Chapter 73 - 47 (2/2)
Bruce ordered Alfred, ” Give me all the transactions he made in the past few hours since this incident happened. ”
Alfred inserted a flash drive which has marked the areas brought along with details on what they are.
” He has bought three hospitals, five hotel, ten malls and a couple of private schools and universities in Gotham, and the cities close to Gotham.
There are some winery, hardware and transportation industries which are now under the control of Allens.
In total, they have spent nearly two billion dollars to buy the properties which were worth more than ten billion. ” he turns to Bruce with a hint of mockery in the face, ” Mr. Allens is a better businessman than you, Master Wayne. ”
Brice took notice of the areas where Thomas has spread his tentacles. ” He has established his hold by using this crisis. He has penetrated not only in Gotham, but also in Star City and Meteropolis.” He sighed helplessly. ”We cannot touch him after this incident. He is diplomatically immune.” A sense of helplessness run through him.
” What do you mean, Master Wayne? Surely long as he is caught with enough proofs behind his crime, he will be persecuted. ” Alfred still felt that no matter how powerful Thomas has become economically he can still be forced to obey the rules.
Bruce shook his head and explained, ” I have went through all his ledgers and bank statements. I know how much money he has under his control. In America, you can fool all the departments but not tax department.
They will get you, should you evade tax deposit. This is something every rich man knows.
He only have around 500 million dollars in his control. That is the amount of cash Allens group has out and not invested in their different businesses. ” he saw Alfred following him so far and continued, ”These people are running. This meant they will want money directly in their account or cash in hand.
But they lack 1.5 billion dollars. The only place I know from where they can get so much cash without any leverage or loan.” He stopped and let Alfred catch on this on his own.
” He sold his super soldier serum to the Military for the quick transfer of property. The military will seize this chance to get more funds for their growth.
They bought from Allens and increased their dominance while preparing a number of back up plans should the ȧssociated agencies fail to fulfil the task. ” Alfred controlled the company in his master stead to a certain extent and made sure it wasn't lost.
He knows business and from all this he understood Thomas Allens used this chance to become an irreplaceable part of Military like Lex Luthur has done in the past.
” I can already see him laughing at me. He is probably thinking about the sour look I might have after I discovered his little trick. ” Bruce snorted out unhappily. He knows if he was sane mind earlier, he would have stopped the penetration of Allens but he lost the chance.
A young boy who wasn't even twenty managed to fool him once and prepare a golden opportunity for his rise.
” I don't like that brat one bit ” he angrily breathed out. Meanwhile Alfred can only shake his head on this.
His master was distracted by Thomas once again. He noticed a certain garbage truck making way to Gotham through the bridge.
He reported, ” Master Wayne, it seems the cavalry has arrived. ”
