To Williams' surprise, the Dragon Ancestor's expression remained completely unchanged.
She continued to stare at him indifferently.
They seemed completely unsurprised by what he said.
I saw.
The Dragon Ancestor slowly took a document from the drawer and placed it on the table. Then, with his hands crossed and a calm gaze, he said:
“William, what kind of person are you? What kind of person is John Bull? History has already proven you clearly. How could I not hold back when cooperating with you?”
"You need to understand, the entire shipment of weapons I sent to Africa was done under John Bull's name and with your signed documents."
If anyone is to be held responsible for everything, it will come back to you. I'm just a businessman, a perfectly ordinary wealthy man from Hong Kong. Who would come after me?
Seeking one's own demise—truly a tradition of John Bull.
Hear this.
Williams' pupils suddenly contracted.
A chill ran down my spine, and I shivered.
This guy is as difficult to deal with as ever.
The Dragon Ancestor stubbed out his cigarette and stood up in front of the French windows.
Looking at the busy crowd below, he said slowly and deliberately:
"William, I'm giving you a chance instead of directly controlling you, so you can go back to John Bull and live a good life. As for our previous cooperation, don't even think about it."
"It's okay to be greedy, but there must be a limit. Since you've chosen to cooperate with the Number Gang and follow John Bull's orders, don't blame me for being ruthless."
There was no emotion in the Dragon Ancestor's eyes; they were indifferent.
poof...
A muffled sound was heard.
Turn around and look.
All that could be seen was Williams, who had collapsed to his knees in front of the desk.
Williams raised his eyebrows and pleaded, "Mr. Long, give me another chance. I am still willing to cooperate with you. It was not John Bull who pressured me in this matter. As the Governor of Hong Kong, I cannot disobey orders."
Faced with Williams's shy expression, she simply waved her hand and said calmly.
"Please leave, Mr. William. I have other matters to attend to." Just as he finished speaking, several burly men walked in.
With a fierce expression, he extended a hand, gesturing for Williams to leave.
"Dragon Ancestor, are you really going to do this? Is there no room for negotiation at all?" Williams said in a deep voice, staring at the Dragon Ancestor's back with resentment.
"It's not that I'm not giving you a chance, but your so-called cooperation and admission of wrongdoing are nothing more than your unwillingness to part with money. Even if you were given ten thousand more chances, you would still choose the same path. I understand your actions, but I don't forgive you..."
After saying that, the burly men carried Williams away.
Watching William's departing figure, Long Zu waved his hand indifferently.
A figure silently followed William's shadow from the shadows.
William was completely unaware that someone was following him as he was dragged out of the main gate of the Long Group.
The Long Group is located on a hillside in the suburbs of New York City, in a beautiful environment with fresh air.
Williams was dumped near a golf course close to the Long Group, and at this point, Williams was 2.7 and furious.
But he didn't dare to vent; he knew he had to calm down.
"Damn it! How could it be him!" Williams' eyes widened as he stared intently at a car in the distance.
The white sedan stopped, and a man slowly stepped out. He was wearing a white suit and white gloves, and looked neat and clean.
"Hello, Dragon Ancestor," the man greeted the Dragon Ancestor with a smile.
Chapter 542 is not simple!
"Who are you, and what do you want with me?" the Dragon Ancestor asked calmly.
“Of course, I think Mr. Long would be very happy to talk to me, at least much more pleasant than talking to your assistant William,” the man said with a smile.
"Alright, then go ahead and tell me." The Dragon Ancestor nodded.
The man opened the car door and got into the passenger seat, and Long Zu followed suit. The two cars then headed down the mountain.
In the car.
The man smiled and turned to Long Zu, saying, "My name is Brooklyn George, and my English name is Anthony. I am a famous British investor and entertainment company owner. However, these empty titles are not important to me. The most important thing is that I admire Mr. Long's courage. If you are willing to join our club, I guarantee that you will be successful in the future!"
15 Hearing Brooklyn's confident words, the Dragon Ancestor shook his head and said calmly.
"I'm sorry, I don't like being coerced."
Long Zu rejected the offer from Brooklyn.
Upon hearing that the Dragon Ancestor had rejected his proposal, Brooklyn's face stiffened, but he quickly recovered, smiled contemptuously, and continued to speak to the Dragon Ancestor.
"You are indeed a smart person. You should understand that nothing in this world is truly permanent except for power and money."
"If you refuse me, you will lose all these things, and you might not even be able to keep your life." Brooklyn's voice suddenly turned much colder, filled with a threatening tone.
Long Zu looked at Brooklyn indifferently and said, "I know, but so what? Do you think I'm a coward who would give in?"
Brooklyn was stunned; he hadn't expected the Dragon Ancestor's reaction to be so strong.
However, Brooklyn quickly revealed a cruel smile and said, "Mr. Long, the main reason I'm here today is because I'm very interested in you."
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Ancestor raised an eyebrow and said.
"Yes, I am very interested in Mr. Long. Although Mr. Long appears calm, I saw a hint of fervor deep in his eyes. I think that is probably why Mr. Long rejected me."
At this point, Brooklyn's gaze sharpened, staring intently into the Dragon Ancestor's eyes.
Long Zu stared calmly at Brooklyn, his eyes unblinking, as if he were completely unaffected.
“Mr. Long, don’t be nervous. Rest assured, I won’t hurt you. On the contrary, we will become friends. However, before we become friends, I have a question that I hope you can answer for me. After all, you are a smart man, and you should know that it is most pleasant for smart people to cooperate.” Brooklyn said with a smile.
The Dragon Ancestor nodded and said, "Speak."
A strange smile crept across Brooklyn's face, and he said, "Mr. Long, do you really know my sister Brian?"
Upon hearing Brooklyn 043 mention Brian, Long Zu paused slightly, remembering this person.
“Brooklyn, what do you think?” Dragon Ancestor asked in return.
Brooklyn nodded and said, "It seems that you two are really familiar with each other. But that's normal. Brian's personality is too arrogant. If it weren't for you, she probably wouldn't communicate with anyone. Mr. Long can make Brian change her attitude, so it must be no simple matter."
Brooklyn is right. Brian is indeed an extreme woman. She has always been a loner since childhood, never getting close to anyone or communicating with anyone.
However, Brian's reaction was completely different when it came to the Dragon Ancestor.
Chapter 543 How did things go?
“I know, Mr. Long and my sister have known each other for a long time. You have taken care of Brian all this time. On behalf of my sister, I thank you, Mr. Long. We will remember this kindness,” Brooklyn said sincerely.
The Dragon Ancestor waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."
Brooklyn and Long Zu chatted for a while, then Brooklyn stopped the car and said to Long Zu.
"Mr. Long, we've arrived."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Ancestor opened the car door and got out.
The villa occupies the hilltops on both sides of the road, surrounded by lush trees and flowerbeds and greenery.
"The scenery at this villa is quite nice, Mr. Long, you might want to consider it," Brooklyn said with a smile, pointing to a villa not far away.
Long Zu glanced at Brooklyn and said, "No need to think about it, I won't be leaving Los Angeles for the time being."
Brooklyn's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this.
“Mr. Long, what do you mean by this?” Brooklyn asked, frowning.
“Hehe, what I mean is, our company has taken on this project, so Mr. Brooklyn, you can go back now.” Long Zu said with a smile, and then prepared to take a step.
However, Brooklyn stopped him and said...
“Mr. Long, what you’re doing is probably against the rules. I was the one who took a liking to this first,” Brooklyn said, frowning.
"Oh, then go ahead and sue me in court," Long Zu said with a shrug.
Seeing that the Dragon Ancestor was completely unmoved, Brooklyn couldn't help but curse inwardly, "This Dragon Ancestor is really damn stubborn."
"Since Mr. Long is so stubborn, there's nothing I can do. Farewell." Brooklyn gave Long Zu a cold look, turned around, got into his car, and drove away. Clearly, he had lost patience with Long Zu and didn't want to stay with him any longer.
After Brooklyn's car disappeared from sight, Long Zu got into his own car and left.
Back in his hotel room, Long Zu lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
"System, how can I complete the hidden quest?"
"The host only needs to follow the hidden plot."
The Dragon Ancestor frowned slightly. Following the hidden plot was just ridiculous. How was he supposed to know what plot he needed to complete?
"What the heck is this hidden plot?"
