The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1047

The fat man chuckled and said, “Master Jones, you really have a pair of eyes that seem to see through everything. I really admire that. There’s this small little thing… Didn’t Lush Cosmetics release the news publicly that if they can’t cure Stephen’s scar, she would shut down her business on her own? She and I are in the same industry, and those products of hers have certain effects on our company. So, I thought I could get Master Jones to help me with a favor to absorb Lush Cosmetics under my name. Once the deed is done, I’ll give you this sum!” The fat man put up a finger. Joshua frowned. “One hundred million?” The fat man smiled and nodded. “One hundred million!” Bam! Joshua slammed his palm on the table. The blow cracked the expensive antique table, and even the teapots and cups fell to the ground. The fat man’s jaw trembled. “Master Jones, this…” Joshua coldly snorted. “Franky Lee, do you take me for a fool? Giving me 100 hundred million, do you think I am a beggar? Do you think that I don’t know what Lush Cosmetics is? Their advertisement has reached almost the outside of my building. They’re basically a chicken that can lay golden eggs at this point! And you’re giving me just 100 million?!” Franky wouldn’t have known that Joshua already knew the value of Lush Cosmetics beforehand. His heart went cold, and he said, “Master Jones, then, you can name a figure.” Joshua stretched out his fingers. It indicated the number nine! “Nine hundred million? Okay, deal!” Franky said through gritted teeth. He also made scar removal products, but Lush Scar Removal Cream occupied the largest share in the cosmetics world right now. He had gotten hold of the product through his connections, and after using it, he had been shocked at how good the effect was. He was still in disbelief at how great it was. Compared to his products, his product was practically sh*t! It was easy to imagine that once the fame and confidence of Lush Cosmetics were established, it was only a matter of time before the people would abandon his Brilliant Ice Scar Removal Cream. So, he desperately needed to prevent the development of confidence in the Lush Cosmetics brand. Also, he was extremely jealous of the products made by Lush Cosmetics. Nine hundred million was fine. As long as he could control the products in Lush Cosmetics, the amount could easily be earned back. Joshua sneered. “Who said it was nine hundred million? Once you take in Lush Cosmetics, I want 90% of your company’s shares.” “What? Master Jones, you… You’re joking, right?” “I am Joshua Jones. I never joke.” “Master Jones, this… That’s impossible.” “Then, you might not be able to walk out of my Amaryllis Tower.” Franky trembled all over. His face paled. He now regretted asking Joshua to help deal with Lush Cosmetics. It was impossible to negotiate with the villain and expect them not to profit themselves, and he had threaded into dangerous grounds. However, apart from agreeing to Joshua’s conditions, he didn’t have any other choice. *** On the riverbanks of the Grand River, the evening breeze blew slowly. There were occasional sounds of the water waves hitting the shore, and it was relaxing to listen to. Amaryllis Tower sat on the northeast corner of the most prosperous Astronomy Square, and it was surrounded by pedestrians walking everywhere. And every person who walked in this area would gaze up at Amaryllis Tower in admiration. Unfortunately, Amaryllis Tower was not a building that was easily accessible to just anyone. It had a membership system, and an ordinary membership card cost one million per annum. There were rumors that the highest rank membership card, Supreme VIP Card, required a membership fee of a hundred million a year, and it was unclear what sort of services came with it. Very soon, Alex and the rest arrived. “To enter Amaryllis Tower, the six of us have spent a total of six million on buying the membership cards. Since you don’t have the cards, just stay outside and wait to hear from us. If there is any abnormality, inform me at once.” After he finished talking to Anna, he took his group of people in. He didn’t even once glance at Alex as though he was invisible. Once they had entered the building, Anna said, “Are we really going just to wait here? Those people really don’t know their stuff. They can’t even see a master like you standing right in front of them.” Alex shook his head. “With Travis’ strength, I’m afraid it won’t go well for them inside. Let’s also go in! It just so happens that I have something to ask Joshua Jones anyway.” “Huh? But, we don’t have the membership cards!” “Why do we need that?” “We’ll just go straight in?”
