Marvel Saiyans - Chapter 37

“Now, acquiring a farm with over fifty acres, an irrigation system, a generator, and a groundwater well only costs about one hundred thousand dollars. Previously, it would have been four hundred thousand!”

Clint Sharp exclaimed with animated gestures.

His daughter, Katrina Sharp, sat on the other side of the sofa, methodically presenting to Broly the disadvantages of investing in Lahitas Town’s farms.

The prices of farms around Lahitas Town have plummeted, but even so, they hold little investment value. Firstly, just over twelve miles away is the US-Mexico border, a hotspot for smugglers and drug traffickers, making security a significant issue.

With limited tax revenue, Lahitas Town is severely understaffed in police, exacerbated by the resignation of three officers following the Giant Ape attack. They are powerless to maintain law and order.

Secondly, the farms around Lahitas Town are small, mostly under 49 acres, with those between 50 to 179 acres being small to micro-sized, almost all family or individual farms scattered and disjointed.

Unlike leisure farms with mountains and lakes, these farms have no tourist or leisure value, all being developed into farmland and orchards, making them hard to sell even under normal circumstances.

Even if the effects of the Giant Ape attack fade and the farms’ prices return to their original values, they would still be challenging to sell and quickly end up unsellable.

Such unsellable farms can easily cause people to go bankrupt, as managing a farm is not simple. The international agricultural market is unpredictable, often suffering severe drops or spikes due to climate, policy, or international relations. A sharp fluctuation in the price of a single agricultural product could directly lead to bankruptcy for many farmers.

“Katrina! What are you doing!”

Clint Sharp was on the verge of exploding, frantically signaling to his daughter. Katrina was acting insanely. He was risking his life to persuade Broly so he could pay for her tuition. Moreover, the farms in Lahitas Town were not unsellable; they were slightly more challenging to sell.

Katrina swallowed her tears, speechless with misery.

Dad, I’m trying to save you! You don’t know, these two are monsters transformed from the Giant Ape; getting too close to them means being eaten!

“Alright, I’ve decided.” Broly interrupted the strange exchange of glances between father and daughter. He opened his backpack, took out a check, and handed it to Clint Sharp: “This is a check from Rich Nation Bank, totaling two million three hundred and twenty thousand dollars. See how many farms it can buy. Difficulty in selling doesn’t affect me, and I’m not planning to sell. I will manage these farms myself.”

Clint Sharp carefully took the check, holding it with both hands. It was his first time handling so much money, fearing he might accidentally tear the check.

Saiyans are naturally good at farming. After Goku used his prize money from the World Martial Arts Tournament, he supported his family by farming on Mount Paozu. Moreover, the Turtle School martial arts techniques allow one to practice while farming.

Broly was already planning to use Kakarot as a beast of burden. Moreover, even if the land lay fallow, it didn’t matter as long as he could complete the primary mission.

Katrina felt dizzy, the room spinning around her, barely keeping her composure by sheer willpower. If Broly were buying farms and planning to settle in Lahitas Town, they would be neighbors forever.

“By the way.”

Broly suddenly remembered something.

“Bang!”

With a puff of white smoke, Broly used the Oolong Transformation Technique to turn into a muscular young man with slightly curly black hair, chiseled features, rugged looks, and a pair of black pupils tinged with melancholy.

“Clark Kent, let’s name this identity Clark Kent and set the nationality to Bolivian. I’ll use this identity to own the farms,” Broly said.

Using Clark Kent’s identity to acquire the farms was appropriate.

Since Clark Kent needed to hold real estate, Broly planned to make this identity foolproof, at least strong enough to withstand scrutiny. Otherwise, owning the farm and having it confiscated before it could turn a profit would be a significant loss. Bolivia was an excellent choice. Given Alejandro had chosen to settle there, he likely had substantial connections, and fabricating an identity in the chaotic local registry wouldn’t be difficult.

Texas law does not prohibit foreigners from purchasing property in the state.

The reason for not seeking help from Matt, who would have made things easier, was because Broly always remained wary of the CIA. An individual’s will hardly mattered in a leviathan-like organization with nearly limitless power.

It could pose a significant risk if Matt knew too much about Broly’s secrets.

“What’s wrong?”

He noticed Katrina’s gaze was somewhat strange.

“Nothing… nothing…”

Katrina’s heart thudded wildly, fear chilling her limbs.

Indeed, a monster! As a voracious reader, Katrina read extensively, not only “Journey to the West” but also many obscure fantasy novels.

Broly and Kakarot must be the mythical Sh?nx? from legends, with tails and mastery in transformation, capable of turning into a giant ape and a handsome young man to bewitch young women.

His reason for buying farms in Lahitas Town must be to lure and consume the town’s young women!

Katrina had already conjured a complete horror movie scenario in her mind. With Broly’s current appearance, the Lahitas Town Middle School girls would flock to him like lemmings.

She believed that beneath those purchased farms would eventually lie heaps of victims’ bones. The disappearance of people wouldn’t escape the FBI’s notice, and they wouldn’t be able to catch a shape-shifting Broly. Her father, Clint, who had facilitated the farm purchases and lived next door, would inevitably be implicated and end up in prison.

Thinking of that dreadful scenario, Katrina shivered.

“Do you have a family history of Parkinson’s, always shivering like this?” Broly looked at the peculiar father and daughter with some confusion. He dusted off his clothes and stood up from the sofa, “Clint, you handle the local land brokerage. Try to get the price down. I’ll give you a two thousand commission for every ten thousand dollars you save. Don’t cut corners, or you’ll regret it.”

Having lived here half his life and familiar with the local conditions, Clint Sharp was the best choice to lead the acquisition. Broly trusted he wouldn’t dare to swindle his own money.

Broly spoke, picking up Kakarot, and headed towards the farmland. He took advantage of the downtime and planned to teach Kakarot the Turtle School techniques to lay a foundation.

If there was anyone on Earth he trusted the most, it was Kakarot. As a fellow Saiyan, Kakarot had exceptional potential. With dedicated training, when Frieza arrived, they could defeat him using the fusion technique of Metamoran.
