Huo Yao nodded as she played with his hand. “Almost.”
Min Yu looked at her and did not stop her. “When are you leaving town?”
“In a couple of days. I want to go back and see Grandma first.” Huo Yao had already made plans to call Old Madam Yang and inform her about it.
Min Yu acknowledged softly. “I will prepare some gifts so that you can take them to her.”
“Sure.” Huo Yao knew her grandmother adored Min Yu, so she did not turn down the offer.
“Let’s eat.” Min Yu squeezed her hand before pulling it back and leaving school.
“Hold it right there! Did I say that you could leave?” Ashton bellowed with fury.
Lucas stopped, tilted his head to glance at Ashton, and asked with a contemptuous smile, “You want me to stay? But can you do it?”
Ashton seemed even more disgruntled.
He had brought nine people out with him today. Aside from the man in the black suit, who was the servant in charge of serving him, the other eight were all elite bodyguards that he had carefully selected.
But Lucas crippled the hand of one of them and knocked another unconscious with a single kick in just a few short moments. The remaining six bodyguards were extremely wary of him.
Given the overwhelming combat power Lucas had displayed, even if the remaining six fought against him together, they were probably no match for him.
At the thought of this, Ashton felt even more suffocated.
“Oh, by the way, I have to remind you that the land you’re standing on belongs to me, so I don’t want to hear anything about anyone taking over this land. It will make me very unhappy. You hear me?” Lucas glanced at Ashton’s gloomy face and ‘kindly’ gave him another warning.
Ashton’s face became even more gloomier.
In fact, he knew that the land he wanted already belonged to someone else.
He had just returned from abroad and missed the land auction yesterday. He was very upset about it and had decided that he would make whoever acquired the land give it to him.
In Ashton’s opinion, the land belonged to him, even though he hadn’t paid a single cent for it.
“You mean you bought this land?” Ashton asked Lucas, forcing himself to suppress his anger.
“You’re not stupid.” Lucas nodded with folded arms.
“I heard that you bought this plot of land for 1.2 billion dollars, right? I’ll give you 1.5 billion right now. Sell the land to me immediately!” Ashton said in a commanding tone.
To Ashton, this was already a compromise from him because he was actually offering an extra 300 million dollars to buy this land from this ignorant young man.
Lucas shook his head calmly. “No.”
“1.6 million!” Ashton said through gritted teeth.
Lucas sneered and shook his head. “No!”
Ashton glowered at Lucas and clenched his jaws. “You… Don’t be too greedy! 1.7 billion!”
He had honestly already offered a very attractive price. After all, the starting price of this land had only been 400 million dollars, and Lucas had bought it for 1.2 billion dollars. In the eyes of ordinary people, this would be considered a loss because there was no longer any room for profit.
And just one day later, Ashton actually offered a price of 1.7 billion dollars. If Lucas sold it to him, he would make a profit of 500 million dollars within one day. This was simply a faster way to make money than any other profitable industry!
Anyone else would have sold the land to Ashton at 1.7 billion dollars.
But Lucas wasn’t an ordinary person, and this land was of great use to him. So regardless of how much Ashton eventually offered, he wouldn’t sell it.
“I’m not selling it no matter how much you offer,” Lucas said indifferently.
Ashton was on the verge of losing his temper.
He had already offered Lucas 500 million dollars more than what he had paid for it. He didn’t expect Lucas to still refuse to sell this to him!
“Don’t be greedy! I’m already offering a great price! And it far exceeds the original value of this land! Don’t think of asking for more!
“Also, I’m here to buy this land on behalf of the Hills family of the royals. If you’re smart enough, you should sell the land to me. You’ll profit from it and also get a favor from us.
Huo Yao raised her brow and tutted.
The two of them disregarded the car following them and were quiet.
Before long, the car pulled up in front of the restaurant.
He had already booked a private room, so the waiter came downstairs and showed them to the room on the second floor.
After entering the private room, Min Yu sent the waiter away and told him to give them a minute. The door closed with a thud from behind.
Huo Yao took a couple of steps forward. When she heard the door closing behind her, she instinctively turned to look at the man behind.
