was where they would meet the people from the Bellamy Group
after arriving at the gate of the manor, they parked the cars aside.
Everyone got out of the car and walked into the manor.
Besides Collen, Gracia also brought more than twenty bodyguards and her assistant. And they looked mighty.
“Bellamy Group often dominates the market. They may have no good intentions of taking the initiative to ask us to come here. We will all rely on you when we’re facing them. Mr. Smith”
Colden said with a smile. “You can rest assured. Ms. Moreno. With me here, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to us, no matter how many people they have.”
The smug look on Colden’s face was hard to disguise,
He had been famous in Newden City for many years, and his reputation had even spread throughout the country, so he didn’t care about those ruffians.
Hearing what Colden said, Gracia suddenly felt confident.
As soon as they stepped into the gate, some bodyguards who were chatting noticed them.
A tall and thin young man with tattoos shouted, “Are you from Santos Group?”
Gracia nodded. “Yes. We’re here to see Mr. Bellamy.”
The young man nodded and looked at Gracia back and forth unscrupulously. He then said. “Mr. Bellamy is waiting for you
inside.”
After saying that, he yelled to the inside again.
“The people from Santos Group are here.”
The next moment, there were more than 20 vicious people came out from all directions.
Gracia was a girl, but she was quite courageous at the moment.
She just ignored these people directly and strode inside.
In the manor, there was a gazebo.
And on the gazebo, there were two cane chairs and a coffee table with a pot of brewed coffee on it.
A fat middle–aged man was smoking a cigar and drinking coffee.
A tall woman in a dress next to him was pouring him another cup of coffee carefully.
On the 150–foot–long path leading to the gazebo, more than 30 bodyguards in suits and leather shoes stood.
Their hands were crossed on the belly, and their muscular bodies showed a solemn murderous look.
The cane chair opposite the fat man was empty. It was obviously prepared for Gracia who came to negotiate. Gracia showed up on the path with her people.
Even though she was well–informed, she couldn’t help frowning slightly after seeing such a scene.
And the expressions of the bodyguards behind Gracia also became rattled.
They just saw this kind of scene in movies.
Leonard squinted his eyes, thinking that Bellamy Group was quite good at making scenes.
However, Colden was still calm and relaxed.
“Here you are, Ms. Moreno. Take a seat.”
The fat man smiled slightly, and the fat on his face was even shaking.
Since she was here, Gracia couldn’t lose her momentum. She took a deep breath, walked to the cane chair, and sat down. Colden and Leonard stood behind her on both sides. Colden
“Ms. Moreno, you should be clear about my purpose of meeting you here this time.”
“Bellamy Group wants to undertake the project of the south commercial street,” the fat man said straightforwardly
Gracia said with a smile, “Mr. Bellamy, the quotation of your group was too high during the bidding, so we chose another
my and signed the contract with them Maybe we can cooperate the next time. You can’t let our Santos Group breach contract. If we break the contract, we have to pay high liquidated damages. What’s more, honesty is the foundation of businessmen.
Ansel raised his eyebrows and said. “Ms Moreno, I thought you came here today with sincerity. If you are still going to talk like this, there would be no need for us to talk.
“It’s just that if you don’t give this project to Bellamy Group, you won’t be able to build the commercial street even the year aher next.
“Have you ever counted how much money you will lose due to the two–year delay? I think you are a clever woman”
Ansel spoke while pouring the brewed coffee into the coffee cup. His posture was relaxed as if he controlled the overall
situation
“Do you think our Santos Group is easy to bully, Mr. Bellamy?”
Gracia was a little angry
“Ms. Moreno, don’t be angry. Santos Group is indeed a big group, but Bellamy Group is not easy to mess with. I have prepared a contract here. You can take a look at it and give us the construction project of the land in the south of the city. That would do good for both of us” novelbin
Tve told you that the project has already been contracted out, and I can’t give it to Bellamy Group So, there is no need for me to read this contract, Gracia immediately refused.
“Don’t be so stubborn, Ms. Moreno, If you don’t sign the contract, you will not be able to leave here today!”
Ansel smiled contemptuously and tapped on the table.
Hearing this, Gracia’s expression became rattled.
She had already guessed that Ansel had no good intentions, and sure enough. Ansel was going to use dirty tricks
What do you mean, Mr. Bellamy?” Gracia asked coldly.
“Nothing serious. It’s just my buddies are not very good–tempered.
“If you don’t sign the contract, they may do something bad to you if they get angry
You are pretty, Ms. Moreno. You won’t want to have scars on your face.”
“Mr. Bellamy, do you think that I won’t do some preparations since I dare to come to the meeting today? Let me see how you will keep me
Seeing that the quarrel was open, Gracia stopped pretending to be polite.
She stood up straight away and said to Colden. “Mr. Smith, let’s fight a way out.”
Colden nodded, took a step forward, and said, Tm Colden Smith from Burgring, and I’m going to fight a way out for Ms. Moreno. If anyone stands in the way, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Burgring was the birthplace of martial arts in Newden City. Colden was the powerhouse of Burgring, and he was also very
famous.
Hearing Colden’s name, Ansel just smiled disdainfully.
“Do
you
think this old man can get you out of here? Gracia, if you can walk out of this yard today, Bellamy Group will never touch the project of the south commercial street again.”
At this time, Colden had already stepped forward and knocked down a rushed–up bodyguard of Ansel’s with one punch. Colden was indeed good.
However, the next moment, he was surrounded.
When Colden knocked another person out, he was hit by a swinging stick in the back, and he couldn’t help swaying
Seeing this scene, Gracia became nervous again.
“It’s a new age, and you’re still playing the same tricks in the past. You may be able to beat one or two at a time, but can you beat thirty? Do you think my subordinates are all trash?”
Ansel chuckled with a cold gleam in his eyes.
In the crowd, Colden was fully coping with attacks from all directions, and his expression was no longer as calm as before.
Although Ansel’s subordinates were not as strong as Colden, they were more numerous, and all of them were experienced in fighting.
Colden had already been hit a few times after the fight started.
“You’re courting death!”
Chapter 22
Colden was enraged and began to fight ruthlessly.
He beat a strong man to spit out blood in one move.
But the next moment, a man flew up into the air and kicked Colden’s chest.
Colden couldn’t stand steady and backed a few steps.
At this time, someone came up with a machete, leaving a blo ody wound on Colden’s back.
These people didn’t have much martial virtue.
They only fought with fists and feet just now, but now they were even using machetes.
“Cracking!”
It was the sound of ripping off the clothes.
Colden stumbled back a few steps and retreated to Gracia’s side.
At this moment, there were many wounds on his body, and he was in a terrible state.
Colden gasped in pain. He said to Gracia with a wry smile. “I’m sorry, Ms. Moreno. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take you
out.”
With the coffee cup in his hand, Ansel took a sip of the coffee and said calmly, “Bellamy Group spends more than 10 million dollars on goons every year. Do you think I’m so stu pid to waste the money? If they can’t even deal with such an old man like you, why should I keep them?”
After saying that. Ansel picked up the coffee maker, poured a cup of coffee into Gracia’s cup, and gently pushed it in front of Gracia. He said with a smile. “Have some coffee, Ms. Moreno. Can we discuss the contract properly now?”
Gracia’s pretty face was already pale. She didn’t expect that Colden was not able to take her out though he was powerful.
Based on what she knew about Bellamy Group, if she didn’t sign the contract today, she might end up miserable.
But if Gracia signed it, it would darnage the interests of the Santos Group.
The key point was that she was not the boss of Santos Group
Gracia looked at Leonard subconsciously.
She lost her mind at this moment.
“We will not sign the contract. Bellamy Group has delayed our project progress, so you have to pay us two million dollars.” Leonard, who was next to Gracia, suddenly said.
