Thomas received fair money for a kilo of gold. Not for the historical value of the piece sold. Nor was he paid a good price for it. 800 $ a gram... Anyway... No invoice, with old bills, in 4. plastic bags All stored in an old toyota hiace diesel he bought at an auction. He was confident that the 160 bales of 500 $100 bills were complete in the 4 bags he was carrying. Nervously he moved on hoping not to get a police hold.

He sighed with relief when he parked at the hospital....

He had made several purchases and always with a cold sweat on his back from nerves.... Now he was not at the rooftop pool parties of Hong Kong's well-to-do kids...

-- We are in competition again... Albeit in a different league... -- he said as he watched his friends on Instagram die off, Zoom, Duo and Whassap remained unmoved, and his Tik Tok no longer had any followers.
