1335 Waiting for You to Shrink

Weston was dumbfounded upon hearing what Lucas said.

Gregory widened his mouth in shock, utterly stunned.

After a long time, Weston finally realized what Lucas was talking about, and his face instantly darkened. “Punk, how dare you talk about acquiring the Glory Group in front of me? You’re really brazen! Are you trying to piss me off by cracking such a joke with me?!”

He stared at Lucas gloomily and narrowed his eyes threateningly.

He had painstakingly built Glory Group from scratch, and now that he had finally developed it to such a scale, holding a leading position and almost monopolizing more than half of the building materials market in DC, he wasn’t going to let anyone take it away from him easily!

What Lucas said almost made him lose his temper right on the spot.

But Lucas didn’t seem to notice his gloomy expression and even said with a smile, “Do you think I’m joking with you?”

Weston had no idea who Lucas was and didn’t care to find out his intentions. He simply hollered furiously, “The Glory Group is my life’s work. How dare you come here and say that you want to acquire my company? Hurry up and get lost, or else don’t blame me for being nasty!”

Lucas remained calm and said indifferently, “Seven billion dollars.”

This was the price he offered.

After hearing the amount, Weston snorted coldly with an extremely terrifying expression.

The Glory Group was a massive corporation worth at least 30 billion dollars. In fact, even if someone really offered to acquire the Glory Group for 30 billion dollars, he wouldn’t agree.

This young punk actually offered merely 7 billion dollars. He must be dreaming!

Weston was completely angry at this point. “Punk, you must be tired of living. Did you come here to court death? You want to acquire the Glory Group for just seven billion dollars? Hah, you’d better go home and keep dreaming!

“Immediately kneel and apologize to me. Maybe I’ll forgive. Otherwise, hah!”

Lucas smiled and continued, “Six billion dollars then.”

He seemed to be bargaining, but his new offer was a billion dollars less than his previous offer!

Weston was furious. He stood up from the spa, grabbed a towel, and tied it around his waist. Staring at Lucas, he sneered. “Punk, you must be tired of living. Did you come here to annoy me? Do you believe that I can make you die here with a single call?”

Gregory shook his head with a contemptuous smile. “This is my first time meeting someone with a burning death wish. Punk, Weston is not someone you can mess with. You’d better leave quickly, lest you anger him further.”

Seemingly not afraid of death at all, Lucas said again, “Five billion dollars.”

Weston was completely enraged. He pulled out a pistol from the pile of his clothes beside him and pointed it at Lucas’s head “Punk, since you want to die, I’ll grant you your wish!”

Lucas glanced coldly at the gun in front of him without any change in expression.

“It seems you’re not interested in discussing the acquisition with me properly. In that case, I’ll discuss it with you another day, Mr. Barlowe. I hope you can continue being so stubborn after the market value of the Glory Group plunges.”

With that, Lucas turned around and left without any fear or worry at all.

Weston aimed his gun at Lucas’s back for a long time. Only after Lucas left and the door of the private room closed again did he bark, “That ignorant punk! How dare he curse my company’s market value to plunge?! The next time I see him, I won’t be kind to him!”

He thought that Lucas was scared away by the pistol he was holding.

Next to him, Gregory stood up from the spa and said with a smile, “Weston, did you really want to shoot and kill that punk just now?”

Weston smiled and casually tossed his ‘pistol’ to Gregory.

Gregory subconsciously caught it and fiddled with it for a bit before realizing that it didn’t weigh much and was actually just a replica. He pulled the trigger, and a small flame sprang out of the muzzle. It turned out to be a pistol-shaped lighter.

Gregory laughed., “Geez, I thought it was the real thing. It turns out it’s just a toy you used to scare that punk.”

Then he looked at Weston and suddenly stopped smiling. He said seriously, “Weston, we’ve been friends for years. Tell me honestly. Are the ones who promised to give you benefits to cut off the cooperation with the Stardust Corporation those Hamiltons? The royal family branch?”

Weston knew that he couldn’t conceal this matter anymore. Now that Gregory had heard it and explicitly asked him about it, he would really be a bad friend if he still hid it and lied about it.

Thinking of this, Weston nodded in admittance and hurriedly said, “You must keep this a secret for me. The Hamiltons don’t want this matter to spread. If the Hamiltons find out I gave it away, not just mine, but even your family will be implicated!”

Gregory was shocked and frantically said, “Rest assured. I won’t tell anyone about this! But since you’re being so secretive about it, how did that punk find out?”

Weston narrowed his eyes. “Yeah, I also want to know how that punk found out. But I hope he can be more sensible. If he dares to provoke me again, I definitely won’t let him off!”

After Lucas left World Entertainment City, he immediately made a call. “Find a way to make the stock price of the Glory Group plunge. When the market opens tomorrow, I want to see the market value of the Glory Group shrink drastically.”

“Yes!” the person on the other end answered immediately without asking anything.

…

The following day, Weston arrived at the chairman’s office in the Glory Group.

Soon after he sat down, Gregory came to his office.

The two of them had been friends for years, and their companies were cooperating recently, so they were in frequent contact with each other.

“Weston, you’ve already terminated the supply of building materials to the Stardust Corporation. How much longer do you think the Stardust City project can last?” Gregory asked with a smile.

Weston smiled confidently. “Haha, without any building materials, I bet the Stardust City project will flop in a few days!”
