Chapter 548 The Reason

Kolby rushed out of the room. Obviously, he was not able to find Gerald. He was anxious.

He was naturally not afraid of Universe Group. The headquarters of Universe Group was not in the South but in Sacramento. In the South, Universe Group was an outsider.

The cooperation with Prosplin Group was only a key point for Universe Group to open the Southern market.

This time, Kolby took advantage of the small mistakes of Universe Group. He even took the initiative to create some small mistakes and wanted to take the initial investment of Universe Group. He did not think that the people of Universe Group could do anything to him.

By the way, he also had some evidence that Universe Group had made some mistakes. He thought that Universe Group had no power in the South.

Therefore, Kolby was not scared of Universe Group at all. He thought that Leandro could only compromise.

However, just now, he received a phone call. It was a phone call from Conrad Hewlett, who had the highest status in the business industry in the South.

Conrad might not be the richest person in the South, but he was indeed the most respected person. Even the rise of Kolby's group was closely related to Conrad. Most of the rich people showed their respect to Conrad.

On the phone, Conrad scolded Kolby, saying that Kolby was out of the line.

Kolby hurriedly ran down, but the receptionist told him that the person who came to find him was actually from Universe Group.

Kolby did not know why Leandro was able to contact Conrad. At this time, Kolby was helpless.

"Mr. Barry... It was you who gave the order. You said that you wouldn't meet the people of Universe Group." Kolby returned to the office building with a dark face. At this time, the receptionist hurriedly took the initiative to say.

She knew that Kolby was so angry. If she did not take the initiative to say, Kolby would probably vent his anger on her.

When Kolby heard this, his face became even darker. He took a deep look at the receptionist and snorted. Then he turned and walked upstairs. At the same time, he took out his phone and made a phone call with respect.

The receptionist was stunned!

Kolby's actions just now undoubtedly proved that what Gerald said before was not bragging

If she really made a bet with Gerald just now, Gerald would win.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look outside. Naturally, Gerald wasn't there.

Gerald drove to attend Claude's wedding. On the way, Gerald's phone rang. He saw an unknown number.

"Hello!" Gerald smiled and answered the phone. "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is it Mr. Kenneth?" A low voice came from the phone. "I am Kolby from Prosplin Group."

"Oh. You don't want to meet anyone from Universe Group, right?" Gerald smiled. Then he asked, "What's up?"

Kolby had the urge to curse. He thought, you were the one who came to find me!

Kolby quickly said, "That was a misunderstanding. The receptionist made a mistake. I have already fired her. May I ask why did you come to meet me?"

Gerald touched his nose and cursed in his heart. Then, he said lightly, "Actually, it's nothing. Now that you know that I came to find you on behalf of Universe Group, you should know my purpose. You actually want to privately take possession of the investment. You are quite bold."

Kolby smiled bitterly and said, "This..... Mr. Kenneth, this is indeed my fault. I will return all the initial investment of Universe Group to you. Can you please forgive me?"

"Return it to us?" Gerald chuckled and said, "If I didn't come to find you, if I didn't ask someone for help, you would have taken the money, right? Do you think it can be settled so easily?"

Kolby paused for a moment, and then quickly asked, "Then I..."

Gerald said lightly, "Let me tell you what we want. Since there is an agreement, it is unreasonable. for you to break the agreement for some random reason. This project must be taken down by our group and the price must be lower than before."

Kolby was stunned. He was silent for a long time before he said, "Mr. Kenneth, I will compensate you with some more money. Do you think it is okay? We have already signed a contract with other companies. There is no way to give the project to you."

"I don't care. I have already told you about my request. As for whether you will do it or not, it is your problem. Since you have done the wrong thing first, you must bear the consequences. We won't take responsibility. Think about it yourself. I will stay here for about three days," Gerald said lightly.

He was about to hang up the phone.

At this time, Kolby hurriedly said, "Mr. Kenneth, in fact, Mr. Hanson and I used to be very good friends. The reason why I broke the agreement this time is also that I have a hard time!" "Oh?" Gerald's expression changed. "Tell me, what trouble do you have?"

"I..." Kolby smiled bitterly and added, "The scenic spot is actually an island very close to the South. Universe Group and my company have already developed half of it. But not long ago, a person found me. He seemed to own a foreign company. They used the lives of my whole family as a threat. They offered a price of 4 billion dollars and asked me to give him the development rights of this island." "Your whole family?" Gerald frowned and asked, "Why didn't you call the police?"

"I... Mr. Kenneth, I'm just a businessman. There is no need to cause so much trouble. As for those people, I even suspect that they are not human. They are too terrifying. I personally saw one of them smash the table in my office in front of me! I do not dare to provoke them. In addition, the price is also very tempting. That is why I compromised."

"What?" Gerald touched his nose and said, "Then show me their information."

"Mr. Kenneth, I advise you not to provoke these people. I have no choice," Kolby gritted his teeth and said.

"I will decide after reading their information. Give me the information about their company and those people," Gerald said calmly.

"Alright!" Kolby nodded.

Gerald hung up the phone.

"What's going on?" Jolie did not quite understand.

Gerald let out a long breath and smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, those people are from Sin City. Moreover, to be able to offer such a price, I'm afraid that only people with high status in Sin City can do it."
