Chapter 16 Bet


    Adrian even lit up a cigar and took a whiff of it. Then he said, "Young man, it''s never a shame to be


    poor. But disguising as the rich while you are poor will be quite humiliating! I know you might just


    purchase one or two apartments. But if you still brag that you got 92 in total, that would be quite


    awkward!"


    Obviously, both of them didn''t believe that Conrad could afford the whole building.


    "Well, what if I do?"


    Conrad nced at Adrian, an obese middle-aged man, who looked ugly with his big belly. His suit


    couldn''t even fit his body as some of the buttons of it were off and there was even no hair left on his


    head. He looked awful and even a bit funny.


    "If you do have 92 apartments in total, I will eat all the certificates! And what if you don''t?" Adrian


    provoked.


    "Then I will eat 92 certificates as well." Conrad felt quite interesting as he really wanted to see how this


    man was going to eat the certificates. So he made the bet and then threw the key of his Lamborghini to


    Amara, who still stood beside. He told her to bring over the box in his car.


    Amara soon ran out and returned with a big heavy box.


    "What are you doing?" Manager warned Conrad, "If you want to mess around, I am calling the security


    guard!"


    Conrad ced the box on the table and opened it, where therey a pile of red certificates. Then he


    said to Adrian, "Help yourself! Do you need some seasoning?"


    "What?"


    Adrian was stunned and took out a few from the box. He noticed they were all Property Ownership


    Certificates indeed. He then opened them one by one and checked them carefully. He was really


    surprised to find that the apartment numbers were all consecutive. And they were all the apartments of


    the Residence Building No.5 in thismunity.


    "They must be fake! Manager Berry,e to check them all!"


    Then, Adrian also asked someone to check the verification of those certificates.


    Manager Berry was also quite confused. He then took over the certificates and checked them one by


    one. Though it was really hard for him to believe it, they were still indeed verified as all information


    about thepany and numbers on certificates conformed to the database.


    "How could that be possible? When was the whole building sold out?"


    As the manager of the sales department, Manager Berry should be informed in advance. He


    immediately turned to the ounting department to confirm the information and he was told that they


    did receive the sum of money transferred in the morning, and the total of which was more than 100


    million.


    "No way! This young man is a super billionaire?" Manager Berry was totally rendered stunned on spot.


    But since the purchase of the whole building was confirmed, it meant to be a great bonanza for


    Manager Berry as he could get a big bonus, which was exactly offered by this nice-looking young man


    standing right in front of him.


    "Mr. Porter, I am so sorry to slight you just now! Please forgive me!" Then he turned to look at other


    staffs and shouted, "Serve this gentleman the best seat and the best tea! Bring over the top-quality Pi


    Lo Chun tea in my office here! Now!"


    At this moment, all staffs in the sales office were busy doing their best to serve Conrad. Some of them


    were getting a settee for him. Some of them were making tea and bringing fruits and refreshments


    while some of them were fanning for Conrad as if he were the emperor of the kingdom.


    After all, Conrad did the most incredible thing they had ever known—he just bought the whole building!


    "Hold on!" Conrad stopped them from fawning and then he continued, "But now I want to see you to eat


    all the certificates, Mr. Cook!"


    Since the purchase was confirmed and so did all the certificates. Conrad did win the bet and Adrian


    needed to eat all certificates ording to it.


    Conrad then threw the pile of certificates in his front and beckoned him to do as required.


    Adrian immediately snuffed the cigar and smiled awkwardly, "Well, I don''t think it''s a good idea. You


    know, since the certificates are so important and I am afraid it might bother you if I do so."


    "It''s okay." Conrad sat on the settee casually, "Don''t worry. I can go through the procedure again on my


    own."


    "Well, I am sorry I have to go to deal with some business." Adrian then figured out an excuse and stood

    up to leave.


    Manager Berry still asked tentatively, "Mr. Cook, what about the ten apartment you mentioned?"


    "Well, you know, I have some problems of my budgets. Let''s see another day." Adrian hurried to leave


    as he felt really embarrassed.


    Commonly speaking, Adrian should be treated with great respect as he nned to buy ten apartments


    in total. But he waspletely outdone by Conrad, who just purchased a whole building with 100


    million. He felt really humiliated to stay here even for one more second.


    Of course, Conrad didn''t n to force him to eat the certificates. He just really hated him for being so


    arrogant. Since he ran away, he would just let it go.


    Conrad made a salesman put all certificates back to the box and send them back to his car. Then he


    returned to the reception room.


    All staffs including Manager Berry followed behind Conrad with great respect as if a high-rank official


    came for inspection.
