Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 501: Chapter 504: He Wants to Use Schemes on the Little Maniac

...

Country A. K Group Headquarters suddenly received a telephone call from Country F.

Lucifer, using the alias Mr. Roberts, specifically requested a batch of arms and expressed his hope to personally discuss the price with their President. The President would personally negotiate the details only if the arms purchase amounted to over one billion US dollars. For orders less than one billion US dollars, other persons in charge at K Group would handle the negotiation.

Mr. Roberts, as soon as he spoke, stated his intention to purchase arms totaling 2.5 billion US dollars and, as a sign of good faith, paid a 50% deposit.

K Group claimed that President Thomas Shannon’s schedule was fully booked for the time being and could only arrange a meeting in 10 days.

Lucifer, holding his mobile phone, sneered. ”Would it be convenient to disclose your President’s current location? I can go meet him in person; that would also be acceptable.”

”Apologies, Mr. Roberts, but our President’s whereabouts are always kept confidential. Please be patient.”

”Very well, then I shall wait for 10 days.”

After hanging up the telephone, Lucifer smirked. Ten days...

This meant that for these ten days, Thomas Shannon would be with that woman.

As for where they are, that will require careful investigation.

At worst, in 10 days, Thomas Shannon would appear before him to discuss the arms deal.

If he brings that woman with him, all the better. If not, I don’t mind expending a bit more manpower to investigate.

Outside Shannons’ Manor, men had already been secretly deployed in hiding.

The moment Thomas Shannon returns to the manor with the maniac, he will instantly receive word.

I must go see for myself if the maniac Thomas Shannon brought back is my Cecilia Branford.

If it really is Cecilia Branford, why hasn’t she been willing to return?

Did something happen to her?

Or... is this just another one of her thrilling games?

On the other end, after the K Group person in charge hung up the telephone with Mr. Roberts, he immediately contacted Charlie River.

”Mr. River, an order has come in that requires the President to personally handle the detailed negotiations.”

”What order?”

”It’s from a Mr. Roberts of Country F...”

Charlie River quickly reviewed the important political figures of Country F in his mind, including the royal family; there was no one named Mr. Roberts.

So, who could it be, spending such a huge sum to purchase arms?

”Mr. River, we’ve already unilaterally arranged with Mr. Roberts for the President to meet him for detailed talks in 10 days. Do you foresee any issues with this?”

Charlie River raised a hand to press his brow. ”You’ve done very well. The Young Master is unavailable right now. In 10 days, the Young Master will handle these matters.”

The Young Master, who was still in the desert, should have enough time to play for 10 days.

Charlie River couldn’t help but worry about how much longer the Young Master intended to stay in the desert.

He had taken great pains for everyone else to evacuate quietly during that night’s sandstorm, leaving only the Young Master and the maniac behind. This was tantamount to risking their lives.

Charlie River had been the first to object, but his objections were insignificant in Young Master Shannon’s eyes.

Young Master Shannon rarely changed his mind about decisions he had made.

Moreover, this time he was set on playing mind games with the maniac, making it even more unlikely he would change his mind.

All Charlie River could do was remain outside the desert, ready to provide support and rescue at any moment.

Several helicopters were already on standby outside the desert, just waiting for Young Master Shannon’s order.

...

「In the desert」

Thomas Shannon lay resting for quite a while.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, and the scorching temperature had also begun to decrease considerably.

Thomas Shannon sat up.
