1334 Ism not Going to Threaten You (1/2)
”I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I can't do that yet,” Stanford said. ”You probably already know this, but Professor Lin's research has only neared the final stage. It's not actually completed yet. You and Mr. Xiang will have to stay in America until we complete everything!”
”What? That was not the deal!” Chen Xiaobei spat. ”I suggest you don't go back on your words!”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
”Hehe! Mr. Chen really has quite the sense of humour! America is a powerful country and we are not afraid of warring. I am going back on my words indeed. Now what are you going to do about that?”
Stanford looked at Chen Xiaobei unambiguously.
This was exactly like that old proverb that said: if one's face is thick enough, one can achieve everything in this world!
He told Chen Xiaobei in the face that he had backtracked on the deal! As if that wasn't enough, he even taunted Chen Xiaobei! It was rare that a person's face could reach such a degree of thickness!
Of course, Chen Xiaobei appeared angry on the surface, but he had already expected this to happen and he was not surprised at all.
This was about a country's dominance over the sea for the next 10 or maybe even 100 years. Had it been another country, they too would have pursued relentlessly to acheive their goals.
Most importantly, this was the United States of America!
On home ground, Stanford could do whatever he liked. He also knew that Chen Xiaobei could do nothing about it.
”I'm not pleased with your attitude!” Chen Xiaobei's face darkened. Even though he had already expected this to happen, Stanford's attitude had really rubbed him off.
”Hehe… I can point you to the right way if you want something good from it!” Stanford smiled. ”If you can successfully convince Professor Lin to pledge his allegiance to America, I can personally guarantee that the both of you will reap huge benefits! Status, power, and wealth enough for a lifetime! Even the president and I would treat you with great respect. Think about it!”
”You want us to sell out our country? Dream on!” Chen Xiaobei barked.
Stanford just smiled at his response. ”It's alright. We have time. Take you time to think about it, Mr. Chen. The conditions I've laid out have no expiry. If you can convince the professor, I will make sure that you get everything I've promised you!”
”Don't try to sugarcoat your words! If you don't want to release Xiangyu, at least let me see him.”
”I'm sorry, I can't do that!” Stanford shook his head, and said. ”I'm afraid Mr. Xiang is currently unavailable!”
”Unavailable? Didn't you say he's fine? Don't tell me you were lying too.”
Chen Xiaobei furrowed his brows, his darkend eyes now red with anger.
He could tolerate Stanford revoking the deal. It was to be only expected. But he would definitely not allow Stanford to take back backtrack on Xiangyu's safety.
He had always thought that the Americans would keep Xiangyu safe in order to get their hands on the research. It had never crossed Chen Xiaobei's mind that Xiangyu's safety would be compromised even after they had gotten what they wanted!
”I must apologize. I have lied to you!” Stanford chuckled. ”Xiangyu is now in a terrible condition. He may not be able to survive the night. But since you're already here in America, he is now useless, don't you think?”
Bam!!!
Chen Xiaobei's pent up anger exploded. He slammed the table and thick glass shattered.
”If anything happens to Bro Yu, I will wipe out all American Officials!”
”Heh, Hehehe. Mr. Chen! That's a really funny joke!”
Instead of getting angry, Stanford smiled, ”We, the Americans have faced countless powerful enemies! Still, we stand strong! Even China has to surrender to us! Do you really think that you can threaten us?! Hehehe…”
”You have three seconds to tell me where Xiangyu is!” Chen Xiaobei barked.
”One, two, three! Time's up! Sp what are you going to do huh?” Stanford looked at Chen Xiaobei haughtily. ”Take a look at where you are standing! I know you have some kind of cultivation going on for you, but this is S.H.I.E.L.D's secret base! Powerful elites are everywhere! You can't threaten me!”
