The Legendary Man

Chapter 546 Destroy Your Clan

Desmond listened to what Leslie said, and the former’s expression became worse and worse as time passed. There were only a handful of people in Summerbank that Desmond couldn’t offend.

Unfortunately, Leslie was one of them. The reason behind that was that Leslie’s father, Charlie Hart, was the governor of Summerbank.

The Jensen family might be extremely powerful, but at the end of the day, they were just businessmen, and they were no different from other regular citizens. Citizens could never win a battle against officials, and that fact would never change.

Naturally, those as powerful as the Jensen family had already built a rapport with most politicians. That was why, despite being a family of politicians, the Hart family would still have a hard time going up against the Jensen family.

Desmond grinned a little when he saw how calm Leslie was. “Well, if that is how you want to play it, Ms. Hart, then I will bid for ninety million.”

As Desmond spoke, he waved his hand at two of his subordinates. Those two subordinates made their way to Jonathan. It seemed Desmond had no intention of leaving Jonathan alone.

At the time, however, no one was paying attention to Jonathan. Everyone had their eyes on the auction and wondered who would win the first spot. Leslie raised her hand once more.

“One hundred million. This will be my last bid. If you can go even higher, Mr. Jensen, then the victory will be yours. I will gracefully accept defeat.”

Everyone turned their gazes to Desmond after they heard what Leslie said. The two of them represented the epitome of power and wealth in Summerbank. Their competition that day had caused the bid to reach the hundred-million threshold.

Since they had to spend at least a hundred million to win the bid and ask for a favor from Triplex Manifesta, it was evident that what was happening right then was not as simple as an ordinary competition between two parties who were at odds with each other.

The Hart family was a righteous family, and it was one of the most powerful families in Summerbank. Yet, Leslie had a problem that even someone as powerful as her couldn’t solve, which left her no choice but to go to Triplex Manifesta to ask for help. That meant something horrible was going to transpire in Summerbank.

Leslie might’ve said that she would accept defeat gracefully, but her tone made it obvious that she was threatening Desmond with her power.

Unfortunately, it was obvious that Desmond wouldn’t do her a favor and let her have her way.

“Leslie, under any other circumstances, I would let you win. It’s not a big deal. Today, however, I will not back down. I will pay one hundred and ten million for this!”

Desmond shouted once more and raised the price by another ten million.

He kept a nonchalant expression on his face, but on the inside, he was cussing nonstop.
