America's No. 1 financial conglomerate

Chapter 143 Capital Fraud

As dawn broke, the pale golden sunlight flowed like melting honey across the fence of Paul's farm. Ernst stood on the porch of the wooden house and took a deep breath of the air, which was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees.

Living on the farm, it was a rare occasion for him to get up early.

The wooden planks of the cabin creaked softly underfoot, while the distant hum of machinery provided a constant background noise as a harvester slowly moved along the edge of the vegetable field.

Paul's log cabin is a typical American country house, with ivy climbing all over the log walls, and the wooden table in the living room still bears the marks of last night's lively atmosphere.

Despite the house covering an area of ​​over 200 square meters, it still couldn't accommodate all the Arlington members who came to attend the family gathering.

Apart from Ernst's family, only Nathan and Kyle stayed here; everyone else went to the town's inns, or even to the city.

It's perfectly reasonable for the Ernst family to live here; everyone knows who the main character of this family gathering is.

The Nathan family, on the other hand, completely benefited from Lilisa's situation; the little one fell asleep very early last night.

As for Kyle, the worst drinker in the Arlington family, no one wanted to mess with him, so he spent his time in the living room with Ernst's bodyguard.

He washed up and went out, thinking he was early enough, but little Lilysa had gotten up even earlier than him.

The hem of the pink nightgown swept across the dew-covered clover, startling a string of glistening water droplets that had already circled the house once.

"Ernst!" The little girl's voice was as clear as a wind chime. Her head, tied in pigtails, swayed from the momentum of running, and then she opened her arms and ran towards him.

The dew on the grass dampened her bare feet, but it did not slow her down at all. When she rushed into Ernst's arms, she carried with her the scent of grass and sunshine.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall." Ernst picked her up.

Lilisa immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, her blue-gray eyes sparkling with undisguised anticipation, like glass beads submerged in water. "Where's my present? You said last night it would be here today."

Ernst glanced at his watch; it was only a little past seven. He gently stroked Lilysa's nose, feeling the delicate touch on his fingertips.

"They should be on their way. They should arrive after Lilysa finishes breakfast."

The little guy broke free and got off the ground, ran to Sherry, and said in a childish voice, "Mommy, I want to eat breakfast now, and I'll get a present after I finish eating."

Wakka's soft voice brought smiles to everyone's faces.

"Ernst".

At that moment, Kyle's voice came over. The other person was now fully equipped with protective gear.

The olive-green protective suit was printed with camouflage patterns, a hunting knife was tucked into his waistband, and a pair of binoculars was clipped to the top of his tall boots.

Many members of the Arlington family will be leaving today, as they received a satisfactory answer last night.

As the dinner was drawing to a close, John, on behalf of Ernst, announced that he would be setting up a family trust to benefit members of both the Arlington and Garfield families, which was met with cheers and applause from the entire room.

This fund may not bring them wealth, but it can make their lives more affluent.

Because as long as they are children of both families, they can receive a monthly living allowance of $5000 after they reach adulthood.

According to American law, this money is not subject to much taxation, and the actual amount received is almost three times the average monthly salary in the United States.

In addition to living allowances, there are also medical expenses, start-up funds, etc. Ernst will find a professional team to manage this fund.

For him, it was just an expense of a few hundred thousand or a million dollars a year, but it brought satisfactory results to everyone.

Those who remained were mostly young people and elderly people.

The young people naturally wanted to get closer to their cousin who had become a super tycoon, while the older people cherished every opportunity to meet, knowing that each meeting was one less chance they could have.

Today, Ernst and his fellow young men have made plans to hunt hares.

There are no mountains near Paul's farm, so he can only hunt wild rabbits for fun.

"Make me a recipe plan when you have time."

Kyle is the health consultant for the Arlington family; he works as a health management professional, the real deal.

When it comes to health management professionals, many people's first reaction is that they are just ripping people off. That's because 99% of the health management professionals on the market are just charlatans, and even the courses you take are fake; they're just something that capital makes you learn.

The Chinese believe that eating more vegetables is healthy, but Ernst learned from Kyle that eating too much vegetarian food is equivalent to eating poison.

The idea of ​​vegetarianism is itself a scam by American capitalism.

Many people may not know that vegetable salads are one of the most important sources of food poisoning in the United States.

Unlike meat, the key to the healthy growth of vegetables is fertility, which is why vegetables are more susceptible to pests and bacteria than meat.

Think about it, even large amounts of pesticides can't kill it, how tenacious is its vitality? Do you think your stomach acid can kill it?

Every year in the United States, hundreds of people are diagnosed with an intestinal disease called cyclosporidiosis due to eating vegetable salads. Vegetables can be eaten, but in moderation, and it is best not to eat them raw.

Also, never chase after novelty, such as broccoli or kale.

Broccoli is a vegetable that was marketed by capital in the United States in the 1980s. In the first ten years, no one told you that broccoli contains a large number of parasites, which caused considerable harm to people who ate it raw.

The same thing happened with kale later on. It seems like overnight, kale became popular all over the world. Is it possible that there was no capital behind it?

But who would have thought that before 2015, this thing was part of the park's landscaping, a decorative element in the greenbelt.

And nobody tells you that any endorsements or certifications for kale are fake and not officially recognized.

There have even been real cases where kale has been harmful; some farmers have fed kale to sheep, and the sheep developed severe thyroid hypertrophy.

However, no one has studied this issue in depth. In the United States, a country that studies everything, it would be abnormal if no one did.

"I've recently been giving up fruit, following your advice."

It's not just vegetables; the problem is even bigger with fruits—it's a classic health scam manipulated by capital.

The wealthier a person is, the more expensive the fruit they eat and the more they buy.

These fruits all share one characteristic: they are large, plump, and very sweet.

Take an orange for example. The sweetness of a natural orange cannot exceed 8 degrees Brix, but imported high-end oranges can reach an exaggerated level of 18 degrees Brix.

This is because two types of deacidifying agents are sprayed in large quantities before harvesting, and the fruit is soaked in at least two types of sweeteners after harvesting.

It's not just oranges; all imported and out-of-season fruits contain large amounts of preservatives and sweeteners.

Kyle thought Ernst was being a bit too anxious and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not about giving up fruit, but about controlling your intake. The amount of fruit you eat each day should ideally be larger than the size of your fist, otherwise you'll be seriously overdosing on sugar."

"Although most fruits are cold in nature and can be very harmful to the body, and sugar is the source of many diseases, it doesn't mean that eating fruit has no benefits at all."

Ernst did not discuss this topic in depth with the other party; he did not completely abstain, but rather tried to avoid it as much as possible.

"You should first think about how to satisfy me as a customer."

Kyle shrugged, exuding an air of effortless confidence. "No problem, but you'll need to get a full check-up first, and then I'll plan a healthy diet for you based on your physical condition."

The diet plan is not a recipe; theoretically, Ernst can eat whatever he wants.

This plan specifies the recommended intake of sugar, sodium, protein, and various vegetables within a week.

"You make the arrangements then, I'll wait for your call."

Kyle whistled, "Looks like I've landed a fantastic celebrity endorsement."

Kyle knew that Ernst was helping him, and as Ernst's fame grew, everything that happened around him would be noticed.

These things may not be reported by the media, but they will be known to the wealthy.

Ernst's professional nutritionist title is itself the best business card; many people will surely approach him to customize Ernst's signature meal.
