of this country. Even this kind of person, Arriving at Abel Smith's banquet so early. Do you know what that means? It means that there are more big shots behind, guys with a more valuable status than Richard Bruce Cheney."

Mitsui Toko nodded lightly, she is not stupid, on the contrary she is very smart. Even her ambition is not small, it can be said that the neon Keira Wilson.

The difference between her and Keira is that Keira's father has only two children, and the male one is not fertile.

Mitsui Suki has many children, and she is just one of them. And Slade Wilson is the one in power, and her father has to curry favor with the one in power for power.

At the same time, the neon woman is indeed inferior to many places in terms of social status.

That's why she and Keira are treated almost completely differently now.

But at heart, she's a Neon-side Kayla.

Beautiful, smart, ambitious, and more patient than Keira.

"So..." Looking at his smart and beautiful daughter since childhood, Mitsui Suki said softly: "Actually, you know what to do, don't you? If you can really do it, I think whether it's for you or me, It will be of great help. That Mi...that American is really not like an American in this respect. He is more like an ancient Chinese king, which is really a strange thing."

Mitsui Toko didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

The ancient kings of China——

This is actually an internal evaluation of certain aspects of Abel Smith's personality and hobbies within the senior management of the Neon people. It was a character summary they made after collecting a lot of information related to Abel.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Mitsui Suki actually knew that it wasn't that Dongzi didn't do things.

But it's really not easy to do, and the neon man seems to be wary of them.

If Dongzi wanted to really complete the task, he had already missed the good early opportunity, unlike the two daughters of Han Guoli's family at that time.

This can't be blamed on Dongzi, Suki Mitsui just encouraged her, and didn't really blame her.

The father and daughter quickly shifted the topic to the other guests at the banquet tonight.

And at this time, when guests from various parties arrived at No. 227 of Swan Wharf one after another.

At the main entrance of the banquet hall of the manor villa, Abel and Keira have also appeared there as hosts to welcome the guests.

Looking at the crowded and noisy scene outside, there are also super big figures from various countries coming one after another.

Abel didn't react much, he was still calm and composed. He had seen this kind of big scene a lot.

What's more, he is still a reborn person, and in this regard, he is naturally qualified to be neither humble nor humble when facing anyone.

When he was a small rich man, he was able to face the consortium bosses with such a mentality.

What's more, now that he has climbed to the top of the pyramid, with greater confidence and strength, he is naturally more different in this respect.

On the contrary, it was Keira who was holding his arm. At this moment, her white and beautiful face was blushing with excitement, and the upward arcs of the corners of her mouth did not mean to return to their original positions.

At this moment, Kayla had long forgotten her grievances as a "concubine".

She thought to herself, if it could go on like this forever. It seems that it is not unacceptable to be Abel's girlfriend all the time, and even give birth to him.

Seeing her excited look, Abel with a faint smile on his face, patted Keira's little hand calmly and said, "Let's go, our first person has arrived."

"Hmm." Keira took a deep breath secretly, and a brighter smile appeared on her extremely ruddy pretty face.

The hosts tonight, figures on the top of the empire, with elegant and calm smiles on their faces, welcomed the first pair of guests under the light as if it were daytime—Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, and There was Leo Melamed, chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

The former's name is more well-known to Chinese people, and he may even be the most famous chairman of the Federal Reserve in American history.

But in fact, Leo Melamed's status in the United States is not much inferior to that of Alan Greenspan.

In addition to being the chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Leo Melamed is also a globally recognized founder of financial futures, and a figure in the financial hall of fame known as the "father of the modern futures market".

At the same time, these two are also the top presence of the Oilers in the United States. Their prestige among the American Oilers is comparable to that of the middle-aged Guo Jing in the martial arts world.

Such a person whose status is so distinguished that even the owner of the White House should pay attention to him, yet he came so early.

This has actually proved from the side how much the oil people value Abel Smith.

Even if he was attending a banquet, Alan Greenspan still wore his iconic thick-rimmed myopia glasses, combed his hair with little hair left, and had a faint smile on his face with Leo Melamed. Smiling, looking at the pair of handsome young men and beautiful women in front of him, the main focus is actually on Abel.

The two big oil men couldn't help sighing secretly in their hearts at this moment, this is really a young man that everyone envies and envies.

Can the oil people continue to maintain their status in the United States, and even climb a step further.

In the future, it may fall on the young man in front of him.

This is also the reason why the two of them, as well as the other big oil men who received the invitation, came early and gave Abel a lot of face.
