Chapter 1335 - 1335 Waiting for You to Shrink
The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray
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. âPunk, how dare you talk about acquiring the Glory Group in front of me? Youâre really brazen! Are you trying to piss me off by cracking such a joke with me?!â
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 wasnât going to let anyone take it away from him easily!
What Lucas said almost made him lose his temper right on the spot. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But Lucas didnât seem to notice his gloomy expression and even said with a smile, âDo you think Iâm joking with you?â
Weston had no idea who Lucas was and didnât care to find out his intentions. He simply hollered furiously, âThe Glory Group is my lifeâs work. How dare you come here and say that you want to acquire my company? Hurry up and get lost, or else donât blame me for being nasty!â
Lucas remained calm and said indifferently, âSeven billion dollars.â
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 wouldnât agree.
This young punk actually offered merely 7 billion dollars. He must be dreaming!
Weston was completely angry at this point. âPunk, 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, youâd better go home and keep dreaming!
âImmediately kneel and apologize to me. Maybe Iâll forgive. Otherwise, hah!â
Lucas smiled and continued, âSix billion dollars then.â
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. âPunk, 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?â
Gregory shook his head with a contemptuous smile. âThis is my first time meeting someone with a burning death wish. Punk, Weston is not someone you can mess with. Youâd better leave quickly, lest you anger him further.â
Seemingly not afraid of death at all, Lucas said again, âFive billion dollars.â
Weston was completely enraged. He pulled out a pistol from the pile of his clothes beside him and pointed it at Lucasâs head âPunk, since you want to die, Iâll grant you your wish!â
Lucas glanced coldly at the gun in front of him without any change in expression.
âIt seems youâre not interested in discussing the acquisition with me properly. In that case, Iâll 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.â
With that, Lucas turned around and left without any fear or worry at all.
Weston aimed his gun at Lucasâs back for a long time. Only after Lucas left and the door of the private room closed again did he bark, âThat ignorant punk! How dare he curse my companyâs market value to plunge?! The next time I see him, I wonât be kind to him!â
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, âWeston, did you really want to shoot and kill that punk just now?â
Weston smiled and casually tossed his âpistolâ to Gregory.
Gregory subconsciously caught it and fiddled with it for a bit before realizing that it didnât 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., âGeez, I thought it was the real thing. It turns out itâs just a toy you used to scare that punk.â
Then he looked at Weston and suddenly stopped smiling. He said seriously, âWeston, weâve 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?â
Weston knew that he couldnât 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, âYou must keep this a secret for me. The Hamiltons donât want this matter to spread. If the Hamiltons find out I gave it away, not just mine, but even your family will be implicated!â
Gregory was shocked and frantically said, âRest assured. I wonât tell anyone about this! But since youâre being so secretive about it, how did that punk find out?â
Weston narrowed his eyes. âYeah, 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 wonât let him off!â
After Lucas left World Entertainment City, he immediately made a call. âFind 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.â
âYes!â the person on the other end answered immediately without asking anything.
â¦
The following day, Weston arrived at the chairmanâs 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.
âWeston, youâve already terminated the supply of building materials to the Stardust Corporation. How much longer do you think the Stardust City project can last?â Gregory asked with a smile.
Weston smiled confidently. âHaha, without any building materials, I bet the Stardust City project will flop in a few days!â
