650 Holding Back A Curse (1/2)

”Minister Naka, we can skip the small talk. My wife's survival is uncertain right now. I urgently need to borrow a unit from your army troop.” Lu Tingxiao looked stony as always, but upon closer inspection, you would notice a terrifying undercurrent in his eyes.

”Well...Mr. Lu, I think you are all well too aware that the current war situation in America is tense. If you want a troop...” Minister Naka looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.

”What do you mean, Minister Naka?” Lu Tingxiao looked meaningfully towards the elder.

”Mr. Lu, America currently has a few more important investments at hand and these investments are related to the military. So, Mr. Lu, if...you are willing to invest, I think it won't be too much of a problem to immediately organize a troop for you. I'm just wondering what you think about it?” Minister Naka said this as he evaluated Lu Tingxiao's attitude evenly.

Cheng Feng's eyebrows flew up. Minister Naka was obviously taking advantage of the situation!

Lu Tingxiao looked at Minister Naka and said sharply, ”Minister Naka, I don't have the mood to discuss business with you right now.”

”Well...then it won't be easy to settle this. It might take some time to mobilize a troop...” Minister Naka said, intentionally looking troubled.

”Okay.” Lu Tingxiao nodded.

When he heard this, Minister Naka was instantly overjoyed, immediately concluding that he would get a fresh flow of funds. However, what Lu Tingxiao said next changed Minister Naka's entire expression.

”If that's the case, then we'll remove all investments of Lu Corporation in America, then perhaps we'll look for other investments in Country M,” Lu Tingxiao finished without giving Minister Naka another look. He nodded at Cheng Feng and walked towards the helicopter.

”My Lord, please hold on!” Minister Naka immediately ran to chase after him and stopped Lu Tingxiao.

He thought that because Lu Tingxiao was in such a desperate situation, he would agree to further investments but the man did not take the bait.

If Lu Tingxiao really removed all his investments, the authorities would blame him and whatever benefits he had dreamt of would evaporate instantly.

”Mr. Lu, what I said was just what we can discuss later. We have an emergency at hand and will still need to save your wife from Philadelphia first, don't we?” Minister Naka quickly said after he stopped Lu Tingxiao.

”What about the troops?” Lu Tingxiao looked at Minister Naka coldly.
