《Throne of World》Ch 21 | Long Family

' First Grade Bar' a golden shiny board was hanging outside a large well-illuminated place, attracting the attention of everyone passing by.
Vibrations of loud music resonated with one's heart once they were just standing in front of the door. Even though such loud music was banned inside a crowded city after 9 pm by the alliance government, but since money plays an important role in everything, the city's biggest bar was given special privileges.
Alexander and David entered the bar for their self proclaimed celebration. They were dressed quite similarly in a black hoodie, black jeans and white sneakers. With their huge bodies and handsome faces, they looked like rich second-generation children out for some fun at night.
Upon seeing them entering the bar, a greeter respectfully bowed down and asked, "Misters, do you need to book a private room? "
David just waved his hand and dragged Alexander towards the central bar counter.
This wasn't their first time coming for drinks but Alexander was different this time. In his last life, he spent every day inside laboratories and classrooms without any friends just studying and researching about unknown, so he was surprised by just looking at the number of people dancing and drinking crazily.
' This is really great! I missed all of this in my last life! I must not let this all escape this time. '
He thought with an expression of regret on his face.
As they reached the bar counter, he saw a people in all varieties of ages, from old geezers to young chaps, drinking and chatting in their groups.
Since David was more familiar with the place, he went over to the bartender who was serving an illuminated drink to a old man and inquired, " Do you have devil's tears?"
"Yes Sir"

"Then give us two glasses of Devil's Tears along with a plate of salted cashews and peanuts. "
Alexander who was looking around in amazement, excitedly looked at the price chart that was hanging just over his head and was thunderstruck.
Devil's Tears: $500 GD / Glass.
He cursed inwardly.
Fu*k! Are they selling crude oil or alcohol?
$500 per glass is too expensive for just a drink! It's really waste of money!
Since he hadn't tasted a drop of alcohol in his last life, so he didn't know that the prices of premium alcohol can really touch the heavens.
He was about to tell David to not spend too much on drinks but something else piqued his interest. He turned his head towards a group and heard the people there talking about something.
"Hey! Did you see the evening news?"
"No! What about that?"
"The bastard dog of the Long family, Long Xie was suspected of corruption again but he was cleared of all charges miraclously yet again!"
"What?! Again? That Long family is really too much! They are too active in business already and now they are stepping in politics! They only think about their own development, instead of the alliance! "
" Yeah! That's already the nth time when their dogs were charged with corruption but are declared innocent in the end! Sigh! They are already too much powerful! "
Apart from Alexander, everyone surrounding them heard their talk and just sighed.
David leaned towards Alexander and whispered,
" Brother, that Long family is really too much. Your family isn't in business but our family is really facing too much opposition. If not for uncle Max, we really don't know how we will be able to do business, smoothly."
Alexander heard all this but didn't respond as he was thinking about something incredible and devious.

He turned towards David who was eating peanuts and asked with a look of seriousness on his face, "Bro! Where can I open a bank account that cannot be traced? "
Alexander remembered that in his world there was a Swiss Bank that provided the facility of anonymous bank accounts. Through this, he can accumulate billions of dollars of funds without anyone knowing about him and suspecting him.
According to a great ruler from past,
"The first requirement of becoming a ruler is,
'Enormous Wealth'. "
Businesses can act as a power source in the modern world. People believe in companies they use daily, far more than the government elected themselves. Thus a big company with massive power can even direct people to revolt against government.
David thought for a while and said with a doubtful face, "You don't even know this? Isn't there a bank called 'Swiss Bank' that provides anonymous accounts with no upper limit? "
Alexander nodded his head smoothly after listening to his answer but then suddenly with a jerk he straightened his back.
" What did you say? "
" I said there is a Swiss Bank. "
" Fu*k! This is also possible?! "
David looked at Alexander raising his eyebrows and started eating peanuts after that.
"Why isn't this possible? "
