Chapter 297 An Arranged Marriage

Day Thirty Four...

~~*****~~

[ Country R: At AMB Diamond Corporation... ]

Old Man Xu had been investigating the person who was blackmailing him for the past few months. The clue led him to Country R. And now, he was standing here in the lobby of the AMB Diamond Corporation.

He went there to meet a very influential figure, the Chairman of the AMB Diamond Corporation– Maximillian Carlsen. Two guards welcome Old Man Xu, guiding him to the VIP lounge. Maximilian was already waiting for Old Man Xu.

Old Man Xu set an appointment with Chairman Carlsen. Old Man Xu motioned his men to wait for him in the lobby. Only Old Man Xu and the two guards of AMB Diamond Corporation took the lift.

Ding!

The elevator stopped on the 13th floor where the VIP lounge was located. They passed through the corridors and after twenty steps, Old Man Xu and the bodyguards reached the VIP room. After opening the door for Old Man Xu, the two bodyguards left almost immediately.

Upon entering the room, a middle-aged man wearing a red fancy tux, who was leisurely having his coffee, came into Old Man Xu's view. Their eyes met for a second then Maximilian acknowledged Old Man Xu, waving at him at the entrance door. He greeted him with a warm smile and stood up to approach him.

"Chairman Sparks, it's my pleasure to finally meet you face to face." Maximilian extended his right hand to Old Man Xu for a handshake. "You are the man behind the success of SYP Starlight Corp in Country M!"

Old Man Xu smiled back at him, accepting the handshake. "You flatter me too much, Chairman Carlsen. Don't overestimate me. In fact, my son is the one who makes SYP Starlight Corp grow big." Old Man Xu maintained his distant yet professional tone.

"Actually, I am not here to exchange some pleasantries. I am here for a very serious matter." Old Man Xu cut to the chase. He was frank and direct with Chairman Carlsen.

[ "Kill that woman! She doesn't deserve my son. I saw her with another guy. She is cheating on him!" ]

Old Man Xu's face became pale upon hearing his own voice. His eyes were wide open in disbelief. How could this recording end up in the possession of Maximillian Carlsen? This was not a fake voice recording since Old Man Xu could still remember the moment he actually gave that order to his trusted subordinate.

"Don't get me wrong, Chairman Sparks. I have nothing to do with this recording. Someone sent it to me one year ago. I just decided to make use of this information to catch your attention. And with regards to Nathan's stabbing incident in Country F, my man had no intention of killing him. The attacker didn't stab him in his vital parts. We just wanted to draw your attention."

"And here you are! In front of me. This only meant that my tactic was perfect! You came to me personally."

"Don't be amused! This is not a good joke. What do you want from me?" Old Man Xu slammed the table as he asked Maximillian through his gritted teeth.

"Yeah. Now I can see that you are open to negotiation." Maximilian rubbed his chin as he looked at Old Man Xu with a sly smile.

Without further ado, Maximilian placed a photo on the surface of the table. It was a photo of a lady. "This is Helena Carlsen, my one and only daughter. My precious Unica Hija."

"She is lovely, isn't she?" Maximilian asked Old Man Xu.

"Get to the point!" Old Man Xu uttered irritably.

"I want to marry her off to your son, Nathan Sparks. I am proposing an arranged marriage here. I hope you will reconsider. What do you think, Chairman Sparks?"

Old Man Xu: "WHAT?! An arranged marriage to my son?! Are you kidding me?!"
