At the same time, countless large air cushions were also transported and began to inflate under the roller coaster. It’s double protection. I took the lead on the ladder, walked for a long time, on a hundred meters high in the air, afraid of heights so I did not dare to look down. But because Kely was trapped here, I came up without thinking about it. At this time, my legs softened and I watched the ladder slowly build.
One by one, trapped tourists were rescued in an orderly way. But I didn’t see Kely. I quickly dialed her phone. “Why don’t you come down?”
“I’m the last to come down!” Kely said with great certainty.
“I will not run for my own life and leave the people of Aston alone!” Kely added. 
Her words make me feel that she is more qualified than Erik and me to lead this country.
“Well, I’ll wait for you here for a while!” I was moved and choked. 
But Kely laughed. “Look, I’m scared of you! But you’re afraid of heights again. You’re a big man. How dare you be so timid?”
“I didn’t! I’m not timid!” I’m making useless excuses.
Ten minutes later, all the tourists were rescued, and now there’s only Kely on it. 
I summoned up courage and said to the rescuers nearby, “I’ll go myself!” I went up the ladder in a hurry. I saw Kely, and I reached for her hand. I just put my hand together with hers, and I finally took a breath. At this moment, the roller coaster suddenly rushed back down. Kely pulled away, and I was also pulled out by this huge inertia. I was thrown straight into the air.
Fortunately, Kely held me tight. Soon, the car stopped, Kely hung upside down in the air, and I grabbed her with both hands. We were like monkeys trying to catch the moon. Below is an abyss of more than ten meters. If I’m not careful, I’ll fall to pieces.
She looked at me. “Don’t look down, wait for help! I won’t let go.”
I also pretended to be calm. “How are you?”
“It’s hanging upside down. I feel a little dizzy!” she said.
Rescue personnel quickly built the ladder. In this way, we were hung up for 10 minutes and were rescued. We were transported to the ground and hugged together. Countless people were watching us. And countless people have countless mobile phones in their hands. They applauded for us. What I can’t imagine is how many people are watching us and clapping for us through the camera of their mobile phones.
This was originally a huge safety accident. When it was broadcasted live all over the world, my Disneyland was completely ruined. But I never thought that the prince himself saved people and almost killed them. This plot is incomparable to any public relations event. We calmed down and began to be rational.
Was the accident just an accident? I started the investigation. Soon, it turned out that someone had transferred $1 million to a very private account of my roller coaster engineering manager. I checked the remitter’s account from South Asia.
It’s not difficult to find Erik’s shadow after tracing all the way. Sure enough, my brother, our war is about to begin. But he should not involve others for the benefit of both of us. What if this accident was not handled in time and causes human life? Maybe in Erik’s opinion, human life is nothing compared to having power.
Well, since he has been reduced to this point, I will not be polite. I will never let the kingdom of Aston fall into his hands. Zayed has been in Aston for half a month and is preparing to leave. I stopped him at the airport.
“Zayed, for you and my dream, you have to help me!” I took his hand and said.
“It’s hard for idealists to succeed!” Zayed looks embarrassed. Then he suddenly smiles and says, “It’s a simple thing. Prince Zayed won’t do it!
Because of the perfect handling of the Disneyland incident, my father was very happy. He came to my office in person. Yes, he can’t even call it a company.
I just rented a floor in a residential building in the suburb of the capital. Now there is only seven or eight staff on my side. No one knows that this humble place and this group of white-collar workers in very simple clothes actually control 10% of the economic lifeline of Aston kingdom.
The king was sitting on the old sofa, and I stood in front of him. He pulled me to his side and motioned me to sit down.
“Why do you suffer in such a place?”  Father asked me.
“The company’s funds are limited. It’s very good here,” I explained.
“I heard that your salary is the highest in the world, and you only work half a day per day?” My father asked me.
“Yes, work is not the whole of my life. I don’t want my employees to be immersed in work every day and lose their lives for my career,” I said.
“That won’t work!” my father seemed worried.
“Our company’s revenue is fairly good, and we have achieved your goals…” I replied.
“A company can, but what about a group?” he asked me.
“Group? What do you mean? I don’t know.” I asked.
“Aston investment group of our royal family is one of the top 500 companies in the world, with an estimated value of 300 billion. With tens of thousands of employees, can you still rely on your “benevolent” way of management?” My father said.
“It’s the same way, but the skill is different,” I said. Is the royal group going to be managed by me? I’m still a little excited, but it’s a hard nut to crack. Now it’s governed by a set of top managers in the world. If I’m allowed to operate, I’m terrified.
“Well, well said!” My father suddenly praised me and added, “The group is up to you!”
Three days later, the news came out that I was in charge of Aston investment group. Erik called right away and said, “Congratulations, my brother! Aston group is an important source of revenue for us. I’m most relieved that you’re in charge of it!” He sounded more like the king of Aston than his father.
