Chapter 916: Chapter 872: A Small Request Chapter 916: Chapter 872: A Small Request The visitor was about thirty years old, give or take, but to Nie Zhenbang, all foreigners looked more or less the sa. To him, there wasn’t much difference between soone in their fifties and soone in their twenties—they all looked similar.
This person naturally exuded an air of refinent. It was clear from his clothes and overall attire that they were from the workshops of Milan City.
At his side, Qusaid spoke softly, “Nie, this is Joseph Yi Xin from the presidential family of Yi Xin. He’s the current President’s eldest son, thirty-five years old. However, Joseph has no love for politics and has always kept himself out of the political sphere. He owns many businesses within our Starmoon Nation and is the country’s wealthiest man. Due to his indifference to politics, he maintains good relations with every family. We must show him due respect.”
Through the translator, Nie Zhenbang also felt surprised. Zhao Xinglong was already an exceptional figure, but he did not expect to et another such extraordinary person in Starmoon Nation.
Extending his hand, Nie Zhenbang smiled and said, “I’m honored to et you, Mr. Yi Xin. I believe you will be able to give a satisfactory answer.”
Joseph was also very pleased. After Ivanov got KO’d, Joseph Yi Xin beca interested in Nie Zhenbang. Now, seeing the boxer belonged to this group of Eastern leaders, Joseph too was quite surprised, and his curiosity intensified.
Reaching out for a handshake, he then said, “Just call Joseph. That’s how my friends address . Mister Nie, if it’s okay with you, how about we have a drink at my bar?”
Nie Zhenbang contemplated briefly before nodding, “Of course, it would be my honor.”
Turning, Nie Zhenbang looked toward Erson, who was pale with anger, and said, “Respected Master Erson, I believe you are a man of honesty and integrity. I’ll see you in three days.”
Joseph’s bar was indeed his own. The decor and design were crafted to the standards of the most luxurious international bars, but intriguingly, there were no custors, only the soothing strains of blues music.
The staff, the bartenders, and all the bar’s anities were fully in place. Joseph, clearly proud and generous, introduced with a smile, “Nie, this is my bar. I like this kind of atmosphere, but I don’t enjoy crowded places, so I had this exclusive bar tailor-made for myself.”
“Louis, bring out my treasured collection,” he ordered.
As a bartender nad Louis fetched the bottle, Joseph introduced him, “This is Louis, my personal bartender. From France, he’s an excellent mixer. Try this Louis XIII of mine, acquired from a collector.”
Nie Zhenbang laughed and responded, “Joseph, you are the true connoisseur. Alcohol is precious because it’s worth tasting. To just collect it is totally missing the point.”
The exchange with Joseph proved to be quite successful. Although brief, lasting just two hours, Joseph’s genteel deanor and confident style was sothing not easily imitated; even if soone tried, it would co across as contrived. It’s a kind of pride that cos from deep within, from the lineage of the number one family.
Making a good connection with Joseph was necessary. Gaining recognition from Yi Xin’s family could have an imasurable impact on his plans.
Thus, the conversation flowed naturally, and the two hit it off quite well.
The three days passed in the blink of an eye, but as the Sun set on the third day, Nie Zhenbang had not received the one billion US Dollars from Erson.
This situation made Qusaid very anxious, almost to the point of losing his composure. At exactly eight o’clock in the evening, he burst into Nie Zhenbang’s room.
Slamming down onto the sofa, he exclaid angrily, “Nie, we’ve been played, that damn Erson tricked us.”
“Qusaid, compose yourself, maintain your dignity, you’re the third in line to the Osman family, you should be reserved,” Nie Zhenbang said calmly. Over the past few days, Qusaid’s relationship with Nie Zhenbang had grown rapidly. Qusaid now had complete admiration for Nie Zhenbang.
After a pause, Nie Zhenbang stood up, smiling, “Qusaid, call Joseph and tell him that I’d like to invite him to a good show tonight. Also, Qusaid, you should know where Erson lives, right?”
Erson standing him up was sothing Nie Zhenbang had already anticipated. One billion dollars was a figure that Erson could not fulfill. Even the sum of Erson’s total assets was only about equivalent to this amount, with more than half being fixed assets, which could not possibly be liquidated in three days. Moreover, Nie Zhenbang was certain that Erson would definitely not seek help from his family.
In every prominent family, whether dostic or abroad, it is the sa. Even the rightful heir would not wish to seek help in such a situation, for seeking help is akin to giving up the position of heir. No one is willing to do this.
Therefore, when Qusaid ca and spoke those words, Nie Zhenbang showed no surprise. Moreover, in these three days, Nie Zhenbang had done his howork. The night he returned, Nie Zhenbang had arranged for the travel departnt and the information departnt to follow Erson, and now, they had discovered Erson’s exact address.
Erson was indeed bold; he did not leave Busa City but instead settled down in a villa here. Presumably, Erson was confident that Nie Zhenbang would not dare to do anything to him.
…
In Busa City, in the Southern Suburb by Devil’s Cave, Joseph showed a face full of apologies. As soon as he saw Nie Zhenbang, he ca up to greet him, smiling as he said, “Nie, I’m terribly sorry. I had not expected Erson to be so untrustworthy. Don’t worry, tonight, I will help you find him. I’ll take over all of his properties, and for the ten billion US dollars, I guarantee you won’t be short a penny.”
As soon as Joseph stopped speaking, Nie Zhenbang simply smiled and shook his head, saying, “Joseph, my friend, let’s not discuss this for now. Next, I’d like you to watch a good show with .”
Under Nie Zhenbang’s arrangent, as night fell, the motorcade quickly made its way to Erson’s villa in Busa City.
Erson’s villa was actually more like a private manor, located on Nanding Mountain in the suburbs of Busa City, with nearly half of the mountain enclosed by Erson.
As the convoy neared Nanding Mountain, they parked in a single file alongside the road, shutting off their engines and turning off their lights. Looking up at the brightly lit villa on the mountain top, Nie Zhenbang smiled and said, “Joseph, what’s coming next will be the real show.”
After speaking, Nie Zhenbang turned to Wu Li beside him and said, “Little Wu, I’ll leave the next actions to you. I hope the battle can be resolved within half an hour. Any issues with that?”
At that mont, Wu Li felt an unprecedented excitent. As a forr guard from the security bureau, he had skills but never the opportunity to use them. Now, following Nie Zhenbang to the Huaxia Group, Wu Li found his job had completely changed.
This excitent was beyond words. He imdiately nodded and said, “Boss, please be assured, we have thoroughly scouted the Nanding Mountain Manor. There are a total of two hundred and twenty-one surveillance caras installed here; we have everything under control. Rest assured, Boss, in half an hour, we will ensure you can be drinking tea in the manor’s living room.”
With a wave of his hand, Wu Li led his accompanying team of ten mbers from the travel departnt, plus two from the information departnt. Additionally, over these three days, Zhōu Kūn had sent another ten people over. More than twenty individuals vanished into the darkness.
This kind of waiting was torturous, but Joseph appeared to be quite interested, his gaze fixed on Nanding Mountain, fascinated by the Eastern man Nie. He found Nie Zhenbang to be an exceptionally outstanding individual, and that was the real reason why Joseph looked at him differently.
About twenty minutes later, the gate to Nanding Mountain Manor suddenly opened, and an electric cart approached with Wu Li on board. He waved his hand, and Nie Zhenbang smiled and said, “Joseph, please, let’s go inside.”
The group was impressive as they entered the manor. The car stopped at the majestic villa entrance. Stepping into the living room, they saw Erson sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression, flanked by mbers of the travel departnt.
As soon as he saw Erson, Qusaid imdiately exclaid, “Erson, you bitch. Do you know? I knew you were up to tricks. What? You’re not planning to pay the one billion dollars anymore?”
Joseph also shook his head. The act of kicking soone when they’re down was not uncommon among elite families; although Joseph was well-liked, this ti Erson really acted disgracefully. He had made a promise, and yet he failed to keep his word. It was as if he didn’t regard him at all.
Joseph also spoke up, “Erson, I am deeply disappointed. At this mont, you’ve abandoned , forgotten our friendship, our sincerity and trust.”
Nie Zhenbang didn’t speak but looked around. All security personnel had been controlled by the travel departnt mbers. There were no casualties, and Nie Zhenbang was quite satisfied, worthy of the carefully selected elite troops.
Here, Nie Zhenbang was like the master of the house, leisurely taking a seat opposite Erson and smiling, “Erson, we et again.”
At this mont, Erson had a look of indignation on his face as he looked up at Nie Zhenbang and said, “Eastern man, one billion dollars…”
He didn’t finish speaking when Nie Zhenbang interrupted, “Erson, no rush, we don’t have to hurry with the matter of the billion dollars. Now, I have a proposal, Erson. If you agree to a small request of mine, then the debt of the billion dollars can be completely written off. What do you think?” (
