Chapter 692
Everyone in the vicinity overheard their conversation, and sure enough, murmurs were exchanged with one another.
"So the Divine Bird is that pricey because they used special materials?"
"Doesn't that mean the Hundred Birds' materials aren't capable of supporting the medieval-style buildings?"
"Will the Hundred Birds be able to find the materials? If they can't, the entire project would be over, won't it?"
Everyone discussed as they looked at Max.
Charmine, meanwhile, languidly looked at him and asked, "President D'Cruz, do you still want to take over the Jordan Group, and the Divine Bird to boot?"
Max's gaze darkened; he never expected the situation to turn out in such a way.
He had already used the best materials available, yet they still were not enough?
Forget about the Divine Bird. If he could not get those quality materials, the Hundred Birds Project would have to conceal the hundreds of billions he invested that would be wasted.
No. That would not happen; not on his watch.
As if thinking of something, his gaze swiftly shifted to Charmine. Ì already gave you a chance just now, but you didn't take it, and I regret it now. Since you owe me hundreds of thousands, how will your small Jordan Group worth the price? You either hand out a thousand billion worth of compensation, or you hand over Jordan Group with your material suppliers." 3
He wanted their resources and materials above owning the Jordan Group- that was what he meant.
Hmph. The gears in his head were quick to work after all...
However, Charmine merely scoffed, "You keep asking me to hand over the Jordan Group, but with your capability, do you think you can maintain the quality after taking over the Divine Bird? Furthermore, you've been framing me since the beginning, plotting and harming me, and all you wanted was to take over the Jordan Group, no? Do you really think I don't have evidence?"
Max's eyelids twitched. Evidence? She had evidence?
It felt like things were getting out of hand for him...
As his worries grew, Charmine continued, "When I walked past here, I slipped after stepping on something. I'm so sure that I stood on some pearls, but there was nothing on the floor. Baffled me, it did, until the people from the management came and mentioned something about rare materials. Suddenly, I recalled the new invention that the black market is selling. There are transparent pearls invisible to the naked eye, yet it was solid enough to cause someone to trip once placed on the ground.
Moreover, they’d vanish in three minutes upon being placed on the ground, with no trace of it left behind. These pearl-like objects are very popular and well-used in the entertainment industry, especially during the red carpet event. Female celebrities liked to frame one another with pleasure, but who would've thought that the well-reputable President D'Cruz would use such a thing in an attempt to ruin me?" 1
Max's hands inside his pockets clenched tightly. This was a material only to be found in Kansas; only the celebrities in Kansas would use such a thing. How did Charmine know?
However, as the mighty wolf he was, he kept calm and stoic, offering a smile to boot. "Ms. Jordan is good at making up things. If you said no evidence could be made, how can you say that I framed you? What evidence do you have?"
"I wouldn't have accused you if I didn't have any evidence. Everyone knows that this material would vanish silently upon touching the ground, but nobody knows that once this material comes into contact with brocade fabric, they won't actually vanish. Coincidentally, the sole of the heels I’m wearing today are wrapped in brocade fabric." 1
With that said, Charmine removed her heels in front of everyone. She held her heels and showed the soles to the crowd.
The eyes of the people widened in shock at what they saw.
