The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd! Chapter 208 Long Delay Causes Trouble

208 Long Delay Causes Trouble

“Victor humiliated me at the family banquet today, causing my father to be greatly disappointed in me and no longer think highly of me. I can’t take this lying down. It doesn’t matter if I become the patriarch or not. I just have to think of a way not to let Victor become the new patriarch.”

“Cooperation is fine, but I said it myself.” Shan Yue’s lips curled up slightly in a meaningful smile. “When you regret it and come to me again, cooperation won’t be as simple as the first time.”

Carter considered for two seconds and asked, “Then what do you want for this cooperation?”

“It’s very simple,” Shan Yue replied quickly, as if she had thought of it in advance. “The normal acquisition project is 1.5 billion. When it becomes a billion, I’ll agree to cooperate.”

“No problem!” Carter agreed directly, his tone filled with determination. “If we can exchange 500 million for not letting him be the patriarch, this deal will be worth it no matter how you look at it.”

As soon as she said this, Shan Yue regretted saying too much. She should have said 500 million. Unfortunately, she had already decided and could not change it.

Carter’s tone clearly became excited. “Miss Shan, what good ideas do you have?”

“What did Mr. Charlie hate the most?”

“People who resort to deceit falsification!”

“That’s right.” Shan Yue smiled evilly. “Mr. Victor doesn’t know that the two of us have contacted each other. He thinks that the house arrest is private now. The deadline he gave will be in less than two days. I’ll find a way to go to the construction site to sign the contract together. At that time, I’ll reject him. As long as you arrange for someone to film the process in advance and spread it, the direction of public opinion will definitely force Mr.Charlie to hand this project to you.”

Carter’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning. “When the time comes, I’ll successfully sign with you for a billion. Once this is done, I’ll definitely have the advantage in the election.”

Shan Yue looked very relaxed. “That’s right. Mr. Carter is really smart.”

“Not at all. Miss Shan’s idea is still the best. I hope everyone can work together happily.”

With that, the two of them hung up. Carter stood up and called his a.s.sistant over. “Prepare everything according to my instructions. Also, send two smart people to keep an eye on…”

At the same time, at the banquet, the old man called Victor to his room alone.

“Victor, don’t think that you can secure this position just because I scolded your brother today.” The old man smiled, but there was coldness in his smile. “If neither of you has the ability to take over, I’ll still consider pa.s.sing the position to someone else.”

Victor bowed slightly. “I understand. I’ll definitely do my best to satisfy Father and live up to your expectations.”

“I hope you can keep your word. You’d better.” The old man’s voice was low as he slowed down his tone. “Don’t let me find out what you’re doing behind my back. I’ve told you what I hate the most since I was young.”

“Understood. I’ve always remembered that Father doesn’t like deceit,” Victor replied calmly on the surface, but he was actually panicking inside. Cold sweat broke out in his heart.

“Alright, it’s very late today. You should go back early.”

After the old man spoke, Victor quickly left the room. If he stayed any longer, his psychological defense would be broken sooner or later. On the way back, Victor watched the trees move faster and faster back through the window. He looked back at the villa and what he had now and made up his mind.

No, he could not delay any longer. The warning just now proved that the old man was already suspicious of him.

Panic appeared in Victor’s eyes as he turned to his a.s.sistant. “In order to prevent any delays, we’re not going to wait until tomorrow to ask Zhou Xuan and the others to make a decision. No one knows that they’re here. The longer we wait, the higher the chances of them being discovered.”

The a.s.sistant nodded and said timidly, “Isn’t it a little too fast?”

“I have no choice. It’s time to take a gamble.” Vicious killing intent flashed in Victor’s eyes, and he slowly clenched his fists.
