Love Unspoken

Chapter 1487

Calvin still wasn't totally sold on Alexander's idea. Starting fresh with a new identity meant ditching everything he had now.

'I've got so many people counting on me. How can you expect me to just leave them behind? If I lose everything, I'll still be at the mercy of others,' Calvin thought. Alexander chimed in, "I found this deserted island once."

"And?" Calvin asked, raising an eyebrow.

Alexander went on, "I think it's perfect. It's outside any country's control and completely empty. You could move your people there."

Calvin eyed him skeptically. "You mean, just leave them to survive on their own?"

"Of course not. Wouldn't you develop it?" Alexander countered. "Your people are all outlaws. No country will take them in. The best way is to find a place to settle them. Once you develop that island, it becomes a small country. Their families can live there too, and it will be easier to control them."

Calvin squinted, rubbing his chin. Suddenly, the idea didn't seem so bad.

He thought, 'Settling them there, along with their families, would make it easier for me to control them. This bond would be stronger than any monetary interests. A deserted island is called deserted because no one lives there. But once it becomes populated and forms a society, it's no longer deserted; it's my empire! I could change my identity outside and do whatever I wanted, with a group of people under me as my weapon. This way, I wouldn't need to rely on anyone!' So, he nodded appreciatively. "Your method is feasible. When do we start?"

Alexander said, "This is a big project. While developing the island, we should also have a backup plan. Develop several islands and spread the people out. If anything unexpected happens, we can ensure we won't lose everything." "That makes sense. How much do you estimate it will cost?" Calvin asked.

Alexander replied, "One or two hundred billion dollars."

Calvin's eyelid twitched. He suspected Alexander was after his money. If his accounts weren't so secretive, he would have suspected Alexander had checked his assets.

"Isn't that a bit much?" Calvin asked.

If he invested all his money into those islands, what if anything happened? By then, what should he do?

Alexander chuckled. "Are you not planning to make money in the future? This is called future investment, also a backup plan for you. Think it over. If you find it unfeasible, you can collaborate with Walter." Calvin definitely wouldn't collaborate with Walter. If he did, he feared he'd lost everything.

In comparison, Alexander's proposal seemed more reliable.
