After pausing for a while, Edward ordered people to carefully move out all the smuggled antiques placed on the floor of the room. Looking at the antiques that were not missing, a huge question mark rose in the hearts of everyone present.
That's how all of this was done? Even if they scratched their heads, they had no idea.
"Mr. Xue, please come downstairs." Edward said politely with a smile on his face.
If those who are familiar with Edward see this scene, their jaws will drop. Edward is such an unruly person. Even if he meets the local mayor, he would not have such an attitude, and there is no need.
After going downstairs and having a simple breakfast, Xue Chen said when he got up: "I'll leave tomorrow." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
After Xue Chen walked away, Edward also put down his knife and fork, frowned slightly, and sighed, thinking that he couldn't keep it after all.
If before yesterday, he really wanted to keep Xue Chen, then after experiencing the frightening moment last night when he was almost beaten by the Coast Guard, his desire has reached its peak. Dawson is his most valued subordinate.
Even more important than his eldest son John in his eyes, but now in his heart, ten Dawsons are not as good as one Xue Chen!
He has thought of all the ways he could think of. As a young man, what he is most passionate about is nothing more than money and beauty. However, tens of millions of dollars worth of antiques can be easily taken away, but they were returned to him. This shows that the other party has no intention of doing anything.
Not short of money!
And he even proposed to use his daughter Jessica and the future family business as bargaining chips, but it still didn't work, so what else can be done?
When Jessica saw her father's expression, she understood what he was thinking at the moment. She thought about it and said, "Dad, I don't think it is possible to keep him completely."
"Well, I already know." Edward shook his head.
Dawson and John Kermeon both stopped eating.
"Dad, I have an idea to give him the house on the Las Vegas Strip." Jessica's eyes flickered and she said seriously.
"Huh?" Edward looked at his daughter in surprise and motioned to continue.
But Jessica's eldest brother John shouted, looking very excited, and said: "Jessica, are you crazy? Since you can't keep this person, why should you give him something for nothing, or the Las Vegas Tower?"
Gus's house, do you know that the house is worth four million dollars?"
That house is the private property of the Kermeon family. It is located on the main road of Las Vegas, the miracle city in the desert, and is also the most prosperous street. It is a three-story residential building with five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
It is a high-end mansion with a garden and swimming pool, worth four million US dollars.
Edward is busy with his affairs, and Jessica is not greedy for enjoyment, so only John, who often goes to Las Vegas, comes in and out of the house, and often brings some new friends with him. Every time a new friend follows him into the house,
, would make a sound of admiration and admiration, which made him very satisfied. Therefore, when he heard that his sister planned to give the house to an outsider, he immediately became unhappy.
"John, shut up! Listen to Jessica!" Edward scolded his eldest son. As soon as he looked at John's look, he knew what the other person was thinking, and he felt a little impatient. Why was he so angry?
What about a son who doesn’t make progress or achieve anything, and only cares about having fun?
Jessica ignored her eldest brother, but lowered her head slightly, her eyes flashing with brilliance, and said: "Dad, I know him better than any of you, and I have spent a lot of experience
I went to investigate and get to know him. As far as I know, he is very good to his friends. For example, he also has his own business in that city, which is a shop selling antiques. I think he can make a lot of money on his own with his ability.
But he cooperated with another very ordinary person and did not abandon him, just because that person was his friend."
"So I think, even if he is destined not to be your subordinate, he can be a friend. Maybe one day we really encounter some troubles and go to him as a friend. He may not refuse. This is like investing.
, and I think it is a worthwhile investment.”
"Well, that makes sense." Edward nodded affirmatively. A four-million-dollar mansion is indeed expensive and a big investment. But if you really get a return, then it is unimaginable.
, just like last night, I avoided spending the rest of my life in a prison cell and saved the billion-dollar industry I built.
"I think father, you must have had a lot of contact with Chinese people. They attach great importance to the concept of home. If you want to have a home, you must have a house. Once you give him the house in Las Vegas,
, that is his other home. I think he will come here more often. In this way, we will have more contact time. Isn’t it easier to ask him for help if there are difficult things to solve in the future?
?" Jessica analyzed clearly and said.
After listening to his daughter's opinions and thoughts, Edward felt more and more that what he said made sense. To put it bluntly, what he valued was that Xue Chen's extraordinary ability could handle some things that were difficult for ordinary people to solve, and this kind of thing was still relatively rare.
, his business has been going smoothly over the years, and something that makes him frown may not happen once a year, and what happened last night was the first time.
So since you can't stay as a subordinate for a long time, you can change your strategy and become friends. As long as the relationship is strengthened deep enough, you can only speak when you really need it.
"Okay, Jessica, I will do as you say and give him the house in Las Vegas." Edward made his decision immediately.
John Kermeon, who was sitting next to him, moved his mouth, but in the end said nothing. It was clear that he had almost zero say in the family, and what he said would be in vain, and he would be scolded by his father.
At noon, Xue Chen learned about this, and Edward offered to give him a house in Las Vegas, not far from Carson.
"Xue Chen, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I might still be detained in the interrogation room of the Coast Guard, undergoing examination and interrogation, and it would be even worse in the future, instead of sitting at home and enjoying coffee comfortably.
"Edward sat on the sofa, put down the coffee in his hand, and looked at Xue Chen and said.
Gifting a house? Xue Chen agreed without much thought. As Edward said, this is a reward for him. He is not a person who regards money as dirt. There is no reason to refuse a gift that should be given, and the house is not smuggled.
The antiques will bring him subsequent troubles, so of course he will not pretend to be noble and refuse.
Seeing that Xue Chen accepted it happily, Edward smiled and nodded, then called Jessica and ordered him to accompany Xue Chen to Las Vegas to see the house and change the property owner.
Xue Chen and Jessica walked out of the villa together. There was already a Mercedes Benz and its driver waiting in front of the door.
"Where is your luggage? Was it left in the room?" Jessica asked. He remembered that Xue Chen came with a small handbag containing his passport, identity information and a simple change of clothes, because just now
Xue Chen had already said in the living room that he would return to China directly in Las Vegas, so he would definitely take everything with him.
"Uh, I haven't left anything behind. I've already taken it with me. Let's go." Xue Chen replied vaguely and got into the car first.
Of course, his luggage had already been thrown into the space created by Yutong by using his new ability. Since there was such a safe, convenient and fast storage box, he naturally wanted to make good use of it.
Edward, who came out to see them off, stared at each other and made eye contact with his daughter Jessica. Both of them were surprised and realized that the luggage they carried with them must have been destroyed by some kind of antiques like those that disappeared and reappeared.
Covered by magical abilities.
As for what this ability is, the two of them have many guesses, but after all, they are just guesses and cannot be confirmed, but they must be very extraordinary and magical.
"Oh, this kind of ability is just for smuggling. It's a pity, it's such a pity." Edward watched the car drive out of the manor and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
After getting in the car, Xue Chen thought of returning to China after a trip to Las Vegas, and he suddenly felt happy. Whether it was Xiangjiang or the upcoming Las Vegas, it was a super city that attracted much attention in the world.
, the prosperity and development are not comparable to Haicheng, but in his eyes, Haicheng is the only one.
"You can close your eyes and rest for a while. It will take about an hour and a half to drive there." Jessica said.
"Yeah." Xue Chen moved his body and found a comfortable position, ready to take a nap. But just when he was about to close his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the woman beside him taking out a notebook and a book from his bag.
Pick up a pen and start writing and drawing while thinking about it.
He could tell at a glance that on the plane from Xiangjiang, this woman used this notepad to analyze him and speculate on his abilities.
The notebook was placed on her tight and elastic legs. Jessica lowered her head and frowned slightly, obviously thinking about it. She held it in her right hand and wrote something faster and slower.
"It's written..."
Xue Chen was somewhat interested and wanted to see what he wrote, so he directly activated his eagle eye ability and could read the English in the notebook clearly.
"What is the ability to make an object disappear quickly... and then reappear again?"
"Did the object become transparent? No, there are so many antiques, even if they are transparent, it is impossible to carry them around."
"Is it possible to reduce the size of a large object?! It is easier to carry..."
Watching Jessica taking notes and ruling out and speculating on his new abilities, Xue Chen raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth. (To be continued)
