The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2809

A tsunami would be sufficient to submerge the entire forest, let alone a forest fire?

This was where the bottom line would be defeated.

Arrington did not speak anymore for a long time.

His eyes were like that of a falcon as he keenly observed the expression of the father and son in front of him. He kept all of the changes in their facial expression, their eyes, and even their movements, firmly in his mind. 2

Arrington's greatest ability was his ability to observe a person's body language and read his mind.

After staying by Lord Schulz's side for so many years, Arrington's eyes could basically be more accurate as compared to a polygraph.

He could clearly and firmly determine that the father and son in front of him were already falling for the temptation.

This also made him finally heave a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself, 'Lord Schulz was still worried that two billion dollars would not be enough to tempt the Harker family. It seems as though the psychological price of the Harker family was not as high as Lord Schulz had expected. In fact, two billion dollars seems to be a little too much. If I had begun bargaining from one billion dollars, even if we were to give counteroffers back and forth, I'd certainly be able to settle the Harker family with just one and a half billion dollars! It's really a pity that we'd have made a loss of five hundred million dollars for nothing.

Moreover, if this price were to continue, two billion dollars a year would be equivalent to twenty billion dollars in ten years... In other words, we would be spending at least five billion dollars in excess in ten years...' 5

But, on second thought, 'Since the Schulz family is facing a very big and urgent crisis now and since Lord Schulz's own safety and security is already an issue, this is really not the time for us to be bargaining. We should hurry up and get the Harker family to go over there as the top priority is to ensure that the Harker family can do their best to protect and ensure Lord Schulz's safety. Lord Schulz would certainly have his own plan. He would only be maintaining this remuneration amount for the Harker family for a year or two at most. As soon as the crisis has been averted, Lord Schulz will absolutely not continue using such a high price to support the Harker family.' 2

As he thought about this, Arrington felt a little more at ease.

After that, he spoke up and asked Holden, "Lord Harker, I wonder what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Holden felt a dry pain in his throat. He swallowed his saliva before he spoke up, "I really would not have expected Lord Schulz to think so highly of the Harker family..."

Arrington laughed and said, "That's only natural. It's not only a day or two that Lord Schulz has valued the Harker family greatly."

As he spoke, Arrington waved his hand as he smiled and said, "Lord Harker, we should just stop making idle conversations. I've already conveyed all of Lord Schulz's words to you. Since you are the head of the Harker family, you'll have to give me a clear answer on whether the Harker family would be willing to accept Lord Schulz's invitation."

Holden nodded. He calmly analyzed the pros and cons of this matter if the Harker family were to accept or reject this proposal.

There would be countless benefits if he were to agree to it. 2

If they were to go back to becoming the Schulz family's subordinates, with sufficient money, they would be able to provide the various resources that were needed for the descendants of the Harker family to train and cultivate their martial arts regardless of the cost.

Perhaps within a few years, the Harker family would be able to produce a group of outstanding geniuses such as Rosalie.

This would be of great significance to the Harker family.

This was because as soon as there was significant progress in the younger generation's overall strength, the entire Harker family would be able to quickly build up the distance with their rivals. The Harker family had hundreds of years of foundation, and the greatest dream of every head of the Harker family was to enable the Harker family to become the top domestic martial arts family.

To reach the top would mean that they would be so high in level, so much so that everyone else would yield to them.

They would no longer be one of the eight great families, one of the four great families, or even one of the three big families.

Instead, they would be the biggest and strongest family!

There would not be anyone else!

This would be the benefit of agreeing to the Schulz family.

In contrast, what were the disadvantages of agreeing to the Schulz family?

Holden thought about it, and it seemed as though apart from the discomfort that he felt in his heart and aside from the fact that he felt sorry for his daughter, Yashita, and his granddaughter, Rosalie, there was nothing else.

There were really no other reasons...

On one hand, it would be the Harker family's century-old plan, and on the other hand, he would be letting his daughter and granddaughter down.

There was indeed a very great difference in the balance from the very beginning.

Holden suddenly felt as though he really did not need to hesitate at all for this kind of problem.

What was the point of hesitating anymore? 6
