54: Dark web?

A moment later, the black ford remained in place, while the other two vehicles continued towards the manor.

However, this time Butler Wei was in the driver's seat of the rolls-royce.

Jack, still securely bound, was in the back seat of the land rover range rover, his heart filled with unease.

More than ten minutes later, the two cars passed through the manor gates one after another, entering the 250,000-square-meter estate.

In front of a five-story main building, over a hundred men and women in work uniforms seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Standing at the front of the crowd was a white man in his thirties, dressed in a butler's uniform.

Seeing the rolls-royce phantom stop in front of him, a respectful expression appeared on his face, even though he had heard that the owner here was an Easterner.

But he didn't show the slightest disrespect; after all, in this country, money meant power.

Whoever paid them was their boss, regardless of where that person was from.

After Butler Wei parked the car steadily, he quickly got out of the driver's seat and then opened the car door for Wang Shaojun.

Wang Shaojun looked up at the scene before him: over a hundred foreigners in work uniforms, standing neatly in front of him.

As his feet touched the ground, they bowed their heads and said, "Welcome home, Master."

This form of address, to be honest, shocked him.

In fact, he didn't know that these people were now very afraid that Wang Shaojun would dismiss them; working here was infinitely more comfortable than working outside.

Most importantly, the salary was high; tidying up the manor and tending to the flowers and plants every day earned several times more than outside.

They certainly didn't want to lose such a job.

But unfortunately, they were destined not to be able to stay here any longer.

Wang Shaojun stood still, thought for a few seconds, then whispered to Butler Wei, "Give each of them some severance pay, and then have them leave the manor within an hour."

After speaking, he walked past everyone and entered the main building behind them.

Meanwhile, the Bodyguard from the land rover range rover drove to a distant annex building; what he needed to do now was to pry open Jack's mouth and wring out his value.

At the same time, Wang Shaojun, in the main building's living room, looked at the vast and luxurious space, sighing with emotion that it was indeed a manor worth over two billion.

Even the decorations on the walls were worth a lot of money.

Arriving on the third-floor outdoor area, a swimming pool appeared before him, with a bar counter nearby, and the liquor cabinet filled with various drinks.

From here, most of the manor was visible, and the entire estate was brightly lit at this moment.

At a glance, even at night, one could see the waves crashing on the beach.

It was hard to describe his feelings at the moment: peaceful and at ease, with the sea breeze blowing, as if all worries were swept away with it.

Only now did he truly understand what it meant to live.

And not just to be born and survive!

He sat on a nearby sofa, gazing at the distant beach, enjoying this beautiful moment.

An hour later, Butler Wei finally approached him with light steps and softly said, "Young Master, everyone has been dismissed."

Wang Shaojun, who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, slowly opened them upon hearing this. "Has everyone left the manor?"

"Yes, Young Master! I personally oversaw their departure before coming to report to you."

"Alright, let's go down. We need to arrange the personnel as soon as possible. Yang Zhongzhou is probably waiting for my people and funds."

With that, he got up and went downstairs.

He waved his hand and released the characters rewarded by the system, except for the male and female servants, a few butlers, and one super financial manager; all other characters were released.

There were well over a thousand people, followed by twenty-five modified land rover range rovers, and one rolls-royce phantom.

He planned to hand over all the people and cars to Yang Zhongzhou.

As for how the latter planned to deploy them, that was not his problem to worry about.

Bodyguards, spies, assassins, Hackers, and other talents—all of them were handed over to him.

Of course, these thousand-plus people were just the beginning; if the system rewarded more characters in the future, he would keep a few for personal use and hand the rest over to Yang Zhongzhou.

After all, keeping them by his side would only serve to protect his safety.

But in Yang Zhongzhou's hands, these people would be sharp tools, capable of rapidly developing and expanding Colossus Group.

Only then could their true potential be realized.

Looking at the scene before him, what surprised him was that among these people, there were not only Eastern faces but also Western faces.

He didn't dwell on it too much; having Westerners was good, otherwise, it wouldn't be ideal if everyone had Eastern faces.

And these were all his initial forces.

He turned to Butler Wei and said, "Leave forty top Bodyguards; give the rest of them some funds and have them report to Yang Zhongzhou on their own."

"Oh, and this too; have them take it and give it to Yang Zhongzhou then."

Saying this, he took out the Centurion Black Card, a system reward after the cashback, containing three hundred billion in funds.

Butler Wei took the black card and immediately began to explain things to everyone.

Wang Shaojun, meanwhile, walked to the side and waved, releasing a super butler and 150 attendants, half male and half female.

Looking at the white super butler before him, he asked curiously, "What's your name?"

"Reporting, Young Master, my name is Bruce!"

"Well done, Bruce. You are now the butler of this manor. These one hundred and fifty attendants and forty Bodyguards are entrusted to your arrangement. If anything needs to be replenished in the manor, you can report to Butler Wei."

Bruce respectfully replied, "Yes, Young Master."

After Bruce left with his people, Butler Wei's arrangements were also complete.

The thousand-plus people would gradually leave the manor, but this was no longer something Wang Shaojun needed to worry about.

After all the personnel arrangements were finished, he returned to the living room and checked the time.

It was already almost ten o'clock at night. Just as he sat down, the Bodyguard who had interrogated Jack quickly walked in from outside.

"How was it? Did you find anything out?"

The other party shouldn't have targeted him for no reason. It couldn't really be that they had been staking out the auction house since early morning, could it?

If that were truly the case, there were so many people attending the auction, and most of them didn't even have Bodyguards, so why did the other party specifically choose him?

It was a bit too far-fetched; he didn't quite believe it.

"Young Master, I found out. He was a waiter at the restaurant earlier, but only part-time. He happened to run into you, Young Master, and he just so happened to know that someone had posted a bounty mission on the Dark Web, and the target of the mission was you, Young Master."

Wang Shaojun became even more confused upon hearing this.

Dark Web?

Bounty mission? And the target of the mission was himself.

He didn't seem to have offended anyone, did he? If he had to say, at most, Chen Gongdan barely counted as one.

And his interaction with the other party could only be considered a minor friction, or perhaps not even friction.

After all, he and the other party had not exchanged a single word from beginning to end.
