I'm A Quadrillionaire novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262
David left, leaving Lucas and the others to deal with the aftermath since they were more experienced with things like this.
Lucas told David that those female team members were from Team Spider, the team in charge of Falcon’s intelligence network. He also told David to just contact them if there was any additional information he needed and that these women would inform David if they found any new leads. With that, they exchanged contacts.
David indeed saw the spider motif on their arms.
His uniform should have the vulture motif as well, but he had never worn it since receiving the uniform.
Once he got back to Starry Night Hotel, David felt rather an urgent need to grow stronger. What happened today was extremely dangerous, and had his mind power been any weaker, he might not have sensed danger in time and lost his life.
Even if he did not die, a sniper rifle of such a powerful caliber would surely cripple him.
It was terrifying.
He had to raise his lavish points to one thousand and enhance his mind power so that it could break through ordinary limits. A person’s mind power was just too important.
It could sense dangers before it happened.
Not only did he need to enhance his mind power, but also his physical stats as well.
He was still too weak now but there was already someone targeting him.
More importantly, he did not even know who his enemy was.
Not knowing was the most terrifying of all.
What if a powerful assassin like Lucas came after him again?
He could not guarantee being able to escape safely from masters like Lucas or Leeman.
At the very least, David had to enhance his martial ability to those two’s levels or he might not feel safe.
He needed an abundance of lavish points for that!
How can I earn more lavish points in a logical way?’ David thought before calling Pearl.
“Hello, Mr. Lidell!” Pearl greeted from the other end of the line.
“Miss Pearl, there are some things I want to buy so help me look for them. I’d like you to buy them as soon as possible, and buy the best there is. Money isn’t a problem,” David said.
“What would you like to buy?” Pearl asked. “I want an island, an aircraft, and a cruise. Get both a jet and a helicopter, and buy the most luxurious cruise ship there is.”
“Are you sure you want to buy these things, Mr. Lidell? I think it’d be more cost-effective to use the money on investing. Those things will only depreciate in value, so you won’t earn anything from them,” Pearl persuaded.
“It’s fine. Just invest as I say-money isn’t a problem. Oh, and progress is a little slow so speed it up, okay? If you think you’ve recruited enough people, so assign those reliable to other provinces and cities for development! I want to have East League International become a world -class investment company.”
“Alright, I understand, Mr. Lidell!” Pearl replied.
Since David had already given the order, there was nothing more she needed to say. She was just curious about where David got the money from.
Not even wealthy families would allow their son to spend money like this.
She was so confused.
Not that she was in any position to interfere.
A secret base in Capital City.
Lucas was currently waiting for Tucker’s lab report.
An old man with a mask walked out of the lab.
“How is it, Old Cole?” Lucas asked.
“The sniper’s a customized model from Falconia’s black market. Its bullets are also specially manufactured to deal a great amount of damage. He also has several different kinds of special firearms on him, and according to our analysis, these weapons must’ve been broken down into small parts and shipped into the country. But as to how they were shipped over, well, we’re not too sure about that. It’s obvious, though, that this man is very skilled with
firearms,” Old Cole reported.
“The most crucial part of this case are these firearms. We need to know how they got into the country. We have to find out and break that supply chain, or society will be put at great risk if these guns find their ways to gangsters and other criminals,” Lucas said.
“Tell your men to go easy next time. This guy’s strong enough to be a Tiger Ranker, and yet his organs are completely crushed. There’s not a single unbroken bone in his upper half. People like him are much more useful alive than dead,” Old Cole berated.
“He’s new. I’ll tell him to hold back next time.”
“Oh? Team Vulture has a new member?” Old Cole asked.
“Yeah, a Number Ten!”
David did not leave his hotel room for the next few days, afraid that he would get shot in the head if he walked out. He did not even know who his enemy was.
He could not guarantee that he would be able to sense danger again like he did last time.
He still had too much money to spend, so he could not die so soon.
He kept the curtains tightly shut and did not dare to walk close to the windows.
There was a building as tall as the hotel opposite his room, and he was afraid that someone would try to shoot him from the opposite building.
Fortunately, under his constant calls and urging, he had gained quite a bit from purchases in Springfield and Capital City.
He had up to 578 lavish points now. 1
His employees had already contacted channels to purchase islands, aircraft, and cruises. He could purchase them any time and earn a big deal of lavish points.
David did this all while sitting patiently in Starry Night Hotel’s grand luxury suite.
He had already decided that he was not going to leave the room until he achieved his mind power breakthrough.
Nothing was more important than his life.
When he had nothing to do, he would message Celia or the high school group chat.
Team Spider had contacted him yesterday and told him that they found the man who lured him to the alley. The man was a local in Capital City and came from a rather wealthy family, but had a gambling addiction which had caused his wife and children to leave him.
The man had a huge debt and was offered a hundred thousand just to lure David to the alley, s o he did as he was told.
Without a doubt, Tucker must have been the person behind the offer.
‘F*cking hell!
This one hundred thousand had almost cost David his life.
Another day passed, which was by now the third day since David had locked himself in the room.
On this day, Pearl finally called David and told him that she had already contacted the channels of everything he wanted to buy.
However, because of such a sudden demand, the prices were slightly higher.
David did not care whether things were most costly or not. In fact, he was elated that they were more costly now.
After transferring the money to Pearl, David started to wait for his lavish points to grow.
From afternoon to nighttime, there had been three updates to his lavish points. He had earned a total of almost three hundred points, reaching a total of 864 points.
David did not care how he was spending his money as long as it gave him more lavish points. Then he transferred all those new assets under East League International’s name.
He needed around a hundred more points before he reached one thousand lavish points. This meant he had more than ten billion dollars to spend.
Not to mention that a lavish point of one thousand could only upgrade his mind power to the same level as his body stats.
He still needed more lavish points before he could further enhance his mind and body power.
Therefore, David mentally swept through the people he knew and tried to find someone who could help him earn more lavish points in the shortest time.
