Chapter 212
On the other side, Thomson had always wanted to expand his family business back in his home country. The real estate industry in the local market was flourishing and Thomson also intended to profit from it.
Of all places, he thought Agaphen City was a great place to start with. Therefore, he planned to build a connection with Tobias.
"I'm very interested in the land located on the north side of Agaphen City, and looking at how businesses are done locally, money alone is not enough; connections are essential. That's pretty disappointing." Thomson sighed deeply.
However, Tobias did not carry on the conversation.
After the polite greetings, he managed to capture one of Thomson's weaknesses, and he thought it was the time to use it against him.
Tobias spoke in an indifferent tone as if he was narrating something common. "Mr. Perry, have you heard that there is a worldwide underground organization?"
"What organization?" Thomson's eyes were filled with doubts.
Tobias parted his lips and continued, "An organization that hunts little girls."
Suddenly, Thomson's expression changed.
However, he quickly regained his composure. "Mr. Whitlock, are you interested in this organization as well?"
Tobias smiled, but it did not reflect in his eyes. "Mr. Perry, I don't have such a fetish. I heard that a few people from this organization died a few years ago. The police were initially going to investigate
it but you suppressed the investigation. Why did you do so?"
Storms were ranging at the bottom of Thomson's eyes and different emotions appeared on his face.
"Mr. Whitlock, could it be that those people have something to do with you?" After a while, Thomson fixed his eyes on Tobias.
He wanted to know Tobias's motives for inquiring about this matter.
"The people who died tragically have nothing to do with me. Relax, Mr. Perry. I am not here for revenge."
Thomson sighed with relief.
Although the Perry Group had a strong business foundation, if Tobias really wanted to pick on them, Perry Group might not even be a match for Tobias.
"Mr. Whitlock, then why are you concerned about this matter?" Thomson tried asking tentatively.
Tobias's eyes darkened. "Mr. Perry, surely there's a reason for me asking, but I apologize for I can't tell you now."
Thomson pondered for a moment.
"Mr. Whitlock, it turns out that those policemen were taken away by your men."
"Yes, they are." Tobias had no qualms for admitting it.
Thomson stared at Tobias. "It seems that you're determined to find out the truth?"
His gaze was pressuring.
Thomson had been in the business field for many years and he had an established status. His stern aura was enough to frighten ordinary people.
Tobias looked back at Thomson. Looking on par with his gaze, his expression remained the same.
"Indeed, Mr. Perry. I insist on finding the truth."
Thomson smiled and said, "If that's the case, I have nothing much to tell."
"The land at the north of Agaphen City. If you're willing to disclose information, I will hand you the land."
Thomson was stunned.
Getting that land in Agaphen City was a great temptation. If he could have that piece of land, maybe the Perry Group could officially enter the country.
Also, he had wasted a lot of effort to get his hand on this piece of land but it was unsuccessful.
Right at that moment, Tobias actually offered him that piece of land.
In fact, it was nothing secretive that couldn't be disclosed. After all, it wouldn't pose much of a threat to the Perry Group after such a long time.
Thomson's eyes were surging with emotions.
"Mr. Whitlock, let me think about it for a night. I'll let you know the answer the next day." Thomson stood up.
Though he knew the reply, he wanted to wait till the next day just so that he could emphasize the importance of this matter. Besides, he didn't want to reveal the matters to others so easily.
Tobias stood up as well. He held his hand out and said, "Mr. Perry, see you tomorrow then."
"See you tomorrow." Thomson shook his hand.
It was already late when Tobias returned to his bedroom.
To prevent himself from disturbing Natalie, he decided not to turn on the light.
Under the dim light along the corridor, he could tell that the bedroom was different from the rest.
Surprisingly, he did not have any fancy thoughts at that moment.
He felt anxious when the truth was about to be revealed.
He was uncertain how the truth would turn out to be.
On the spacious bed, rose- colored tassels were dangling down from the bed curtain.
Natalie laid on the bed and her shallow breathing could be heard.
She was like a sleeping beauty, serene and sweet.
Tobias' gaze deepened.
After a while, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Natalie's face.
The young maiden's skin was soft and plum.
Upon touching, it felt like the best silk.
It was a breathtaking sensation.
"Natalie, goodnight," Tobias whispered, then laid next to Natalie.
Natalie had a dream.
The same dream kept repeating itself.
She lived in a small bungalow with a garden. A voice attracted her attention.
However, she did not find her doll this time.
She saw a handsome young man.
His appearance was like the calm river streams in a painting that made people feel comfortable.
Natalie smiled sweetly. "Jack."
Jack, whom she called, held her hand.
"Natalie, I'll bring you to look for your mother," the youngster said.
Natalie was bewildered.
Madison's fierce face immediately came into her mind.
Natalie subconsciously pulled her hand away from the boy's grip. "I don't want to find her. She's a bad person."
The young man was puzzled. "Natalie, your mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. How can she be a bad person?"
Natalie was dumbfounded.
She really couldn't picture Madison as the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Jack." Natalie looked at the young boy and said, "You need to get your eyes checked."
The youth was slightly stunned.
A thick fog rose from every direction and there was no trace of the young man.
Natalie panicked.
As the fog faded, Natalie arrived at a garden.
There were all kinds of colorful lollipops in the garden.
Natalie was overjoyed.
She picked up a pink lollipop and was about to put it into her mouth.
However, a loud noise sounded like an electric motor pierced the air.
Natalie was blown away.
She opened her eyes.
There was no more garden. There were no more lollipops.
Natalie was on a big bed. A buzzing object suddenly appeared in front of her.
Even though she had never used the item before, she had definitely heard about it!
Natalie surely knew what it was.
It was all the stuff that was scattered all over the bed the night before.
She had no time to sort them as she was so exhausted and instantly fell asleep as soon as she was in her bed.
As it turned out, there was no lollipop. She held onto this object and assumed it to be the lollipop when she was asleep.
Luckily, the object was buzzing. Otherwise, she might really put it into her mouth. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Natalie tossed it aside.
Oh gosh, why did she even have such a thing with her?
She quickly disposed of the item as if it was something unwanted. Then, Natalie finally noticed a deep gaze was watching her.
Natalie's breathing stopped.
