#288 - Section 288
The inside of the house was also a mess, and I don't know if they were trying to scare them.
But if Odilia doesn't give him a reasonable explanation tonight, he's going to lose it.
The remaining few followed Richard into the castle, and immediately saw Odilia sitting in the main seat.
Compared to the uncertain expressions of the others, Odilia, the woman who had summoned them, was obviously much calmer than the others. She gestured for the bodyguards to pull up chairs for everyone, and only when everyone was seated with dissatisfaction did she calmly speak.
"Everyone is here, I assume you are all interested in the anti-aging potion?"
Regardless of how these people tried to conceal their true purpose in front of the castle, Odilia directly revealed the trump card of this negotiation.
She looked at everyone indifferently.
Although her initial purpose was not pure, and she had thought about plotting against Rhode, she was now finding it difficult to give a good face to this group of guys who harbored ill intentions towards Rhode.
Women are so easily fickle. Once conquered, the submission of their hearts is only a matter of time.
"Since everyone has the same goal, there's no need to beat around the bush."
Odilia continued, "I have already invited the person behind the scenes to my castle. I've called you here this time to discuss how to handle this matter."
Instantly, the expressions of everyone present changed.
"You mean, you've already caught the person?!"
The gazes of the others towards Odilia were extremely fiery, but also carried a hint of unwillingness.
It seemed that Odilia was going to get ahead of them this time!
Odilia curled her lips.
One billion?
Even she hadn't thought of just giving that little amount to dismiss him. Rhode being able to create something like the anti-aging potion was enough to show that Rhode definitely still had value to be exploited. Why make an enemy of him? Of course, she should try to befriend him.
That was what Odilia thought from the beginning, let alone the Odilia of now.
She looked at everyone indifferently and was about to speak when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind her.
Odilia immediately stopped speaking, only looking at everyone with a profound expression.
"Good evening, everyone."
Rhode slowly appeared from behind Odilia, casually raising his hand to greet everyone present.
Everyone frowned instantly.
"Who do you think you are, kid?"
How could it be someone else's turn to interrupt when they, these capital tycoons, were discussing business, especially this unidentified young punk?
Before Rhode could speak, Odilia couldn't help but frown and said angrily.
"Mind your attitude, this is Mr. Rhode, the patent holder of the anti-aging potion."
The few people present didn't pay attention to Odilia's tone and attitude. Their minds were filled with the words "anti-aging potion holder."
Someone couldn't wait to stand up, looking at Rhode with fiery eyes, speaking commandingly.
"You must be Mr. Rhode. I don't know if the shares and patents in your hand have been traded away. If not, I am willing to use one billion US dollars to buy out the equity and patents in your hand."
Richard spoke directly.
He was betting that the things in this kid's hand had not been obtained by Odilia yet.
Nick on the side said with a dissatisfied face: "One billion is too much. For this kind of commoner, giving him one hundred million is about right."
The surrounding people nodded in agreement at this moment.
They did want to compete for this part of the equity, but they didn't plan to compete in front of a commoner like Rhode, so as not to give Rhode the illusion that they could negotiate.
They would discuss it later, and there was no need to waste time with Rhode at all.
Even if they had to pay a price, they wouldn't give Rhode, this kind of commoner, a chance to take advantage.
Looking at the expressions of the others, Rhode knew exactly what these guys were thinking and couldn't help but shake his head.
In the end, these guys were just birds of a feather.
He turned his head and gave Odilia a look.
Odilia immediately stood up and walked to Rhode's side. Seeing Rhode sit in the main seat, she just stood obediently with her hands lowered.
Looking at her appearance, she didn't look like a capital tycoon who could stir up storms in business warfare, but more like Rhode's maid.
Everyone present looked at Odilia in disbelief, staring in surprise.
Could it be that they had really seen a ghost tonight?!
Odilia, among them, could be considered a famous arrogant person. She usually didn't even pay attention to them, but now she was so respectful to Rhode…
That's right, Odilia did call this commoner Mr. Rhode just now.
What exactly is going on…
Rhode sat directly in the main seat, facing the surprised gazes of the others, and said indifferently: "You don't have to think about things like buying out equity. It's not possible."
His tone was calm, and he didn't take everyone present seriously at all.
Then he said.
"However, if you are obedient enough, cooperation can be considered."
"Just you?" Nick immediately said with disdain: "How are you worthy to cooperate with us? You're just a commoner."
Saying that, he couldn't help but yell at Odilia.
"What the hell are you doing, putting on this attitude towards such a poor ghost? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
He had pursued Odilia for so long, and now he was so embarrassed.
Thinking that, Nick gave the bodyguards behind him a look.
The two bodyguards behind him quickly took two steps forward, raising their hands to grab Rhode.
"Didn't I say, you have to be good to have a chance to cooperate."
Rhode slowly said, not caring about Nick, who was approaching him: "Besides, did I let you speak?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Rhode finally looked up at the other party.
The moment Rhode looked up.
Bang!
Nick in front of him directly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and the splashing blood fell directly in front of the others.
The two bodyguards were also stunned in place.
"I don't like being disturbed when I'm talking, and I don't want to hear dogs barking."
Rhode moved his gaze, and his cold eyes gradually fell on the others.
"Understand?"
Instantly, everyone present fell silent.
Everyone was covered in cold sweat, looking at Rhode almost in horror.
This guy is actually a supernatural being…
Moreover, he killed Nick without saying a word…
This was the first time they had encountered such a ruthless method.
The infighting among the upper class, no matter how torn apart, would not be so simple and crude.
It was the first time they had encountered it, but it was very useful.
Looking at the appearance of everyone becoming honest, Rhode nodded slightly with satisfaction.
"I can indeed give you what you want."
The few people who were still in shock breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces.
That's right, how could anyone not want money? Even supernatural beings are no exception.
That kid should just want more money, so he put on such a tough attitude.
The corners of Rhode's mouth curled up slightly: "However, I'm just short of a few dogs here, and I think you're not bad."
"Who agrees, who opposes?"
This guy actually wants them to be dogs?!
Everyone present changed color drastically, and one of them couldn't help but get angry, immediately stood up and looked around, and said coldly: "Don't dream!"
There were so many prominent figures present, would they be dogs for a young punk like Rhode?
Don't even think about it!
Pfft.
In the blink of an eye, a cloud of blood mist rose again.
The head of the person who spoke had completely disappeared, and the headless corpse immediately fell on the chair, and all the blood sprayed on the table in front of them, scaring everyone around to the point that their hair stood on end, and they became even more afraid to speak.
"I am a very democratic person."
Rhode looked at the others with a faint smile.
The Beacon Country is a democratic country, and he can be so democratic too.
"I never force the people below to do things."
"Have you decided yet?"
The deeper the smile on his face, the more frightened the people below became.
Not to mention opposing, they didn't even have the courage to speak.
"Looking at your intentions, everyone should agree, right?"
Rhode said this, signaling Odilia to take out the potion she had prepared.
This potion was just concocted by him.
Loyalty Potion.
It contains a drop of his blood.
As long as they take it, they will be branded with his soul mark, and they will not be able to live or die under his single thought.
Moreover, as long as he is willing, he can sense all the thoughts of the potion drinker.
So no matter who it is, as long as they drink this potion, they will be completely enslaved by him.
There will be no possibility of betrayal at all.
Rhode asked Odilia to decompose the potion into several portions and gradually place it in front of the others.
Looking at everyone with a calm expression.
Slightly raising his hand to signal Gong.
"Please, everyone."
"Cooperation or enemy, it's your choice."
Chapter 217: Master and Servant Rejoice, Deep Development!
The hall fell into a dead silence.
No one knew what the potion Rhode took out was. Who would want to drink such a inexplicable thing into their stomach?
What if it was poison?
Everyone was stuck in place, staring at the liquid in the cup, unable to open their mouths.
