A man, who people had begun to get to know, stood in front of a video camera. Behind him, an office desk could be seen, sitting on it was stacks and stacks of money. The man was wearing an expensive black suit and this time held a glass of brandy in his hand.
''Good evening world. Some of you have got to know me a bit better, some have chosen to assist me. Some of you are confused as to who I am and what I seek. So I'm going to be blunt. My name is Markus Valentine, I consider myself the only survivor of a failed nation. I was entrusted with large amounts of money. I seek only two things, money and power. I am not a power hungry dictator who plans on killing his people. I am a normal everyday person who seeks wealth. I was given a small island with which I have allowed companies to buy property in return for money, goods and protection. This has earned me some extra cash. I am looking to invest in products being developed in nations, military hardware to be exact. I am willing to put sums of money and allow research and production facilities to be built on my island and all I ask for is a part in the profits and production rights to the product. Another thing I'm looking to do is buy stocks. Is your company doing well, sell me some stocks. I'm even willing to buy out companies that are failing, invest money and bring them back to their feet. I will need something in return though. So if anyone can help me do any of these things, let me know.''
The camera was shut off. Markus went and sat behind his desk and counted his money. He looked out the window and saw new houses and factories being built. He smiled and laughed. To him, money is happiness.
