“Pure consumption…” Fei Kexin frowned, contemting the concept. Still feeling a bit perplexed, she hesitantly asked, “Mr. Wade, could you borate on that?” Charlie responded earnestly, “


    “To put it simply, take the Rothschild family, whose wealth exceeds ten trillion US dors. They invest their assets in tangible industries that demonstrate value—such as mining, precious stones, investments in Fortune 500panies, or even setting up banks. Through these banks, they lend money to other businesses, earning high interest or even acquiring equity in return.”


    “Even when funds are spent, they are still ounted for; it’s merely a shift in asset form. For instance, if I have 100 million US dors in cash and I spend 50 million on a luxury home in New York, my total assets now consist of 50 million in cash and 50 million in real estate…”


    “Alternatively, I could invest 20 million in a house, another 20 million in stocks, another 20 million for a 20 percent stake in an oil well, and yet another 20 million for a renowned painting, while keeping 20 million in cash as working capital. Although I’ve spent 80 million dors, I’ve simply transformed my assets into different forms, which may appreciate in value over time.”


    As he spoke, Charlie shifted gears, saying, “Now, if I were to invest 80 million of that 100 million dors into training a group of unknown soldiers, that 80 million dors would be transformed intobat power. Others would evaluate my assets and assume I only have 20 million dors. However, if necessary, I could unleash these trained soldiers—worth 80 million—who could easily eliminate ten so-called wealthy individuals, each with assets of 100 million dors.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Upon hearing this, Fei Kexin recalled the recent events surrounding Charlie’s grandfather and grandmother’s family. A realization dawned on her, and she eximed with rm, “Mr. Wade, I think I understand your point… Are you suggesting that some elite families have moved beyond merely amassing wealth to disy their power? Instead, they may have converted vast amounts of capital into formidable, hiddenbat forces?”


    “Exactly,” Charlie affirmed with a nod. “This concept is deeplyyered. For example, over the past few months, I have made significant investments in Wanlong Pce, totaling over 10 billion dors.”


    “This money is not even directly in my possession, and thebat capabilities developed by Wanlong Pce won’t be reflected in any rankings of the wealthy;”


    “If, in theing years, I invest over 100 billion, or even trillions, into Wanlong Pce or simr organizations, but my verifiable assets remain only at 100 billion, I may appear to others as a billionaire. Yet, in terms of actual strength, I could be far more powerful than a trillionaire.”


    As he continued, Charlie added, “The mysterious organization that targeted my grandfather’s family likely trained two to three hundred soldiers over the years, alongside countless other operatives globally.”


    “The investment in these operatives over the centuries amounts to an astonishingly high figure!”


    “However, such expenditures would not be reflected in any rich list.”


    “It’s possible that the resources they’ve allocated tobat efficiency over thest few hundred years, when adjusted for today’s dor value, could surpass the entire wealth of the Rothschild family. Thus, if one only focuses on visible assets, they might overlook the true scale of such a family’s influence.”


    “What is the so-called renowned Rothschild family when faced with such an unseen giant? When this mysterious organization chooses not to act, it may seem to hold the title of the world’s leading family; yet, when they do intervene, it could be considered the greatest injustice in the world!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong><fn5a60> The source of th?s content is find·novel</fn5a60>
