Chapter 40: An otherworldy hammer
All the men in the room had money and all of them were experts at reading and analyzing contracts. They silently read and studied the brochures from the beginning to the end.
It was a quick read; five minutes was all one needed to peruse through the content.
Sheldon Sagan, the youngest of the millionaires in the group was the first to speak up. "You are telling us that this brochure originated from Hades’s manor."
Jon nodded. "Boxes were carried out and handed to part timers for distribution all over the city. Some were flown out on helicopters."
"His wife’s sister is in bed with the cult dude." Karl tossed the brochure on the table dismissively. "Maybe he has joined them."
Cory scoffed. "Hades Quinn believes in Hades Quinn and he trusts in Hades Quinn. There is no way the wolf would fall for Pastor Salem’s scams."
Jin nodded. "I agree. If he was with Pastor Salem, he would be planning to move to that so called holy land the cult is preparing. Instead, he decided to sell off his assets, expand the land he owns in Westbrook, build three walls, stock food and supplies and buy enough weapons to start his own private militia.
I don’t know what is going on, but I just thought that I should share what I know. We are all businessmen, and we have all lost deals to the son of a bitch. When your opponent is doing something unusual then you should start taking notes--you never know when odd becomes genius.
That is how Hades squeezed his way into the business world. So, do with this information what you will." He stood up and grabbed his coat. "Oh, he also bought a lot of gold and apparently took a lot of cash from his bank. I am getting a sense of crisis, which is why I also acquired gold, silver and diamonds." He gave his friends a two-finger salute. "Stay alive and safe until we meet again gentlemen."
