Chapter 409
The well-featured man with tanned skin and brown eyes looked less than forty years old. There was a
scar on his left lower jaw, but it could not obscure his original appearance. He raised his head and
looked at Xavier. "Mr. Jones, sit down, please."
He spoke the King's English fluently.
Xavier didn't sit down. Instead, he looked down at him and said coldly, "Just tell me why you brought
me here?"
"You might have misunderstood. I sent someone to invite you here." A faint smile appeared on his face.
He stood up with his elbows on the table and looked at Xavier without showing any anger.
Xavier frowned slightly and collected his thoughts. He just wanted to figure out what he was going to Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
do. He was in a hurry to go back.
Arya would be anxious if she couldn't find him.
"Why don't we sit down and talk?" The general made a gesture of invitation.
Xavier sat down. He had to escape before figuring out what they were going to do.
The general sat back in his chair and said slowly, "This time, I invited you here as I want to borrow
funds from you..."
The battle required a lot of money to mobilize weapons and munitions to upgrade military equipment.
Xavier's expression remained unchanged, not because he was unwilling to lend, but because he
couldn't.
"I'm afraid I might let you down. I don't have much money."
Hearing this, the general couldn't help but smile, "You are so modest."
And he took out a document and put it on the table, saying, "S&H Inc."
He didn't talk much, and he just wanted Xavier to know that he knew a lot.
Xavier's expression changed.
He did not look at the document, but said, "I will not get involved in the war. You should find someone
with deep pockets."
Hearing his refusal, the general's expression darkened. He tapped his fingers on the document and
remained silent for a moment before he spoke slowly. "It seems that you still don't understand. If you
don't lend me money, you won't be able to leave here."
He had received an external fund to get rid of him, but when he saw the document, he knew his identity
and changed his mind.
Because he needed Xavier's money, the general faked his death on the plane after saving him.
So people would think Xavier was dead.
Xavier frowned. He couldn't imagine what Arya would do at the news.
"You have a beautiful wife and two lovely children." The general leaned back in his chair, his hands on
the armrest. He added, "We can be friends and benefit each other. I will also treat your wife and
children with courtesy. If you insist, we..."
He was aggressive.
Xavier put his hands on his lap, and slowly tightened his grip, thinking that the general had done a
thorough investigation, and the general could threaten Arya and his children...
He could not remain calm.
The general didn't want his reply at once. He said, "I'll give you time to think about it, but don't try to
escape. Otherwise, your family will be in danger. I warn you."
Xavier compressed his lips and said nothing. He was worried that Arya thought he was dead and...
It was no accident that the plane failed. Obviously, someone had tampered with the plain. He was
worried that something would hurt her while he was away.
He could no longer compose himself at this moment, with his jaw dropping.
He had to escape. But joining them, which would lead to perpetual wars, was not a way out.
He came out of the house. Nata, who was about to walk in, glanced at Xavier. Many rich people were
old, or at least fifty years old. She didn't expect him to be so young.
"Why are you here?"
The general looked at Nata and asked.
She walked to the chair and sat down leisurely, raising her eyebrows. "I came to see what my brother is
up to."
"So you see?" A sum of money could only meet a temporary need, while real wealth could create long-
term income.
He had known this long ago, but no one wanted to invest. So he must seize this golden opportunity.
The annual net income of S&H Inc could cover their annual expenditure.
Nata leaned forward, picked up and looked at the document on the table, saying, "Can he really help
us?"
The general looked serious, thinking that Xavier had to lend him money.
As he could save him, he could also kill him.
"I can tell that he is a tough cookie." Although Nata did not know Xavier well, she could know he was a
man of insight and might not surrender, judging from the arrogance in his eyes.
The general smiled, "Every man has his weakness. He cares about his wife and children, and we have
a chance."
Just now, he observed Xavier's every move, and found that every time he mentioned his family, Xavier
fell silent because he cared about them!
Nata looked at her brother, who had his own plans and thoughts, so she kept silent.
She knew that Xavier would do them good, and without financial support, they would lead a tougher
life...
