Chapter 185
He heard that she had bid on another piece of land in some prime area of Springfield recently and the amount involved was as high as 30 billion. A deposit of 3 billion had been paid and they would only need to pay the remaining 27 billion after they were deemed qualified.
This made David’s lavish points rise from 152 to 442. If he added the pending 270 points, he would be well on his way to his goal of 1000 points.
However, now Pearl’s investment had been blocked and there was no more source for lavish points anymore. This was not acceptable.
Although it was very important for him to go to Capital City, the premise was that he could not be dragged into a conflict.
If he could not get more lavish points, he would not be able to increase his strength. If he failed to do this, he would not be able to guarantee his safety.
In any case, his name was now on the lists of the two organizations, so there would be little to no effect whether he went a few days earlier or later.
First of all, he still had to settle Pearl’s matter in Springfield so that she could provide him with lavish points.
Therefore, David temporarily changed his plans and went to Springfield to see what was going on.
Springfield was the base of SCC. As one of the 13 core members of SCC, it would be very easy for him to deal with this matter, not to mention that he had two heavyweight identities that have not yet been exposed.
Just as David was on his way to Springfield alone…
Springfield.
Starry Night Hotel
This was one of the five ten-star hotels in the world.
Luxurious was no longer enough to describe this hotel.
It was rumored that the two lions at the entrance were made of pure gold, which showed the inhuman standard of luxury in this hotel.
In the meantime, inside a luxury suite on the 18th floor of the hotel.
Pearl was looking at the young man in front of her with an unpleasant expression on her face.
· Wayne and Gordon were standing behind her.
“Miss Warner, is what I said not clear enough? Or are you not taking my words seriously? I asked you to come here alone to see me, so what is the meaning of you bringing two people here?”
The young man sat cross-legged on the leather sofa and spoke with a glass of red wine in his hand.
“Gunther, what the hell do you want?” Pearl asked angrily.
“What do I want, Miss Warner? You should be very clear about that. I am infatuated with you and it all depends on whether you appreciate it or not,” Gunther said playfully.
“Gunther, stop dreaming! I’m just an employee, and if you keep making trouble, I’ll have to ask my boss to talk to you.”
“Oh? Who is your boss then? I’ve checked your company and found it’s just a newly established company in a backward place like South River Province.”
“So what if it’s a newly established company? Since it’s an auction, it’s only fair that the highest bidder wins. Our company has the highest bid and as long as we can come up with the money, it’s ours.”
“No, no, no, Miss Warner, you can’t say that. A newly established company needs to be investigated to see whether it has the strength to develop this land. As for the period, it’ll happen over three years.”
“You!” Pearl’s chest heaved violently, and she was unable to utter a single word.
A three-year inspection period?
How much would this cost the company?
Ordinary companies would definitely go bankrupt if Gunther did this.
Although she knew that David had money and this amount of money would not hurt him, as the person in charge of the investment department, she was the one leading this project and she would not allow herself to cause such a big loss to the company.
If David handed her this position, then she would have to do her best.
Now that this project had been blocked by Gunther pulling strings in the dark, she had to find a way to solve it. However, she would never agree to Gunther’s conditions!
