The Luxury of Discount King

Chapter 16 Bet

Adrian even lit up a cigar and took a whiff of it. Then he said, "Young man, it's never a shame to be

poor. But disguising as the rich while you are poor will be quite humiliating! I know you might just

purchase one or two apartments. But if you still brag that you got 92 in total, that would be quite

awkward!"

Obviously, both of them didn't believe that Conrad could afford the whole building.

"Well, what if I do?"

Conrad glanced at Adrian, an obese middle-aged man, who looked ugly with his big belly. His suit

couldn't even fit his body as some of the buttons of it were off and there was even no hair left on his

head. He looked awful and even a bit funny.

"If you do have 92 apartments in total, I will eat all the certificates! And what if you don't?" Adrian

"Then I will eat 92 certificates as well." Conrad felt quite interesting as he really wanted to see how this

man was going to eat the certificates. So he made the bet and then threw the key of his Lamborghini to

Amara, who still stood beside. He told her to bring over the box in his car.

Amara soon ran out and returned with a big heavy box.

"What are you doing?" Manager warned Conrad, "If you want to mess around, I am calling the security

guard!"

Conrad placed the box on the table and opened it, where there lay a pile of red certificates. Then he

said to Adrian, "Help yourself! Do you need some seasoning?"

"What?"

Adrian was stunned and took out a few from the box. He noticed they were all Property Ownership

Certificates indeed. He then opened them one by one and checked them carefully. He was really

surprised to find that the apartment numbers were all consecutive. And they were all the apartments of

the Residence Building No.5 in this community.

"They must be fake! Manager Berry, come to check them all!"

Then, Adrian also asked someone to check the verification of those certificates.

Manager Berry was also quite confused. He then took over the certificates and checked them one by

one. Though it was really hard for him to believe it, they were still indeed verified as all information

about the company and numbers on certificates conformed to the database.

"How could that be possible? When was the whole building sold out?"

As the manager of the sales department, Manager Berry should be informed in advance. He

immediately turned to the accounting department to confirm the information and he was told that they

did receive the sum of money transferred in the morning, and the total of which was more than 100

million.

"No way! This young man is a super billionaire?" Manager Berry was totally rendered stunned on spot.

But since the purchase of the whole building was confirmed, it meant to be a great bonanza for

Manager Berry as he could get a big bonus, which was exactly offered by this nice-looking young man

standing right in front of him.

"Mr. Porter, I am so sorry to slight you just now! Please forgive me!" Then he turned to look at other

staffs and shouted, "Serve this gentleman the best seat and the best tea! Bring over the top-quality Pi

Lo Chun tea in my office here! Now!"

At this moment, all staffs in the sales office were busy doing their best to serve Conrad. Some of them

were getting a settee for him. Some of them were making tea and bringing fruits and refreshments

while some of them were fanning for Conrad as if he were the emperor of the kingdom.

After all, Conrad did the most incredible thing they had ever known—he just bought the whole building!

"Hold on!" Conrad stopped them from fawning and then he continued, "But now I want to see you to eat

all the certificates, Mr. Cook!"

Since the purchase was confirmed and so did all the certificates. Conrad did win the bet and Adrian

needed to eat all certificates according to it.

Conrad then threw the pile of certificates in his front and beckoned him to do as required.

Adrian immediately snuffed the cigar and smiled awkwardly, "Well, I don't think it's a good idea. You

know, since the certificates are so important and I am afraid it might bother you if I do so."

"It's okay." Conrad sat on the settee casually, "Don't worry. I can go through the procedure again on my

own."

"Well, I am sorry I have to go to deal with some business." Adrian then figured out an excuse and stood

up to leave.

Manager Berry still asked tentatively, "Mr. Cook, what about the ten apartment you mentioned?"

"Well, you know, I have some problems of my budgets. Let's see another day." Adrian hurried to leave

as he felt really embarrassed.

Commonly speaking, Adrian should be treated with great respect as he planned to buy ten apartments

in total. But he was completely outdone by Conrad, who just purchased a whole building with 100

million. He felt really humiliated to stay here even for one more second.

Of course, Conrad didn't plan to force him to eat the certificates. He just really hated him for being so

arrogant. Since he ran away, he would just let it go.

Conrad made a salesman put all certificates back to the box and send them back to his car. Then he

returned to the reception room.

All staffs including Manager Berry followed behind Conrad with great respect as if a high-rank official

came for inspection.
