Chapter 1 A Desperate Battle on the Verge of Bankruptcy
"John, have you heard that Lee is going bankrupt?"
"Wait, Hanke, what did you say?"
"How could it be possible? He competed with me to buy a house a few days ago in an auction."
"I heard about it too. There is something wrong with his family. Now he is alone and helpless."
"God bless me!"
"This guy who likes to mess up the game is finally going to be out. From now on, Las Vegas will be our heaven."
"I also heard that in order to raise funds, he participated in the auction organized by Citibank and mortgaged all his industries."
"If he declared bankruptcy, the bank will take away everything he had in Las Vegas. At that time..."
"John, it's the same. You cooperate with me. We block him and kick him out…"
"Okay, let's drain the last drop of his blood."
The two fat men were talking about how to divide Lee's property as there seemed nobody beside them.
They cursed Lee unscrupulously and fiercely stared at Lee who was looking around the small building, with a fierce light in their eyes.
This guy, Lee, from New York made them suffer a lot.
Let them, a group of indigenous people who made a living by speculation had no way to go and almost all lived in the streets.
Fortunately, God bless them. Lee finally ran out of money and could no longer buy anything without scruple.
All the bosses present united in some groups, trying to kick Lee out first.
Lee, our hero, looked worried.
His handsome face frowned.
After graduating from New York University, he asked for 10 million dollars from his family.
Then he came to Las Vegas.
This was a paradise for gamblers. Everything could be gambled. Foreclosed houses, abandoned warehouses, and even long-unclaimed duffel bags could be auctioned.
Lee was a good young man. The reason why he chose to work in the capital of sin was not that he wanted to make a fortune by gambling.
He came here to collect intellectual tax. No, no, it should be said that he did business step by step.
For example, others bought foreclosed houses, which was completely like opening blind boxes.
They prayed that the furniture inside was complete and the decoration was luxurious. As long as the house they bought didn't exceed the market price, they could sell it at a good price.

Lee's Goodboy Real Estate Company would sell all the second-hand furniture after buying the foreclosed house. Then they would redecorate the house and buy new furniture.
Outsiders wanted to live in ready-made houses, and the renovated houses were very tempting to them.
After some operations, the price would often be far higher than the market price.
There was never a shortage of rich people in Las Vegas. They could live in these houses directly, so many people would pay for Lee.
Therefore, Lee's career was in full swing, which was about to become bigger and stronger, and he would live a shameless life with the beautiful girls.
Something happened at home in New York.
His father and elder brother had made a risky and bold decision, which caused the capital chain of the real estate company to break.
Now everything that can be mortgaged at home was mortgaged, including the foundation he laid overseas in the last year.
On the phone, his father scolded his elder brother in front of him. At the same time, his father hoped that Lee could come back early to help him deal with the follow-up matters.
To be honest, it was true that Lee was disappointed in his father's preference for his elder brother.
Since he was a child, he had been working harder than his brother in order to get his father's approval.
After his elder brother took over all the properties of the family, Lee knew that he had lost, completely lost.
Heartbroken, he refused 50 million from his elder brother and came to a foreign country with only 10 million he got when splitting the family.
He wanted to lay down his own business on another land with his own ability.
But his father's begging softened his heart.
After all, that was his biological brother and the relationship couldn't be cut.
Now he only had 200 thousand dollars left. The auction organized by Citibank was a desperate battle.
He wouldn't admit defeat. Even if he used up the last penny today, he would affirmatively bite a piece of fat in the situation of being surrounded by a group of wolves!
"Ding! You successfully unlocked the divine-level hint system which was loading the surrounding scenes."
"Data loading, please wait a moment..."
What was the hell?
Lee was taken aback by the prompt text in shadow.
He rubbed his eyes, and his hand passed through the text. He couldn't touch it, and only he could see these two texts.
It seemed that it was not a trick from the foreigner. He seemed to have really activated some system.
He shook his head. It was not the right time to study the system. He had to focus on bidding on the foreclosed house, or he would cry if he missed a potential house when the auction began.
Judging from some clues, the house in front of him was worth a lot.
There were still some sand and cement left outside the garage, which must have been renovated recently.
The renovated house could save a lot of money for decoration. Even if the transaction price was slightly higher than the market price, Lee thought there was still room for a premium.
Ignoring other people's disdain, Lee sniffed through the crack of the garage door.
The familiar pungent smell and the heavy smell of formalin eased his frown a little. He was going to take the house.
Noticing Lee's expression, John and Hanke guessed that Lee must have found something.
They made a gesture tacitly and were ready to make a move!
"Please note that the garage of this house has been illegally modified into a bedroom. Its value has been greatly reduced, far lower than the market price of 150 thousand dollars. Be careful!"
What was the hell?
It was not redecoration, but illegal modification?
If the hint was true, if Lee bought the house, he would have to rectify the illegally modified bedroom before selling it. Not only would he not make money, but he would also lose a large sum of money.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling scared.
