"But there are important matters that I want you all to handle before we take care of Daniel and the rest of the outer circle." Grace announced before anyone could have voiced another question.
She watched as all seven visibly straightened in their seats, ready to take her orders. Feeling satisfied, she started with Kevin.
"I need you to sell away all our assets, properties, my collections of luxury cars, bikes, clothes, jewelry, and all the other nonsense possessions I have piled up over the years." She said while sharing a list with him through phone that she previously prepared. "I have marked a couple of things that I want to keep. Sell everything else."
Kevin took a look at the list before he shifted his shocked gaze toward her. He struggled for a moment or two to speak as words seemed to have just disappeared somewhere. Finally, he asked, "Are... are you sure? You want me to sell EVERYTHING?"
"That's right." Grace answered while staring at his dumbfounded face. "I want you to sell EVERYTHING... and you need to sell them as quickly as possible."
Though he was still struggling to believe the task he had just received, Kevin still nodded his head in understanding. After all, the boss was being nothing like her usual self this morning. "I will do my best to not disappoint you."
"I know." Grace's voice softened for a moment before she shifted her attention toward the next two people sitting beside Kevin. "Aleena and Seth, you two will also help Kevin."
She stopped to take in a deep breath before she revealed her plan. "After taking care of the base and selling away everything, we will be spending all our time in acquiring supplies for the upcoming disaster. We will be needing a lot of money for that. I'm talking about hundreds of billions here. But we can't go around buying things in such large quantity. Sooner or later, it would bring unwanted attention towards us."
All seven nodded their heads, seemingly agreeing with her foresight. "Do you want to sell everything in cash?" Kevin asked as he caught up with her plan. "But we are talking about hundreds of billions here. It's impossible to get that much cash without alerting the authorities."
He was right too. They were in trouble either way - whether they used cash or bank accounts.
"That's why we are going to split it. Keep thirty percent of the money in cash. As for the remaining seventy percent, transfer them into several bank accounts. That's where you will need Seth's help. Open the accounts in different countries and make sure that they can never be traced back to us."
"As expected, you always have solutions for these troubles." Kevin whispered much to himself as he got to hear the full plan.
Grace refrained from smiling before she turned her attention toward Jasper. "Head to Country S immediately. I'm sending you two lists - one is of my connections there and the other about the deals you will be making there. Get the job done as soon as possible and let me know."
Jasper immediately opened the lists on his phone and while the list of top officials of the military of Country S didn't really surprise him, he was left stunned when he got a look at the second list.
1 Commercial Aircraft, 1 Cargo Aircraft, 10 Fighter Aircrafts, 10 Bomber Aircrafts, 5 Transport Aircrafts, 2 customized private jets, 10 Military Helicopters, 20 Agricultural Aircrafts, and 10 Utility Aircrafts.
"Fuck!" He cursed out loud the moment he finished reading the list, taking everyone around him by complete surprise. When he looked up at Grace again, his eyes were filled with shock. "We seriously can't let the authorities track us, or we will be done for."
His words made others curious and they were already hovering over his shoulders to take a look at the list in his phone. Once they were done, they carried similar expressions as that of Jasper.
"Which country are you planning to attack with these Boss?" Valeska asked as she settled down in her seat once again.
Grace let out a small sigh before replying, "Stop talking nonsense. These are for surviving the upcoming disaster, not for attacking anyone." She then turned her attention back to Jasper and asked, "You can do it, right?"
The man nodded his head in a positive response before he spoke, "We have dealed with Country S' military before for a much bigger deal. They are a reliable source as long as they will get what they want. But this is going to cost us a lot of money, somewhere up to 20 billion."
"Besides, if we are going to close our base, how are we going to transport all these things into the country?" Ryan posed another big issue.
"Don't worry." Grace spoke in a calm voice, her gaze shifting between the seven. "I will take care of the expenses. As for the second issue, we don't have to transport them into the country. Once Jasper have them ready, he will let me know and I will head to Country S to take care of the rest."
There was silence in the room as the seven exchanged more glances, but no one tried to pry any further since she didn't reveal much on her own. They just decided to trust her like she asked them to.
"Consider it done, Boss. I'll be on my way now." Jasper announced as he stood up from his seat, and with Grace's nod of approval, headed out.
Kevin, Aleena, and Seth too left soon after, leaving the remaining three with Grace.
"What orders do you have for us, Boss?" Ryan asked.
