/ World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats! Chapter 228 – The Charm of 20 Billion
“Oh? Does Ms. Jacqueline also want to raise her status and that of her family to another level?”
“Of course! I don't want to be a commoner for the rest of my life!” Then, she handed the check to the staff member and signaled him to send it over.
After seeing the amount of 1.5 billion on the check, Vice President Harold said:
“I can guarantee that Ms. Jacqueline will obtain the title of Baron within the next month!”
The fat woman named Jacqueline was so delighted that she hugged the pretty boy next to her!
“Vice President Harold! Please accept my contribution to the merchants!”
“Please also accept my check…”
“And mine!”
Harold pretended to be moved and said, “Good! Although this matter is difficult, I believe that the president will do his best! Let's create a community of nobles in Wind City and prosper together!”
“Clap… Clap… Clap…”
The magnificent speech once again attracted the applause and cheers of everyone present.
Under this man's hosting, the scene was almost like a “nobility auction”!
“Mr. Casey! Please don't misunderstand! Our president is doing all this just for the future prosperity of Water City…” Sphinx could not see Locke's reaction through his expression, so he decided to pacify him first.
In the next ten minutes, Harold had received a total of more than eight billion checks. He was overjoyed!
Just as everyone was satisfied and prepared to leave, Locke suddenly raised his hand and said, “I bid 20 billion!”
These words made everyone's eyes focus on him.
20 billion?
Did such a young man have that much money?
Everyone became curious.
“Oh? And this young friend is…?” When Harold heard “20 billion,” his eyes lit up.
He realized that he had never seen Locke before. His eyes became cautious again.
Sphinx immediately explained, “Uh… This is Mr. Casey! He's here for a vacation in Water City!”
At the same time, he kept looking at Harold.
The two of them had been partners for many years. Harold knew what the other party meant – there was no problem with this person.
20 billion was more than the number of people present! Of course, Mr. Casey had become a big client!
Harold gave the bodyguard a look and asked him to lead the rest of the attendees away.
“Okay, everyone! Please wait for our good news at home!”
These people felt that they were about to get their titles, so they could not be bothered with other matters and left the venue happily.
“Mr. Casey is really young! May I ask where he's from?” Harold smiled while maintaining caution.
Sphinx immediately told him about Casey's background.
“Oh… The ore business! Are you really going to offer 20 billion?”
“Of course!”
Locke knew that this was the other party asking him to prove his financial strength.
Locke's bank card could not be used so he took out his cell phone and dialed Dickens's number.
“Send me proof of the company's account immediately!”
Dickens did not know what it was but he did not dare to disobey Locke. After hanging up the phone, he sent the documents required via the computer.
Looking at the bank proof of the company's account which had more than 50 billion in deposit, Harold finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Belinda was shocked. 'Is he that rich? And he's a royal agent?'
Sphinx was about to say something when Locke interrupted him.
“The title I want must be Duke!”
Duke was only second to the title of the king!
This put Harold and the rest in a difficult position. They did not dare to agree immediately.
After all, in the end, the president had the final say in this matter. They were just running errands.
“Uh… Mr. Casey, I need to discuss this matter with the president. But I'm sure that the president will do his best for your contribution to the Chamber of Commerce! Please give me the check first…” Harold said.
“This won't do! I'll only give the money when I see the medal and Certificate! Otherwise, this is too unfair for me!”
Locke's words clearly caught the two men by surprise. They paused and quickly tried to persuade him.
“But… But, this is against the rules…”
“Yes! There are many people who need to be dealt with in such matters…”
“Then forget it! Thank you for the tea. Sister, let's go!”
Belinda very cooperatively hugged Locke's arm and walked out.
The two vice presidents wanted to say something to persuade them to stay, but they remembered the president's iron rule – they had to receive the money first!
Thus, they could only watch unwillingly as Locke and Belinda left.
20 billion was not a small amount!
Countless people had never seen so much money in their lives, let alone earned it!
This was because Locke had seen through the greedy nature of the two vice presidents and was testing their bottom line!
“Will this work?”
As they walked out of the door, Belinda asked in a low voice.
“Don't worry, you didn't notice the way that Harold took the check earlier. He's definitely a miser!” Locke was very confident.
“I believe you for the time being. I guess they're discussing it now, but they'll definitely investigate our background.” Belinda smiled.
“With Old Pete around, don't worry! All that's left is to wait.” After walking to the riverbank, Locke called for a boat.
After returning to the hotel, Belinda immediately reported to Captain Miles, who was hiding in the dark.
“That's great! 20 billion! Anyone would be tempted! They will definitely take the bait! Looks like I underestimated Locke before! I didn't expect it to go so smoothly! You guys continue to cooperate with the rest. You have to find out why they can sell the titles to commoners! This is a big deal! I'll immediately communicate with Secretary Peter. This mission cannot reveal any flaws! You guys continue to play your parts well. Don't let the other party suspect your identity!”
Belinda, who was wearing pajamas, looked at Locke, who was lying on the sofa eating fruits. She smiled and said, “I didn't expect you to be so capable. It's not common for our captain to praise people…”
Locke's expression was calm. This was not a difficult thing for him.
The reason was very simple. Other than being rich, he had also seen through people's hearts!
Ordinary people either relied on money or reputation in their lives.
It was precisely because of this that things would go smoothly as planned.
After stretching, Locke asked, “Did you bring a swimsuit?”
This suggestion made Belinda very happy. They were going to the beach to play!
Anyway, the captain had let them continue to play their roles well, so what was there to hesitate about?
“Hmph! Of course! It's also very sexy! I'm afraid you'll get a nosebleed!”
“What do we do?”
Harold was still sitting in the hall. Just as Locke had said, he was a miser! The thought of the 20 billion made his heart itch!
After thinking for a long time, Sphinx seemed to have made a decision in his heart. He stood up and said, “Let's go see the president! We must get the 20 billion!”
