Villain: Transmigrated Into A NTR Manga As The Antagonist

Chapter 144: Acquiring a Vast Fortune

Chapter 144: Acquiring a Vast Fortune

Alex returned to the penthouse after cleaning up from the breakfast he had made for himself and Amahle. He did not drive the armored Mercedes back to his mother’s casino instead; he took another car.

After all, he did not want to attract any unnecessary attention, especially when he considered the fact that the authorities were still desperately searching for the man responsible for the shooting that occurred the previous night.

Interestingly enough, the internet had come up with a creative nickname for the gunman. One which made Alex laugh. “Happy the trigger-happy clown” was a certified meme in some of the more capricious circles of the internet, with people making fan art of Alex while he was dressed up for the attack.

But Alex was not aware of this until after he returned to the penthouse. Where his women swarmed him. They had no idea where Alex had gone last night, or what he had done. But after the news that had made national headlines, they were extremely worried about his safety.

“Alex! Thank god you’re alright!”

“I thought you were dead! Why didn’t you answer my messages last night?”

“Don’t ever scare me like that again!”

The various scoldings Alex received for dropping off of the face of the earth during such a dangerous time, was not something Alex was particularly looking forward to. All he could really admit to was that he had found out who was behind the attacks.

“Relax… I’m fine. I just got a little distracted. I followed Chad to his meeting with the assassin and managed to get the drop on the bitch. I spent the night interrogating her about who her employer was, and by the time she broke, and admitted to me that it was none other than Dick, come to find out someone else had already murdered the bastard. Evidently, one of the hitmen he hired had turned against him, because you all saw what happened last night.

Though Alex’s story was a little farfetched, none of his women questioned him. After all, they refused to believe that the man they loved was a mass murderer who had indiscriminately killed dozens of innocent security guards in pursuit of his bastard of a stepfather.

There was, of course, one exception to this. And that was Chun-Hei, who eyed Alex as if the man was completely full of shit. Though she did not say a word to her “sister’s” about her misgivings, because she did not wish to alert the girls.

However, Chun-Hei did ask Alex for a private discussion, and this was before all the other women could fully get their fill of their man, who had just returned safely to them after they feared for his life for an entire night.

“Alex… May I have a word with you in private? Please, it is important!”

Alex sighed heavily and nodded his head and agreed while he assured the other women that he would be right with them.

“Don’t worry girls, I’ll be right back, and then we can all discuss what happens next….”

After saying this, Alex followed Chun-Hei into his bedroom, where once the door was closed, she immediately chastised him for his reckless actions.

“What the fuck, Alex? What have you done? Do you have any idea how much trouble you will be in if people find out that you are responsible for this?”

Alex, of course, spoke rather cryptically as he avoided outright admitting to murdering eighty people the night before.

“I only did what was necessary to protect my family… Anything else can be blamed on this “Happy the trigger-happy clown.” That’s what they’re calling the gunman, right?”

Chun-Hei stared at Alex as if he were a complete and total stranger. Since meeting Alex, her sense of justice and morality had begun to become a bit twisted, but in many ways, she still clung onto her more idealistic beliefs. And thus she was quick to attack Alex for what he did.

“Alex! If you found proof of Richard’s wrongdoing, you should have gone to the police! Do you not see the level of terror and destruction this vigilante style justice has caused? Why would you do such a thing?”

Alex rolled his eyes and shook his head before explaining to the young detective why his actions were necessary.

“Chun-Hei, this isn’t south Korea… Richard was a billionaire, he practically ran this fucking city! There is no crime he could have possibly committed where the charges would stick. In no conceivable reality, would a jury find him guilty?

Conspiracy to commit murder? Who the hell cares when the jury can be bought and paid for? Hell, if I had actually brought the case to the police, it probably never would have even made it to a trial to begin with. Not when Richard was the one who got the DA into office! There is no such thing as justice is in this country!

Not when it comes to those who rule over us from their ivory towers! If you want justice in the United States, you have to take it for yourself! You come from an actual functional society, so you would never understand how things work here….”

Chun-Hei honestly did not know how to respond to this. She could only sit down on the man’s bed and sigh heavily. Alex had commonly talked about how corrupt the United States was, especially during those few times when they were in bed together alone at night. But if what he said was true, then perhaps this was really the only way to save Alex and his mother.

Still, the idea that so many innocent men had to die did not sit right with Chun-Hei and she was quick to complain to Alex about this.

“Even if what you say is true, and there is no hope for justice in this country without taking it for yourself. Did you really have to kill all those security guards? Were they not innocent in all of this?”

Alex immediately began to mock Chun-Hei’s naivety once more, as he told her about what happened the previous night.

“Innocent? Far from it! I mean, sure, if they had allowed me to waltz into Dick’s office and get the job done without incident, I would have gladly done so. But the moment I walked into that casino with that mask on, they pulled out their guns and tried to search me. They were not exactly innocent in all of this. It was war, and they were the soldiers of my enemy. They picked their side, and they lost. There is no point in crying over spilled milk Chun-Hei.”

Though Alex’s reasoning was not exactly something that Chun-Hei agreed with. She had to admit that Alex had done what was necessary to protect himself and his loved ones. Which included her. Because the moment she and the other girls entered Vegas, they had walked onto a battlefield. Thus, the blue-haired beauty sighed heavily and shook her head, before agreeing to drop the matter.

“Alright… I understand. Just promise me that you will never do anything like this ever again!”

Alex, of course, smirked in response to this, and made the promise, albeit under certain conditions.

“Alright fine, but only if nobody ever threatens me or my loved ones again. If someone else pulls the shit Dick tried, they will share the same fate!”

Knowing that this was as good as a promise as she was going to get Chun-Hei hugged Alex, and kissed him, before breaking down into tears, which she had evidently been holding back for the sole purpose of scolding the man for being so reckless.

“I was so worried about you! We all were! Please don’t make us worry like this again!”

Alex kissed the woman back and was just about to reach under her shirt and groped her when she stopped him.

“No! If we do this, the others will never forgive me! After everything that has happened, you owe us all some comfort! Not just me….”

A wide smirk appeared on Alex’s handsome face as he promised to comfort Chun-Hei and all his other women as much as they needed.

“Isn’t that what I’m best at?”

With this said, the two descended from the staircase and found the rest of the women gathered below. They were all much more relieved now that their man was back safe and sound. And curiously enough, Emily approached Alex, where she was obviously trying to hold back the tears in her eyes. She began to punch her old childhood friend in the chest, as she scolded him for scaring the shit out of her.

“God dammit Alex! I was so scared! I thought you had gotten yourself killed! What would I do without you!?!”

Alex hugged the woman and kissed her forehead in a way that caused her to blush. And in the next moment, Alex saw her points with him rise even further.

[Emily is thankful that you are safe and enjoy your emotional support!]

[+5 Affection from Emily!]

[Emily’s Affection: 55/100]

Alex would spend the rest of the day with his girls. While ensuring that they were all properly consoled about the rollercoaster of emotions they had suffered from the night before. And afterward, he would spend the next few days lying low and getting on better terms with Amahle.

—

About a week after Richard’s death, and that of his only biological child. Diana approached Alex and told him that her late husband’s lawyers wanted to speak with her. Alex knew exactly what this was about and agreed to follow her to the office. He had chosen to wear a decent suit for this occasion. After all, this would be a discussion about the division of Richard’s estate. And Alex intended to look sharp and intimidating for the occasion.

Unsurprisingly, Richard’s lawyers were representing the interests of the man’s siblings who all wanted a piece of the gambling empire that the man had built over the years. They were not the least bit happy to see Diana, her daughters, and her son. Despite the fact that Richard’s will had left everything to them, and his son Ryan, who was now deceased.

The moment Alex and his family sat down, the lawyers got down to business immediately, almost as if they were being paid hourly.

“Allow me to get straight to the point. While Mr. Johnson’s will states that his assets are to be divided between his wife Diana Johnson, his son Ryan Johnson, and his two stepdaughters, Madison and Kristina Smith. We believe it is fair to give the three of you half of Richard’s estate.

This takes into the fact that the two of you were in the middle of divorce proceedings, and the late Mr. Johnson’s siblings have it on good authority that he had planned to edit his will to remove the three of you from the document entirely. But had failed to do so before his untimely demise…

Thus, the Johnson family is willing to offer Miss… Diana half the assets of her late husband’s estate, which she was entitled to if the divorce had actually been finalized. Half… and nothing more… This, of course, under the condition that she does not contest the will.”

Diana was just about to agree to these conditions. After all, she only ever wanted the money needed to provide a comfortable life for her children. However, Alex immediately stopped her as he stood up from his seat, and begun to head for the door.

“Come along, mother, sisters. Since these scoundrels seek to cheat you all out of your inheritance, there is no point discussing with them further. We will see you all in court!”

Richard’s siblings all began to panic when the trio of women began to get up and leave. After all, they had no real proof that Richard was going to change the will. And even if they did, there was not much they could legally do to get their hands on Richard’s fortune.

In the state of Nevada, if one were to die during a divorce, so long as it was not finalized, their assets would go to their spouse, unless, of course, they had surviving children. But Ryan was also dead. This meant that everything Richard owned was legally required to go to Diana and her daughters.

This was simply a poor attempt by Richard’s siblings to swindle what they perceived to be a bimbo and her stupid daughters out of the wealth they were entitled to. But since these women appeared to know their worth, or at least the man who tagged along with them did, these scoundrels began to panic.

“Wait! Sixty percent! We will give you all sixty percent!”

However, Alex was not willing to budge on this. Why settle for 7.2 billion dollars when he could get the full twelve? Naturally, Alex scoffed as he turned around and glared at those who attempted to deny him his bounty.

After all, his mother and his sisters were his lovers. The moment they got their hands on Richard’s fortune, they would transfer it over to Alex, who would take care of the newly established family fortune, and ensure its continuous growth. With an intense glare in his eyes, Alex gave a warning to the slimy lawyer and his swindler clients.

“Allow me to make this abundantly clear to you all, my mother and sisters are entitled to the late Mr. Johnson’s fortune and assets. If there is a single cent missing, whether in terms of cold hard cash or assets, I will make sure all of you pay the full price of your thievery. Do you understand me?

I mean, isn’t there a trigger-happy clown on the loose right now? And who knows what his beef was with Richard? Perhaps he might have issues with you lot as well? If I were you, I would be doing everything I could to gain favor with the law right now… Which means not engaging in any crimes like, for example, inheritance theft….”

Richard’s siblings immediately shut up and bowed their heads as if they were a bunch of errant children who had just been scolded by their father. Meanwhile, the slimy hook-nosed lawyer began to sweat bullets, as he gave up any attempt to steal from Diana and her daughters.

“You make a persuasive argument…. I promise you that within a week, Mr. Johnson’s fortune will be transferred to his widow’s account. As for his assets, they will similarly be transferred over in her name. The only thing that needs to be taken care of will be the inheritance tax. But other than that, you will get every cent!”

Alex smirked when he heard this, before patting the greasy lawyer on the head, after which he walked out of the door, but not before leaving behind some last words.

“Be sure that you do!”

And just like this, Alex had acquired the vast fortune of the billionaire he had murdered. Which he would celebrate by buying each of the women who he had fully conquered a set of identical engagement rings.

These rings were identical to the last ones, but instead of a 5 carat heart-shaped ruby in the center, Alex had replaced the stone with an identical red diamond. Making the rings of his “fiancées” worth over 5 million dollars each.
