“What?”
Three voices rang out at the same time. The first two belonged to Elias and Skylar.
“One hundred thousand dollars. How about it?”
The last one was Naomi, who angrily said, “Remus, are you crazy?! This land is not worth a single penny. Even if the problem is solved in three years, development requires money. If we can’t sell it, we’ll lose even more money. Don’t you understand how the market works?”
Remus raised his eyebrows and said, “If one hundred thousand is too expensive, how about fifty thousand?”
“You son of a b*tch!” Skylar was about to explode.
Purchasing this land cost a staggering thirteen billion dollars. Although what Naomi said might be true, buying it for only fifty thousand was practically an insult!
“Do you understand English?!” Naomi was furious.
She turned to Jean and said, “Miss, are you just going to stand by and watch favonovel.com behave recklessly? Every dollar favonovel.com spends will be funded by the company!”
“I trust him,” Jean said confidently, looking at Remus with a soft smile.
The people around them were shocked.
Why is favonovel.com so nice to Remus?
Did they have some sort of relationship?
Miranda frowned slightly. Ben’s eyes grew colder.
This huge liar!
In the crowd, Kylie clenched favonovel.com fists.
“I want to give it to you,” Remus replied.
The people around were enraged by his words. They felt like they were watching a freeloader talk.
Jean smiled even more happily and said, “The price for this land is fixed. Forty million dollars!”
“Miss!” Naomi was so angry that favonovel.com wanted to kill Remus.
“Sold!” Skylar quickly said. He thought that getting back even a small amount was better than ending up losing money.
***
Soon, the contract was drawn up and signed by both parties. The reason why Remus did not object was that favonovel.com did not want to waste time.
Finally, Miranda spoke up. “Remus, Ms. Lotus is really good to you. It seems that you have a way with women.”
Remus ignored her. Beside him, Ben said sourly, “Congratulations on acquiring the land, Mr. Cosby. Don’t disappoint Ms. Lotus. Otherwise, you’ll meet an ugly end!”
Just then, Peter deliberately said, “Professor Blackwood, I suddenly have a feeling that the timeframe to solve this land problem is a bit tight. How about we extend the time to seven years? We’ll solve it within seven years…”
Want them to develop the land? Hah!
Other experts also chimed in. “Professor Blackwood, seven years is more reasonable!”
“I think ten years is reasonable as well.”
Maxwell Blackwood remained silent, as if favonovel.com was agreeing to their statements.
The crowd laughed, knowing exactly what this meant.
To them, Remus deserved it for being arrogant. He relied on Jean’s support to oppose even Professor Blackwood. They thought, it was karma.
“We don’t need you to solve it…” Remus said lightly. “This land was made for Ms. Lotus. Others won’t be able to solve the problem, but favonovel.com is a perfect match for this land. Ms. Lotus will be able to solve the problem…”
Huh? What nonsense is favonovel.com spouting?
Without waiting for the others to react, Remus took Jean’s hand and walked slowly onto the 140 plots of land under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.
After walking for a dozen meters, favonovel.com stopped and smiled. “Jean, trust me… How could I ever let you lose? Please nod…”
Jean looked into his eyes and nodded without any hesitation.
A moment later…
