resistance group(2/2)
Elliot had been waiting for the Baron's arrival in New York. His mood was as urgent as the Baron, and he couldn't wait to see the arrival of great destruction.
A good show directed by Mr. Baron and starring "The New York League".
The "New York League" has made final preparations and will watch with joy at everything that happened before them.

They will eventually celebrate their victory with champagne.

Some people will go bankrupt and commit suicide because of this, but some people will make a fortune in it.
"This is Mr. Ilia." At the dinner that Elliot himself, he "sovereignly" recommended the son of the Grand Duke of Bellstoka to the guests, who had just returned to Ilia, New York.
Wang Weiyi was still very satisfied with Xiaoling's makeup skills. The last time he met with Ilia was twenty years ago for Ilia. He was sure that relying on Xiaoling's makeup and the passage of time, Ilia could not recognize him.
"This is Mr. Petergov, our plenipotentiary representative in Russia."
After Elliot solemnly introduced "Mr. Petergoff", Yiliya warmly shook hands with Wang Weiyi: "Ah, Mr. Petergoff, you are very famous in Moscow, but it makes people feel a bit ironic that we have to meet in the United States. It's very rude. I have never been able to entertain you in Moscow."
"Look at what you said, I think meeting in New York is also a good choice." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.
"Ah, yes, this is indeed a city that is more fascinating than Moscow..." Ilya said with infinite emotion: "Mr. Petergov, I always feel that we have seen it somewhere."
"Ah, I have never had a chance to see the son of a great duke..." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "I think you must have remembered it wrong."
"Yes, I have to meet many people every day and always remember something wrong." Ilya quickly put down his thoughts that Mr. Petergov looked familiar to me: "For the oil field we jointly developed in Russia, the Grand Duke, that is, my father and the Russian government are very concerned about. We have a good start and I believe we will cooperate more closely in the future. Mr. Petergov, are you back to the United States to report on the progress of the oil field?"
Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "This is one reason, and another reason is that we are preparing to increase investment in the US securities market and housing contract market."
This aroused Ilya's great enthusiasm.

Gregory gave all his funds in the United States to Ilia to take charge. The booming New York securities market and the increasing wealth have completely caused Ilia to fall into a fanaticism like most Americans.
He believed that he would soon become a wealthy man who was not inferior to the Wittgenstein family.

"What, are you going to increase your investment?" Ilya asked with great interest.
"Yes, not only Mr. Petergoff, but I am also preparing to put a huge sum of money in it." Elliot said on the side: "What a wonderful market, I seem to see countless dollars flying in front of my eyes. In addition to a large amount of funds from Europe, I am trying to double these assets a few more. What about you, Mr. Ilia, I heard that you have a lot of investments, are you still going to continue to increase?"
"Ah, I'm not like you who can't get enough and useless wealth." Ilia decided to hide it: "It's a pity that I can only invest in a small amount."
On the one hand, he doesn't want to tell others about the capital trends he has, but on the other hand, he does not have much money to be able to take out.
Most of the wealth given to him by the Grand Duke has been put into the New York securities market and the housing contract market.
"It's so regrettable." Elliot shrugged: "It's such a wonderful market, not following up is simply the biggest regret in a life. Oh, it would be great if you have some mortgaged items, so I might be able to help you."
Ilia's heart beats a little.

In Russia, in addition to embezzling a large amount of state-owned funds, Gregory also secretly stole a large number of precious cultural relics and artworks from Russia. All of these were transferred to the United States by Ilia and stored in a safe bank.
Some of these items are unparalleled precious cultural relics and artworks, and their value cannot be measured by money.
However, in Ilia's view, things are dead. No matter how much things are stored in the bank, if they cannot be turned into cash, it actually does not make much sense. However, these thoughts of him just flashed through him.
If Mr. Elliott proposed it at this time, the meaning will be different.

Ilia thought about it carefully: "Mr. Elliott, based on your opinion on art, how much do you think the painting of the 'Savior' can be worth?"
"Are you talking about Da Vinci's 'savior'?" Elliot was really surprised this time.
After seeing Ilia nodding with certainty, Eliot said in admiration: "This is one of the classic oil paintings of Leonardo da Vinci. It is said that it originally belonged to Charles I, but it disappeared mysteriously. If it was an original painting, I would like to auction it and even auction it for more than 10 million. However, I think no one knows where this oil painting has gone now."
"I think I know." Elia said in a show-off tone: "And I own this oil painting."
Elliot glanced at the Baron, then asked slowly, "Do you really own this oil painting, not kidding me?"
"Do you know Ekaterina II?" Iliad smiled: "The female Tsar, Caterina II, was addicted to gem collection throughout her life, was keen on collecting gemstones from various periods, and set up a gem hall in the Hermitage Palace to store her snuff boxes and gems. Caterina was also one of the biggest buyers of European painting masterpieces in the second half of the 18th century. She often went to Europe to buy paintings. Because Russia was strong at that time, Caterina II took advantage of all the money she liked. Therefore, the master paintings she owned were not one or two, but often one painter's paintings were collected in one room. For example, Rubens, she also owned the rare original oil paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, and the 'Savior' was one of her most proud collections..."
Speaking of this, Ilia felt that she might have said too much: "You don't need to ask me how I got this oil painting, but I can tell you for sure that the collection I own does not have to be a young man from Ekaterina II, and this oil painting was also inherited from Ekaterina's Tsar."
Elliot breathed lightly.
I had known for a long time that Gregory and his son had embezzled a large number of precious cultural relics and artworks from Russia, and stored them in the United States. This was also Gregory's last retreat.
Now, his son told them this without any scruples.
"If you really have these, it's so enviable." Elliot quickly returned to his calmness: "But unfortunately, art is always just works of art. If it can't be converted into money, lying in the bank's preservation warehouse will not be able to do anything."
This sentence immediately hits Ilia's heart.
He was not interested in any artwork or cultural relics. The only thing he cared about was money.
"If I use these things as collateral, do you think you can accept it?" Ilia finally asked this question.
Elliot frowned: "If they are all genuine, I think you can mortgage a lot of money, but to acquire these, I think the acquirer will take a lot of risks. Mr. Ilia, I might as well tell you frankly that I will only pay you a loan with 30% of the original price, and I am very sure that I am the only one in the United States who dares to do this."
This is a complete profiteer, Ilia cursed in her heart.
However, his greed for money has completely deceived him. Even if it is only 30% of the original price, it is good in his opinion. Moreover, when he makes a lot of money, he can still redeem it from the other party.
"If you have time tomorrow, I'm happy to take you to see my collection." Ilia said all his attempts: "If you really dare to be interested, we can discuss the mortgage price."
"Ah, it's my greatest honor to be able to see those precious things." Elliot raised the cup in his hand: "Let us toast for the collection, I can't wait to wait until tomorrow."
Like his father, Ilia fell completely into a trap, but for him he still thought he had found the right path.
"Greed always makes people lose..." When Ilia left here, Wang Weiyi said lightly: "This is the last possession of Gregory. When he lost everything, what kind of mood would you think he would be?"
"He will be as poor as twenty years ago, worthless as he was. He died on the road and wouldn't even look at him." Elliot did not hide his disgust for Gregory: "He betrayed you and failed your trust in him. All this is his deserved!"
"Yes, everything is worthy of his sins." Wang Weiyi sighed softly: "But I won't let him die so easily. I want him to witness what kind of terrible things he is experiencing. Elliot, are you ready?"
"Yes, I'm ready." Elliot's voice revealed his incomparable confidence: "Everything will fall, the madman will pay the price for their madness, and the greedy will also die under their greed. Baron, we have been waiting for the arrival of this day for too long."
Wang Weiyi seemed to be in deep thought: "Russia's problem will be resolved soon, and the United States will enter a period of chaos. This is the best opportunity for Germany. We will be reversed on the battlefield and reversed the entire strategy. The only thing I think about is, how will all this end?"
"Are you thinking about your son?" Elliot asked tentatively: "I think I can make some arrangements in advance."
