Chapter 486 Six Hundred Million Dexterâs meeting went on for quite some time.
The other party initiated a discussion in Arnoldâs area because he thought it was a great place to have fun.
After drinking a few rounds, the other party seemed slightly tipsy. Dexter held a wineglass in one hand. He looked up with a mysterious yet devious gaze. âMr. Matton, the Landon project is at its final stage. Be honest with me. Who told you about the huge mistake in the project?â
The social engagement had been going on for a few hours, and they finally reached the most crucial question. Mr. Matton couldnât sit still and raised his hand to ask for tea.
âMr. Russell, from what youâre saying, it seems true. Is it really?â
Dexter threw his wineglass to the side nonchalantly. âLandon will still be safe in two weeks.â The certainty and confidence in his voice were unrivaled.
âIf there were no problems, you wouldnât have to sit with me here for half an hour, Mr. Russell,â Mr. Mattonâs face was flushed from the alcohol. The first six hundred million in subsidies from the executives went into Russell Groupâs account. If anything happens to Landon, Russell Group will be in trouble. If someone reveals Russell Groupâs old mistakes in the past to add fuel to the fire, it will be huge trouble.â
He stared at Dexterâs expression and saw Dexter narrowing his eyes.
âI said that nothing would happen to Landon.
âHeh..â Mr. Matton saw that Dexter was unmovable, so he couldnât quite maintain his composure. He laid his cards on the table.
âSomething is wrong with the center pillar in Southern Waveryâs business circle, and it has the risk of falling at any time.
Someone else might die if this is kept secret for another day.â
He saw that Dexterâs expression had changed slightly, so he continued. âDonât you know about this, Mr. Russell?â
Dexter still kept calm and called Larry in. Dexter spoke to Larry briefly, and the latterâs expression changed. He rushed out.
âSpeaking about it, itâs strange, I donât know how you found out about it, Mr. Matton.â Dexter lit a cigarette. and seemed to be suppressing his panic.
Mr. Matton was pleased when he saw it. âAs Russell Groupâs archenemy, I naturally have to get hold of some special information, donât I?â
Dexter took a long puff of his cigarette. âWhat do you want?â
âNot much. Just six hundred million.â
It was an exorbitant amount. Dexter looked up when he heard it with an incomprehensible expression. He smiled and repeated.
âSix hundred million?â
âCanât you bear to pay the price, Mr. Russell? If something happens, it will cost more than six hundred. million to deal with.â
Dexter seemed to be mulling. He slowly finished smoking his cigarette, and Larry returned from the outside.
Tve asked the project contractors, and itâs true. Thereâs also something wrong with the pillars at the side, not only the middle pillar.â
âAre they trustworthy?â His tone was sharp.
âThey confessed and were in tears as soon as I started talking.â
Dexter understood. He raised his glass again and poured the remaining alcohol from the bottle. He toasted Mr. Matton with a smile. âI really canât bear to buy intel with six hundred million.â
âWhat do you want, Mr. Russell?â
A countermeasure, of course. If you can advise, Mr. Matton, I will gladly pay you this six hundred million.
Mr. Mattonâs eyes flashed, and he suddenly hit his leg. âRumors say youâre clear-headed and a rare talent, Mr. Russell. But after meeting you today, you seem inferior to me!â
His laugh grew louder the more he spoke. He was very pleased with himself.
When he met Dexter, he thought Dexter had good looks and an imposing manner. Dexter seemed like he knew what to do and when to back off. But it seemed that he wasnât quite capable of dealing with difficulties!
