I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445 - Getting Older, Getting Bigger Appetite

Maxim did not expect Myles to kick it to him and let him make a choice.
The two just confronted each other in this noisy environment for a long time in silence.
Finally it was Maxim who opened his mouth first.
"Then Mr. Hughes, how much should I charge for 300, 000 and it won't sound unreasonable to you?"
Maxim finished speaking, paused for a second, and added, "Mr. Hughes, don't forget that your mother-in-law's life was saved by me. Shouldn't Mr. Hughes take this into your account of the total money?"
Myles raised his eyebrows. "One million, of which 100, 000 for saving her."
Maxim gave a laugh, "Myles, you're making it difficult for me."
"One million, I gave it for the sake of our friendship."
Myles's tone was not warm nor cold, but the words that came out left no room for Maxim to ask for more.
From the time Myles came in, it had been nearly ten minutes.
Both of them had knives in their words.
But in the end it was Myles who revealed the hidden knife first.
The smile on Maxim's face faded a bit at this point, "Is this the price you're willing to pay?"
Myles said, "At this price, Master Knight has already made a fortune without any loss."
Myles said the truth. After all, from three hundred thousand to one million in three hours, this was a great deal of money for sure.
Not to mention the three million that was just asked for.
Once again, it reached an impasse.
The surrounding sound was still noisy, but here at this small room, it was so quiet that it made people tremble.
The expression on Myles' face was bland, seemingly unaffected by anyone or anything here.
Time passed minute by minute.
Maxim's phone rang on the table, breaking the quietness.
Maxim answered the phone, "What is it?"
"What? I got it, I'm coming over now."
Maxim's face changed quickly after answering the phone, and after hanging up, Maxim looked at Myles, "She was taken away by Anthony Austin's people."
Myles' face also turned cold after hearing Maxim's words, "Is Master Knight playing a trick on me?"
Maxim's face was also sullen. "It's true that I brought her back, and she was at my place when I spoke to you on the phone. But the money she owes is not just mine, and there are other creditors."
After hearing Maxim's words, Myles stood up. "Since Master Knight is not sincere, then we don't need to continue our negotiation."
"Myles."
As Myles turned around to leave, Maxim shouted out.
Myles stopped and turned his face to look at Maxim, "Master Knight still has something else to say?"
Maxim took two steps in front of Myles, bringing them closer. "I heard some years ago that you and Anthony are a bit at odds, and now your mother-in-law is in Anthony's hands, and do you think he will let you take her away so easily?"
Myles was slightly stunned after hearing Maxim's words. "When did the underground bank change owners?"
Maxim said, "At the end of last year. you had not come over here for a long time, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been unaware of this news until now."
Myles was not in Manches City during New Year's Eve, so he didn't follow what happened here, plus he had a lot of trouble with Bonnie at that time, so he didn't have the mood to care about these irrelevant things.
Besides, he also intended to gradually disappear from these occasions, so he didn't bother to manage some things here.
The people around him also naturally did not talk to him specifically about this.
After all, he already told them that do not bother him with nonsense.
Now at first hearing this news, Myles was still a little surprised.
After all, Anthony had never get involved in such business before.
Before Myles could think of how to respond to Maxim, Maxim's voice rang out again, "Myles, I know you want to quit this, but do you think this is a place where you can come in and get out as easily as you want?"
Myles laughed, "What, I can't get out?"
"You can." Maxim said, "But you must not forget that you are arrogant and you have offended so many people. Let's say Anthony, you think he will be so easy to shake hands with you and make peace?"
Myles listened to Maxim's words and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Master Knight is worrying a lot about my affairs."
Maxim smiled, "Myles, I still think highly of you, so if you need me later, I can be on your side. As for the money just now, I can also cancel it."
Myles naturally would not believe he could be so nice.
So after Maxim's words, Myles asked directly, "What are your terms?"
Seeing Myles so straightforward, then Maxim also directly got to the point. "I want No. 2 line of the channels of this black market."
After hearing Maxim's words, Myles chuckled low, "As Master Knight grows in age, your appetite is also getting bigger."
Maxim just smiled and did not answer.
Myles restrained his smile. "Besides, there is leeway in this matter."
Maxim nodded, "Okay, saving lives is important. I won't keep you any longer. I'll let my people take you there."
Myles did not refuse, nodded and turned away.
The man standing next to Maxim whispered, "Master Knight, do you think he will give us Line 2?"
Maxim was silent for a few seconds, looking at Myles's back, and whispered, "For that old woman, he will not, but for the young one he may even offer his own life."
Maxim resumed his seat. "Go and have someone follow him. Don't let anything happen to our money tree, or we'll lose our fortune."
"Okay."
The underground casino was at the other end of Maxim's territory.
The second floor underground was large with several hundred square meters.
So it still took a few minutes to walk there.
Maxim's men were a step behind Myles.
"Does your Master Knight have a grudge against Anthony?"
The man behind him shook his head when he heard Myles' words, "No, I guess, Master Knight and Anthony have nothing to do with each other."
Myles laughed lightly, "Soon there will be."
Just a few steps away, Myles saw Anthony leaning on the front of the car, smoking and talking on the phone.
Myles stopped walking and looked at the man following him, "Go back and tell your Master Knight that it is not a good idea to take Line 2, so he should prepare himself for the result."
The man glanced at Myles then nodded, "Yes, I'll pass it on to Master Knight."
Myles waved his hand, signaling that he could go.
After Maxim's man left, Myles walked up to Anthony and kicked the wheel.
Anthony almost subconsciously glanced to one side, and when he saw that the person standing in front of him was Myles, he raised his eyebrows, "That's all for now. I'm not going back to eat tonight."
Anthony hung up the phone, looked at Myles, and smiled, "Mr. Hughes, long time no see."
