What if the forest fire is fierce? Isn’t a tsunami enough to submerge the entire forest, let alone a mere forest fire? This is the check mate in the final analysis.
Adrian Peters didn't speak for a long time. He had been keenly observing the father and son in front of him with eagle eyes, watching all their respective changes in facial expression, eye movement, and even changes in their thinking. Observing words and emotions is Adrian Peter’s greatest ability. After so many years with Lord Banks, his eyes were almost more accurate than a polygraph. He could clearly and firmly judge that the father and son before him were tempted.
This was a huge relief.
Secretly he thought, "The master was worried that two billion wouldn’t impress the Elms family. However, it seems that the psychological price for this family is not as high as the master expected. Two billion seemed to be a little too much. If I started with 1 billion, we could have negotiated and after a few back-and-forths, the Elms family would have settled for 1.5 billion! This way at least 500 million wouldn’t be spent in vain. As compared to 2 billion per year, this would represent a savings of 5 billion over ten years.
But then Adrian reconsidered, “However, at the moment, the Banks family is in the middle of a serious crisis, and Lord Banks’s own safety is an issue. It is indeed not a time to bargain. The most important thing is to secure the house and protect the safety of the old man. Lord Banks must also have his own plan. This price will be provided to the Elms family for one or two years at most. Once the crisis is over, Lord Banks will never continue to pay such a high price for the support of the Elms family.” Thinking of this, Adrian Peters felt a little more comfortable.
