Chapter 851
”Chuck, are you okay?” Yolanda noticed that Chuck was stunned. It was just a cup that broke. She could always just get another one for Chuck.
”It’s nothing, it’s nothing…” Chuck muttered in a daze. He began to wonder. What happened to him?
”Let me clean it.” Yolanda went to fetch a broom to clean the mess. Yet, Chuck was still in a daze. Therefore, she enquired, ”Are you under too much pressure? Were you scared just now?” That was plausible. After all, Yolanda knew how Chuck had not rested at all recently as he had been constantly discussing investment plans. Under such a tense situation, it was possible that he would be frightened out of the blue.
”No.” Returning to his senses, Chuck shook his head. The sluggishness he had just experienced was inexplicable.
”Then, shall I get the car ready downstairs?”
”Okay!”
Yolanda left and took the shards of the glass with her.
Chuck snapped out of his daze. “I really haven’t been sleeping well. That was why I got so scared when a cup fell down and broke,” Chuck thought to himself. Then, he let out a bitter laugh. After going down to the parking lot, Chuck got into Yolanda’s car. She had already agreed on a time with the owner of the hotel chain. All they needed to do was to go over and negotiate.
”Here’s the information! There are 361 hotels in this hotel chain and they have a market value of more than 30 billion! There are currently 300 hotels making a profit! Fifty hotels are in a breakeven state and the rest are running on a loss. All of them can be yours for 36 billion dollars!” That was the information about the hotel Yolanda had acquired overnight.
Analyzing the hotel, Chuck thought that it was not bad. It was a project worth investing in. When it came to controlling an operation, Yolanda had her own way of managing things. If she took over, making money would not be a problem! That was why Chuck had already planned to invest in the hotel.
”What do you think, Chuck?” Yolanda asked.
”It’ll do. When you see the hotel owner later, you can give him the money on the spot!” When it came to Chuck, he was an urgent man. After all, opportunities only stayed for a Meeting moment! In his opinion, if he didn’t seize an opportunity, it would be a loss for him.
”Okay. I’ve investigated this hotel before, it’s…”
”Pull over!” Chuck’s gaze suddenly turned cold. Yolanda was stunned. Nevertheless, she obediently pulled over on the side of the road.
”Let’s change seats!”
”Okay!” Yolanda didn’t understand why Chuck was behaving as such. However, she could only obey Chuck’s orders. Quickly, they switched seats. Then, Chuck slammed on the accelerator, forcing it to dash forward with a roar of the engine. Yolanda watched in bewilderment. Finally, she asked, ”Chuck, what’s wrong?”
”Someone is following us!” As combat skills developed, so did Chuck’s sixth senses. It was the basic attribute of being a combat expert. Hearing that, Yolanda was stunned! She hadn’t seen anything.
”We’ve been discovered!”
Meanwhile, Loomis was in another car. At the moment, he was frustrated. He had made a mental note of every single action Chuck had taken in the country. The success of the pharmaceutical factory, the popularity of the jewelry store, his other real estate property and how he was starting to gain success in movies too. He was jealous! So it turned out that Chuck was skilled in business too?
”It’s not a surprise! My strength is improving and so is his!” Frieda said coldly in the passenger seat.
”Then, are you confident that you can defeat him now?” Loomis regarded himself as a person rather well-versed in combat. However, he understood that there was still a huge gap between himself and Chuck! He had self-awareness when it came to that matter.
”Why should I be able to defeat him? I’m a killer now. I’ll assassinate him!” Frieda was ferocious to the extreme! Her endless career as an assassin had honed her. In other words, she thought that there was no need to fight bare-handed when she was equipped with a gun. After all, she was someone who would do anything to achieve her goal, instead of a person who took pride in asserting her superiority. It was enough to assassinate Chuck using a gun.
”That’s true. I just want Chuck to die miserably! We’re losing him!” Loomis fumed.
”That’s because you’re useless! Hurry up and chase him!” Frieda spat in intense disgust.
”It should be here! What are you going to do?” Loomis asked. Frieda got out of the car with a box in hand. It was her sniper rifle! She observed the environment.
”Go over to the other side!”
The two of them went up to the other side. On the roof, Frieda set up a sniper rifle. She locked the sniper lens and found Chuck.
Chuck and Yolanda had gone into the boss’s office and were talking.
”I found him!”
”Let me see! Haha, it’s him after all!” When Loomis saw Chuck, he became extremely excited.
”Open fire in a moment! Don’t kill him in a single shot. I want to see him die slowly!” Loomis demanded sadistically.
Frieda grunted in agreement.
Suddenly, Loomis received a call. Shortly, Loomis began laughing wildly.
Frieda frowned. “What’s the matter?”
“It’s something you’d never expect!” said Loomis, sneering.
“Never?!”
“Yes, did you know? Chuck’s mother, Karen, is dead!” Loomis wanted to burst into laughter. He couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“Karen is dead? How did she die?” Frieda was in high spirits. Having been in the United States for so long, how could Frieda not know how powerful Karen was? A mythical person like her could actually die?
“She died in a car accident. This is her retribution. God is punishing her for giving birth to a trashy son like Chuck. She must die for what she has done!”
Frieda finally smiled for the first time since she returned to the country. “That is really something I never expected! What a great death! She deserved it!”
Who did Chuck think he was without his mother? A wealthy heir? Frieda scoffed at the thought. He was nothing!
