V4C177 – Bride Price (2/2)

“You will send ceremonial gifts?” I generously waved my hands, “No need. It will be enough if your family just prepared a bride price!”

“What? Bride price?” Even if Keton was dull, he could still understand that the sister I was talking about was certainly Sallica even if I didn’t say it explicitly.

“it doesn’t need to be too much, just a few billions will be enough!” I continued to throw bombs at him, immediately petrifying Keton.

“A few billions?” Keton almost vomited blood. What was this man before him talking about, he wondered. Not too much? Just a few billion? What did he take them as? A bank? Really, it was as if he fell from the sky right into a frying pan!

Keton finally understood that he wasn’t going to have a very good time. When he came to Venice, he had thought that he will be able to send Sallica away for good with a few million this time. Once that was done, he will smoothly bring the young master back to the family. He never expected that Sallica wasn’t lacking money, and had found these two rich relatives from somewhere! And one of those relatives was estimated to be a fat cow from some major conglomerate! How could he not be frightened?

Philip too was shocked looking at what was happening before him! He never expected that I will actually come forward to help him! Although our relationship over the days was quite friendly, outsiders would be very reluctant about getting involved in matters like this!

Although Philip wasn’t very knowledgeable, he could still tell from my words and deeds that I was a man of great origin. What he didn’t expect was Keton being so respectful to me!

Although he was very thankful to me right now, he couldn’t go ahead and thank me before everyone right now, so he secretly cast a very grateful look towards me. I nodded to him and gestured him to rest assured!

Even Sallica had never expected that the two people they had made friendship over the days with were of the major background!

Now that matters had developed to this extent, Keton could no longer deal with everything on his own. All he could now do was ask the Old Master of the Family!

Since he no longer had any other means, Keton awkwardly said, “Mr. Liu, about the matter of bride price that you talked about, I can not take responsibility for that and must inquire the head of the family…… Please excuse me, I will take my leave!”

Keton had to find an excuse to call the master of the family. Now that matters were getting worse, he had to ask for instructions!

“No problem,” I naturally knew that Keton wanted to seek assistance, but I didn’t care. Even if the Master of the Philip Family came, he could hardly refuse me! It wasn’t a matter of just giving face, but I, the owner of Shuguang International, not only represented one company but an entire International Conglomerate!

For example, if I had a business relationship with the Philip Family and had some sort of disagreement with them, they will certainly side with me after weighing in the advantages and disadvantages!

As an enterprise, it was natural to stand where they benefit, depending on the more formidable side!

Of course, Keton thought of this too and he didn’t dare offend me. But he couldn’t make any decision for the family, so he didn’t dare say anything. He could only quickly report to the head of the family and ask for further instructions. Otherwise, he will be disliked by both inside and outside, having to take all the blame!
