Chapter 229: The Other Party Has Taken the Bait!

On the seventh floor of the Chamber of Commerce building.

The two vice presidents were standing in front of a luxurious desk with their heads lowered, waiting for their president to express his opinion.

After a long time, the white-haired old man finally spoke, “Is there really 20 billion?”

Harold quickly said, “It’s absolutely true! That’s the certificate of the Federal Bank!”

“Yes, President! We usually earn more than 1 billion or 2 billion. If we can get this 20 billion, how many Barons and Viscounts will we get?”

Sphinx cooperated with Harold.

The president looked at the beautiful female secretary standing in the distance and thought for a while before saying, “How about this? Send someone to keep an eye on them first! Then, Sphinx will go and pacify them. I’ll find my friends in Heavenly City to investigate the background of these two people! If everything is true, then why don’t we earn this money?”

“Understood!” The two vice presidents were very happy!

They immediately left to do their business. This was because they could get a large commission from this transaction!

“Boss! This is the list of food gifts today, please take a look…”

The beautiful female secretary walked toward the office desk with her long legs wrapped in silk stockings.

Although she had her beautiful black hair tied up and she was wearing black-framed glasses, anyone could tell that she was a great beauty! Even her business attire could not hide her devilish figure!

After the president had put down the list, he looked at the secretary and could not stop laughing.

…

Now, everyone’s gaze was attracted by a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

The man covered his nose while the woman blushed.

Even the person in charge of keeping an eye on Locke and the others in the distance was attracted by Belinda’s perfect figure.

“It’s… Amazing…”

“What did this woman eat growing up?”

“Tell me, who is better, her or Secretary Deborah?”

Another member of the Chamber of Commerce who was in charge of keeping an eye on Locke and Belinda put down his binoculars and started thinking.

This seemed to be a very difficult question.

After thinking for a while, he said, “It’s not comparable! One has blonde hair and is hot, the other is beautiful and has a perfect figure! Let’s tie for first place!”

The person who asked the question also nodded and felt that this was the correct answer.

Soon, a yacht approached the shore.

Seeing that Sphinx was approaching with a smile on his face, Locke and Belinda looked at each other and thought, ‘He’s taken the bait!’

After putting on a towel for Belinda, Locke looked at Sphinx and asked, “Mr. Vice President! Is there something the matter?”

Sphinx appeared a little embarrassed but he continued to maintain his smile and said, “Hahaha! Mr. Casey! I’ve already told the president about your request! He’s very interested and is thinking of a way for you… He even said that you’re a guest and asked me to come and offer my greetings!”

Locke found it funny. Was not he just afraid that Locke would leave?

However, Locke did not expose his thoughts and pretended to say, “Oh…! You mean that matter? It doesn’t matter if I can buy the title or not! My sister just blamed me for being impulsive! Anyway, we’re leaving tomorrow! Let’s talk about it in the future when we have the chance!”

Hearing the other party’s words, Sphinx’s smile could no longer be maintained. He quickly said, “No, no, no, Mr. Casey! You’re being impulsive now! Think about it, what does the title of Duke mean?

“It means that your family’s business will be more unimpeded on the continent in the future! Your future generations can also enjoy the benefits brought by this glory! This investment is worth it!

“I understand the president! Since he asked me to come here, it must mean that he’s confident that he could settle this matter for you. Please believe me!”

Locke and Belinda looked at each other, pretending to be good-for-nothings, nodding their heads as if they understood something.

“I’ve already booked the two of you the best suites in all of Water City! Please stay as long as you want! The expenses will be completely covered by our Chamber of Commerce! There are still many delicious and fun things in Water City that you haven’t experience yet!” Sphinx quickly took out a room card and a map.

It was not that the luxury hotel Locke was interested in but the food spots marked on the map.

“Thank you! I hope you can hurry up! My sister and I also have to go home to deal with some business! Please give me an answer tomorrow!”

“Of course! Of course!”

Seeing the two of them looking at the map with interest as they walked, Sphinx breathed heavily in his heart!

Fortunately, he had come on time to pacify Locke! Otherwise, the 20 billion would be gone!

When this matter was over, the president would definitely reward him! Thinking of this, Sphinx returned to the yacht in satisfaction.

…

The next morning.

Sphinx, who had not slept well the entire night. He finally received a call from the president.

“I’ve already asked my friends in Heavenly City. These two people are indeed from a wealthy family in Fire City.

“Tell them that there will be no problem with the title of Duke! Let him stay in Water City to wait for news! Two weeks at most!”

This was all the cooperation of Secretary Peter and the governor of Fire City.

“Also, the Chamber of Commerce needs to maintain a good relationship with such a rich man! The Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for the expenses during these two weeks!”

“Yes, President!”

“Well… You’ve made a great contribution this time! You’ll receive a bigger portion of the commission!”

After hanging up the phone, Sphinx shouted excitedly. He changed his clothes, went downstairs, and drove the yacht to the hotel!

At this time, Locke had just woken up.

“Huh?!”

When he opened his eyes, he found Belinda sleeping beside him! She was even hugging his arm!

After checking, he had confirmed that nothing had happened between them last night.

Locke sighed and asked, “Hey! When did you come in?”

Belinda was woken up. She rubbed her eyes and said, “Um… I didn’t sleep well, so I came over…”

‘Oh my god! Am I a pillow? Can you come as you please?’

“Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong…”

At this moment, the bell outside the door rang.

Their sleepiness immediately disappeared. They hurriedly made preparations.

After opening the door, Locke realized that it was Sphinx’s smiling face.

“Mr. Casey, may I enter?”

“Of course!” Locke smiled and invited him in.

“How is it, Mr. Vice President?” Locke sat on the sofa and yawned.

Belinda, who pretended to have just woken up, also walked out of her room.

After saying hello, she poured two cups of warm water.

“Thank you, Madam!” After drinking a mouthful of water, Sphinx looked at Locke and said, “Mr. Casey, the president has agreed! You only need to wait in Water City for a few weeks!

“Of course! During this period, all the expenses will be covered by our Chamber of Commerce!”

Belinda took the opportunity to hide in her room and sniggered. She had never expected that the enemy would take the initiative to pay for their expenses.

It was indeed quite rare!

All of this was due to Locke’s intelligence. Moreover, he had invisibly closed the distance between them.

Next step would be infiltrating the corporation for deeper investigation.

They will make their move at the appropriate time!
