America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 160 One day and one night at sea

  Ikana's father is a very flamboyant person.

   When Waleed was rich, luxury cars, yachts and mansions never stopped.

   This yacht, once named "Kingdom 5KR" by Waleed, was one of the most luxurious yachts in the world at that time.

   But in 1991, Ikana's father went bankrupt again.

   In order to repay the debt and turn around, the yacht had to be sold.

   When this yacht was in the hands of Ted Lena, it happened to be the special growth period of Ikana in the transition from naive romance to rational reality.

  In 1991, Ikana was less than ten years old.

   When she had the best memory and the happiest time.

  Father first went bankrupt and sold some of the most valuable things in the family.

   Then the birth mother divorced the father in the second year.

   The age just before puberty.

   These two things are in the process of Ikana forming her own three views and character.

   had a great impact.

  This may be the reason why her character is somewhat realistic and ambitious.

   Come to think of it, she was the happy daughter of a billionaire before that.

   Born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he has everything.

   After that, my father went bankrupt and my mother got divorced.

  No matter how normal a child is, after such a big change, it is impossible for his personality to change.

   What's more, she is around 9 years old. This is an age that can already be remembered, and will be understood but not yet understood.

   This made this yacht, in Ikana's memory, very different.

  At this moment, I confirm that this ship is the one in my memory.

  Ikana, who had already arrived on the deck of the ship, stared at the white hull and the beautiful and tidy buildings on the ship in a daze.

  Her eyes are a little hazy.

  She seemed to see her young self spending happy time with her parents on this yacht through time and space.

   With the yacht that carried a part of her joy was sold.

  After that, Ikana also matured rapidly.

  This is how Ikana made plans for her future at a young age.

  When I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I became a model and a host.

  Suddenly, a cold wind blew across the sea.

  Ikana couldn't help but be clever physically, she turned around and couldn't help falling into Abel's arms again.

   "Thank you dear, thank you. Really, really, really thank you!"

  Her voice was very excited, and Abel even heard a whimper in her tone.

   This made Abel stunned.

  He didn't know why Ikana had such a big reaction.

  He didn't even know that Ikana would have a different feeling for this yacht.

  The reason why I bought this "Kingdom5KR".

  The reason is that he later discovered that the former owner of the ship was Ted Lena.

   Thinking about the yacht that Ted Lener sold when he ran out of money.

   Bought it back for Ikana to use.

   Presumably, this should make Ikana more respectable with her father.

   This might make Ikana happy.

  Ikana is happy, so he has some demands that he can't ask for from her.

   may also be able to be satisfied.

   That way he can be happy too.

   What's more, he still has a hand.

  For this yacht, Ikana, like Anne, only has unlimited use rights.

  Ownership is still controlled by him in some way.

   Unexpectedly, Ikana saw this yacht.

  The reaction will be so big.

"what's wrong?"

  He gently hugged her fragrant and plump body with his backhand, gently stroked her well-shaped back with one hand, and said softly while comforting her:

   "Even if you don't like it, you don't have to react like this. I thought you would be very happy to see it."

  Ikana lifted her face from his shoulders.

   It can be seen that her eye sockets are indeed slightly red.

  But this young girl with strong self-control has controlled her emotions in such a short time.

  She smiled with reddish eyes:

   "I'm very happy, I'm like this just because I like it!"

   "Oh~"

   Abel laughed when he saw that she was not lying.

   "Let's go. Let's take a look at how it looks inside. It's too cold outside. Going to sea in New York in winter is really not a smart choice."

  Ikana nodded, was held by his hand obediently, and walked into the cabin.

   "Waleed said that he bought this Waleed for 20 million dollars from your father."

  Walk into the deck corridor and enter the front cabin.

  The warm yacht heating made the two of them feel a comfortable warmth in their bodies that were a little bit cold from the sea breeze.

  Abel walked inside curiously, and said:

   "After that, Waleed said he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on renovations."

   "As soon as I got it last night, I sent it to be painted and printed with your name on it."

   "I haven't even come in to see it myself."

  Ikana's beautiful eyes, like Abel's, looked at everything she saw.

  She nodded slightly and said:

   “From the outside it looks like this yacht. But inside, it’s not the same as it was in my father’s hands.”

  This yacht has five floors of buildings on the deck.

  The area gets smaller as you go up. The fifth floor on the top floor is just a viewing platform of about ten square meters and a large bathtub of several square meters.

  The entire fourth floor is the master bedroom on the yacht, which has the best view height on the yacht.

  The third and second floors are guest rooms, and part of the first floor is also guest rooms.

   Most of the remaining space on the first floor is entertainment and public places.

   For example, a public outdoor swimming pool with a helipad behind it.

  Under the buildings on this deck is the hull of the yacht.

  This part of the space, except for the crew and sailors' quarters.

   There are also some entertainment facilities, as well as on-board warehouses, yacht engine hosts and other facilities.

  Abel didn't know what it looked like in Ted Lener's hands.

  But after Prince Walid's renovation, he saw everything at this time, and he only felt that everything was resplendent.

  Typical aesthetic style of local tyrants in the desert area..

  All kinds of entertainment facilities such as theaters, swimming pools, discotheques, etc., which are necessary for top luxury yachts, are also available on yachts.

  Kingdom5KR, translated into Chinese, actually means the name of Kingdom.

  Its hull length is 288 feet, which is more than 87 meters if converted into meters.

   Such a yacht, in 2000, is already the largest group of privately owned luxury yachts.

   Otherwise, he is not worthy of Waleed, the Middle Eastern stock god.

   It’s just that now Prince Walid, after listening to Abel’s words, is ready to place an order for a bigger and more luxurious yacht.

  The king ship has become a less important toy.

  In order to make friends with Abel, he even wanted to send it directly to Abel.

   It was because Abel didn't want to take such a big favor for nothing, so he refused at that time.

   Later, he found out that it was Ted Lener's favorite yacht, so he wanted to buy it back to make Ikana happy.

  If this ship is the hull, the current market price is only about 15 million US dollars.

  But the most valuable part of the luxury yacht itself is the decoration, modification and decoration on it.

  Walid spent almost 130 million US dollars on the modification of the ship.

  Counting the purchase cost, Waleed spent almost 150 million US dollars on this ship.

   This is not counting the cost of daily maintenance, there are also miscellaneous expenses such as the salaries of the crew and captains.

  From 1991 to the present, Abel conservatively estimated that Prince Walid spent at least 160 million US dollars on it.

  Abel originally planned to buy it at the original price, but Waleed was unwilling.

  The final compromise was at the strong request of Prince Walid.

  Abel took a little advantage and sold this one of the most luxurious yachts in the world to Abel for 80 million US dollars.

  It is said that the scene of the two calling and bargaining at that time, if others saw it.

  It must be very speechless.

   During the bargaining process between these two people.

  One wants to buy more expensive, the other wants to sell cheaper.

   Such a bargain.

  It will only appear in people like the desert chieftain and Abel who are not short of money.

  The king's number is very large, and Abel and Ikana just glanced at it roughly.

   It took almost forty minutes for the two of them to reach the viewing platform on the fifth floor of the deck building.

   "How is it, Ikana, how is this different from the ship you remember from the past?"

  On the viewing platform, Abel smiled while blowing the cold sea breeze.

   "Except for the hull." Ikana said:

   "Nothing else is the same. Even this viewing platform didn't exist before. It seems that it was added later."

   “I noticed the ornaments, they seemed to be all gold”

   This made Ikana a little dumbfounded.

  There are so many gold ornaments and statues, regardless of artistic value and processing fees.

  If it’s just priced in gold, she thinks it’s worth at least seven or eight million U.S. dollars.

   Not to mention the gold-plated and gold wires everywhere on the ship, revealing a luxurious atmosphere everywhere.

   Ikana thinks.

  If my father comes up.

   Gotta love the decor of this boat!

   "Yes. But it's really cold here. Let's go downstairs." Abel nodded.

"it is good."

  The height of this viewing platform is at least about 30 meters above the water.

  At a height of more than ten floors, there is wind on the sea.

  The temperature at this time is estimated to be around zero degrees.

   It's naturally cold up here.

  The two came to the master bedroom on the fourth floor, which is also the most luxurious and spacious bedroom on the yacht.

   This bedroom.

  The indoor area alone should be about 200 square meters.

   You must know that this is on a yacht, and the bedroom of 200 square meters is already ridiculously large.

   "Because time is urgent." Abel said:

   "I only asked my housekeeper, David Jones, to replace the personal daily items, quilts and other things on this floor. The other things are still the same as before."

   "Ikana, wait until you are free. You can design it yourself, or modify the layout on the ship."

  Abel said with a smile.

  Ikana smiled and nodded in agreement.

  Prince Walid's renovation costs are exaggerated, and the house is also decorated magnificently.

   But honestly.

  Ikana doesn't appreciate this style very much.

  She felt that her father might like it very much, and even fell in love at first glance.

   In her own words, she felt that this did not conform to her own style and aesthetics.

  Although it is also very beautiful.

   "Okay~" Abel smiled and walked to Ikana, hugging her gently.

   "Now, can you go out to sea with me? Look, the weather outside seems to be snowing later."

   “Going out on a yacht while it’s snowing. Pretty cool to think about, isn’t it?”

   Ikana, who was being held by him, smelled the masculinity on his body.

   It was a special smell, not the smell of sweat but not the strange smell of perfume.

   makes her attractive.

  She didn't know that this was actually a manifestation of mutual attraction between the hormones of both parties.

  She glanced at someone's tent, amused and charmingly said:

   "Is it really just going out to sea? Do you not do other things?"

   Her expression made Abel unable to control himself anymore.

  Abel let go of Ikana, walked to the bedside in the bedroom, and pressed a button.

   Then the microphone next to the button will sound.

   "BOSS?"

   It was Edward's voice. At this time, the captain of the bodyguard was in the captain's room, which is where the yacht was controlled.

  In the captain's room, there are also the captain and first mate of the yacht, as well as two other bodyguards.

   "It's me. Edward, let the captain go. We won't go anywhere, we'll just take a walk around the coast of New York."

"clear."

  In the captain's room.

  Edward turned to the captain and said, "Please, Mr. Gerald, let's sail."

  The old captain, who has been driving yachts for the rich for more than ten years, nodded with a smile and gave the order to set off.

   Regarding the fact that Edward and another bodyguard did not leave the captain's cabin after the ship started.

  Factory Manager Jaled is also used to it.

  The rich have always had extremely high requirements for safety.

   Even on their own private yachts, they worry that the captain will take them to an unsafe place.

  Leave bodyguards in the captain's cabin to monitor, which is also the intended meaning.

  The former King, and now the master bedroom of the Ikana.

   Abel, who had finished his explanation, had turned around and looked at Ikana who was looking at him with a smile.

  In the short time since he contacted Edward, Ikana had already taken off her slim and beautiful coat.

  Light purple body-fitting trimmed wool turtleneck sweater inside, white stockings underneath.

  No pants, a pair of thermal underwear on top of the leg socks.

  Ikana looks homely and **** with this look.

   To match her already relatively dignified and elegant appearance.

   There is a different feeling of an intellectual family and wife.

  But under her elegant and slender neck, there is a big pear that doesn't look so good.

  The figure and temperament form an extra sense of conflict.

  Let her at this time have a fatal attraction to Abel.

  He walked over with a smile and took her into his arms.

   Exactly at this moment, when Abel closes the bedroom curtains.

  Through the glass of the curtain, on the waters of New York, a fine drizzle of snow began to fall.

  Outside the house is cold wind, cold snow and cold sea.

  The house is as warm as spring and warm as fire.

   This is bound to be a fiery winter sea trip.

  For Ikana, this will also be a torment of happiness, a long and short day and night.

  The next day is November 15th.

  The weather is overcast.

  Pier 15, South Street Seaport, Manhattan, New York.

  The Ikana yacht, which had been out at sea for a day and a night, slowly docked at noon.

   On the yacht, the master bedroom is in the bathroom of more than 30 square meters.

  Abel looked in the mirror helplessly, seeing the dense hickeys on his neck.

   This Ikana is definitely on purpose.

  Knowing that I will have an important reception today.

  Last night, while I was getting high.

   Actually planted so many strawberries on his own neck.

  He knew that this was Ikana's little thought again.

   But what can he do?

  Of course I can only choose to forgive her.

   It is useless to seek revenge without forgiveness.

   Ikana, who went to sea with him for a day and a night, probably has difficulty even moving a finger at the moment.

   Still sleeping outside.

  Abel didn't even know if she could make it to Smith Capital's year-end reception tonight.

   Originally, Abel invited her to go with her father.

  He had to send a high-necked shirt to try to hide the strawberry print below the neck.

   There is no way to solve the above point.

   Fortunately, he has a thick skin, so it doesn't matter if he is seen.

   After changing his clothes, he walked out of the bathroom.

   Coming to the huge and soft Simmons, Abel glanced at the sleeping Ikana.

   "Ikana, Ikana, Ikana?" He whispered a few times.

   "I'm going ashore. I have to go to the Smith Building first and make some preparations. With your appearance, can you still go to the evening reception?"

  Ikana didn't respond at first, but after he called several times.

  She finally opened her eyes with a murmur, "Wooooooh. So tired, you bastard. I'm going tonight."

   "But you look like this"

"I can!"

   "Okay. Shall we go ashore now?"

   "No, I still have to take a break. Let me sleep until the afternoon."

   "Don't force yourself, Ikana. Take a good rest when you're tired."

   "I didn't force it." She whispered stubbornly:

   "I'll make a call later and ask my assistant to bring me clothes, cosmetics, and jewelry. Just leave me alone. If it really doesn't work at night, there's nothing you can do if you can't go there."

   "Okay." Abel smiled and lowered his head to kiss her.

  Ikana avoided it subconsciously.

   "I haven't rinsed my mouth and brushed my teeth yet. And you still...smell in the morning!"

  Yes!

  Abel almost forgot about this, he immediately avoided Ikana's lips decisively, and only kissed her forehead.

asshole! Shouldn't it be that even if there is taste, in order to prove that you like me, you still kiss me anyway? It really is a bastard. Ikana was a little depressed and a little angry thinking.

   "Okay. Then you have a rest. I'll go first."

  Ikana nodded helplessly.

  Abel just left the bedroom.

  Ikana who stayed behind was tired and sleepy, her body was exhausted, and her throat was a little hoarse.

   It belongs to the sequelae of excessive exercise and excessive shouting.

   But at this moment, her mood and spirit are extremely good.

  Thinking that such a ship is 288 feet long and worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

  Look at the whole of New York.

   No, it is an ultra-luxury yacht that few people can own in the whole world.

   From now on, it will be your own.

  If it wasn't for being so tired that she couldn't move, she would want to get up now, take a good look at the Ikana, and study carefully where it needs to be modified to her favorite style.

  She didn't know.

   This ship does not belong to her, she is just the user

  Abel's side, he went ashore refreshed.

   But instead of walking up, they left directly by plane on the helicopter pad equipped with Ikana.

   Not counting the time for take-off and landing, it arrived at the Smith Building in less than ten minutes.

  In his office, he invited David Mellon and Merio who had a half-day vacation yesterday.

   "How is it? Is there any problem with the evening?"

  Abel still attaches great importance to Smith Capital's first year-end reception.

   This is a stage for him to show off his muscles to Wall Street, and at the same time make them value himself more.

  David Mellon said:

  "Invitation letters have been sent out for all the guests to be invited. And they have all received good feedback. Most of the guests have expressed that they will be present in person."

   After David finished speaking, the boss turned his attention to himself.

  He also quickly said:

   "In terms of hardware facilities, the preparations have also been completed. Hilton Hotel has shown the greatest sincerity. Some of our own staff have already settled in the venue."

   Facing these two, he answered like this, his right arm and right arm in Smith Capital.

  Abel nodded in satisfaction:

   "Then, watch our performance tonight. This will be a stage performance for us to go to the entire Wall Street!"

  Abel was already looking forward to it, when the reception started or was in the middle of the night.

  Those guests, what kind of reaction will they have?

   You must be shocked, right?

   Abel thought happily.
