58 Deal (2/2)
”I want one million,” Wuxing demanded while raising one of his fingers. When Shadow heard it, he almost choked, not able to hold back his laughter.
”What? You want one million?” Guan Dong was also confused, finding it quite ridiculous.
”Yes, one million in cash, United Nations Confederation currency. Delivered here to the prison.” Wuxing confirmed, to which he heard laughter from Guan Dong who called out hurriedly, ”Haha, deal! One million for leaving my daughter alone? Easy! I will get Shadow to deliver it to you as soon as possible.”
Hearing the quick agreement, Wuxing added, ”The bills have to be untraceable. If I find anything on them, the deal is off.” But even with that, Guan Dong replied happily, ”No problem! They will be all clean.”
It wasn't a surprise that Guan Dong was happy with such a deal. For him, pulling out a million UNC Dollars was as easy as taking a piss. He earned this much in less than an hour so it would be actually more shocking if he didn't find that funny. To get rid of such a problem for one million was a great bargain.
”Alright. Let me tell you the details then. I'm not going to leave Dongmei right away. I need to spend a few more days with her and make her dislike me. This way, I won't hurt her this much when I disappear. She is a great lad so I don't want to hurt her. Is that okay?” Wuxing asked, moving on to his next part of the plan. So far everything is working just as he wanted. He couldn't help but chuckle in his mind, knowing that they were getting played.
”Mhmm, It's okay. Make her understand that she made a mistake. Also, you are not supposed to do anything funny with her. No fucking or I will kill you.” Guan Dong quite liked that plan, but still warned Wuxing to keep his member in check.
Wuxing nodded, agreeing with a pleased smile, ”No problem. About my departure from prison, I want everything to be legal. The Chief Warden already asked for a lawyer to come in the next ship to meet with me and clear my name. It would be best if he had some assistance so I would be cleared of all charges faster.” There was always Shadow sitting in the room so he had to keep the appearances.
”Shadow will fix that. I will call the right judge and it will be settled right away. Anything else?” Guan Dong was already internally excited, happy that he was right about Wuxing's personality.
He knew that it wouldn't be hard to convince him and that Wuxing was just an opportunist. Guan Dong couldn't wait to tell his wife that he was right and listen to her apology.
”I don't think so. If I need anything else, I will contact Mr Guan through the help of the gentleman in black. I'm passing the phone back.” Wuxing declined, thinking everything was just right and threw the phone over towards Shadow without waiting for the reply back.
Of course, Guan Dong didn't mind it anymore, knowing the transaction was over and began talking with Shadow, explaining the details while passing the orders. Wuxing in the meantime continued eating his fish which already cooled down a bit.
”Got it, Boss.” Shadow didn't talk for long as he only accepted the mission orders and ended the call before looking at Wuxing who was calmly eating without any disturbance on his face.
Something was telling him that Wuxing was just pretending but he didn't have any proof for that. For him, the whole situation looked too sketchy as he already figured out that Wuxing wasn't dumb. With the way he acted and talked, Wuxing definitely was a scheming person that Shadow was already used to seeing.
Looking at Wuxing, Shadow stood up and couldn't help but ask, ”Why only one million? You could have taken much, much more from him. Do you know how much money Mr Guan has? It's hard to even count. One million for him is probably like a hundred dollars for us, normal people. I would definitely take at least one hundred million…”
Wuxing didn't mind explaining so he said while eating, ”I don't need much to start a new life. One million should be enough to cover my expenses at the start. Cash is rare these days as everyone is using cards or chips. I can easily carry and spend one million in cash but if I were to receive large amounts to my bank account, it would leave a noticeable trace that could later lead to me.”
”Smart. At least you know you can't keep our Miss. Mr Guan already found someone to be her husband so it would be hard for him to change his mind. The competition is too strong for you. Unless you reach General rank in Seven Stars Special Forces, there is no way you will catch Mr Guan eyes. Good luck with that.” Shadow praised and surprisingly went out of his way to leak some information about his boss.
When he talked about the guy Guan Dong chose for her daughter, Shadow frowned and Wuxing easily caught that. It seemed like he had some chance after all but still decided to proceed with his current plan which suited him much more.
”Thanks for the info.” Wuxing nodded at him to which Shadow replied with the same, before muttering while leaving through the balcony, ”I will bring the money in two days.”
'Hmm, General rank, huh? I guess I will have to figure out a way to climb even faster this time…' Wuxing said in his mind, trying to think of a good method to reach earn contribution points faster, but couldn't figure out anything possible. There was only one idea he could think of, but it was definitely one of the most impossible ones, forcing him to leave it aside for now.
Finishing the fish, Wuxing relaxed, leaning with his head on the sofa, knowing that these were the last moments of his vacation. He would be very busy in the near future.
Closing his eyes, he muttered, ”The show is about to start…”
