Chapter 36

Of course, the methods were somewhat dishonorable.

However, at this time,

Nicholas didn't agree as decisively as usual.

He pondered for a moment and then said, "Mr. Kingpin."

"I can put up the money for this cooperation, or even the full amount. The profit split afterward can still be 7 for you and 3 for me."

"It's just that after this, I hope to do some projects on my own."

He said this as an excuse.

In business, finding someone to share the risk

is naturally a very wise choice.

After all, as long as it's a business, there are risks.

Making money together is a very good way.

However, Nicholas didn't want to be tied to Kingpin anymore.

After all, the things he and Kingpin did were somewhat dishonorable.

And recently, Kingpin had been appearing frequently in the news headlines.

He was worried that over time, he would be dragged down with him.

So this time, he planned to spend some money to appease the other party.

And then he would no longer cooperate with him.

Kingpin wasn't stupid and naturally heard the meaning in the other party's words.

He frowned, "You said you don't want to find someone to cooperate with?"

Nicholas saw Kingpin's expression and understood that the other party's attitude was bad and seemed not to want him to quit.

However, the words had already been said.

And this was a decision he had thought about for a long time.

He naturally didn't want to continue cooperating with Kingpin.

So Nicholas nodded and said, "That's right."

"Our company has decided not to cooperate with anyone else in the near future."

"For this arms business, out of respect for you, we can cooperate one more time. The capital will be provided entirely by me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Kingpin say faintly, "How is your daughter?" Nicholas looked at Kingpin upon hearing this.

This threat was too obvious.

However, he was also a person of some status.

Nicholas also understood Kingpin's background.

He knew that quitting the cooperation might invite retaliation.

Therefore, he had long been prepared.

He had recently found many bodyguards.

Looking at the two tall bodyguards in black not far away,

Nicholas's nervous mood relaxed a lot.

These were all elite retired Marines!

"Elektra is doing very well, don't trouble yourself with her."

"Just like what was said before."

"I will participate in this cooperation."

"After that, I plan to go solo for a while; if there are opportunities for cooperation, we'll talk again." Saying this, Nicholas held his wine glass and walked toward other guests.

Kingpin looked at the other party's back and remained silent.

Nicholas had made a lot of money cooperating with him.

Now that he had tasted the sweetness, he wanted to stop and run away.

Kingpin naturally wouldn't allow it.

To be on the safe side, he had even investigated the other party's information long ago.

He knew that Nicholas's wife had passed away early and he had a daughter.

As for those two bodyguards,

Kingpin naturally noticed them.

However, he didn't even look at those two bodyguards directly.

Even unarmed,

Kingpin had the confidence to kill them within ten seconds.

"Since you don't want to cooperate with me, then go to hell."

"It just so happens I'm short on money recently..."

Kingpin sneered and beckoned to his subordinate nearby.

The underling walked over very knowingly.

"Send a few people to watch Nicholas and his daughter."

"When the banquet ends, find an opportunity to finish them off."

"Yes."

Seeing this, the underling nodded and left immediately.

Not long after.

The car Karl and Elektra were riding in stopped in front of a high-rise building.

This place was located in the most central area of Manhattan.

When Karl got out of the car, he was somewhat surprised to see the name of this building.

Four Seasons Hotel.

Come to think of it, he had also seen this Four Seasons Hotel in his previous life.

In his previous life, there was a Four Seasons Hotel not far from their university.

It was a very luxurious five-star hotel.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

Such luxurious star-rated hotels were naturally all over the world.

Karl followed Elektra to a banquet hall on the eighth floor.

By this time, there were already quite a few people inside.

Karl asked the waiter for two glasses of red wine and handed one of them to Elektra.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

At this moment, a fragrance wafted over.

"Hello, very nice to meet you."

Looking up,

Karl saw

a woman wearing a pale gold gown with exquisite features.

At this moment,

this person was smiling and greeting Karl and Elektra.

And she had already extended her hand, seemingly wanting to shake hands with them.

"Isabella?"

Elektra looked surprised when she saw the other party.

She immediately extended her hand and shook hers.

"Hello, Ms. Isabella, I really like the Twilight movie you starred in." The person who came

was Hollywood star Isabella.

"Oh? Is that so..."

Isabella felt surprised.

She didn't come here for Elektra.

But at this moment, it was naturally impossible to say anything rude.

After all, there weren't many simple characters at this banquet.

"Of course."

Elektra took out her phone and asked, "Is it convenient to take a group photo?"

"Sure."

Isabella agreed with a smile, looking amiable.

"Karl, help us take a photo."

Elektra put the wine glass in her hand aside and handed the phone to Karl.

"Oh."

Karl nodded.

After taking the phone, he intended to step back a distance to take a photo for them.

However, just at this moment,

Isabella spoke up.

She said with a smile, "Doesn't this gentleman want to be in the photo too?"

"He's so tall, if we take a selfie, we can fit us all in, right?"

"Oh, oh, that's true."

Elektra nodded upon hearing this.

Then she looked at Karl and asked, "Karl, do you want to come and take a photo?"

He looked at Elektra, then at the smiling Isabella, "Alright, let's take one." Saying this, Karl came near the two.

Originally, Elektra wanted to stand in the middle.

Unexpectedly, Isabella ran to the other side of Karl.

It turned into Karl standing in the middle.

Isabella leaned gently against Karl's side and said with a smile, "Take it."

Karl felt the small hand gripping his left hand and took a few group photos with a normal expression.

Then, he returned the phone to Elektra.

Elektra immediately flipped through the photos.

Isabella, who was next to her, accompanied her to look at them.

"These photos are really beautiful."

Isabella exclaimed, "Let's exchange phone numbers, and then you can send the photos to me?" "Okay!"

Elektra was somewhat delighted.

After all, this was a Hollywood star, and she quite liked her.

Thus,

the two exchanged contact information and sent the photos.

Afterward, Isabella left.

However,

before leaving, Isabella, at an angle where Elektra couldn't see,

gave Karl a strange smile and held up her phone, signaling.

Karl watched the other party leave, raised an eyebrow, and didn't speak.

Beside him, Elektra sighed.

"I didn't expect to meet Isabella; she really is amiable." Karl smiled and said thoughtfully, "Right, quite enthusiastic."

This Isabella.

He had met her before.

When Karl attended banquets, he had encountered this Hollywood star.

Welfare segment, you know.
