The Greatest Fighter No. 1
Chapter 352
"One billion!"
Many people from the crowd took a breath when they heard the numbers Fane mentioned. The bodyguard was already outrageous at this point. Is he aware of how much money $1 billion is? He's got the guts to ask for $1 billion!
After all, Young Master Wilson kindly offered the gemstone he had just bought, worth about seven or eight million dollars. That's good enough.
How much money can an ordinary bodyguard earn? He spoke as if he had a lot of money.
"One billion? Heh. Why are you so annoying? Why don't you go steal it yourself?"
Michael looked at him as if he was a madman and a contemptuous smile slowly formed on his lips.
"Oh, I know why you need so much money now," he said. "You've been thinking about it to drive you crazy, haven't you? Your dear Grandpa Taylor's 70th birthday is coming soon and you'll be expelled from the Taylor family if you can't pay the $40 million you promised. You're going to have to divorce Selena Taylor, too, right?"
"Cannot be. This guy is Selena Taylor's husband?"
"Mmhmd. I heard that he is a war-hero veteran. I think he was the one who saved the little boy that day at the zoo!"
Mumbles began to circulate among the crowd.
"This guy is the definition of a real man and he is also quite handsome. He risked his life on the front lines so that we could live in peace. My son, on the contrary, never returned..."
Wailing, an old man from the crowd sighed as he recalled his dead son on the front line.
Fane glanced at the old man before looking at the gemstone right in front of Michael.
"alright. I'll give you a little self-esteem today." Fane took the gemstone from him.
"I'll take the gemstone so you don't have to kneel down and bark like a dog."
"As if you dare to do such a thing!"
Michael's bodyguards immediately grumbled with courage.
Yvonne was eager to see Michael barking like a dog and thought that Fane would be firm in the idea. But he never expected that Fane would be convinced so easily.
Needless to say, Yvonne was not satisfied with the result.
"Fane, you said you'd give this to me after you opened it," she said. "You sure you won't regret it?"
The audience also became very attentive when they heard it. The gem is worth about 20 to 30 million. Is Fane really going to give it to him?
Of course, it would make Fane less trustworthy if he chose to ignore his own words, but most would understand it. Many of them will choose to do so as well. After all, it was 20 to 30 million dollars!
Actually Yvonne just wanted to see her response. He had no intention of claiming it as his own. After all, he only paid $300,000, yet the gem was worth over a hundred times that.
Moreover, he advised Fane not to choose the stone. Now, how could he have the power to decide anything else?
"I, Fane Woods, will never take my word" Fane replied without hesitation. That was an unexpected answer.
"Whoever knows me knows that I am the man who holds my words,"
After saying so, Fane then walked towards the old man. "Your son died on the battlefield?"
The old man nodded his head. There was a bitter smile on his face.
"That's fine. I have a son and a daughter. My son has enlisted himself as a soldier, but who would have thought I would never see him again. Now, it's just me and my daughter who are living our lives,"
He breathed a tired breath. Red color began to encircle his eyes.
"Stay, my son is a hero because he died on the battlefield. How can we live in peace without their sacrifice? I believe that you in the military will understand this!"
Unexpectedly, Fane thrust the gemstone towards the old man. "I can't do much for you, but this gem is worth several million. Take this as an offering of my gratitude."
"What?"
The human crowd was astonished when they saw that and at this moment their hearts were touched. Truly a wonderful gift from an ex-soldier to a family of martyrs.
"Young man, this... It's too valuable. I can't take it!"
