chapter 959


    Anthony was about to leave with the rest of the men. When he saw the photo sent to him by his


    bodyguard, he frowned.


    Was it that teenager again?


    It baffled him as well, but the mere sight of that teenager unhinged him. He could not help stealing


    nces at him.


    Darn it. What was wrong with him?


    He quickly looked away and instructed Luke, "Find out about this person. I expect a report within one


    hour." "Yes, Sir!" Luke then left.


    At the back.


    Charmine and Dior walked into an office when they suddenly were surrounded by about ten men,


    guarding the exit from the outside.


    The old man said to Charmine, "Thank you so much for helping me to open the box. Here''s your ten


    million refund. Furthermore, the total of seventy million bucks in the pool will belong to you as well."


    Charmine frowned. "What do you mean?"


    ''Young man, you can''t do anything with this sword while I’m an avid sword collector. I’d like to buy this


    with seventy million bucks! You should know that although this sword is ancient, it wouldn''t cost more


    than seventy million bucks," said the old man.


    Charmine scoffed, "How dare you break your promise. You want to take it back now?" 1


    "Don''t make it sound so bad. To me, this is a priceless collection. To you, this is merely some broken


    metal. Why not be happy with the seventy million bucks you''re getting?" refuted the old man.


    Dior instantly shot up straight. ''You''re not keeping your end of the bargain!


    Do you know who I am? I''ll make you feel worse than death!"


    "Ha, you''re just the precious daughter of the Navy General. You''re so spoiled! I''m trying to be civil with


    everyone here. Are you sure you two want it the hard way?" The old man''s face changed abruptly, no


    longer genial like he was before.


    He was old with wrinkles all over his face. By then, he looked like a scary witch.

    Dior was somehow scared. She did not expect this old man to be unafraid of the Granger family!


    She went behind Charmine and meekly spoke, "What do we do now?"


    Charmine hugged the box tightly. She was quite worried.


    In order to hide her identity from Anthony, she did not deploy Kay and his men around her.


    If they actually had to fight, with Dior by her side against more than ten of these men, they were


    unlikely to win...


    Seeing that they were scared, the old man continued, "How about this: I''ll give you an extra thirty


    million to make it a hundred million. You will then put down the box and leave, and we''ll pretend nothing


    happened.


    Otherwise, if I have to fight, you won''t get anything!"


    His words were filled with threat.


    If this was anything else, Charmine would not fight for it. She would take the money and leave.


    However, this was the Cherny family’s ancient sword. She could obtain the red wolf''s bone from them if


    she brought to them this sword.


    With that in mind, Charmine had a glint of harshness in her eyes. She already secretly sent a Grade


    One SOS text to Kay. 2


    Meanwhile, Charmine continued the charade as she spoke, "Old man, this is indeed a broken metal,


    but coincidentally, I happen to be a sword collector myself. If the price isn’t right, I won''t give it to you so


    easily."


    "Ha! You''re so young, how would you be a sword collector? This is an excuse! Right, Dior is from the


    Granger family, and they''re close to the


    Chernys. You must''ve gotten this for the Cherny family! You''re trying to buy time!”


    The old man alertly sensed something was wrong as he instantly instructed everyone, "Take them


    down! Take the sword back!"


    Instantly, more than ten bodyguards surrounded Dior and Charmine as they closed in on the distance.


    Each of them had a dagger in hand.


    It was a sticky predicament, no doubt!
