Bernard had not expected that Charlie would turn on him immediately just like that.
He did not dare to joke around about the qualification to participate in the auction. Although he was sitting on a family fortune of more than a trillion dollars, once there was no life for him to enjoy, this family fortune could be said to be worthless, then.
So, he instantly succumbed and hurriedly switched to a humble and pleading demeanor as he begged, "Sir, don't be angry. Let’s discuss this matter amicably! Please tell Chairman Cameron that I'm willing to match the goods!"
After saying that, he stretched out his trembling hand as he pointed at the Oskia Imperial Jade Seal in Zachary's arms, and h e gritted his teeth as he said, "Isn’t that the Oskia Imperial Jade Seal? I will buy it!"
Charlie sneered and said, "It might not be enough for you to buy just the Oskia
Imperial Jade Seal..."
Bernard's heart tightened as he clenched his fists and asked in a trembling voice," Then... What else do you guys want me to buy?!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Zachary’s bulging bag of fake goods, and he hurriedly said, "Why don't I buy the bronze wine bottle from just now? That should be fine, right?”
Charlie shook his head, and he pulled up the purchase order from when he had matched goods in the shop at noon, and he spoke up, "Look for yourself. Our boss purchased dozens of big and small items i n your shop and now, you're only purchasing two items from us. Don't you think that's a little unjustified?”
Bernard blurted out, "B-But in that list of yours, the sum of all of the matched goods i s only one million dollars! This... This
Oskia Imperial Jade Seal is already three o r four hundred million dollars, and even if you guys are doing this for revenge, you cannot be so ruthless, right?!"
Charlie said very solemnly, "We are all businessmen, and we pay attention to reciprocation. If you keep insisting on referring to this reciprocation as revenge, it would be a little meaningless, then. As I've just said, we are not forcefully selling things nor forcing you to buy things. If you are not happy, we can simply choose not to do this business." "Sorry. This is all my fault..." Bernard was completely frightened. He knew that matching goods worth hundreds of millions or even a billion dollars was a small matter. What was most terrifying was if the organizer were to suddenly ask him to match goods again on the spot in the event that he was to successfully win the bid for the Rejuvenating Pill at the auction for ten billion dollars. That would truly be an astronomical sum!
So, he hurriedly clasped one of his hands over the other before Charlie and said, "Sir, I used the wrong words when I spoke just now. Please do not take it to heart... Just tell me how many goods I will need to match and which goods I should match. I will not say another word as long as it is within my means and I can afford it!”
