Chapter 171 Andy’s Invitation

Under Harold’s lead, Christopher returned to the hospital’s entrance. A shimmering white Lamborghini that wasn’t there before grabbed his attention. Standing beside it in deference was a man in a black tuxedo and red tie. When he saw Christopher, he smiled. Christopher figured that the Lamborghini could be almost as expensive as the Aston Martin that Harold owned. “The one standing next to Mr. Myers must be Mr. Christopher Yard. My name is Robin Dune. President Dune sent me to show you to Marriott Hotel.” With a bow, Robin rested his right hand on his chest as he introduced himself. With a faint smile, Christopher nodded. Just when he was about to enter the Lamborghini, Scarlett extended her fair arms to grab on his arm. Taken aback by the gesture, Christopher quickly realized what she was up to. “Right. Tell Ms. Sears that I won’t be meeting her this afternoon. She’ll understand.” However, Scarlett pouted before a conniving look crept onto her face. “I know Ms. Sears will understand your absence. What I’m trying to say is that I want to go to the hotel with you. I came to have fun after all.” After some thought, Christopher nodded. “Sure, but don’t give me trouble. Otherwise, I’ll send you back to The Serenade.”...... Scarlett nodded in exhilaration, which was evident in her expression. She even latched onto Christopher’s arm, much to his surprise. Resigned to being her escort, Christopher opened the door to allow her to get into the car before him, while Robin smiled as he started the car. With that, they left for Marriott Hotel. ... When Christopher and Scarlett went to Marriott Hotel, something else was going on in a rather lavish cardroom in Southwest District. A young man in a white shirt and white hat was puffing on a cigarette while facing the window. Standing behind him were a few people in different colored shirts. “Did you just say Jacob was arrested by the police after they dispatched all of their forces including the armed police?” The man named Joshua Sanders frowned as a look of astonishment fleeted across his gaze, his thoughts unreadable. “Yes, Boss. Jacob fought with someone over a woman. That person must have ties to Noah, or else Jacob wouldn’t have gotten into this mess.” Looking menacing, a man with his hair dyed red and green stepped forth to fill Joshua in on the details.Upon hearing that, Joshua snubbed out his cigarette forcefully in the white ashtray beside him. While keeping a straight face, he ordered calmly, “Nobody gets away unscathed after harming my men. Maurice, I’ll let you handle this. I want that person dead by tomorrow. Make sure you leave no trace.” Maurice Green smirked as soon as he got his orders. “Don’t you worry, Boss. From what I gathered, the man’s name is Christopher Yard. Although that guy is backed by Noah, there is nothing that Noah could do as long as I am discreet.” Joshua nodded as he stared at a faraway object outside the window. All of a sudden, he seemed to recall something. “Remind our partner to act quickly. Get the deal over and done with. Even with my family behind us, I can’t guarantee that we’re safe at all times.” ...... Maurice nodded with a quirky smile on his face. “There’s nothing to worry about, Boss. I already gave them the instructions. After all, we’re the ones paying them, so they won’t complain even if they’re feeling discontented.” Upon hearing that, Joshua nodded in satisfaction. Silence ensued. Some time later, both Christopher and Scarlett let out a cry of awe when they arrived at Marriott Hotel. The building was at least eighty meters tall and boasted of the most lavish interior decorations in Brentwood. Under Robin’s lead, Christopher was brought to the top floor of the hotel, which was also the grandest place in the entire building. It wasn’t until they reached a room that Robin stopped walking. “Mr. Yard, this is where President Dune would like to dine with you. You may enter now.” As he spoke with a smile, Robin bowed to Christopher once again. With a nod, Christopher pushed open the door. As soon as he stepped into the room, he laid eyes on a golden table that was three meters long, as well as a middle-aged man sitting at the other side of the table. The room itself was decorated magnificently. With Christopher’s knowledge alone, he didn’t know how to describe the venue, for there were a lot of things that he had never seen before. The middle-aged man had a side part haircut, which was a relatively common hairstyle. The clothes he wore were, without a doubt, opulent. While his hands rested on the table, he was wearing a smile on his face when he studied Christopher with a look of admiration. “Hello, President Dune.” Christopher could sense that this president of Dune Enterprise was different from Harold. Compared to Harold, his demeanor was much more gentle. “Hello, Chris! If you don’t mind, we can have a meal first.” When Andy clapped his hands, one of the two men in identical suits behind him got the cue and went out immediately. When the man returned, he led a team of waiters who served them different delicacies on the golden table. At that moment, the aroma of the food filled the room, which was extremely enticing to Christopher and Scarlett. “President Dune, I bet that you didn’t invite us here only for a meal.” Christopher didn’t move, nor did Scarlett, who was sitting beside him as she blinked and observed Christopher without a word. “Haha. Cutting to the chase already, Chris? Since that’s the case, I’ll skip the pleasantries. Due to my busy schedule, I had Harold buy a set of Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup from you some time ago. After trying it out, I noticed that it was quite effective on me. Meanwhile, my father, who had eaten various delicacies throughout his life, could no longer eat anything. Checkups in hospitals yielded no results either. Therefore, I would like to ask you, who are skilled in the culinary arts, to cook some dishes that could possibly trigger his appetite once again. As long as you agree to it, I will offer you another three million, as well as this Platinum VIP card. With this VIP card, you can enjoy a ten percent discount on everything in any of the malls and companies that I own. There’s also two million in the card, which you can spend freely. So, what do you think about these terms?”
