Chapter 402
Max stared fixedly at Carlisle, his eyes as sharp as a falcon’s..
His hands balled into fists.
“Max…” It was Gareth’s turn to kick Max.
He knew that Max was angry.
Max had trained in martial arts since he was young, and he was also an alternative
medicine physician who could cure many difficult diseases. He was only with Gareth
for Amos‘ sake. It was also to keep Gareth’s mania under control and protect him.
Gareth had once personally watched Max tear a crazed mastiff to pieces with his
bare hands.
Max exhaled and smiled thinly. “I don’t know much about games. Why don’t you
young people discuss it amongst yourselves?”
He stood up and walked over to the Ferrari.
“He’s probably entering menopause. Don’t mind him, Carl…” Gareth smiled as he
lifted his wine glass. “Cheers!”
Carlisle did not lift his own glass. He looked at Wanda instead and asked, “Are you
full?
Gareth’s smile froze.
Carlisle was clearly indicating that there was no need for further discussion!
Wanda patted her dress, which was stretched taut over her full stomach. Her teeth flashed as she grinned and said, “I’m full, and I’m kind of sleepy now…”
Carlisle fondly brushed the strands of hair from around her mouth and said gently,” Let’s go home and go to bed!”
He knew that the two games he had in mind would be explosively popular, and the
money it would bring in was beyond their imagination.
He had already helped Gareth narrowly escape death once. The only reason he was
discussing this collaboration with Gareth was to establish an amicable relatiorien with the aristocrats so that things would be easier for him in the future.
However, they still did not want to trust him. If that were so, there was no need for further discussion.
As for the 200 million in Investment funds, he was sure that both Lethan and Shania would find a way to get it. If there were no way to do so, he would wait until next year, when he could use the money he earned through the fishing business to invest
in his game.
“Carl…”
“Gareth, I’m getting tired. Let’s meet some other time.” Carlisle interrupted him, smiling slightly.
It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
“I’d like to get the bill.” Gareth pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet.
The owner smiled and said, “The bill for your table has already been paid. I still need to give you 160 dollars in change!”
Owen had dropped by that afternoon to pay a 300–dollar deposit.
Four steaks and the appetizers had only cost 140 dollars.
However, 140 did seem rather expensive for this period of time.
Gareth lit a cigarette and said, “Carl, I trust you. Let’s discuss this further!”
“Wanda’s sleepy. Let’s talk some other time!” Carlisle smiled calmly and took Wanda’s hand. He led her away.
At the side of the road, Max threw away his cigarette and hailed a cab for Carlisle.
In the end, he was only Gareth’s subordinate, whilst Carlisle and Gareth were
partners.
Carlisle got into the car and smiled as he thanked Max. “Max, I’m still young and inexperienced, and I had a lot to drink tonight. If I offended you in any way, please
don’t take it to heart.”
Max laughed heartily and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Zahn. I should have controlled my emotions better. That was remiss of me. Please don’t take my actions to heart, either!
After they had exchanged niceties with each other, Carlisle instructed the driver to
Max watched the cab disappear into the distance and returned to the dinner table.”
