Chapter 1060: Chapter 425 Billionaire Chapter 1060: Chapter 425 Billionaire After plundering Zhu Fen’s estate, Wang Tao quickly calculated the value of the Crystal Cores, which totaled 140 million Crystal Coins!

Including the Crystal Coins Wang Tao already had, he now possessed about two hundred million and a few million more.

“I’ve become a billionaire just like that!”

Wang Tao chuckled a bit.

It had to be said, Zhu Fen really was a talent at making money, too bad she didn’t use it for good.

But after seeing the member list of the Dusk Church, Wang Tao could understand–none of Zhu Fen’s followers were poor, each name was followed by a long string of titles.

One could say she had vigorously harvested the wealthy individuals in the base.

Wang Tao took these Crystal Cores, as for other assets, he wasn’t interested. Now wasn’t like the time before the apocalypse, houses weren’t of much significance, having a place to live was enough for him.

“But what should I do with these people…”
Looking at the thick list in his hands, Wang Tao fell into a dilemma.

Truth be told, these people hadn’t committed any terrible crimes, they were merely exploited by Zhu Fen, all pitiable.

But it was definitely not okay to ignore them, as they were like countless ticking time bombs, ready to go off at any moment. Even though Zhu Fen was dead and nobody was deliberately directing them, their addiction would definitely lead to some undesirable incidents. So Wang Tao couldn’t be careless, and if he couldn’t find a good solution soon, he was prepared to gather them and enforce detoxification!

Even though this might offend some people, Wang Tao didn’t care, as long as he could defuse these “time bombs”…

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue returned to the villa, and he briefly shared the events of the previous night with Ding Yuqin and the others.

Hearing that one of the commissioners turned out to be a member of the Dusk Church, everyone was somewhat incredulous; they obviously couldn’t understand why the commissioner would debase himself.

However, when Wang Tao displayed the recently seized assets–worth two hundred million in Crystal Cores–everyone seemed to instantly understand.

Not only could he make a lot of money, but he also gained physical pleasure and had something to look forward to… For those who couldn’t awaken, this was indeed a delightful situation.

However, this was obviously ineffective for Ding Yuqin and the others; under Wang Tao’s leadership, their goal was very clear–become stronger.

And not only did they have the opportunity, but some had already become stronger. It was just Awakening, no big deal!

After Wang Tao finished talking with everyone, Jiang Hui called. He informed Wang Tao that the imprisoned men had been rescued.

When Wang Tao left, he had contacted Jiang Hui and told him about the villa’s location and the situation inside, and had also directly stated that this was one of Zhu Fen’s properties.

At that time, while Wang Tao was alone with Zhu Fen, he surely learned some information, and Jiang Hui of course knew this, so he wasn’t surprised, and he didn’t ask many questions either.

He knew what he should and shouldn’t know.

This time he had accomplished great feats–finding the killer, destroying the cult, and eliminating the corrupt… Any of these feats alone could guarantee his promotion and a salary increase, and all this thanks to Wang Tao!

Jiang Hui clearly understood his role; he absolutely wouldn’t let himself know what he shouldn’t, and he would definitely not gossip. No matter how much good stuff Wang Tao could find in the houses left by Zhu Fen, that was all Wang Tao’s business, he wasn’t involved at all, and he wouldn’t even report it, not wanting to cause any trouble for Wang Tao.

So when Jiang Hui sensed that Wang Tao was not very concerned about his reputation, he immediately told Wang Tao that it was his men who found Zhu Fen’s left-behind houses, and that it had nothing to do with Wang Tao.

Wang Tao was very satisfied with Jiang Hui, so he told him about some other properties left by Zhu Fen.

Wang Tao only took some portable items; there were still many valuable things inside, including the houses themselves, which couldn’t be wasted.

This was yet another great achievement for Jiang Hui–extracting so much useful information just before Zhu Fen’s death was a feat no less significant than the previous ones!

Jiang Hui excitedly told Wang Tao that after this incident, he was likely to be directly promoted to Deputy Director. That was a conservative estimate, and as for the ambitious one… he didn’t dare think, he couldn’t even imagine it.

Seeing this situation, Wang Tao asked if he had communicated with the imprisoned “Beastkin.” Jiang Hui said no, he was just about to send those men to the hospital.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao immediately told him not to send people to the hospital yet as they would probably be “suicided” if they were. He instructed him to first find out what those men knew, and it would be best to have the members of the Six Major Legions present.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui started to tremble with excitement.

What did Wang Tao mean by that? Was there a bigger fish? Must have the members of the Six Major Legions present, didn’t that mean this big fish might be at the commissioner level?

If it was as he suspected, he wouldn’t just be a Deputy Director; possibly, he could even become the Director?

However, toppling someone at the commissioner level was almost impossible, even if he was the chief of police by then… but it also depended on which commissioner.

Since Wang Tao had expressly said to have the members of the Six Major Legions present, it clearly indicated that the “big fish” was not one of them. That put Jiang Hui at ease! After all, the Six Major Legions were currently the strongest in the base, and as long as they were fine, he didn’t have much to worry about.
