Regal Guard of Dragon novel Chapter 840

The old man smiled and walked over to Finn.

He sat down on the seat beside Finn and said slowly, "Are you Finn? Finn Chen?"

Finn surveyed the old man. His cheeks flushed red and he looked energetic though he was in old age and there were some wrinkles on his face.

"Yes, but you address me too politely."

"Mr. Chen is so modest. You deserve to be highly respected considering your status in the business world and your martial arts skills."

"But you sent such a rude man to invite me here and had him told me that you would inform Mount Tian Sect of my whereabouts if I didn't go with him. That's your meaning, right?"

The old man did not apologize when he heard Finn's question, but just said in a calm tone, "If I didn't say so, it might be difficult to invite you to come here. But I can guarantee that if Mr. Chen really doesn't want to visit, I won't be able to do that rude. I have always admired Mr. Chen."

"You admire me? Are you kidding?" Finn said with surprise.

But the man looked calm and continued, "Mr. Chen, let's get down to business. I don't think you would like to waste your time on such trivial matters since you are here."

The old man tried to muddle through, but Finn didn't want to waste more time though he didn't like the man.

"Well, let's get down to business. I'll settle the things with you when I deal with the matters."

The old man gave a dry laugh.

"If it wasn't for Mr. Chen's 300,000, I wouldn't have known that Mr. Chen had come to this desert. That 300,000 made me do a lot more things for the desert, so I won't complain about anything." The old man said it with a smile, so did Finn.

"I asked the red-haired man to tell you that you must haven't given enough money to Old Yang so that he didn't agree to sell that piece of land. You can't blame me. I didn't expect that the red-haired man would betray you for 300,000. Did they not tell you?"

The old man felt embarrassed, but still remained composed, though his tone was no longer as mild as just now.

"Yes, but we are not as rich as Mr. Chen. For you, 300,000 is just a small amount of money, but for us, it's hard-earned money."

"No, my money is also hard-earned money." Finn interrupted him immediately.

The old man did not dwell on this matter as the argument wouldn't yield anything useful.

"I am not arguing with Mr. Chen about this, or back to business. Since you have come here and knowing that you are a martial artist, I have thought of a thing that you will be interested in."

"Yes?" Finn was curious.

The old man then gestured to the girl beside him to place something on the coffee table in front of Finn and them.

The girl slowly uncovered the cloth, and it was a small box with a very delicately embroidered peony embedded with gold silk on the outside.

"Open it up."

The girl used a small key to unlock the box when she heard the old man's order. Then box then clicked to open.

Finn peeked at it with curiosity, but he did not see something. What was inside was a delicate pure gold box.
