Chapter 888: Showdown
Among the five bodyguards behind him, there is a mysterious identity. It was a master warrior borrowed from General Elevant, and over the years, Old Baker had given the fat pig no less benefits. Now, naturally, is the time to demand something in return from him. As for the strong man recommended by Elliphant, Old Baker certainly wouldn't take it lightly. Before the invitation, he asked Raiden to try him, but Raiden couldn't hold up for even a minute under the hands of others.
The elder Baker regarded it as his trump card and took it with him tonight. This strongman was naturally used to deal with Horn. It's just that Horn is a legendary powerhouse who once entered the Underworld Star after all, even if he hasn't seen him wield a knife or a gun in all these years, Old Baker doesn't dare to take it lightly. The strong man said that he had five points, but when he came to him, there were only three points left. But the certainty of having three points to suppress Horn is already worth his fight.
With the venue of the negotiation set in the casino tonight, Baker Sr. may not have the idea of taking a big gamble. When Horn took over the family and was not a legend, he had already gambled. As a result, he lost, and the price of losing was decades of dormancy and the lives of his three sons. Today, if he loses the bet, there will probably be no more old Baker in the world.
But I'm not going to lose. Old Baker's triangular eyes were full of fierce light, and he was arranged openly and secretly, coupled with the trump card behind him, Old Baker asked himself if he was fully prepared.
Filled with determination, he walked into the room that Tyre had prepared for the negotiations tonight.
The room is not big, but it looks exquisite. There is a partition at the entrance, and a golden sailboat is placed in the center to decorate. There was a row of couches on each side, and the lobby director, who was blocked by lightning a few steps away, told Old Baker to the effect that his bodyguards could only stay here. As for the hall, it can only be accompanied by the head of security, Raiden. Old Baker glanced at the master disguised as a bodyguard, who couldn't see his expression even in his sunglasses. It's just that he is against it, and Old Baker thinks he has no problem. So he brought thunder and lightning into the hall, and the hall was brightly lit, and the extra tables and chairs were all moved. Under the crystal lamps hanging high there was a long black table, a few chairs, and nothing else.
Old Baker said "shabby" in his heart, and saw Tyre Hangerlang, who was still with an explosive hairstyle, coming over. From afar, he stretched out his hand to Old Baker and said, "Dear Uncle Baker, you are finally here." I thought you had changed your mind temporarily. ”
Unsurprisingly, Tyre stopped Raiden. Muna's head of security never paid attention to who the other party was, and Old Baker coughed dryly, and Raiden turned sideways. Tyre didn't have the heart to hug the old man, and instead handed Old Baker a cigar and blinked, "It's all arranged?" ”
"What?" Old Baker pretended to be confused.
Tyre laughed and didn't ask any more.
As soon as the old man sat down at one end of the long table, he heard the sound of Edric's laughter outside, and neither Tyr nor Old Baker were surprised that the old god was sitting on the chair. Moments later, Edric and Horn arrive together, the only difference between the two is that Horn is followed by Anna, and Edric doesn't even have a bodyguard.
The four of them were finally seated.
Old Baker looked at Edric and sneered, "Fatty, you are also here to join in the fun?" ”
"Can't you? You old man are allowed to come, but I am not allowed to be there. If we have to negotiate anyway, then I have to negotiate too. Edric pulled a sausage out of his jacket pocket, tore open the package, and devoured it.
Old Baker rolled his eyes: "What are you talking about?" ”
"After your old thing dies, the industry will be mine." Edric sighed, "This thing is really unpalatable, like pig food." Hey Tyre, I'm hungry. ”
Tyre said angrily, "Got you a steak?" ”
"Three copies!" Edric held out three fat fingers.
Old Baker was about to curse Edric when Horn coughed lightly and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." ”
The three elders suddenly quieted down, and Old Baker, who was so excited that his fingers trembled a second ago, was already gloomy at this moment, and he just looked at Horn and sneered. Horn crossed his fingers on the table and said to Old Baker, "We were all invited by Uncle Baker tonight, so Uncle Baker, what do you have to say?" ”
"It's simple." Old Baker bared his yellow front teeth: "Horn, you have also been the head of the house for decades. Isn't it time to move your ass, for example, to let Uncle Baker have a good time? ”
Horn laughed: "Uncle, you have half a foot in the coffin, I think this matter is forgotten." Since my uncle gets straight to the point, then I won't beat around the bush. If Uncle promises to quit Beth Kod tonight and never appear again, I can spare you. Otherwise, Uncle won't have to go anywhere after tonight. ”
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Not to mention Old Baker, even Tyre and Edric were surprised. Horn was a straightforward showdown, skipping the warm and affectionate "before" of the nobles' negotiations. play", it really made them uncomfortable. Old Baker's eyes widened even more, he was direct enough, but Horn was even more ruthless than him. Directly out of the conditions you roll, or die here.
How domineering!
Old Baker suddenly fell to his feet and said sharply, "Horn, do you really think you are a great character? When I really don't know about your arrangements, and you transfer in the ground forces, don't I have them? Or do you honor Edric's fat pig? ”
"Edric, of course, is on my side." Horn said indifferently.
Old Baker laughed, "Yes, without you, there would be no Edric." Right, fat pig. The old man looked at the fat man, who for some reason was silent. Anna, who was standing behind Horn, changed her face, but before she could ask, Horn tapped her fingers: "Edric, what did Old Baker promise you?" ”
Edric sighed and said, "It's nothing, he just threw half of the property in the eighth district to me." ”
At this time, the steak came, and Edric picked up the knife and fork and ate it unceremoniously: "Old Baker's condition is that I will not help each other in this negotiation." Then there's teaming up with him to stop your ground army from coming to the casino, and that's all there is to it. ”
Horn smiled: "You, you're really money-hungry." Half of Old Baker's estate bought you? Aren't you afraid that he will lose tonight? ”
"I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid." Edrick showed a sincere smile: "But Thiel also made a bet, and I thought it was worth betting, so I bet." ”
"Oh?" Horn looked at Tyre again, leaned back slightly, and said, "That means that the three elders are on the same line now?" ”
Old Baker laughed and stood up, "Horn, you don't have a chance to win. Edric plus Tyre, three-on-one, what do you think there is to rely on? ”
Horn shook his head and said, "Uncle Baker, do you know why I kept you back then?" ”
"Hell knows."
"Because I knew then that you were no match for me at all. Not before, and even more so now. Horn said as a matter of course.
