Chapter 734 What Goods Are Those
“Are you happy now?” Robert yelled. He looked distressed.
Arnold let him go and closed the box of cash before handing it to him. “Mr. Quincy, I was mistaken.”
Robert glared at him. “No one had ever hurt me in all my years in La Oriele. Arnold, how dare you do this to me? I’ll make you pay for what you did!”
However, Arnold smirked. “Even so, business still has to go on. I’ve brought goods from Wavery. Please name your price.”
Robert sat on the couch and looked at him contemptuously. “I have no reason to continue business with
you.”
“Is that so?” Arnold grabbed a bottle of liquor.
Robert frowned nervously. “What are you doing?”
Arnold smiled and filled a glass with liquor. “I know La Oriele doesn’t do this kind of business, but if people discovered your business outside, you would be doomed.”
“What do
you mean?”
“I mean, I haven’t done anything yet. But what do you think will happen if I send out this clue?”
Arnold and Mr. Vipera exchanged glances.
“All I need to do is send out a name list, and the authorities will come knocking.”
Robert panicked. “Arnold, are you threatening me into doing this business with you? Wayne will never forgive you for this!”
Arnold slowly sipped some liquor and clicked his tongue. “Worst comes to worst; I’ll have to drag Wayne into it. After all, I’m doomed anyway and have nothing to lose.”
Mr. Vipera suddenly spoke, “Have you forgotten what you promised, Wayne?”
“Of course not. It’s not because I’m unwilling to care for him when he’s old. Unfortunately, his subordinate. is dooming me.” Arnold’s gaze turned cold.
“You’re crazy! You’re utterly insane!” Robert stood up with the help of his walking stick. He headed for the door but turned around halfway there and pointed at Josie. “This woman is a ticking time bomb. You’re dooming yourself by getting involved with her!”
Seeing Robert pointing at her, Josie held Arnold’s arm and said coquettishly. “Arnold, he scolded me again.”
Josie’s bravery and wittiness amused Arnold. He turned to Robert and sneered, “Mr. Quincy, I’ll pretend nothing happened today. Furthermore, I’ll return another day to apologize properly and make it up to you. I hope we can be considerate of each other. What do you think?”
Those words fanned Robert’s already burning fury.
He stormed away in anger.

Mr. Vipera pointed at Arnold resentfully, but before he could say anything, Arnold said, “I’m sorry, but can you help me to take care of Wayne?”
Mr. Vipera was exasperated but could do nothing except leave with others.
Once everyone had left, Josie immediately let go of Arnold’s hand.
“Did you study acting in a drama school?” Arnold laughed despite his annoyance.
“What are the goods you mentioned?” Josie’s expression was solemn, She had heard their conversations and had a hunch about what they were saying.
Arnold’s smirk gradually faded. He lit a cigarette and replied, “What do you think?”
Josie stood up immediately. She grabbed a cushion and threw it at him. “You’re insane!”
Arnold remained still and did not seem to care about her outburst. “They can’t catch me without evidence.”
Josie felt anxious and did not know what to say. She had always thought Arnold was only competing with Dexter in Wavery. She did not expect him to dare to go this far.
Arnold took a drag of his cigarette and looked at her through the smoke. “Josie, you have seen it yourself. Too many people are pressuring me that I don’t have a choice.”
Josie shook her head and asked, “Who is this Wayne you were talking about?”
“I’ve never met him, but he is influential. I became his follower two to three years ago.”
Josie realized then that they had been dragged into a severe disaster.
