Of course, a government agency like theirs isn't a charity, so they couldn't work for free. But the Morgan family offered a high price: they would pay an additional 7% tax on top of the original amount after acquiring the street. This increase was very tempting to Chicago officials. In this generally depressed economic climate, it was practically a free achievement!
Therefore, the Chicago city government was very upset about this matter because they had been negotiating with the Duanmu family repeatedly but could not reach an agreement. Price was certainly one reason, but the most important reason was that Duanmu Ci did not want to settle things so soon. He wanted to delay and push the timing to a suitable point before making a move.
Just like two players in a game, they always accumulate rage points so they can unleash a powerful move to knock out the opponent.
themagnificentè¿·le, this bustling commercial street is one of Duanmu Ci's big moves...
The old butler's cheerful voice rang out, "Yes, sir. Actually, I've almost finished negotiating with them. We've already gotten a great deal on the price. It seems the Morgan family is really eager to expand their business; they seem a bit impatient."
"Really? So urgent? That's not good. What if they get sick from being in such a hurry?" Duanmu Ci said understandingly. "It's only natural for the people of Junzi City to agree on the price you agreed on. If they want it so badly, we'll give it to them... I'm just worried they might not be able to keep it."
"They definitely can't catch it," the old butler said meaningfully.
For example, Duanmu Ci had a family heirloom sword. Morgan saw it and wanted it, so Duanmu Ci gave it to him. However, the way he gave it to him was a bit unusual; he handed the sword to Morgan with the blade pointing towards him. So, if Morgan wanted to catch the sword, he had to grip the blade.
Although he obtained the sword, his hand holding it was covered in blood.
Back in Haishan, Duanmu Ci once said that he wanted to cut off two dirty hands. Now that one of those dirty hands has been cut off, there's no reason why the other one shouldn't be spared either.
After Duanmu Ci hung up the phone, Wei Yue seemed to realize something, "Where's the scabbard?"
A peerless sword, of course, cannot consist of only a sword; it should also have a scabbard. However, it seems that the person handed over the sword forgot this detail...
The two looked at each other and smiled.
In the afternoon, Duanmu Ci had a video call with the members of the Longevity Society. At the students' enthusiastic request, the teacher reluctantly agreed to bring each member a travel souvenir...
There will be many people in the Longevity Society...
However, Duanmu Ci immediately shifted the blame to Wei Yue, claiming he didn't have time. This wasn't just an excuse; he genuinely didn't have time.
He still has some things to take care of.
At 6:00 p.m. sharp, Duanmu Ci boarded the plane bound for Monaco.
That place was not only the headquarters of the Rare Club, but also a battleground between the Duanmu and Morgan families.
War was imminent, but Duanmu Ci felt that it was just a game whose outcome was already decided.
That's all.
