Harvey casually poured himself a cup of ck tea before taking a sip.


    Joseph was a man who knew how to enjoy himself; the tea itself must’ve cost a few thousand dors per pound.


    “People outside have been saying that you only got this far because of the women you cling to.”


    “But I have to admit, you’re quite the capable man.”

    Joseph put his utensils down, ncing at Harvey with admiration.


    “Not only are you skillful at fighting, but you’re extremely scheming as well.”


    “You already knew I’d have no way out when you did this, didn’t you?”


    “Other people would think you’re just using my brother against me…”


    “But I can’t help but be impressed by your tricks!”


    It wasn’t Joseph’s first time suffering in Harvey’s hands, but he could clearly tell just how much of a nuisance


    Harvey was after this battle.


    That was why he stopped his meaningless efforts to fight back.


    He would only cause himself to be more passive, and eventually suffer from it.


    Harvey replied with a faint smile.


    “Thank you for yourpliment. Courtesy goes both ways, yes?”


    “I wouldn’t have done something like this had you given up.”


    Joseph narrowed his eyes.


    “Right. You’re the one who wanted to talk. What did you want to talk about?” he asked coldly.


    “Simple: if you promise me one thing, I’ll bury the hatchet between us right now.”


    Harvey gulped down his tea and smiled.


    “I’ve calcted everything this morning. You must have around nine thousand properties that you haven’t sold in


    Flutwell’s new district, right?”


    “And judging from your fixed price of 1.5 million per property, this must cost about one billion three hundred and


    fifty million total.”


    “I’m a nice person. I love solving troubles for other people.”


    “If you’re willing to sell the properties to me, I’ll give you a number you can’t decline: one hundred and fifty million


    dors.”


    “That way, not only will you not have the need to worry about Flutwell’s new district anymore…”


    “But you’ll also have that money and a good friend supporting you: me.”


    “What do you say?”


    Joseph’s face twitched. Then, heughed coldly.


    “You’re trying to buy the entire new district with just ten percent of the price?”


    “I worked so hard for so many years-I put all of my blood, sweat, and tears into this, and you expect me


    to just hand it over?!”


    “Do you think I’m stupid?!”


    “No deal!”


    “No?”


    Harvey smiled again.


    “Flutwell’s business alliance’s stock is already down by ten points. Judging from today’s trends, it might just drop by


    twenty…”


    “You’d need at least hundreds of millions of dors to try bottom-fishing, right?”


    “Do you have any other sources to raise that much money? Do you really not want my money?”


    “If that’s the case, I can only throw that money in just to lower the stock prices even more.”


    “For the sake of the stock market and our friendship, I suggest you sell everything to me.”


    “I can even get you a room there if you want. You can visit anytime to look at the scenery when you’re in a bad


    mood. How does that sound?”
