Chapter 1493 Ten Million
Staring at Zayden, Levant remarked with a chuckle, “You like the shirt? It’s unique, for I customized it just for Luke. If you really like it, ask your daddy to pay, and I’ll have Luke sell it to you.”
“How much is it?” Zayden inquired, blinking his big eyes.
“Make the call first. I’ll tell you when you’ve gotten through to your daddy.”
Zayden truly wanted the shirt Luke was wearing, so he obediently did as Levant said and phoned Davin.
“Daddy—”
“Why did you phone me, Zayden? Are you sick of living at Imperial Garden and want me to go and drive you home?”
“No. I want a shirt with a cartoon and need you to pay for it.”
“Okay. I’ll pay for it as long as you like it. How much is it?”
At that question, Zayden looked up at Levant.
In response, Levant held out a finger. “Ten million.”
“Ten million,” Zayden repeated.
On the other end of the phone, Davin was shocked to hear that sky-high price and even suspected that he had misheard it. “What did you just say? Is it ten million or a thousand?”
“It’s ten million, Daddy!”
“Ten million? What kind of shirt did you take a fancy to? Is it made of gold? How could there possibly be such an expensive shirt?”
“There is! It’s a shirt with a particularly cool cartoon on it. It’s really nice, Daddy!”
“You can’t buy it even if it’s nice. You’re out of your mind to wear a shirt costing ten million at such a young age! Even I haven’t worn that many shirts of that price!”
Hearing Davin’s roar, Levant guffawed. “That proves that you’re a pauper, Davin! Since your son likes it, just buy it for him. I designed it painstakingly and especially had someone custom make it, so it’s definitely worth that price!”
“Levant? It’s you? You’re really despicable that you would even dupe a kid! You’re simply unscrupulous, an absolute demon!” Davin bellowed.
“Hey, there’s no duping involved. Business is all about one being willing to sell and the other being willing to buy. Your son wants to buy it, and I only agreed to sell it to him for ten million because of you. You should be thanking me!”
“Pah! I’m never going to thank you! Just you wait. I’m coming over right away! I’ll see what kind of shirt it is that you dare ask for such a price!”
“Sure! I’ll be waiting.”
After Levant hung up the phone, Tiffany turned to him and sighed. “Why did you have to use such a method just to get him here to shoot the breeze with you? He’ll definitely settle the score with you as soon as he arrives.”
“That gets him here fastest. He’ll certainly be here within twenty minutes!”
Sure enough, Davin arrived at Imperial Garden in his sports car sixteen minutes later. Getting out of the car, he walked toward the living room in a towering rage.
The second he caught sight of Levant sipping tea at the semi-curved brown couch, he stalked over to him briskly. “What shirt costs ten million? Show me so that I, too, can have a look at it!”
Levant languidly put the teacup in his hand down and called out, “Luke, come over here and let him have a look at it!”
Luke promptly walked over.
Davin bored his eyes into the boy. “What’s the meaning of this?”
“The shirt is on my son.”
After scrutinizing the shirt, Davin frowned.
“This shirt costs ten million? There’s nothing special about it. There’s only an ugly robot printed at the back.”
“Mr. Davin, this isn’t an ugly robot. This is the invincible Iron Man!”
“Even so, it’s not worth ten million, is it?”
“Why wouldn’t it be worth that price when my son has worn it, and it’s one of a kind?”
Stumped, Davin scoffed, “You’d better not sell it since your son has worn it. Instead, put it up for exhibition at the museum. After thousands of years, it’ll be even more valuable than ten million.”
“If you can get the museum to accept it, I’m willing to put it up for exhibition.”
“I-If I could do that, I’d put you up for exhibition at the museum to be displayed as a monster!”
When Tiffany saw that the two of them were getting out of hand, she interrupted them, “All right, that’s enough. Stop bickering. He actually wants you to come and chat with him, not to sell you a shirt.”
“Even if he wants to sell it to me, I’m not buying it!”
“I want to buy it, Daddy!”
