Chapter 688: Chapter 688: The Invaluable Ashtray_1
Enduring does not mean fear!
Jay King, also known as ‘Overlord’, was an existence that roamed forcefully in the Americas.
Now, in Gonzalez City, he had suffered such immense humiliation and was even ordered around like a servant, he had already been seething with rage!
Once Jay King realized Julius Reed had been ying him all along, a cold glint shed in his eyes!
His fists also mmed straight down towards Julius Reed’s legs!
At such close range, he waspletely confident he could confine Julius Reed to a wheelchair for life.
...
To live out his remaining years!
If one dared to y him, they had to pay the price!
Whoosh!
Just as Jay King made his move, the corners of Julius Reed’s mouth curled into a slight arc.
His legs moved away with an incredible speed, and at the same time, his right hand gently flicked, pushing the ashtray on the table to where his legs had just been.
Crack!
Jay King’s fists, as hard as steel, mmed down ferociously!
He smashed the ashtray to pieces!
Swish!
After shattering the ashtray, the force of his punch continued and copsed the entire conference table!
Unimaginable.
Such a force, if it were to hit a person’s legs, what would be the oue!
“Hiss!”
Jay King sucked in a breath of cold air!
That was ss!
Even if his fists were hard, his body was still flesh and blood!
The remnants of the ashtray had cut his fists all over, with fresh blood continuously dripping down.
“What’s going on!”
Swish!
The door to the meeting room was suddenly pushed open.
Kong, standing guard outside with dozens of bodyguards, surrounded the meeting room so tightly that no water could get through!
“Miss, are you alright!”
Kong quickly moved to stand behind Itai Huntington, pulling out a hidden weapon box from his waist, eyeing Chopter and Jay King with a menacing look.
At the same time.
The other bodyguards also drew their weapons, four dark hidden weapon boxes aimed at Jay King.
If he dared to make a move, he would immediately die under a barrage of hidden weapons!
“You…”
Jay King’s actions were so sudden, they had truly startled Itai Huntington.
Looking at the bodyguards who rushed in, she asked, “How did you get here?”
Today’s negotiation with Chopter was straightforward, with both sides sitting openly in the meeting room.
Thus, she hadn’t arranged for anyone to stand guard at the door.
“Mr. Reed told us to stand guard at the door when he arrived,” Kong answered in a low voice. “As soon as there was anymotion, he instructed us to rush in!”
“Ah.”
Itai Huntington looked at Julius Reed with a peculiar expression, then gave a resigned smile.
With this setup, it was clear from the start that he had no intention of negotiating in good faith.
“Miss Huntington, what do you mean by this…” Chopter stood up, hisplexion turning somewhat darker.
Now, they were the fish on the cutting board, and he was at the mercy of others.
In Gonzalez City’s territory, even if Chopter was a scion of the Roosevelt family, he still had to yield to others!
“We mean nothing by it?”
Julius Reed stood up, hands in his pockets, smiling at Chopter: “But what about you, instructing your employee to suddenly attack me, what does that mean?”
“I…”
Chopter was left speechless.
How could he have known Jay King would strike?
And even if they knew, they wouldn’t have the guts to interfere!
Tick-tock!
In the quiet conference room, only the sound of Jay King’s blood dripping onto the floor could be heard.
“I think your bodyguard didn’t intend to harm me, he just identally damaged our conference room table, right?” Julius Reed spoke again, breaking the silence.
“Yes! Yes!”
Chopter, ecstatic, said, “Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding! We came to Gonzalez City this time to negotiate with yourpany in good faith, why would we do something like this? It must be a misunderstanding!”
Having said that.
He looked at Jay King: “Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Reed.”
At this moment, everyone’s safety was threatened, and preserving life was the top priority.
And it seemed that Jay King had not anticipated this kind of oue.
Only Itai Huntington’s face showed a sh of peculiarity.
When did Julius Reed be so easy to talk to?
That’s not like him at all!
“Misunderstanding!”
Julius Reed scratched his head, gesturing for Kong to put away the hidden weapon box: “We’re all friends here, what’s the meaning of pointing a hidden weapon box at us.”
Upon hearing his words, Kong’s face showed a moment of hesitation, but he still reluctantly put away the hidden weapon box.
At least they knew one thing for sure, Julius Reed was definitely on Miss Huntington’s side.
“Yes! Friends! We are all friends!”
Chopter, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, said with an awkwardugh.
Being at someone else’s mercy, he had no choice but to yield.
“Since we’re friends, then simplypensating for the table is enough.” Julius Reed looked at the conference table that had already been smashed, bent down, picked up an ashtray stained with blood: “And this ashtray too.”
“Deal!”
Chopter immediately took out a check from his pocket, grabbed a pen, and began to write: “It’s our fault, we should. What do you think, is one hundred thousand US dors enough?”
A conference table eight meters long, along with a very ordinary ss ashtray.
Altogether, they might not even use up ten thousand US dors.
But after all, since they were at fault first, it was better to spend money to avoid disaster.
“Mr. Chopter, I’m afraid you’re not aware of one thing.”
Julius Reed picked up the broken ashtray, gently ced it in his palm, and held it out to Chopter: “Do you know how much this ashtray is worth?”
“One hundred dors?”
Chopter said somewhat skeptically.
An ordinary ashtray, in the Americas, wouldn’t cost more than a few US dors.
How much could this worthless thing possibly be worth?
“One hundred dors?” Julius Reed’s face was full of exaggerated expressions: “My god, Mr. Chopter, this is an ashtray from the era of the Lamilid Dynasty in our Huaxia, used by King Zhou of Shang himself!”
“What!”
Chopter’s eyes widened, pointing at the broken piece of ss in Julius Reed’s hand: “Reed, don’t joke around!”
“Who’s joking with you!”
Julius Reed’s face darkened, very displeased, he said: “I treated you as friends, so I took out this priceless treasure to use! And you damaged it, but now you’re reluctant topensate?”
As he spoke, Itai Huntington almost burst outughing.
This scam was too unprofessional.
“Mr. Reed, as far as I know, during the period of the Lamilid Dynasty, Huaxia hadn’t even fully entered the Bronze Age. How could there have been a ss ashtray back then?”
Jay King sneered, pointing at the broken ashtray: “Moreover, by the time ss appeared, the Lamilid Dynasty had probably been extinct for thousands of years, right?
As a bona fide oriental, he naturally knew a bit about Huaxia’s history.
In fact, even a normal person wouldn’t believe that this ashtray was used by King Zhou of Shang!
“Look!”
Julius Reed held up his thumb, looking at Jay King with admiration: “Sir, your erudition is indeed profound. But since you mentioned it, if this object only becamemon thousands of yearster, doesn’t it underscore its significance? King Zhou had been using it more than four thousand years ago! Rarity is the essence of value.”
“You …”
Jay King pointed at Julius Reed: “To be human, don’t be too shameless!”
“Sorry, I’m just being logical.” Julius Reed shrugged, pointing at the ashtray on the table: “The ss from the era of King Zhou is valuable enough to be priceless. How about this, since we are friends, I will give you a friendly price. How does two billion US dors sound?”
