Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Peerless Fiend (3rd Update)
People from Country R arrived quickly, as the sound of the door opening echoed.
Xue An closed his eyes and observed everything in the living room through Divine Sense.
He saw that it was a man from Country R who had come, followed by a female secretary.
This man’s demeanor was incredibly arrogant, and after shaking hands briefly with Shen Kang, he sat on the sofa and started speaking at length in the language of Country R.
After rattling off a long string of words, Shen Kang and Shen Jun looked at each other, both failing to understand what was meant.
It was then that the female secretary spoke up in English.
“This is the son of the president of the Chuanye consortium. Our young master says that he has had professional accounting firms evaluate the company, and it is not of great value. Moreover, now that it has offended a major figure, it would cost a significant sum of money to settle the matter!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Kang’s face turned ugly.
But in business, praises and criticisms are normal, so he still suppressed the fire in his heart and said, “Young Master Chuanye, the film and television company founded by my Shen Family may not be the largest in Hollywood, but it is second to none. Not to mention the hardware facilities, just the movie and television rights alone could sell for hundreds of millions of US dollars!”
Young Master Chuanye’s lips curled into a sneer of disdain as he spoke another lengthy stream of words in Country R’s language.
The secretary said, “Our young master says that he is not very interested in those rights. But since he is here, he can make you a sincere offer!”
As she spoke, the secretary pulled out a stack of contracts from her bag and placed them on the table.
Shen Kang took them and his face immediately changed color.
The price offered was slightly higher than those of a few companies from M Country, but still far below the true selling price in normal times.
“This… this…” Shen Kang found himself caught between a rock and a hard place.
If he didn’t sell,
it would soon be the final deadline set by that powerful figure, and not only would he lose all his money, but even the safety of his family could not be guaranteed.
But to sell!
The loss would be too great!
He couldn’t help turning pale, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Meanwhile, Shen Jun was secretly exchanging glances with Chuanye, who was sitting on the sofa.
“This price is still too low. Can it be raised a bit more?” Shen Kang’s tone had become utterly dejected.
Chuanye smiled and gestured to his secretary to speak.
“Mr. Shen, you should know, the only one who can offer this price right now is our young master Chuanye! Just sign now, and the money will be immediately wired to your bank account. Then you can take your family back to Huaxia for retirement!”
“Mr. Shen, surely you don’t want your precious daughter to get caught in this vortex as well, do you!”
This last sentence completely broke Shen Kang.
His face turned ashen as he fell silent for a moment, then picked up a pen in despair.
“Alright! I’ll sign now!”
Shen Jun could hardly conceal the joy in his eyes.
But just as Shen Kang was preparing to sign,
Xue An stood up and slowly walked out from the reception room.
His sudden appearance startled everyone in the room.
Shen Jun frowned and said sternly, “We’re in the middle of discussing important matters. Leave immediately!”
He naturally did not have a good impression of Xue An.
But Xue An just smiled faintly, “Mr. Shen, isn’t it a pity to sign away like this?”
Those words struck like a bolt from the blue.
Shen Jun’s face changed dramatically as he shouted angrily, “I’m warning you again, leave at once! If you disrupt the Shen Family’s important affair, nobody will be able to save you!”
Shen Kang also frowned slightly, feeling sudden displeasure.
In his view, his daughter’s friend must have overheard something and then rashly come out to interfere.
So, he too, spoke with a cold expression, “Mr. Xue, you’re a friend invited by NanNan, so I hope you can show some self-respect!”
Xue An, however, remained completely composed as he walked straight up to the young master of the Chuanye Group.
Sitting arrogantly on the sofa, Chuanye looked up at him, opened his mouth, and spoke a barrage of Country R’s language.
“Our young master says…,” the female secretary attempted to interpret.
Xue An waved his hand dismissively, “No need, I understand!”
Then Xue An lowered his head, looking at the Chuanye heir, and questioned him in fluent Country R’s language.
“Chuanye Group?”
The expression of Chuanye’s heir faltered, then he looked at Xue An somewhat perplexed.
“You know me?”
Xue An offered a faint smile, shaking his head, “I don’t know you! But I do know several people from Tokyo!”
Chuanye’s heir smirked arrogantly, “Oh? You know people from Tokyo? Let me guess, are they women from the brothels or companions from the bars?”
Xue An eyed him and spoke slowly, “Takeuchi Kiyoko, do you know her?”
Takeuchi Kiyoko!
This name was like a thunderclap, stunning the previously disdainful Chuanye heir into a momentary daze!
“You… you know Miss Takeuchi?” Chuanye’s heir stuttered.
One should know that Takeuchi Kiyoko was now the absolute ruler of Tokyo’s underworld, not only beyond the reach of Chuanye’s heir but also more influential than several of Tokyo’s top conglomerates combined with just a single word from her!
Xue An shook his head.
Chuanye’s heir inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he didn’t know her!
But then, Xue An stated indifferently, “Strictly speaking, I’m her master!”
Master?
Hearing this title, Chuanye’s heir nearly slid off the sofa.
He didn’t doubt the veracity of this claim at all, because no one would dare to pretend!
Chuanye’s heir quickly stood up, bowing respectfully and said, “You… you are Mr. Xue, Xue An?”
“Oh? You know me?” Xue An said lightly.
At this moment, Chuanye’s heir felt like crying, it was indeed him!
Who in Tokyo didn’t know this name?
The master of the underground empress, the instigator of the Sensoji Temple incident, the man who brought down the Tokyo Tower with a single sword strike!
Recently, Mr. Xue had caused an uproar in Tokyo.
And the result?
The Prime Minister and others had to send him off politely without so much as a peep of protest!
Thus, in the circles of Tokyo’s elite and conglomerates, Xue An was also known as a supremely formidable person!
In the presence of such a fiercely intimidating figure, Chuanye’s heir bent deeply at the waist and said most respectfully, “Yes, I have heard of the gentleman’s extraordinary deeds, I never expected to find you here!”
Xue An stated indifferently, “I came here on some business and happened to overhear your conversation. This Shen Family happens to be a friend of mine!”
“Yes!” Chuanye’s heir bent even deeper, his forehead nearly touching the floor as cold sweat dripped down relentlessly.
“I had no idea that Shen Sang was a friend of yours, I deserve to die! Please forgive me, sir!”
Xue An shook his head, “Forget it, you didn’t know, I won’t hold it against you!”
Chuanye’s heir’s heart lightened, and he bowed repeatedly, “Thank you, sir, thank you!”
Only then did he raise his head, looking at Xue An warily.
“Sir, may I now…”
Xue An waved his hand, “Get lost!”
