Chapter 436: Obeying Commands


    Be didn''t have any ulterior motives; she just wanted Daniel to be indebted to her. That way, she


    could have him at her beck and call, ensuring he followed her everymand.


    Gary, growing more irritated, warned Daniel, "Country boy, you''d better keep your mouth shut! If you


    keep bbing nonsense, I swear I''ll make you pay!"


    "Gary, my mouth is none of your business; only Be can shut me up. And good luck trying to ''get''


    me. If I''ve got anything, it''s a strong will to live. The way I see it, I’m indestructible. So, your threats?


    They''re empty," Daniel challenged.

    "Country boy, you''d best face reality!" Gary spat, no longer wanting to waste breath on Daniel. He


    made his bid to Leo: "I''ll offer a hundred million and a hundred dors."


    Though trivial, the additional hundred dors was well within Gary''s means. However, Leo felt


    insulted by Gary''s gesture of bidding the bare minimum - just one hundred dors more to im the


    ''Gray Tree.'' He med himself for not specifying a minimal increment when setting the rules, which


    now left a loophole for Gary to exploit.


    Without the option to enforce a minimum bid raise, Leo turned his attention to Daniel, seeing an


    opportunity to use the gullible country boy to his advantage. "Country boy," he began slyly, "when


    Be told you to ''do whatever,'' she was assigning you a task to secure the ''Gray Tree'' at any cost.


    Gary is now bidding a hundred million and a hundred dors. Do you have the guts to beat that?"


    Daniel raised two fingers in response to Leo''s goading. Confused, Gary mockingly asked, "What''s


    that supposed to mean, country boy? Are you admitting you''re a fool?"


    "I bid two hundred million," Daniel dered.


    The bold bid floored Be. ring at Daniel, she hissed, "Are you trying to get yourself killed,


    country boy? Raising the price by a hundred million in one go; I ought to sell you off!"


    "Do you think I’m worth two hundred million?" Daniel replied mischievously.


    "You know you''re not worth two hundred million, yet you’re yelling out bids like a madman?"


    Gary was unwilling to match the lofty figure Daniel threw out. Quickly, he reminded Be, "Be, this


    country boy''s arbitrary bid can''t possibly stand, can it? Although the Matthews might be able to


    come up with two hundred million, the money didn''t just fall out of the sky! Letting some country boy


    squander it recklessly won''t look good to your family, will it?"


    "If I''ve given the country boy authority, then his bid is as good as my decision. So, if he says two


    hundred million, I''m on board," Be firmly answered.


    Even though she wasn''t sure about the true value of the ''Gray Tree,'' it had been authenticated as a


    genuine piece by Mondrian, appraised by Xavier himself. She figured even at the price of two


    hundred million, it was a fair deal.


    Be''s response infuriated Gary. Pointing at Be, he questioned loudly, "Are you trying to cross me


    on this?"
