"Right now, to buy a farm with over fifty acres, an irrigation system, a generator, and a well only costs a little over a hundred thousand dollars. It used to take four hundred thousand!" Cade Eagle said, gesturing wildly.
His daughter, Tessa Eagle, sat on the other side of the sofa, clearly explaining the downsides of investing in farms around Lachitas Town to Broly.
The price of farms around Lachitas Town had fallen to rock bottom, but even so, there wasn't much investment value. First, the U.S.-Mexico border was only about twenty kilometers away, and there were often illegal immigrants and drug traffickers active in the area, making security a serious problem.
Because of limited tax revenue, Lachitas Town's police force was severely understaffed. After the giant ape attack, three more officers had resigned, which was adding insult to injury. They were simply unable to maintain order.
Secondly, the farms around Lachitas Town weren't big, mostly small or micro-farms under 49 to 179 acres, almost all of which were family or individual farms, scattered around.
Unlike the leisure-type farms with mountains and lakes, the farms here had no tourism or recreational value. They were all cultivated as farmland and orchards, and it was difficult to get a good price for them.
Even if the impact of the giant ape attacks passed and the prices of these farms returned to their original levels, it would be hard to sell them, and they would easily end up unsold.
This kind of unsellable farm could easily drag people into bankruptcy. Running a farm wasn't simple. International agricultural prices fluctuated, often plummeting or soaring due to climate, policies, and international relations. A dramatic fluctuation in the price of one agricultural product could cause a group of farmers to go bankrupt.
"Tessa! What are you doing!" Cade Eagle was about to explode, frantically signaling his daughter. What was Tessa doing? He was risking his life to coax Broly, all for her tuition. Besides, the farms in Lachitas Town weren't unsellable, just a little harder to sell.
Tessa swallowed her tears, unable to speak.
Dad, I'm saving you! You don't know, these two are monsters who turned into giant apes; you'll be eaten if you get too close to them!
"Alright, I've made up my mind." Broly stopped the strange exchange of glances between father and daughter. He opened his backpack, took out a check, and handed it to Cade Eagle: "This is a Fuguo Bank check, with a total of two million three hundred and twenty thousand US dollars. See how many farms you can buy. It doesn't matter to me if they're hard to sell, I'm not planning to sell them. I'll manage these farms myself."
Cade Eagle carefully took the check, holding it with both hands. It was the first time he had held so much money, and he was afraid of tearing the check by accident.
Saiyans were good at farming. After Son Goku's prize money from the World Martial Arts Tournament ran out, he supported his family by farming on Paozi Mountain. Moreover, Turtle School martial arts could be used for cultivating while farming.
Broly was already prepared to use Kakarot as livestock. It didn't matter if the land was left barren; as long as he could complete the main quest, he would make a profit.
Tessa felt dizzy, a wave of dizziness washing over her. She barely managed to avoid showing any unusual reaction. If Broly bought a farm and planned to live in Lachitas Town long-term, then they would be neighbors.
"Right."
Broly suddenly thought of something.
"Poof!"
A puff of white smoke, and Broly used Oolong's Transformation Technique to transform into a young man with a fit physique. He had slightly curly black hair, a chiseled face, and a rugged appearance, with only a pair of black pupils that revealed a hint of melancholy.
"Clark Kent. Let's call this identity Clark Kent. And the nationality will be Bolivian. I'll use this identity to hold the farms," Broly said.
Because Clark Kent would hold fixed assets, Broly planned to make this identity more complete, at least to withstand scrutiny. Otherwise, the farm would be confiscated before it had even warmed up in his hands.
Bolivia was a good choice. Since Alejandro had chosen to settle there, he must have considerable connections. It wouldn't be difficult to fabricate an identity in the country's chaotic household registration files.
Texas law didn't prohibit foreigners from buying property in the state.
The reason he didn't choose to seek help from Matt, which would have been easier to operate, was because he was always wary of the CIA. In an organization as massive and with nearly unlimited power as this Leviathan, individual will was insignificant.
If Matt knew too much about his secrets, it would be a considerable hidden danger.
"What's wrong?"
He found Tessa's gaze on him to be a little strange.
"No...nothing..."
Tessa felt her heart pounding wildly, about to jump out of her chest, and her hands and feet were ice cold with fear.
Sure enough, they're monsters! As a person with a reading habit, Tessa's reading volume was impressive. She had not only read Journey to the West but also found and read many obscure ghost stories and legends.
Broly and Kakarot must be the Shanxiao of legend, with tails, skilled in transformations, able to transform into giant apes like mountains, and also able to transform into such handsome young men to bewitch young girls.
The reason he bought the farms in Lachitas Town was definitely to lure the girls in town and eat them!
Tessa had already imagined the complete horror movie plot in her head. With Broly's current appearance, the girls from Lachitas Town Middle School would come to seek their deaths like lemmings.
She believed that by then, the ground beneath the farms that were bought would be filled with the skeletons of the victims. The disappearances would not be able to hide from the FBI. They wouldn't be able to catch Broly, who could transform, and her father, Cade, was the one who bought the farms for him and was living next door. He definitely wouldn't be able to escape, and the best outcome would be a long prison sentence.
Thinking of that tragic scene, Tessa shivered.
"Do you have a family history of Parkinson's? You're always trembling," Broly looked at the strange father and daughter with some doubt. He patted his clothes and stood up from the sofa: "Cade, contact the local land brokers and try to lower the price as much as possible. For every ten thousand dollars you lower the price, I'll give you a two thousand dollar commission. Don't cheat, or you'll regret it."
Cade Eagle had lived here for half his life and was familiar with the local situation, so it was most appropriate for him to oversee the purchase. Broly figured he wouldn't dare to take advantage of him.
Broly said this, picked up Kakarot, and walked toward the farmland. Taking advantage of the free time, he planned to teach Kakarot the Turtle School techniques to lay a foundation for her.
If there was anyone he trusted most on Earth, it was Kakarot. As a fellow Saiyan, Kakarot had extraordinary potential. With diligent training, when Frieza arrived, he might be able to defeat Frieza through the Metamoran Fusion Technique.
