Chapter 347: Chapter 194 A Beautiful Day

Allen Zhang, holding the survivor coin, drove back to the recycling station on Eito Street, where Dominic was still tidying up the cans in the yard.

Seeing the General Sect Leader arrive, Dominic was also surprised: "You’ve already got that coin? Wait, whose car is this? Where did you get it from?"

Only then did he notice a Lamborghini supercar parked on the side of the road, and his expression became quite animated.

"I’ve already got the coin, and it’s indeed very valuable. Of course, this is my car."

Allen briefly described to Dominic the events that happened on the way back, and Dominic found it unbelievable that someone would be so generous – over two hundred thousand dollars just given away like that?

Allen took the coin into the house, took a picture, and listed it on the Opportunity Network’s collectibles page for sale, asking for 80,000 US dollars.

He also wrote a product description: A steel coin from 1906, once held by a survivor of the Titanic disaster in 1912. The Red Whale Auction House once auctioned it for a maximum of 75,000 US dollars, a collectible worth owning.

After consigning it, all that was left was to wait for someone to place an order. Allen also checked the net income of the recycling station for the past few days; not bad, a net profit of seven to eight hundred US dollars per day, and the account of Alfred’s recycling station had accumulated tens of thousands of dollars in earnings.

After deducting utility bills and Dominic’s share of dividends, it was all personal property of the General Sect Leader.

He wasn’t in a rush to take the money out; it wasn’t too late to transfer it when needed.

Going outside and seeing that Dominic had almost finished his day’s work, Allen suggested taking him for a spin, got into the Lamborghini, and invited him to sit in the passenger seat.

"I’m probably the first man to sit in the passenger seat after you got this car, right?" For the first time in a luxury car, Dominic was excited, looking around the fancy interior.

"Have some confidence in yourself, buddy. You are the first," Allen said.

Dominic was flattered, "Didn’t you invite your girlfriends?"

"They don’t even know I have a Lamborghini yet, but I don’t plan to make a big fuss about it. I’m going to drive it for a few days and then consign it for cash," Allen said.

"The car’s fast and attracts attention, but I don’t plan to use it to pick up girls at nightclubs; its chassis is too low, only suitable for city driving, not for the suburbs. Most of my business involves driving off-road vehicles and armored transport vehicles, so I rarely use it. It’s better to convert it into cash and upgrade the Jeep to an armored vehicle."

Buying a small armed helicopter might still be useful for cross-regional transport, but what’s the use of having a Lamborghini besides showing off in the city?

A fragile sports car can’t be used for missions; a collision would wreck it, it consumes a lot of fuel, and repair and insurance costs are too high. From the pragmatic point of view of someone like Allen, it’s totally not worth it!

With a two-star qualification in the Thunder Fire Armored Kingdom, you can own multiple armored transport vehicles locally, and private cars can be outfitted with bulletproof features. As long as you have money, even buying ten bulletproof transport vehicles is possible.

Although he had a bit of savings, the cost of a customized armored transport vehicle starts at at least two hundred thousand US dollars. Outfitting the Jeep with bulletproof features and firepower would also cost at least seventy to eighty thousand dollars.

After recruiting and expanding military assets, there wouldn’t be much left; finances would still be tight, so earning money was essential.

Allen started the Lamborghini, listened to the roar of the engine, and with a press of the accelerator, he left Eito Street. They cruised around Los Angeles city center for half an hour.

While waiting at a red light, seeing a woman in the passenger seat, the hot girls on the street couldn’t help but show a look of regret.

Dominic protested, "I’m a guy!!"

"You’re so pretty; you look like a girl," Allen teased humorously, making Dominic feel his dignity offended.

After a decent cruise, he dropped Dominic back at the bridge encampment.

Then he took the Lamborghini back to Old Pick’s auto repair shop, had the Beggar Gang Disciples give it a wash and maintenance, and listed it online for auction. He accepted bids for early reservations but wouldn’t sell it until a few days later.

After returning to the camp, Jennifer also returned from her shift at Armed Nation in a Jeep and learned from Dominic that the General Sect Leader had acquired a new Lamborghini, which surprised her quite a bit.

Not having ridden in it yet, she also came over to coquettishly plead, "Darling, you went for a joyride with Dominic, why didn’t you think of taking me for a ride in your luxury car?"

Allen said unfazed, "It was just on the way to pick up Dominic; there was some work to be done at the recycling station. How was your day at the gun store? Did you get any business?"

"Not bad. Someone bought a Victor submachine gun, as well as an AKM, and military backpacks. The addresses are all in Los Angeles city center, which made delivery quite convenient. I had Bailey drive the goods over and completed the transaction. We earned a total of 4600 US dollars."

Jennifer reported her work progress to the General Sect Leader, volunteering, "I also reached out to some friends in our circle and marketed some firearms to them, but some of them seem to lack the qualifications to purchase guns. What should we do about that?"
