Female Novel
Chapter 2029
“Yes, Boss." The man Abel called Haller grunted coldly as he put the gun away and stood next to Abel.
Pierre looked at the rogue looks on their faces and regretted not having two bodyguards by his side. Incomparison, he looked like he did not even qualify to talk to them.
"Mr. Pierre, what do you want to talk to me about?" Abel asked with a wide grin.
If it were not for Hera pestering him about Pierre threatening her, he would not have bothered comingover.
He was not afraid of Pierre, but he did not want Hera to fall into Pierre's hands. After all, she did looklike Kassy in certain places. It would be a shame if she was taken away by someone like Pierre.
"T Corporation got M Group's project. I suppose you're aware of it?" Pierre knew from today's incidentthat Abel was not a simple person.
Previously, he thought that he was just a thief who stole other people's trade secrets without being inthe public eye.
Only today did he realize that he was the one who had been underestimating Abel.
"I'm aware. You're referring to the bidding document situation, right?" Abel switched his sitting positionand casually folded his left leg over his right, not taking the man in front of him seriously.
"I've also asked about this. The bidding document given to you indeed belonged to T Corporation, butno one thought that Luke had prepared another copy that was a hundred times better than the onegiven to you. So, it was only natural that he got the project.
He originally thought that he could cause serious damage to Luke this time, but he did not expect thathe would have a card up his sleeve.
After he ended the call with Luca yesterday, he had asked two other of his subordinates in TCorporation.
They said that the bidding document they had been working on all this while was the one that was soldto Pierre.
This showed that Luca was not lying.
Luke really had his subordinates prepare a fake bidding document as bait to lure him in.
Although he was set up, he did not suffer much of a loss. All the loss was on Pierre, after all. However,he was still unconvinced.
He did not reveal any loopholes, but Luke continued to stay on guard. He did not hesitate to have all ofhis employees help prepare a fake bidding document, while he secretly completed one himself. It madehis plan a complete failure.
Pierre clenched his fist and almost threw a fit listening to Abel shift all the blame to someone else.
Haller reached for the gun in his pocket.
Pierre forcibly restrained himself. Even if he was capable, he still could not fight someone with a gun.
"Didn't your people double-check before stealing the bidding document?" he said through gritted teeth,trying hard to hold back the rage in him.novelbin
"Luke is one cunning fella. Who knew he could even deceive those under him? The bidding documenteveryone thought was going to be submitted was the one you got," Abel said with an innocent look onhis face.
He knew the actual reason why Pierre was looking for him, but it was impossible for him to take out themoney that had already entered his pocket.
Moreover, he needed to do big operations lately, which required more money.
"So, are you just going to leave it as is?" Pierre asked with veins bulging on his forehead. No matterwhat, this matter must be dealt with.
If he could not start with Abel, he would start with Luke.
He could not offend Abel as he had a gun, but what did Luke have?
Abel saw the wrath on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. "Otherwise, whatelse do you have in mind?"
"I don't expect you to be considerate enough to help me recover from the damage this caused me, but Iwant Luke dead!" Pierre started to have the desire to kill.
This was Russia, and it was not at all like home.
He did not bring many people with him here this time around, so if Abel were to help him, Luke may diein Russia.
He wanted Luke dead?
Abel raised his eyebrows, Pierre may not seem like much, but he sure knew how to talk big. Moreover,he also happened to share the same goal as him.
The only difference was that Pierre wanted Luke dead on the spot, whereas Abel wanted to destroyeverything Luke had little by little and let him die in despair.
"Do you have what it takes?" Abel did not try to hide the fact that he looked down on him.
Pierre clenched his fist as he was upset about being belittled, but the other party was indeed telling thetruth.
He did not have what it took to do it back home, and it was the same abroad.
"I might not, but you have what it takes. You can hold a gun here in Russia, so I suppose this is yourstronghold. Make me an offer. All I want is Luke's life."
"I can make you an offer and I can help you, but I can't guarantee that Luke will die." Abel took out acigar from his pocket and sniffed it.
"Why? You have people and even weapons, so why not?" Pierre looked at him with red eyes. If hecould not take Luke down, then what was the point of spending that money?
The rage that he had tried so hard to calm down got fired up again in an instant as he remembered thathe had spent a large sum on the bidding document as well, only for Luke to make a fool out of him.
Furthermore, he believed that Luke could tell that the bidding document he submitted was the one hiscompany had prepared.
Presumably, he was already under investigation by his people.
“You may not know this, but Luke has a lot of friends in Russia. One of them is Ray from theunderworld. You can investigate him. Two-thirds of the underworld territory in Russia belong to Ray.Although I have a stronghold here, there's no way I'll go head to head with them just for your money. IfRay decides to protect Luke, how much effort do you think I'll need to put in to take care of Luke? Canyou afford to pay that much money?" Abel analyzed the situation for him.
He needed the money right now, but he also had to make it clear to Pierre about the situation.
Not to mention, he never intended to confront Ray head-on this soon. After all, it was easier to getthings done in the shadows.
"How much money is enough?" asked Pierre.
Seeing how determined Pierre was, it seemed that Luke's scheme had made him lose his mind.Unexpectedly, Pierre could not stand it any longer, and this was even before Luke made him go insane.
His temperament was far worse than his brother, Percy's.
Abel took out his phone, entered a number, and handed it over to show him. "This is the price for takingaction without the guarantee of success."
Pierre looked at the number and frowned. "You can't guarantee success at such a high price?"
"Your task isn't the only one my people are dealing with, so I can't assign everyone to your task." Abelput away his phone.
Pierre asked again, "What about the price of a guaranteed success?"
"I'm not accepting this one." Abel shook his head.
"You're passing up the opportunity to make money?" Pierre was surprised.
"If you really have the money, you can ask other underworld forces in Russia and see which of themare willing to go up against Ray," Abel said indifferently.
