Chapter 486 Six Hundred Million
Dexter’s meeting went on for quite some time.
The other party initiated a discussion in Arnold’s area because he thought it was a great
place to have fun.
After drinking a few rounds, the other party seemed slightly tipsy. Dexter held a wineglass
in one hand. He looked up with a mysterious yet devious gaze. “Mr. Matton, the Landon
project is at its final stage. Be honest with me. Who told you about the huge mistake in the
project?”
The social engagement had been going on for a few hours, and they finally reached the
most crucial question. Mr. Matton couldn’t sit still and raised his hand to ask for tea.
“Mr. Russell, from what you’re saying, it seems true. Is it really?”
Dexter threw his wineglass to the side nonchalantly. “Landon will still be safe in two
weeks.” The certainty and confidence in his voice were unrivaled.
“If there were no problems, you wouldn’t have to sit with me here for half an hour, Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRussell,” Mr. Matton’s face was flushed from the alcohol. The first six hundred million in
subsidies from the executives went into Russell Group’s account. If anything happens to
Landon, Russell Group will be in trouble. If someone reveals Russell Group’s old mistakes
in the past to add fuel to the fire, it will be huge trouble.”
He stared at Dexter’s expression and saw Dexter narrowing his eyes.
“I said that nothing would happen to Landon.
“Heh..” Mr. Matton saw that Dexter was unmovable, so he couldn’t quite maintain his
composure. He laid his cards on the table. “Something is wrong with the center pillar in
Southern Wavery’s business circle, and it has the risk of falling at any time. Someone else
might die if this is kept secret for another day.”
He saw that Dexter’s expression had changed slightly, so he continued. “Don’t you know
about this, Mr. Russell?”
Dexter still kept calm and called Larry in. Dexter spoke to Larry briefly, and the latter’s
expression changed. He rushed out.
“Speaking about it, it’s strange, I don’t know how you found out about it, Mr. Matton.”
Dexter lit a cigarette. and seemed to be suppressing his panic.
Mr. Matton was pleased when he saw it. “As Russell Group’s archenemy, I naturally have to
get hold of some special information, don’t I?”
Dexter took a long puff of his cigarette. “What do you want?”
“Not much. Just six hundred million.”
It was an exorbitant amount. Dexter looked up when he heard it with an incomprehensible
expression. He smiled and repeated. “Six hundred million?”
“Can’t you bear to pay the price, Mr. Russell? If something happens, it will cost more than
six hundred. million to deal with.”
Dexter seemed to be mulling. He slowly finished smoking his cigarette, and Larry returned
from the
outside.
Tve asked the project contractors, and it’s true. There’s also something wrong with the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpillars at the side, not only the middle pillar.”
“Are they trustworthy?” His tone was sharp.
“They confessed and were in tears as soon as I started talking.”
Dexter understood. He raised his glass again and poured the remaining alcohol from the
bottle. He toasted Mr. Matton with a smile. “I really can’t bear to buy intel with six hundred
million.”
“What do you want, Mr. Russell?”
A countermeasure, of course. If you can advise, Mr. Matton, I will gladly pay you this six
hundred million.
Mr. Matton’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly hit his leg. “Rumors say you’re clear-headed
and a rare talent, Mr. Russell. But after meeting you today, you seem inferior to me!”
His laugh grew louder the more he spoke. He was very pleased with himself.
When he met Dexter, he thought Dexter had good looks and an imposing manner. Dexter
seemed like he knew what to do and when to back off. But it seemed that he wasn’t quite
capable of dealing with difficulties!
