"Is that good enough?"The middle-aged man next to Johnson said with a frown.However, the five men and women were still silent."I'll add one more."I’ll reduce taxes by half in the first two years."Johnson was silent for a few seconds before offering again.Several people widened their eyes again.A 50% cut in tax was a good deal.After all, these conglomerates pay hundreds of millions in taxes every year.A 50% cut meant 50 million dollars.They could do a lot of things with 50 million dollars.They were therefore excited."Give me some time, Mr. Dane."I'll go back and discuss it with the shareholders."I'll give you an answer right away."A middle-aged man immediately got up and said to Johnson."Yes, we're going back to hold a meeting too!"Others also rose to their feet.Johnson's two offers were too tempting for them to refuse!"You want me to waste my time waiting for your reply?"Besides, you can't guarantee 100% satisfaction after I've wasted my time wai
One of the middle-aged men could not help but let out a long sigh.They could only suffer in silence.However, Johnson did not care about their difficulties.All Johnson cared about was whether the answer was satisfactory to him and would give him an explanation to the public."Why are you causing a scene if you can't do it?"Why are you causing trouble if you can't handle it?"Why are you rushing to go after Billion Trees Real Estate before me?"Now that we have this mess, what do you think we should do?"Johnson's tone was cold.If no one took over Billion Trees Real Estate, no one would take over the unfinished buildings and workers' delayed wages.They would have their hands full from the unit owners and workers causing trouble and complaining to the authorities.Therefore, Johnson must resolve the matter as quickly as possible."Go on!"Why ruin it when you can't bear the consequences?"Johnson looked at the crowd and spoke sternly.This time, the five middle-aged m
Johnson was upset that Sean showed up uninvited.The five top big shots of Joules Town's real estate industry looked at Sean with complicated looks in their eyes.They had no idea how they should treat Sean.However, since they saw that Sean was not here for them, they chose to keep quiet."What is it?"Johnson asked with a frown, looking at the tabletop."Just have a look."It should be able to please you."Sean picked up a bottle of mineral water and unscrewed the cap.Johnson thought Sean would treat him with respect and courtesy.However, he did not expect Sean to have such an attitude.He was not as humble as other company owners had been to Johnson.It even gave Johnson the illusion that he was Sean's subordinate."Mr. Dane, you'd better have a look first."Zane reached for the document before spreading it out and placing it in front of Johnson.Johnson still looked unconcerned.He did not think Sean could come up with anything that would please him.However, Joh
"You!"Johnson instantly froze when he heard Sean's words.He just found Sean too arrogant.Sean was so conceited!How could Billion Trees Real Estate's affairs be solved so easily?If it were that easy, Jimmy would not be sitting in jail right now!The five big shots of the business circle froze and were also disdainful.Sean was too young and had no idea how serious Billion Trees Real Estate's matters were.The more arrogant he was now, the more embarrassing he was later."Don't get ahead of yourself."Johnson said indifferently after a few seconds of silence."It doesn't matter what I say."Just remember what you said, Mr. Dane."Sean tapped on the desk, reminding Johnson."I, Johnson Dane, keep my word."If you deliver something that satisfies me, I will fulfill my conditions."I can also give you a three-month extension on the taxes Billion Trees Real Estate owes. Besides that, I won't charge you any overdue fines."Johnson was an honest man. He added another cond
"What's the matter? Are you trying to lecture me?"Sean shook his head slightly before locking eyes with the middle-aged man."Hmph! I admit that Lennon Real Estate's quite capable."But it's not as simple as you think, Mr. Lennon."Having friends opens doors while having fewer friends closes doors. You should know that, Mr. Lennon."The middle-aged man was silent for two seconds, his tone also upset."Do you deserve to be my friend?"Sean's answer was simple and unceremonious.Zane was in between laughter and tears on the sidelines.He realized Sean did not have the smooth sophistication that a businessman should have.On the contrary, he was rigid and spoke without any mercy.Sean was more of a gangster than a businessman.However, Zane had to admit that he preferred Sean's straightforwardness to phony politeness."Fine! Let's see how Mr. Lennon's going to figure it out."The three snorted coldly before turning away.They tried to get closer to Sean, but it ended badly
"I'm flattered, Mr. Curley."Sean said with a smile as he waved his hands slightly."No, not at all."Did you take Mr. Dane into account today?"You've got Billion Trees Real Estate's shares, but you weren't in a hurry to show up. You made Mr. Dane call a meeting."Then you showed up with your shares when Mr. Dane made an offer he’s happy with..."Zane looked at Sean and spoke quickly."No, it was an accident."I didn't plot against Mr. Dane."Sean smiled and replied while waving his hands.However, despite Sean's retorts, Zane still found Sean's smile meaningful."No, you did."Zane paused but remained firm in his speculation."Whatever you say, Mr. Curley."Sean stopped replying and only nodded gently."You... You..."Zane pointed at Sean, trying to say something but nothing came out.Ever since he met Sean, he had noticed that Sean seemed to take control of everything.Whatever happened was under Sean's control.It did not seem to have anything to do with Sean at
Therefore, Johnson and the rest waited.They wanted to see if Sean had any good ideas about how to solve these problems.Johnson's attitude aside, the big shots of the business circle alone did not believe in Sean.Even they felt helpless when they had been in Joules Town for years.Sean was so young. Where did he get the confidence to fix this?Therefore, many people were waiting to see Lennon Real Estate make a fool of itself.Even the top companies were ready to acquire Lennon Real Estate.Because Lennon Real Estate would be affected if Sean failed. It would also be settled the same way as Billion Trees Real Estate.These giant companies would be ready to take over, of course.At the same time.Joules Town Collins Residence."Ridiculous. How ridiculous!"I told you he can't go any further."Old Master Collins shook his head after hearing Hubert's report."What do you mean, Old Master?"Hubert was confused.He was only filling William in on what happened today.Howev
The tycoons in Joules Town's business circle were frantic.Nor have the lives of many ordinary people in Joules Town been calm for two days.The collapse of Billion Trees Real Estate was final.Besides that, word of its end had already got out.Billion Trees Real Estate had been in Joules Town for years.They had dozens of properties.Most of them had been completed, but there were still three buildings in construction.Two of the buildings were half a year behind the completion date stated on the contracts.In short, Billion Trees Real Estate was closely related to many people.It was a big company with hundreds and even thousands of employees.There was also the issue of workers' wages and late delivery to unit owners.Apart from issues like taxes and those related to the government aside, these issues alone were enough to have one's hands full.However, the unit owners got more nervous when the news about Billion Trees Real Estate's shareholder change and its chairman's
"Even if you haven't stepped into the legendary Transcendence Realm yet, you're already capable enough to overpower most martial artists! Mr. Lennon, you've possessed such strength at your age. You'll surely enter that legendary realm one day!" Adam exclaimed.He had practiced diligently day after day for decades, yet he was only a Beginner Great Grandmaster. Even so, he was one of the most talented martial artists among several generations of Greendom Chapel members. However, that talent was as different as night and day compared to Sean.Sean was now only in his 20s, yet he already possessed the strength to rival the supreme priest who had passed away.There were no other people as strong as Sean in the entire Dragon Kingdom."Alright, stop flattering me. I'll have someone transfer 500 million to you later. You can use it to improve Greendom Chapel's current situation. When the time comes, I'll accompany you to meet that man from Melode Cathedral," Sean said with a smile as he sh
"Mr. Lennon, you also know how strong that old priest is. We Catholics only have the supreme priest who could rival him. Now that the supreme priest has passed away, that old priest has become even more arrogant..." Sean nodded slightly and sighed before expressing his regret. "It's a pity about the supreme priest.""Human life has its limitations. The path of martial arts is long and arduous. Few people in history have been able to reach the legendary Transcendence Realm." Adam sighed as well. He had already reached Great Grandmaster Realm that countless martial artists dreamed of. Even so, there were opponents he could not defeat and problems he could not solve."Mr. Lennon, since you're willing to leave that calligraphy in Greendom Chapel, you must have some history with Greendom Chapel. I wonder if you can tell me," Adam finally said after a moment of silence.Adam was the former chaplain of Greendom Chapel, but he had gone into seclusion to further advance himself after stepp
A Christian refers to a follower of Jesus Christ who might be a Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, or follower of another branch of the religion. A Catholic was a Christian who followed the Catholic religion transmitted through the succession of Popes, who were leaders of the Catholic church. Thus, All Roman Catholics were Christian, but not all Christians were Roman Catholic. The difference in beliefs had put the two in conflict."Could it be that their conflict has reignited? Didn't a Catholic priest warn those donkeys?" Sean asked with a frown.Adam nodded slightly and sighed before slowly replying, "It's just as you said. After the passing of Tiger Mountain's supreme priest, Christians often gave us Catholics a hard time. Now, not only are chaplains from all over Dragon Kingdom affected, but even Greendom Chapel has gotten into this situation."Most chaplains and churches relied on donations from their followers for their income. Once they lost this source of income, chaplains and
Meanwhile, a daunting aura rose from the old chaplain.The Brown brothers’ expressions instantly changed, even being forced back three steps by the pressure from the old chaplain before barely stopping.Willow's eyes filled with panic. She felt like she had encountered a mortal enemy and had her life on the line.Sean's gaze focused before he immediately reached out to hold Willow."Cut that intimidating aura out. Who are you trying to scare?" Sean snapped as he looked at the old chaplain.However, the old chaplain's kind demeanor changed. He stared solemnly at Sean and asked, "I'm asking who you are.""Who am I? Is my calligraphy in Greendom Chapel gone?" Sean replied indifferently.The old chaplain froze in place as if struck by lightning."What? The old chaplain is from Greendom Chapel? How is that possible… Greendom Chapel is a nationally renowned holy place. H-How could one of their chaplains be selling counterfeit goods here?" Willow exclaimed. Her hands covered her mouth
The smile on the old chaplain's face instantly froze. He looked awkwardly at Sean and stammered, "L-Look at my age. How could I engage in deceitful acts? God... I've lived a righteous life. I didn't expect to be so misunderstood in my twilight years..."Seeing the old chaplain's pitiful expression, Willow could not help but feel sorry for him.However, Sean looked disdainfully at the old chaplain before saying with a smile, "Sir, perhaps being an actor suits you better than being a chaplain."The old chaplain's acting skills were impeccable. He might even win a prize if he attended some award ceremony. With his white beard and the slightly worn-out robe that had turned somewhat faded, others might indeed mistake Sean for misunderstanding the old chaplain."Sir, you can't say such things! I've lived an honest life. You can't just tarnish my reputation!" The old chaplain pleaded earnestly, looking at Sean.Ignoring the old chaplain, Sean picked up a vase from the stall before him. W
Sean glanced at Elton and Bernie beside him and said with a smile. Elton and Bernie scratched their heads awkwardly and beamed. "After we finish browsing Antiques Street, let's head to the new company office together and get acquainted with it. At least we won't end up not knowing where our company is in the future."Daniel and his brothers immediately nodded.Then, the group continued to stroll through Antiques Street. However, Antiques Street had been around for so many years, and each stall was run by shrewd peddlers, who made it increasingly difficult to find hidden treasures.Even with Sean's keen eye, he had not come across a genuine antique after strolling through Antiques Street for so long. All he saw were counterfeit antiques that looked authentic.After another ten minutes or so, Sean suddenly stopped in his tracks.Not far away, an old man with white hair in a black robe opened up a large bag of items and placed the items on the ground. He then took out a small sto
Willow held Sean's arm, her face filled with happiness.Sean scanned the surroundings of the street stalls with a smile, searching for genuine antiques. The Brown brothers quietly followed Sean. With the Brown brothers standing behind Sean like bodyguards, the street peddlers who had heard about suckers in Antiques Street were now hesitant to make any sudden moves."Mr. Lennon, I heard this place is full of scammers. You wouldn't want to ruin your reputation here," Daniel reminded with a chuckle.Sean glanced at him and replied flatly, "Come on. Would my reputation be ruined in such a small place? Check out the two little trinkets Willow bought for only 500 dollars. If we auction them off, I can make at least 20 million dollars!"Daniel and his brothers paused and turned to look at the hairpin and the ring Willow was holding.Seeing the three men interested in the items, Willow stopped and handed the hairpin and ring to Daniel. "Feel free to take a look."Since they were Sean's
It was normal to pay others for their service. Sean only gave them 10 thousand dollars when he had made 20 million dollars a while ago. Ten thousand was just a drop in the bucket. Daniel and his brothers swiftly made their way through Antiques Street, soon spotting Sean and Willow. Sensing someone approaching, Sean immediately turned around to look. Sean smiled when he saw the Brown brothers."Mr. Lennon! Mrs. Lennon!" Daniel and his brothers greeted respectfully when they arrived before Sean and Willow. Willow felt slightly embarrassed at being called "Mrs. Lennon" and only nodded slightly before looking elsewhere. Sean nodded with a smile. Fortunately, this part of Antiques Street was relatively isolated with few people around. Otherwise, Daniel and his brothers' sudden appearance would attract attention."Mr. Lennon, you spotted us from so far away. Your abilities are admirable!" Daniel lamented.Sean shook his head with a smile and said flatly, "Martial arts is all a
"Don't be offended. Mr. Lennon also instructed us to watch over these three guys here," Bobby answered with a smile, not mentioning that they were hired earlier to mess with Sean for 3 thousand dollars.The four men standing before them were burly and not easy to mess with. Bobby would not foolishly tell them he had tried to trouble Sean."Is that so? How can we be sure you're not associated with these two?" Daniel asked hostilely as he raised his eyebrows skeptically.Bobby and his henchmen's expressions immediately changed, fear evident in their eyes. Bobby quickly pulled out his phone, showed the transaction record of Sean's payment, and said, "Look, look! This is the record of the money Mr. Lennon just wired me!"Zander glanced at it, confirming the identities of the three men in front of him as the same ones Sean had mentioned on the phone."I'll take these two back to the company. You three can find Mr. Lennon and help him out with any troubles," Zander said solemnly.Dan
