Anthony's words caused the entire scene to instantly boil over!
"General, isn't this unfair?"
"Is the meeting over before it even started?"
"Yeah, aren't you giving us any chance at all?"
While the family representatives continued to complain and rebuke, the seven or eight young men in camouflage who had entered with Anthony stood imposingly, their bodies exuding a murderous aura, "The General's decisions are not to be questioned. Are you trying to rebel?"
The oppressive aura from these bodyguards subdued the family representatives, silencing them from uttering another word.
Anthony then indifferently said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I only have this one daughter. Brother Xu Hao saved my daughter's life. It is only right to give him the jadeite agency rights, and I hope everyone understands. If there is nothing else, that will be all for today. As compensation to the family representatives, I will offer each of you 100,000 yuan as consolation. Please see my assistant later to receive it!"
The muscles on the faces of the family representatives involuntarily twitched. You should know that the agency rights for jadeite in the Hua Ya Region was business worth several hundred billion yuan. The profit involved was at least in the hundreds of billions, and 100,000 yuan as a consolation prize was nothing in comparison.
But Anthony was not just powerful in Myanmar; his influence in China was also nonnegligible. Once Anthony had decided, they had no other choice.
All their anger was directed towards Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan. They refrained from acting out because General Anthony was present, but if looks could kill, Liu Ruyan and Xu Hao would have already been slain a thousand times over.
"Liu Family, damn it, stealing the Zhou Family's business, this time I'll make sure you never return!"
"My Lin Family, for this agency right, we've built so many connections, and now it's over before it even started! Xu Hao, you bastard, you just wait!"
"Hmph, blocking one's path to wealth is as good as killing!"
There were no shortage of resentful people.
Although Anthony allowed the family representatives to leave, not a single one actually moved.
They wanted to know what conditions Anthony would offer to Xu Hao.
The agency rights were effectively decided, and Xu Hao finally let out a sigh of relief. He had planned a second option, but it now seemed unnecessary. "General, what are the conditions? As long as I am capable, I shall not shirk from helping!"
Anthony looked at Xu Hao with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Actually, the condition is very simple. My girl will probably be staying in China for the next few months, getting to know the local customs and culture. I don't have anyone else I could trust with this, so I'd like Anna to stay with you, Brother Xu Hao, which will give me peace of mind about my daughter's safety!
"Of course, I will arrange covert protection, but having you look after her will ensure even greater safety and peace of mind. Do you see any problem with that?" The canonical source for this content: *.
Before Xu Hao could respond, Anna, standing beside him, jumped up excitedly, "Yay, Daddy is the best! Thank you, Daddy!"
As she spoke, Anna jumped to hug Anthony's neck and planted a firm kiss on his cheek.
Seeing Anna's exuberant joy, Anthony couldn't help but sigh deeply. Ah, a daughter is hard to keep. This little girl clearly has feelings for Xu Hao.
It was a pity though. If only Xu Hao didn't already have a wife and family, Anthony would have been willing to play matchmaker between his daughter and Xu Hao.
But now, it seemed unlikely!
He didn't know whether placing Anna with Xu Hao was a mistake or the right thing to do.
According to what Anthony knew, once one entered the Realm of martial cultivation, they were no longer constrained by secular morality and could have several wives. But would Anna be willing to share a man with other girls?
