Wan Bangda's smile froze on his face.
Wang Chen's attitude was far too forceful!
Although Wan Bangda had acted very respectfully just now, that had merely been a facade. He represented one of the Empire's top ten conglomerates, as well as the Wan super-financial clan.
Let alone some insignificant Imperial Major or knight—even Imperial generals and great nobles had to give the Wanhai Group face.
Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit?
Wan Bangda instinctively straightened his back, his expression turning cold. "Lord Wang, I have come on behalf of the Group this time in the hope of reaching an agreement with you."
As he spoke, he opened his briefcase, took out a check, and placed it before Wang Chen.
Then he looked at Wang Chen with confidence.
Wang Chen swept his gaze over it and found that it was a bearer cashier's check issued by the Imperial Bank, worth ten million Star Yuan.
The Imperial Bank was the largest bank in the Holy Light Empire. The royal family held fifty-five percent of its shares, and it also issued the universally accepted Star Yuan. Whether in scale, strength, or credibility, it was unquestionably the best.
Imperial Bank bearer cashier's checks were entirely equivalent to cash, and on the underground black market, they circulated even more readily than cash.
Wang Chen smiled. "What does this mean?"
Wan Bangda replied with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "Lord Wang, let's not beat around the bush. I know that you rescued Xu Chengzhi, the Xu family's heir, on Tampas Star. You also know Mu Haitao from Draei City, and I hear you have quite a good relationship?"
"It's just that Xu Chengzhi and Mu Haitao have some misunderstandings about our Wanhai Group, making everyone rather unhappy."
Wang Chen remained impassive.
