The Tyrant Billionaire

The lights in the room were dim.

Simon sat on the chair, feeling uneasy and not knowing what kind of treatment he would encounter next.

He suspected that the people who had captured him were likely from the mafia, but he couldn't guess who they were exactly.

The door opened and Bill walked in with several people.

"Hello, Mr. Charles Simon."

Simon looked at the young man in front of him strangely. "Who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Bill. I came to see Mr. Simon today to discuss some matters."   Simon suppressed his emotions. "I don't know what we have to discuss."

"Before we discuss, there are some things I need to inform you about, Mr. Simon. Dani is dead, killed in Colombia," Bill said.

Simon's face changed. Dani was his boss. If Dani was dead, the Spanish gang would be at a loss. But immediately, doubt arose in his mind. Dani was a powerful figure. How could he be easily killed?

"Don't you believe it?" Bill asked, pulling out a check from his pocket.

Simon recognized the check immediately. It was one he had prepared for Dani.

Seeing the check, Simon had no more doubts.

Bill put away the check and continued smiling. "I also want to tell you that we were behind the robbery at your casino, the attacks on drug transactions, and Bernstein's death."

Simon was shocked. These attacks had dealt a severe blow to the Spanish gang, and Dani had never been able to find out who was responsible. He never expected it to be these people standing before him.

"What do you want?" Simon asked nervously.

"Mr. Simon, you were Dani's strategist, controlling all of the Spanish gang's operations. My request is simple, hand over all the assets of the Spanish gang," Bill said.

"No, I don't have that authority. Dani is the core of the gang, the others won't listen to me," Simon replied helplessly.

"We are aware of that. Now we need your cooperation. If you cooperate well, your wife and four children will continue to live happily," Bill said.

Upon hearing about his family, Simon's already fragile mental defenses collapsed. "No, please don't touch my family. I'll cooperate with you."

Bill smiled. "Good choice. Now call all the leaders and have them assemble at the financial company for a meeting, saying there's an important announcement."

Simon obediently made the calls.

The Spanish gang's financial company was an independent office building. Late at night, cars drove into the yard, and people got out, greeting each other.

"Why did Simon call us here so late?"

"I don't know. He said there's an important announcement. What major thing could he have?"

"I guess the boss asked him to inform us of something. Let's go, it's time."

The Spanish gang originally had twelve leaders, including Cook, who was the first to be taken out by Hardy. Later, the head of the casino and another leader were killed during the drug deal attack, followed by two more who were investigating Hardy.

In total, more than a third of the leaders were eliminated.

Seven leaders sat in the conference room. Simon walked in and took the main seat, followed by two young men, one of whom wore an eye patch.

"Simon, why did you call us here so late and claim there's an important announcement?" One leader said impatiently.

Some of these people had followed Dani from the beginning, much earlier than Simon. They only respected Simon for his accounting skills.

Simon steadied himself and looked at them. "Dani has handed over the Spanish gang to me. He's found a good place to retire. Now I'm the boss of the Spanish gang, and from now on, everything here is under my control."

The seven leaders were stunned, then one stood up and began shouting at Simon.

"Impossible! I don't believe it!"

"Simon, are you still half asleep and talking nonsense here?"

"I know the boss went to Colombia to arrange shipments. How does that become a retirement? and you said he handed over the Spanish gang to be under your control? bullshit."

One guy stared at Simon fiercely and shouted:

"Simon, you are planning to rob the Spanish gang while Boss Dani is out. I will kill you now."

The man said and took out his gun.

But before he could draw his gun, a gunshot rang out. The man's head now had a bullet hole in it.

The one who fired was the one-eyed man behind Simon.

Two more leaders pulled out their guns, and two more shots rang out. The remaining four leaders were finally subdued.

"Simon, don't kill me. I agree to you being the boss," the head of the casino said loudly when he realized the situation was turning against him.

Survival was the top priority, no matter the circumstances.

Just then, the door opened, and several stern looking young men entered from outside. They carried away the bodies and restrained the remaining four leaders, then left together.

In the adjacent room,

Hardy and Lancer were smoking.

When things in the conference room were over, Lancer asked Hardy, "What are you going to do next?"

Hardy smiled.

"It's simple. Our people will gradually take over the assets of the Spanish gang. Currently, they still operate high interest loan companies, underground fighting arenas, and brothels. As for the casinos, Simon said they are almost renovated. We'll open them as soon as they're ready.These leaders of the Spanish gang should be dealt with.

As for those subordinates, kick them out after taking over the property."

Even if the Spanish Gang has been disbanded by killing the leaders, there is no need to kill all the subordinates; Hardy is not a killer who finds pleasure in murder, as long as the goal is achieved.

Lancer looked at Hardy with some admiration.

Hardy's plan could be said to be much more efficient than their previous plans, mainly because it could quietly take over the entire Spanish gang without causing any major chaos or conflict, which was crucial.

And this way of taking over the industry would make it more comprehensive and valuable.

Hardy did not personally handle these matters; Bill was responsible, and he was doing his best to train Bill as the second boss.

The next day,

The servers who delivered alcohol to nightclubs and bars were replaced. When asked why, they replied with a smile that they were reassigned to other businesses, and now they were in charge here.

The people responsible for the safety of bars and nightclubs at night were also replaced.

A new manager was appointed for the underground fighting arena. The fighters in the underground arena were not from the Spanish gang; they mainly came from gyms or clubs. The change in management had no impact.

Taking over the brothel was relatively simple. The original manager, accompanied by a few associates, took care of a group of prostitutes. Now that the manager had changed, the prostitutes remained unaffected by the change in leadership.

As for the high interest loan company, Simon was originally in charge. He knew more about this area than anyone else, so the takeover was straightforward.

In just a few days,

The Spanish gang underwent a major transformation. All the original leaders disappeared, replaced by new faces. And all of this was done quietly, without anyone noticing.

The only one left was Simon.

One day, Lancer knocked on Hardy's office door, followed by bodyguards carrying a box.

Lancer had the bodyguards place the box directly on Hardy's desk and then asked them to leave.

"What's in the box?" Hardy asked curiously.

"Good stuff. We found a hidden room in Dani's villa, and inside was a safe. This box contains everything from the safe," Lancer said with a smile.

He then gestured for Hardy to open it and take a look.

Hardy lifted the lid of the box and first saw several bundles of cash.

"Lots of cash, I guess this was Dani's emergency fund." Lancer said.

Next were some asset documents, such as ownership certificates for the villa, and documents indicating ownership in other companies like movie studios and talent agencies.

There was also a small pouch that felt light but contained a surprise when opened. Inside were several diamonds of various sizes, some as small as a carat and others as large as five carats, in both white and pink. They were beautifully cut, reflecting a colorful light in the sunlight.

After safely storing the diamonds, Hardy discovered a file folder at the bottom of the box. It felt thick and heavy, indicating it contained many documents.

Hardy opened the folder and found a stack of photos inside.

The photos depicted various men and women in different poses and locations, engaging in various activities. Hardy thought these could be actors from Dani's little movie studio.

He hadn't expected Dani to have a collection of these kinds of photos.

Lancer picked out a photo from the pile and placed it in front of Hardy.

In the photo,

A man in his forties was engaged in friendly conversation with a woman in her twenties.

Lancer pointed at the man in the photo. "This man is Mike Johnson, the deputy mayor of Los Angeles. I don't know who the woman is, but she's definitely not his wife."

Lancer then picked out another photo from the pile. In this one, a middle aged man in his fifties was accompanied by a very attractive young girl.

"This man is the director of the Los Angeles Water and Power Department."

"There are a total of eight sets of photos here, each person with several photos or even dozens. I haven't figured out who all these people are, but they are definitely prominent figures in Los Angeles," Lancer said.

Hardy looked at the photos, a smile playing on his lips.

He had to thank Dani for leaving behind such a rich legacy,
