Chapter 512

“Forget it. I’m not that desperate either.”

Seeing that Natasha was unmoved, Edgar couldn’t help but laugh as he sat in his chair.

Natasha said, “Concluding this deal with me will be no loss to you. If Poly Pharmaceutical gets its hands on the Cerebral Neurotrophic Solution from Northern Biotech, it will be able to expand its business soon. I wasn’t asking for the Carter Group’s mine for free either. I will pay 800 million dollars.

This deal is nothing but beneficial to you…”

Edgar smiled and said, “I refuse!”

“Why?” Natasha asked.

Edgar casually replied, “I don’t want to do business with people related to the Mendez family. It’s that simple.”

Natasha was surprised.

Her expression changed as she sneered, “You’re so childish!”

Edgar shrugged and asked, ”Do you really think that without your help, I can’t get hold of Northern Biotech’s Cerebral Neurotrophic Solution? Aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself?”

Natasha was indifferent. She obviously thought that what Edgar said was nonsense.

“This new Cerebral Neurotrophic Solution will eventually fall into the hands of Poly Pharmaceutical. If you don’t believe it, let’s make a bet,” Edgar said with a smile.

Natasha couldn’t be bothered with him as she turned and walked towards the door.

After a few steps, Edgar said, “If I lose, I will persuade the Carter Group of Manskarta to sell their iron mine to you.”

Natasha stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.

Edgar continued to ask, “Then, what if you lose?”

His expression made Natasha feel sick, and she replied, ”I won’t lose this time!”

Edgar laughed, “Then it seems there is nothing else for me to say.”

Natasha grinned and said, “Alright, let’s bet. I’d like to see how you’ll get Northern Biotech’s Cerebral Neurotrophic Solution without my help!”

Natasha then opened the door and walked out. The chandeliers in the room shook as she slammed the door shut.

I thought that she would have adjusted her mindset. But with a little push, she’s back to her usual self…

Edgar smiled arrogantly as he lazily placed his legs on the table.

“The nickname, Gambling Monster, isn’t for nothing. No matter how powerful Northern Biotech is, it is still a semi state-owned enterprise. And since it is a semi state-owned enterprise, how can it be subjected to state intervention!”

Edgar then adjusted his posture, took out his phone and made a call.

After Natasha walked out of Poly Pharmaceutical, she made a call and said, “The deal fell through. Or to say, it’s only halfway through. I made a bet with him. He said he could get the Cerebral Neurotrophic Solution from Northern Biotech Without my help. If he fails to, he will persuade the Carter Group to sell the mine to me.”

Upon hearing this, the other party fell silent and then said, “You’re running out of chances. Make the most of it.”

Natasha’s face stiffened, then she replied coldly, “I don’t need anyone reminding me. I will manage on my own!”

She hung up the phone and sighed.

Soon, she entered a hotel and met Alder, the chairman of Northern Biotech.

“Ms. Porter, I thought you would never return to Mimar City!” Alder was surprised when he saw Natasha.

“Mr. Alder, have you decided on a partner for the new Cerebral Neurotrophic Solution that your company has developed in Neva Province?” Natasha asked with a smile.

Alder shook his head and replied, “It has to be on conditions first, but we may reveal it tonight. Do you wish to interfere?”

Natasha nodded and replied, “You can cooperate with whomever you want, but not Poly Pharmaceutical. I hope you can agree to my requirement…”

Alder felt uncomfortable as she said requirement and not request.

Maybe Natasha still had the capital to speak in that tone in the past. But now, what rights did she have to talk so arrogantly?

But at the thought of who Natasha’s current backer was, Alder sighed and said, “Don’t worry, Ms.

Porter, since you have already spoken up. As the main decision-maker, I will not give them a chance.”

Natasha continued, “Don’t just let them off easily, but severely humiliate them!”

Alder smiled and said, “Seems like the entanglement between you and Mimar City runs deep. I have never heard you make such a request before.”

“Just do as requested,” Natasha said.

After having said that, Natasha turned around and left. She felt relieved by her small victory.

After this win, her following counterattack will be harsher. She wanted to repay the humiliation that Edgar had brought her. Just like the unparalleled business war with Giradia Group in the past, Natasha seemed to have grasped the key to victory and felt that it was impossible for her to lose.

The opening of the banquet was nearing.

Edgar put on the suit that Natalie had bought for him. He never liked formal clothes as it was too restrictive and uncomfortable.

In movies, the thugs in suits looked suave when they fought. But in actual combat, they would have ripped their pants.

“Anita, how do I tie this tie? Help!” Edgar gestured for Anita to help him with his tie.

“Are you an idiot?” Anita complained but still helped him.

At this moment, Anita was wearing a gray evening dress. The slit on the left side of the skirt reached the top of her thigh. With flesh-colored stockings and a pair of beige seven centimeters high-heeled shoes, everything just complemented her figure.

Edgar hung his head down as Anita helped him with his tie. He took the opportunity to feast his eyes.

After Anita finished, she poked him in his eyes, and Edgar stepped back in shock.

“You are someone worth millions of dollars, yet you’re up to petty tricks like this all day. Can you stop being so foul?!” Anita scolded angrily.

“Since you know it’s a trick, why did you still oblige?” Edgar proudly replied as he dodged her attacks.

Seeing that Anita couldn’t hit him, Edgar said, “I will teach you this kicking method. It’s called Peeing Dog. The technique is definitely better than the name. At this point of your fight, if you kick them like this, you can end his family line and render him powerless.”

Anita felt that the technique sounded and looked terrible. But it was practical, so she prepared to try.

Just as she was about to, she stopped in time, and her guard raised.

“I’m wearing a skirt!” She sneered.

Edgar coughed and said, “It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a skirt or not. I want to constantly remind you that this is a skill of a lifetime, and you have to be prepared to learn anytime!”

Anita smiled as she reached out her right hand toward Ludwig. Edgar was ready to pull her. But Anita’s middle finger popped up, and then it was quickly retracted.

“I’ll definitely use this technique on you the next time I’m not wearing a skirt!” Anita said with gritted teeth after discovering the ulterior motives of this capitalist.
