Chapter 933 Ruin His Reputation
When Isaac heard that, he was speechless.
Then, he smiled stiffly. "Brother, are you kidding me? What's there to see? To be honest, I think that's just some tricks that they use to fool people. Don't mess with my reputation."
Jara snorted, "That crappy reputation of yours?"
"What's that? You're still looking down on me?"
In turn, Jara didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was enough to explain his dislike for him.
In an instant, Isaac was annoyed. Just as he was about to talk some sense to him, someone patted his shoulder gently.
"Mr. Mills!"
Looking back, it was a middle-aged man with a big belly.
His name was Travis Walker, and he was a real estate developer in Blink City. He had met Jara at a banquet before, so they knew each other too.
With a smile, Travis greeted. "Mr. Mills, Mr. Holland, you're both here."
Isaac nodded. "What's the matter?"
Travis handed over a document in his hand with an ingratiating smile on his face. "Mr. Mills, the land you took a fancy to last time was rejected by my fellows because they didn't know you. I know it and have already given them a good scolding. Here is the land transfer document. Please accept it."
Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly.
With a faint smile, he said, "Mr. Walker, what do you mean?"
Travis smiled with reverence and fear. "Mr. Mills, I know that my business is not worth your time, but it's my token of appreciation. Please accept it if you don't mind..."
Before he could finish his words, Isaac raised his hand and interrupted him.
Then, he said seriously, "Mr. Walker, I think you misunderstood me. I did consider buying your land for the development amusement park last time, but after considering it, I thought it was not suitable, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I appreciate your kindness. As for this land, please take it back."
Upon hearing this, Travis was a little confused.
Isaac continued, "What's more, we're serious businessmen, not bandits. Even if we really want to buy your land, we'll have to go through regular channels and procedures. You don't need to do this."
At the end of his words, he couldn't help but soften his tone and made it seem as though he was sorry.
Hearing that, Travis came to his senses and nodded quickly. "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Mills. Thank you so much."
Isaac forced a smile and waved him away.
After he left, Jara asked, "What's going on?"
Isaac sighed.
"Don't mention it. My dad let my cheap uncle to come work in Mills Group. Now that he is on board, he kept on taking advantage of his power to bully others, doing things like a rat. Didn't we see the land some time ago? At that time, we took a fancy to Travis's land, but we didn't want to buy it. I don't know when or where did my cheap uncle heard about it. Travis must be threatened by him, so he came to me to beg me."
Uopn hearing the explanation, Jara frowned.
"It's a disaster to have such a person on board."
Speaking of this, Isaac was also annoyed about it.
"You don't say. But he is my mother's younger brother. You know my mother. If you really drive him away, she will cry, make a fuss about it every day. Then we won't have peace at home."
When he explained it, it would be inappropriate for Jara to keep commenting.
After all, it was Isaac's family business. As a friend, it was enough for him to only give a piece of advice.
If he said more, it would inevitably be a bit of meddling in someone else's business.
With these thoughts in mind, he turned his gaze to the hall.
When he saw that most of the guests had arrived, Jara looked at the time. It was eight in the evening and he said in a low voice, "Let's begin."
With a nod, Isaac said, "Then I'll arrange it now."
"Yes."
After Isaac left, Emmeline came over.
She was followed by Quan, who was holding an antique wooden box in his hand. It was none other than the Jade of Heaven.
Upon seeing Jara, Emmeline asked, "Are we going to take it downstairs now?"
Jara nodded his head.
Without another word, she followed him downstairs.
At eight o'clock, the treasure-viewing convention officially began.
Although many people had said that Isaac liked to show off and often comment on his behavior, now that the convention was beginning, everyone's attention was still attracted.
At this time, the host had not yet come on stage. Everyone sat on the seats below and whispered to each other, guessing what the treasure would be today.
It was not until a beam of light was lit on the stage and the huge projector was cast on the white curtain did the venue gradually quiet down.
In the venue, there was only a beam of white light on the stage. The rest of the lights were dimmed down and the atmosphere was silent.
Suddenly, a crisp sound of high heels could be heard, and a hostess who dressed in an evening gown went on stage.
The white light followed her and finally stopped at a place on the left side of the stage.
A high-pitched and loud voice could be heard. "Good evening, everyone."
With the hostess's announcement, this grand convention officially began.
After making a brief introduction, the hostess was about to get to the point and introduced the treasure that would be presented tonight.
"I think many people here must have heard of this treasure that will be presented tonight and are very interested. It's the treasure that has been popular in the industry in recent years—the Jade of Heaven."
As soon as her voice fell, another beam of white light fell on the right side of the stage. Only then did everyone discover that there was a glass exhibition shelf there, in which a small piece of small, white jade was displayed. What else could it be if it was not the Jade of Heaven?
Many people had seen it at the auction.
Only, at that time, they weren't able to bid it. In the end, they left regretfully and thought that they wouldn't have a chance to see it again for the rest of their lives, but never did they expect that could see it again here.
All of a sudden, the crowd began to talk about it.
The hostess continued. "Some of you may know, the reason why the Jade of Heaven is a divine object is that it could bring the dead back to life and become immortal. This treasure was bid by Mr. Holland and Jara half a year ago. After careful study, he found that it has a total of twelve pieces, and the one that is currently being exhibited is only one of them."
As soon as she finished her piece, the audience was shocked and the discussions became louder.
Seeing that, the hostess was in no hurry to speak. After giving the audience some time to react, she continued.
"Someone once suspected that the rumors about the Jade of Heaven were true. Although we can't confirm this now, after investigation and analyzing tonnes of data from the ancient books, it is said that when 12 pieces of the Jade of Heaven are collected, something miraculous will happen.
"There is no definite answer to this magical matter—either to bring the dead back to life or make someone immortal. But after scientific research, the material of this jade pendant was never before seen on earth."
