The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd! Chapter 203 Extortion

203 Extortion

Mu Wei said softly, “Looks like there’s more to this project.” As Victor suddenly turned around, Mu Wei immediately shut his mouth, afraid that he would be discovered.

“I’m sorry for making a fool of myself just now.” Victor bowed slightly with an apologetic expression. “It’s really because this project is so attractive that many people want to fight for it. That’s what happened just now.”

“We all understand.” Mu Wei smiled. “This can highlight the value of this land. Since it’s fine now, let’s hurry up and sign the contract to avoid any worries.”

At this moment, the a.s.sistant who had returned whispered something in Victor’s ear. His eyes gradually became serious. “We should sign the contract, but this money problem…”

Mu Wei frowned in confusion. “The money is fine. Didn’t we agree on 1.5 billion? We’re already prepared.”

“Mr. Mu, I believe you misunderstood Mr. Victor’s words.” Shan Yue’s eyes became sharp and deep. “He means that he wants to raise the price.”

“I didn’t expect this lady to be a smart person. But how could you say that I want to raise the price?” Victor’s lips curled into a cold smile. “We’re just letting this land sell for its rightful value.”

Zhou Xuan’s eyes became sharp, giving off a very oppressive feeling. “Mr. Victor, this is different from what we discussed beforehand.”

“Discussed before?” A cold mockery flashed across Victor’s brows. “That was in Federal Center City. This is Las Vegas. You have to listen to me on my territory.”

“What are you—”

Before Mu Wei could finish speaking, Victor revealed a cold smile. “I’ll give you three days to consider. Two billion yuan. If it works, we’ll deal. If it doesn’t, I can’t guarantee what the consequences will be. However, I’ll remind you out of kindness. All the bodyguards around you are under my control now, don’t think of acting rashly. Your every move is under my surveillance.”

With that, Victor left the building with his a.s.sistant, leaving a group of security guards to follow the three of them.

“I didn’t know Victor was like that.” Mu Wei frowned. “They’re committing extortion. We can sue him.”

“What evidence do you have?” Zhou Xuan’s words. .h.i.t Mu Wei in the head.

“Mr. Mu, find an opportunity to investigate.” Shan Yue turned sideways and lowered her voice. “Find out what’s going on at Victor’s house. From the argument with the butler just now, he must have had a conflict with his family.”

While Mu Wei was still hesitating, Zhou Xuan’s domineering words reached his ears. “Do as she says.”

“I want to see what tricks you can play,” Shan Yue muttered softly. Then, she turned to the two of them. “Since it’s already like this, we don’t have to stand here. Let’s go back to the hotel first, but we’ll have to stand their surveillance.”

When the two of them returned to the hotel, as expected, there were unfamiliar faces standing at the door.

“Don’t be afraid.” Zhou Xuan leaned over Shan Yue, and the sense of security he emitted instantly a.s.saulted her. “They’re only responsible for monitoring us. We haven’t decided if we want to sign the contract yet. To Victor, we’re still valuable guests. He won’t do anything to us.”

Shan Yue nodded and did not stay long. The two of them returned to their rooms.

Just in case, Zhou Xuan specially sent He Sheng a message after returning to his room.

[Check Victor’s situation quickly.]

Everything was within Zhou Xuan’s expectations. After a while, Mu Wei returned to his room and made a call. “I’m sorry, President Zhou. I really couldn’t shake off those security guards, so I didn’t find anything.”

Zhou Xuan covered his face with one hand and said helplessly, “I shouldn’t have agreed to Shan Yue’s words and let you investigate. You’ve never been a detective. It’s okay, I’ve already handed this matter to He Sheng. Rest first.”

After ending the call with Mu Wei, He Sheng’s profile picture started flas.h.i.+ng on the computer.

[President Zhou, Victor’s family is a relatively famous family in the area. The person in charge is called Charlie Smith. The eldest son of the family is called Victor Smith, who is also the one who discussed the project with us. The second son is called Carter Smith.]
