BXBX NOVEL Chapter 480 Transfer of Development Lease
Chapter 480 Transfer of Development Lease
Even as the Ruby Rat Triad Boss was busy showing off his aura, Jin was not bothered by it and was instead contacting the owner of the development lease. And it was none other than Grandma Yuan via the System's communication line.
"What do you want brat? How did you even get this number?" Grandma Yuan started scolding Jin as soon as she realised it was him. She took a look on her hand ... not even a day has passed, since she was forced to accept the ring, and she was already suffering the consequences.
"I'm sorry for bothering you this way, but I wouldn't ask if it wasn't so urgent. Please listen carefully." Jin maintained his poker face at De Tian while explaining his situation to Grandma Yuan.
"Oh, so the big bosses have come to visit you personally? So what? Can't you handle them yourself? Do you honestly need me to still wipe your butt for you?! Brat, I have vouched for you being capable enough to lead a Branch Location of JODE. If you can't even deal with some thugs, you can forget about JODE assisting you without proving your worth. Do you want me to arrange for you to scrub the Headquarters toilets for a year, to do so?!" Grandma Yuan threatened, and Jin politely asked her to listen to his proposal first. (despite being rather annoyed by her tone at times. Perhaps she did not want to be disturbed with her phone number.)
"I am handling it, but I still need your help. You saw my assets during our meal, right? I want to buy the entire Tiangong Shopping District from you, Tiangong District Guardian."
"Why don't you just defeat the… Oh." Grandma Yuan stopped arguing and started to see Jin's point. "Ah, I guess those rumours of the Triads wanting to change the shopping district into something more lucrative were true. So, you want to buy the entire plot for yourself? Your assets should be enough for a 50% down payment. Even so, we need a lawyer to-"?Grandma Yuan suddenly heard a swishing noise behind her and saw Zeru bowing towards her. She looked down at the ring once more and was even more pissed at the System apparently 'forgetting' to mention she would be tracked by its 'gift'.
"Xiong Da will be managing the papers. He said he can expedite the process, but he needs your signature." The Lotus Sword Saint explained as he placed the papers on the table. Jin's signature was already on the bottom of the page.
"How? Isn't Jin in the battlefields?" Grandma Yuan asked as Zeru showed her where to sign the transfer of ownership of the land.
"Let's just say the System is not being lazy for once," Jin answered instead through the loudspeakers as Grandma Yuan began signing the papers.
-----------
To prevent Jin from wasting any time having to explain everything to Xiong Da, the System had sent out a message with the rough details of the situation and what he wanted from his most loyal customer.
The Hungry Hippo Cultivator couldn't say no to his favourite dungeon supplier. However, even the almighty lawyer warned that processing might become a problem and would require at the very least a working day.
Yet, the System (posing as Jin) assured him that this would not be an issue as long as Xiong Da approved the transaction. Even before Xiong Da could agree to the matter, Milk was already at his firm's doorstep knocking on the door with the papers ready.
"Mr Wa, I brought Milk in." Ruo Ying, Xiong Da's girlfriend and secretary, acted with professionalism as she brought Milk in a well dressed OL suit into the office. However, she decided to remain in the office, unlike usual circumstances where she would leave the client and Xiong Da alone.
She sensed Milk was being too… sexy and sensual for Xiong Da to stay sane, although she did bring up an excuse for her behaviour as a special case to see how Xiong Da handle the situation with Milk. (She was merely jealous of Milk's body and fashion wear.)
"Here, the cheque and the signed papers. As well as Jin's balance of accounts to ensure we are not lying." Milk picked up her phone and showed an image of Jin's balance in his bank. It was actually the System's which it managed to manipulate and insert that amount of money without alerting the bank system. (The trip to the Abyss Web had been beneficial for the System too, not just Kraft.)
"The rest of the evidence is here, but I need you to sign it quickly so I can get it approved soon. There is not much time left." Milk demanded as she banged the table and Xiong Da nodded his head to her intimidation.
"Xiong Xiong, I know you trust Boss Jin, but this is clearly an abuse of your powers. You might get in trouble for this." Ruo Ying warned, and Milk shook her head.
"Trust me, Jin has a few tricks behind his back. Xiong Da will be safe. Besides, we will need more of his services in the future. One wouldn't exactly betray an ally needed in the future, right?" Milk reassured her, but Xiong Da did not care about the two and had already started stamping his approval on the transaction papers.
"There! Done. You sure you can make it? It's getting late, and the ministry's office is probably closing soon." Xiong Da worried for her. As Milk was just about to leave, the lawyer was unable to control his curiosity. "Is it because of the gang fight that is happening at Tiangong district?"
"Yeah, it's because of that ridiculous, stupid fight. Don't worry. Jin will appear victorious with this." Milk winked at him and gave a peace sign before rushing to leave the office. (To teleport back into the System.)
"There you go System. It's all yours. Time to do your magic." Milk said as she unclipped the staple on the papers and each of them side by side on the desk. The System immediately scanned the entire transaction deal and infiltrated into the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development's database to tweak the name and expedite the approval.
This was done to make sure the database had been modified to reflect the latest changes and allowed Jin to play this Trump card of his towards the Triad Bosses. The System could have personally edited the data in the database, but there were too many loopholes and Jin might be penalised if found guilty.
However, the transaction deal only stated the transfer of the name from Grandma Yuan to Jin. Xiong Da did state that the minor details of the deal would be finalised on a later date since it was a deed that was hastily done.
-----
"I have to thank Xiong Da for this…" Jin thought as he saw the Triad Bosses coming together to discuss what needed to be done.
"Indeed, it was a major feat and a leap of faith for Xiong Da and past Sub System User Yuan to trust you. With just one disagreeing, this whole plan would have fallen apart." The System stated.
"This is impossible! I double checked merely two days ago, the deed was still under Guardian District Yuan, not Jin." De Tian was furious and stared at Jin for a while, knowing that he must have had some under the table help.
"Was it the tiger princess? No, even she could not have such power under her. The most likely candidate would be the Royal Zodiac Tiger Clan Head, Yuan Ba. But why would someone like the Tiger Lord do something like that for a mere dungeon supplier?"?Mu Bing wondered out loud, but Tang Wei shook his head. He was the one most informed about the gossip of the royal families. (It was actually one of his guilty pleasures, better than any soap opera)
"Yang Ling is not exactly close to her father, ever since her accident.?Even if they were, the amount of money involved to buy this land is not a joke." Tang Wei commented as he wiped his sweat.
"There's a snowball's chance in hell that Sea Mesh's CEO would provide such money to that dungeon supplier. Ke Loong is a stingy person, the last time I asked him to sponsor me some stuff, he would not even oblige." De Tian chimed, and the only person who kept quiet was Chen Xun.
"Say, even if you cannot kill him. You can make him go that way, can't you?" Chen Xun mentioned in a devious manner.
"What do you mean?" De Tian asked, and Chen Xun began to whisper at him.
"A duel? Just use your tiny brain for once! Would you accept a duel in your own territory?" De Tian snorted at that idea.
"Not if you don't offer good collateral … It's fine either way with us. Either you get him to agree, or you will have to give us 5% of your shares. Don't forget about that." Chen Xun inadvertently reminded him, but in his heart, he was laughing at how devious the plan was.?De Tian thought about it for a while, and with a bit of persuasion from the other two Triad Bosses, he agreed to it with a condition.
"Interfere with the duel. Make sure he dies." De Tian sent them a close range transmission and the smiles of the other three Triad Bosses were at their most wicked.
This was what they were living for. Deceit and betrayal.
"Ku Wai, I know you are still hiding around here. Come out." De Tian shouted at Jin's direction, and the Three Eyed Tiger vice leader came out from an alley.
"What do you want?" Ku Wai felt an ominous feeling when De Tian called him out.
"Conduct a duel for us. I hereby challenge Jin for the ownership of the development lease of the Tiangong Shopping District. In return, I offer him the entire King Monster's franchise AND all its land." De Tian announced proudly at Jin. He was sure that Jin being a businessman of a certain calibre, would understand the weight of the offer.
"Nah, no thanks," Jin replied and waved his hand as if he was telling them to shoo off.
