The Strongest Man in the Universe
Chapter 99



Pearl left, and even though she had just won, she did nothing to Gunther. Not that he wouldn't. When it came to a shameless and mischievous person like Gunther, he wished he could come forward to slap and kick him. However, after the project was terminated, he learned the information about Gunther.


This guy has a very deep-rooted background in Springfield. Ordinary people were unable to provoke him because he was a famous local tyrant here. As outsiders, they were at a disadvantage compared to these local tyrants, so he did not want to cause trouble for David.


Back in the room. Gunther recovered quickly. He smiled, put the wine glass in his hand to his mouth, and took a sip of it before muttering to himself, “Interesting, what an interesting. It seems like this girl is not as simple as I thought! It's getting fun, and I want to see what kind of surprise this girl can give me!”


Pearl returned to the apartment, called David, and explained the matter to him briefly. He had no idea that David was on his way.


After a phone call, Pearl lay down on the sofa with a slight pressure.He initially thought that the auction of the project was successful, and he was able to complete the task that David had given him, but there were still problems. In the end, it was still up to David to finish it by himself.


At this time, Rhonda came out of the room and saw Pearl lying on the sofa in a bad mood.


“What's wrong? Pearly, you weren't in a good mood the last few days. Who provoked you? Come on, tell me." said Rhonda while sitting on the other side of the sofa.


“It's okay. It's just that there's something wrong with the investment, but I've already told the boss and asked him to finish it" Pearl replied.


“What is it? Why did your boss have to come to finish it by himself? ”


“This is the piece of land I told you about last time. We have made an offer for it but it has now been tampered with and the project has been suspended.”


“Oh? Who was so able to stop a project worth tens of billions just like that?” Rhonda asked curiously.


Pearl had recently bid for a piece of land and Rhonda had heard Pearl mention it. Back then, Pearl was overjoyed, saying that when the auction was over, she would be able to complete the task her boss had given her.


She thought that things were going too smoothly at that moment, so she also reminded Pearl to be careful. And now, it seems like something is not right.


It would be best if Pearl invested in something else.


However, things like land are a very scarce resource in Springfield and are generally controlled by extended families. So, if Pearl wanted to get involved, it could only be described with one word. It's hard!


Even if he had the money to bid on it, he would still face problems with the next set of development, and in the end, he could only sell it for half the price. This has happened many times before.


Many beginners who come to Springfield with a large amount of money to invest will basically leave at the end of the day after suffering a loss if they dare to touch real estate.


“That's a guy named Gunther Daniels. Rhonnie, you're from Springfield. Do you know this guy? All I know is she has a strong background.” Pearl sat down from the sofa and said.


“Gunther Daniels? Gunther Daniels from Prosperity Properties?” Rhonda asked in surprise.


“True, Gunther Daniels, owner of Prosperity Properties. Rhonnie, do you know him?” Pearl asked expectantly.


“No, but I've heard of him.” Rhonda said.


Then, he added in his heart, ‘I don't know Gunther, but I know his brother, Morris Daniels.


“Alright, it's okay if you don't know each other.” Pearl said disappointedly.


Rhonda looked at Pearl from left to right.


“Why are you looking at me like that?” Pearl asked.


“Pearly, since you were targeted by Gunther, he didn't do anything to you, right? I heard that Gunther was so depraved. As long as he paid attention to a woman, he would not be able to escape. You are very pretty, so she will definitely not let you go just like that.”


“Hah, how could I possibly let him succeed? He was going to take me by force today but the two bodyguards sent by my boss knocked down all his henchmen" Pearl said.


“Good if you are okay. I'm really afraid he's done something to you. If that happens, I will definitely feel disgusted sleeping with you.” Rhonda said with a sigh of relief.


When David arrives, he finds Pearl waiting for him in front of the office building with all the employees. East League International Investment now has three departments in its temporary office in Springfield.


The law department, which is responsible for drafting contracts and handling law-related matters, is made up of more than a dozen legal elites. The head of the department is a middle-aged man in his 40s who has worked in law for over 20 years and is well known in the Springfield legal circles.


The investment department is responsible for examining and evaluating companies that require investment or financing. Finally, conclusions will be drawn based on various aspects. It consisted of an evaluation team of over 20 people while Pearl was the head of the department.


There were four people in the finance department, all of them elites who were snatched from other companies. Pearl is also head of the finance department.


More than 40 people were neatly dressed and standing in front of the office building, waiting for the legendary big boss to appear. However, when they saw a young man get off the taxi and Pearl greet him and call him Mr. Lidell, more than 40 people felt their jaws drop to the floor.


The legendary big boss came in such a simple manner, which completely shocked everyone. Is this how someone worth hundreds of billions behaves?


Very awesome!


In their opinion, if a big boss could let them spend tens of billions on investments in just half a month, he could be worth at least tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions.


Shouldn't such a person carry bodyguards wherever he goes?


If he didn't use a helicopter to fly it, he should at least have a convoy made up of luxury cars, right?


The appearance of David, the big boss, completely destroyed their perception of the big rich. They even doubted whether the people they had interacted with before were too inferior.


Real mega-richs should behave like their big bosses. Humble, luxurious, and calm. Even Rhonda felt unable to imagine that boss Pearl, who was worth hundreds of billions of dollars, came here in a taxi.


Although he was experienced and knowledgeable, he did not believe it for a moment. He had seen humble people before, but he had never seen someone who acted to such an extreme.


After Pearl greeted him, the dozens of people behind him also hurriedly followed.


“Mr Lidel!”


“Mr Lidel!”


“Thank you for your hard work.” David patted both of them on the shoulders.


“Hello, Mr Lidell!"


"Welcome, Mr. Lidell!”


“Welcome, Mr Lidell!”


“Welcome, Mr Lidell!”


The others also greeted David.


“Halo everyone! You guys have been working really hard, but since I was in a hurry this time, I did not prepare any gifts. Work hard, and I'll give you a double bonus at the end of the year" said David a little shy.


He had never experienced such a situation! After all, it only took him over a month to change from a poor person to a new rich person with all the money in the world. His mindset has not changed at all. Right now, he had to pretend to be cold and just nod casually. This is what a big boss should do.


“Mr Lidell, how can we request a gift from you?”


“That's right, it's our greatest honor to work with you, Mr. Lidell.”


“Mr Lidell is the most humble and calm person I have ever met.”


As soon as David spoke, he heard praises all around him.


They didn't expect his boss to be so polite. Which boss will bring gifts for their employees?


That's unheard of!


David and Pearl walked in front, followed by a group of people.


“Oh yes, Mr. Lidell. Our office is on the thirty-sixth floor.” replied Pearl.


“Did you rent it?”


“Ya, but we only rented half a floor.”


“Half floor?” David asked in a high voice.


When those who followed behind heard this, their hearts stiffened. Was the big boss angry? Is it because they are too wasteful? However, there are only 40 more people so renting half a floor of an office building is rather wasteful.


Half the floor could accommodate at least 100 people. Some companies will even manage to load 200 people if they are squeezed out a bit. No wonder the big boss was angry. However, even though this big boss looked polite, he was extremely stingy. It seems that they should not be too hopeful on the double bonus at the end of the year.


“Nona Pearl, it looks like you didn't listen to my words.” David said angrily.


Pearl was a little confused. At first, he thought David was blaming him for being wasteful. However, based on his understanding of David, he would definitely not blame him in front of so many people for such a trivial matter. Therefore, he was at a loss how to answer for a while.


Not to mention the people behind them. They're all scared. This big boss had just arrived, and he immediately showed them strength. Sure enough, none of these great people were easy. It's a pity they just think David is a good boss and it's an honour for them to work for such a boss. It seemed that these big photos were all smiling but had an evil intent hiding behind that smile.


Seeing Pearl not talking, David continued, “Nona Pearl, ask the building owner if this office building will be sold later. If yes, buy it. East League International will go global in the future. Who are you trying to embarrass by renting half a floor of an office building?”


After David said this, everyone behind them was terrified. Even Pearl failed to regain consciousness for a while. Isn't this a little too wasteful?


They only had a little over 40 employees, but he wanted to buy a 60-story office building?


These people were considered elites in various industries, otherwise Pearl would not have paid a lot of money to hunt them down.


Some people have worked in their respective industries for more than 20 years and have been in contact with many wealthy people. However, they had never seen anything like David.


The boss they contacted would not spend money like this no matter how rich they were. Instead, they will simply try to downplay the value of their employees.


“Mr Lidell, there are only 40 people in our team at the moment. Even if we are going to recruit a few later, one floor is more than enough. This office building has a total of 60 floors. Do we rent another floor after we buy it?” Pearl regained her senses and asked.


If he bought the building and rented out the other floors, it would be quite cost-effective. After all, the location where this office building had yet to fully develop.


Once developed, then the price will definitely go up.


If he had spare money, he could make a long-term investment. However, buying this building now would definitely cost a fortune. After all, the other party was not stupid. If one could see that the price would increase in the future, others would certainly see it as well.


“No need to rent. We invest, not trying to become landlords.”


After David finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added, “Contact the building owner to make an appointment later and I will talk to him. I want to buy this place to prepare for a big fight in Springfield.”


She was afraid Pearl would screw things up. If Pearl went to talk to the owner, then there would definitely be an inspection and evaluation. Eventually, the price will decrease and the transaction will half fail by then.


“Of course, Mr. Lidell.” replied Pearl.


Now that David had made up his mind, he had nothing to say. From what he knew about David, once David decided on something, it was useless for him to refuse. Besides, it's not the money. After all, he was just an employee.


The two of them entered the office building and went to the thirty-sixth floor. The people following behind them looked at each other and could see the disbelief in each other's eyes. They felt like they were riding on a roller coaster since the big boss arrived, their emotions fluctuating all the time.
