"What is it?" Chen Zhao frowned and looked at Pierce.
He always felt that Pierce South was a bit strange. This guy was too smart.
"Trede Pemton's wealth."
"What wealth does he have?"
"Do you admit that you gave his gold to the families of the victims in town?" Pierce looked at Chen Zhao with a smile.
"I don't know what you're talking about. If there's nothing else, please leave."
"Don't worry, listen to me. I'm not here for that. Who you give the gold to has nothing to do with me. But I know that Mr. Chen has been tight on cash lately. You seem to want to buy the town's Mirror Lake and the surrounding land, right?"
"Mr. Pierce, you're so well-informed?"
"It's not a secret. Many people know about it. I don't even need to spend much effort to find out."
"Mr. Pierce, are you here to show off your connections to me?"
"Of course not. I told you that I'm here to work with you to find the other part of Trede's wealth."
"You mean, he split the gold into two parts?"
"Not the gold. The other part is his art collection."
"If Trede Pemton had a collection, would Mr. Pierce work with me? I don't believe it. "
Chen Zhao needed money, but he was very clear-headed.
If it were him, he would not find someone else to share his wealth with.
Pierce South was a smart man. He wouldn't work with others casually.
Suddenly, Pierce South patted Chen Zhao's shoulder.
Chen Zhao felt a sharp pain. Instinctively, he smashed his fist toward Pierce's face.
"Ah …" Pierce flew out. "Ah … Help … Are you going to kill me?"
Pierce's mouth was full of blood and his teeth kept falling out.
Chen Zhao stared at Pierce in anger. "What did you stab me with?"
Pierce South covered his mouth, his face full of pain. "Misunderstanding … misunderstanding. I just wanted to tell you who I am. I'm a wizard, a wizard. I only used Shadow Sting just now to hurt you a little …"
Pierce did not expect Chen Zhao to retaliate so fiercely just to show his identity.
Chen Zhao's punch was too sudden and too heavy.
Pierce South didn't know how many teeth he had lost.
He'd guessed that Chen Zhao was a wizard like him.
However, he didn't expect Chen Zhao's reaction to be so huge. Chen Zhao even retaliated with a punch.
Hearing Pierce's words, Chen Zhao was stunned. "You're a wizard?"
"Ugh … it hurts. Damn it … why did you hit me so hard?" Pierce said in pain.
"You attacked me suddenly. I reacted instinctively."
Chen Zhao's punch had been really heavy. He was lucky that he didn't kill Pierce South.
Pierce Nance didn't know how many teeth he had left in his mouth. His voice sounded cold.
"If you don't want to be killed, don't do that again," Chen Zhao said with a dark expression.
"You're also a wizard, right? Why are you so strong? "
"It's none of your business."
"Alright, I'll tell you the truth. Trede Pemton has hidden another part of his wealth. All of them are very valuable artworks. They're worth millions of dollars, but I can't get them by myself. That's why I want to work with you."
"Why can't you get them?"
"Because he set up a ward in his hiding place. I can't break it by myself. Since you can defeat Trede Pemton, it means that you're definitely stronger than him. Maybe if you join us, we'll be able to get his property."
Chen Zhao was tempted. Millions of dollars was definitely a huge sum of money.
However, Chen Zhao didn't completely believe Pierce. After all, they weren't familiar with each other.
Pierce was a sly old fox. Chen Zhao didn't want to be too close to smart people like him.
"Where are the treasures?"
"How do we split them?"
"I want 80%. The remaining 20% is yours."
"Bye."
Chen Zhao turned to close the door. Did Pierce think that he was so poor that he could only accept charity?
"Wait … how about 70%? 60% … That's my bottom line. "
"50%. If you accept, we can continue. If not, ha …"
Pierce looked at Chen Zhao with sparkling eyes. "50%, but we won't do it according to the total price. When we get the treasures, we'll take turns choosing them. As for whether or not you can choose the valuable ones, it'll depend on you. How about that?"
Chen Zhao thought about it and immediately understood what the old fox was thinking.
Since Pierce knew the value of the treasures, he probably had some understanding of them. Maybe he'd even seen them before.
He also knew what was valuable and what wasn't.
Therefore, Pierce's request clearly meant that he wanted to get more benefits.
"I'll think about it," Chen Zhao said. "But I'm curious. You should have a lot of money, right? Why do you want to take the risk for a few million dollars?"
"Don't say a few million dollars is a small number. My net worth is only a few million dollars. The chemical plant doesn't belong to me alone, and most of it belongs to real estate. So although I'm rich, my bank savings may not even be as much as yours. Now that I have the opportunity to double my net worth, a little risk is worth it."
"I agree with your plan, but I also want a bottom line. If the treasures I choose aren't worth 30%, then you have to make up for at least 30% of the value."
To put it bluntly, Chen Zhao wanted to get more benefits, but he also wanted a bottom line.
"Okay." This was a deal that both of them could accept.
"Don't play tricks with me," Chen Zhao threatened. "If you dare to take it all for yourself, I'll kill you!"
"Don't let your imagination run wild. My house is in the neighboring town, so it's impossible for the movie to happen between us. Also … you haven't killed anyone before. You don't look like someone who would kill."
"Is it that obvious?" Chen Zhao asked, somewhat dejected. "Maybe I should act fiercer."
"Okay, we've officially reached an agreement. I'll call you on the day of the operation."
"When?"
"I need some preparation," Pierce said. "And the time isn't right."
"How long do we have to wait?"
"On the night of the next full moon."
"Then what do I need to prepare?"
