Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2692 - 1929: Tearing Off the Mask

The Maiyous family butler, Levante, didn’t take Lin Weiwei’s words seriously at all. He even decided that he would forgive the "rude" remarks of this young girl later, to demonstrate the tolerance of someone from a great family, and to give face to the Anlos Family at the same time.

In his opinion, Lin Weiwei was merely a minor figure whose opinions carried little weight, just temporarily overwhelmed by maternal instincts, speaking impulsively without restraint.

This did not represent the attitude of the Anlos Family, and surely was not a reason to ruin this meeting.

However, Levante also decided that he must inform the Anlos Family afterward, to let them manage their people properly, to avoid such indiscriminate sympathy and inattention to the occasion.

But what Levante never anticipated was that Bai Xiaosheng, the leader sent by the Anlos Family to handle this matter, would turn out to be equally... absurd!

Not only did he not chastise his subordinate, but he even stood up and declared the conversation to be over?

Levante looked at Bai Xiaosheng in disbelief, his eyes clearly seeing him as a madman.

The atmosphere was silent for a few moments, yet it seemed like an eternity.

"Mr. Bai, please, don’t make this joke." Jim, standing by, spoke up at the right moment, letting out a "ha-ha" to try and alleviate the situation.

With the interests of two super families at stake, what significance could a woman hold? Not to mention Lorna being an illegitimate child, even if she were the beloved darling of the clan leader, it wouldn’t matter. Besides, the Maiyous Family taking Lorna back would not mistreat her; she’d be well fed and clothed, isn’t that enough? What more could they want!

Levante also quietly regulated his breathing, yet he felt a stir in his heart.

He thought, this might be Bai Xiaosheng’s conversational strategy. Though it appeared irrational, it probably contained a unique approach for the subsequent negotiation.

Almost falling into the other’s trap, why should I worry over mere words?

Understanding this, Levante thought to himself.

"Mr. Bai, perhaps I didn’t make myself clear just now." Levante stood up and approached Bai Xiaosheng proactively.

"Today, we meet to discuss two matters: First, the cooperation between both parties, and second, the matter concerning Miss Lorna."

"We were initially discussing cooperation, and would later talk about the conditions for Miss Lorna’s return. I believed putting the bigger picture first might have come off as presumptuous, making you uncomfortable. It’s fine, we can discuss Miss Lorna’s issue first."

Levante looked towards Lorna and said, "If Miss Lorna has grievances and wishes to request compensation from the family, there’s no problem. I might even assist her in striving for it."

"As for the cooperation between the two families, even though a formal meeting requires both Mr. Anlos and Mr. Maiyous to meet face to face, exchanging preliminary intentions during our first meeting is still extremely important, isn’t it?"

Levante believed that in saying this, he had given the other party enough face and explained things clearly.

However, after he finished saying these things, Levante saw Lorna looking gloomy, her head lowered in silence.

The Asian girl beside her seemed even angrier.

And the big guy nearby wore an expression of impatience.

How could these people have such a temper? Levante found it utterly incomprehensible.

Yet, it was that "Mr. Bai" who smiled at him as if he had been listening.

However, the key was with this Mr. Bai. The attitudes of the others were irrelevant.

Levante stared at Bai Xiaosheng, as Maiyous’ son Jim also stood up, watching Bai Xiaosheng, waiting for his response.

"Mr. Levante." Bai Xiaosheng finally spoke.

With a soft remark, he drew the attention of everyone present onto himself.

"As I just said, the conversation ends here. Not only regarding Miss Lorna’s matter, but also the so-called cooperation between the two families you mentioned." Bai Xiaosheng fixed his eyes directly on Levante, his gaze calm yet indisputable.

At this moment, the aura truly gave Levante a surprisingly oppressive feeling.

"Given your attitudes, I see no necessity to continue. Do you understand what I’m saying?" Bai Xiaosheng enunciated each word.

Levante looked at Bai Xiaosheng, astonished.

As the dignified butler of the Maiyous Family, having given enough courtesy to the other party, was this the response he received?

Even Jim beside him showed a sullen expression, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Bai Xiaosheng, visibly displeased.

Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng intended to leave with Lorna without further discussion, Levante came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to stop Bai Xiaosheng.

Levante frowned and exclaimed, "Mr. Bai, do you know what you’re doing? Your actions could create irreparable rifts between the Maiyous and Anlos Families! Are you worthy of Mr. Anlos’ trust, can you... handle this responsibility?"

In Levante’s heart, the Maiyous Family was a half step above the Anlos Family, especially given today, having successfully defeated a formidable enemy in East Africa, soon to become the strongest family on the continent.

The person sent by Anlos to negotiate was so ignorant, unaware of the limits, provoking Maiyous’ patience.

This truly incensed him to the point of being unbearable!

Bai Xiaosheng smiled faintly, "What have I ruined? You can say whatever you want. As for how I account for things with Mr. Anlos, that’s none of your business. I can responsibly tell you all, your attitude today has left me and my people very displeased, so this dialogue ends here! It’s that simple! Now, please step aside!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s breezy attitude and indifferent words truly stunned Levante.
