Chapter 416 Offended

Once again, the room fell into silence as the couple waited for Ashton's answer.

"I would love to give you more time to think about it... But I've heard your enemies are already looking for you. What if…" Jiang Yue widened her eyes and lowered her voice. "What if they find out about your wife and daughter?"

"Alright! I agree!" Ashton blurted out. Jiang Yue's words reminded him that he did not have the luxury to think about things that he was about to leave behind. "Do you have a computer that I can use?"

"I do." She raised an eyebrow. "May I know why you want to use it?"

"I want to give you access to all of the Kim Empires operations both in this country and online," he explained as he followed Jiang Yue towards the computer. "I don't have the power to introduce you to my people now since most of them are either too scared to show their faces or are already dead. After this, you will be the owner of the Kim Empire. You will be on your own, Miss Jiang..."

Jiang Yue and Fu Jin did not answer Ashton, both of them knew that it would be difficult. However, who said that Jiang Yue would be alone in all of that? She still had Fu Jin. And that was all she needed to conquer the world.

Of course, all of that was just Fu Jin's wishful thinking.

However, it did not mean that he would not support her anyway. After all, Fu Jin was still Jiang Yue's number one supporter.

"Alright... Here are the files. When will you arrange for our new identities?" Ashton asked bluntly after he gave Jiang Yue access to their financial files as well as the operations of the Kim Empire.

Jiang Yue did not answer him, instead, Fu Jin handed him a folder and a duffel bag. "This bag contains your disguise information with five hundred dollars cash of untraceable bills. In the folder, you can find your new documents-IDs and passports. After this transaction, you will anonymously leave this hotel with your family and take a private boat towards the nearby island with an airport. Your tickets were already arranged as well as your destination. You will have a new property in a suburban area abroad, and a new job in a small university as a professor. Is it good enough?"

Ashton held his breath the whole time that Fu Jin was speaking, he did not want to miss a single word from him. "What about my cover?"

"The private boat that you will use to the island will explode in the middle of the sea. Of course, by then you will be on your way to the island on the board of an anonymous passenger boat. Rumors will be spread that you were killed with your family on your way to escape your enemies. As for the people who killed you? No one will find them."

Ashton's eyes glimmered with tears when he heard about Jiang Yue and Fu Jin's arrangements. "I... I can't thank you enough."

"Here is my number... It's encrypted. You can use it to call me. Don't worry, it's untraceable." Jiang Yue added while giving him a small card with nothing but a bunch of numbers. "There are five numbers on this card. Dial the fourth one to reach me."

Ashton held the card in his hand as he stared at the couple in awe. His eyes were sparkling with gratitude. "Thank you. I wish you all the luck with the Empire," he said sincerely before walking out of the room. Relief was written all over his face. After this, he would be free and safe from his enemies. It was something that he owed to the couple from now on.

.....

Both Jiang Yue and Fu Jin stared at the bunch of information in front of them. To their surprise, the network of the Kim Empire went beyond their imagination. No wonder Ashton's grandfather said that they would not profit if they had a deal with the people who asked for their help in M Country.

Just by those files, Jiang Yue could see that the Kim Empire was a very well-established company that specialized in power. Literally. Plantations and energy factories were their top business. However, it all was just a front for their illegal diamond mine and firearm businesses in various countries.

"Ashton is remarkable." Fu Jin blurted out after seeing the amount of money that their illegal business was bringing to the Kim Family.

"He had no choice." Jiang Yue said. "He has offended the Vercello Family."

"You mean?"

"Yes… he might not survive this night." Jiang Yue looked at the window, her gaze becoming dark. The smile on her face that was plastered not too long ago was gone, replaced with coldness. "He did not say it, but for some reason, he has offended the Vercello Family. That's the main reason he wanted to hide and have a new life."
