“How much we pay isn’t the point. However, if we offend the Black Dragon, the Xenoses will be ruined.”
“It really is the Black Dragon. The Black Dragon General of the Southern Plains, the behind-the-scenes owner of Transgenerational, and the one behind the destruction of the Xaviers and the death of the Great Four’s leaders.”
“Back then at the House of Royals, I saw Zavier Watson kneeling before the Black Dragon with my own eyes.”
Richard was a representative of North Cansington in the Five Provinces Business Alliance.
He had a pretty good idea about who bought Transgenerational New City.
Hence, the moment he received Gavin’s call, his face turned pale.
“This b*stard! I’ll kill him!”
Richard stormed off to the Gastronome.
At the Gastronome, Thea was drinking.
She had drunk at least twenty glasses of wine.
She could not drink any further.
Seeing that the opportunity was ripe, Cyrus took out a wad of banknotes and tossed it at James. “Hey, trash. Take this and enjoy yourself. Augustus will send your wife back tomorrow morning.”
Accepting the money, James’s face remained impassive.
His actions had not gone unnoticed by Thea, who was slowly losing consciousness.
She was dismayed.
Meanwhile, Augustus was thrilled.
Would he finally get what he wanted?
Watching Thea’s curvaceous figure, he gulped. He could even foresee how the scene in the room with Thea would play out.
Thump!
At that moment, the door was kicked open.
A fifty-year-old-looking man stormed in with a dozen bodyguards close behind.
“Beat him up. Beat the sh*t out of him!”
It was Richard.
Augustus froze upon seeing Richard. “Uncle, why are you…?”
“Ah!”
Before he could finish his words, a bodyguard pounced on him. He grabbed Augustus’ hair and slapped him with great force.
Augustus was bewildered.
Thea was dumbfounded.
Everyone was flabbergasted.
James looked at Richard and said coldly, “A Xenos made my wife accompany him for a drink. As Thea’s body is priceless, I’m afraid the price will be exorbitant. A hundred million per glass. I’ve been counting. My wife drank around twenty glasses of wine. Give us two billion, and we’ll let this slide.”
“What? Have you gone mad?”
Thea, who was tipsy, immediately regained her senses. She looked at James and rebuked him, “Stop spouting nonsense, James. What do you mean by a hundred million per glass? What do you mean by two billion? You’ve gone mad.”
“We’ll gladly pay.”
Richard dared not refute James.
Zack had explained everything to him.
This was the Black Dragon, the existence that stood at the top of the power pyramid.
A single order from the Black Dragon could spell doom for the Five Provinces Business Alliance, let alone the Xenoses.
Although two billion dollars was a hefty sum, he would gladly pay as long as the problem could be resolved.
Richard lifted his head and pleaded, “Ms. Thea, I’ll pay. Two billion, is that right? Give me your account number. I’ll make the bank transfer immediately.”
“W-What…?”
Thea was bewildered.
Two billion dollars was not a small sum.
Who was this person? How was he giving up two billion dollars just like that?
