Chapter 168 167. I Am Man, Pretending To Be A Man, Disguise As Another Man II



"Wait!? We already agreed on the deal, This is the word given to me by Madam Miller."

Before Isabella or Liza could answer Wlex, Dick stepped in to stop things from escalating further, He was 90 percent sure that Alex was just messing around trying to exact revenge for his insult.

No woman will spend that much money for a giggle like him. God knows how many women he slept with before? At best he is a good-looking piece of meat, Which can be used but not brought.

So he was not afraid of losing this deal against Alex, He was more concerned about the price increase, Which Isabella certainly did seeing an opportunity.

That's why he spoke in a hurry, Reminding her that she did give him a word for a deal.

"Since when have I given you my word? We were still discussing the deal, remember? You gave me an ultimatum, Which I have yet to announce my decision upon."

Isabella does not allow Dick to play with words and just ruthlessly destroys the argument Dick trying to create to prevent her from changing her mind.

Which is too late. The moment Alex mentioned taking this mall, This mall was his. If this can even decrease his anger a little, She was ready to give it to him in the hope of his forgiveness.

So not to mention she did not give her word, Even if she did, She did not bait eyes to go back from her words to give this place to Alex.

"Yeah, You hear that poor boy? The deal is done yet, My darling you will pay for this mall in full, right?"

Alex had to intervene fearing Isabella said too much in emotion pouring cold water all over his plan.

He stopped her speaking as he shifted the topic towards Dick, He stuck Liza closer to his body till her big weapons squeezed by his body, As he looked at Dick provokingly, Acting as a bitch character in the novel, Who others can't wait to get face slapped.

He pointed his slender finger at Dick and laughed at the high pitch but sadly it did not have the expected effect as his charm and Halo Of Perfection just make it unique and special, So he was only able to attract Dicks hate not anyone else.

This is sad as he at least one time wanted to experience what it feels like to be the protagonist, Who first gets taunted and then able to slap others in the face.

But pity, He is too smart and handsome for that to happen to him.

"Yes, I will pay, It's just 60 Billion, I have around 100 in this card, So you can rest assured, We will get this mall today."

Liza was lost in her paradise. She never thought it would be this easy to get close to Alex, One of her biggest advantages is her huge supply of money. She had lots of it and did not know where to spend it.

If she knew this before that, to get close to Alex, She just needed to bring him to a mall, Which has a game store. She brought all the malls in the capital just for him.

Sadly, she did not know this before but it is still not too late. Now that she knows she has a chance to win his heart and get him away from an unloving person like Alia.

Not that she decided it, She just reached into her purse and pulled out a bunch of cards, In which she randomly picked one and showed it to Isabella wanting to have it over to finalise the deal before putting others back.

Isabella did not reach out to take the card, Not only because she will never allow her love rival to buy something from her, Which love of her life wanted? That literally will be greening herself.

But also because her eyes landed on a shiny mat of black card, Which did not have any printing on it other than the name of a person and some important details.

Other than that there was just a golden symbol of the sword and shield on the right-top corner of the card, Which seems it was engraved with an actual gold seeing how luxurious its looks.

Isabella could not be any more unfamiliar with that card or a logo, Her family also has this card but it's a treasure of her family, Always kept safe in the treasury and can only be used on when it's a matter of life and death of family.

Why you may ask? Simple, As any supernatural here is also a bank that has and represents immense power and status for their customers.

This bank's name is Sword and Shield, Yeah very generic name without any creativity but that is for a reason.

After all this bank is opened by the same psychopath-crazy scientists, Who created body strengthening serum, Those people do not give a shit about the name they were all about what product they make, And they do make some busted products.

Like this bank, Although it might not be their intention but logo of the bank now represents protection and power, Which these banks give to their customers.

If you want to buy anything warrior-related things, Such as medicines, weapons and such, You need to be a simple customer of this bank, As your level increases additional perks of it are also open to them.

First of all is of course protection, If you have their top-level card then other than A-Rank and S-Rank, No one else can kill the user, Or if you pay the price, They could also not harm you, Which is even applicable to A-Rank warriors.

That was the shield part, Sword part as anyone can guess, Can heir bank's special mercenary to put a bounty on the person you want dead, If you have enough leverage you can even get an S-Rank, But that's yet to be proven.

Other than that, The exclusivity only to this card, priority on auctions and discount on things are normal, Only thing is that you need to be invited to get this black card by the organisation behind the bank.

The qualification you need is not known, No matter how much money the other party is, It's not guaranteed that they will receive this card, So it's a matter of chance to get it.

That's why it is a treasured possession of any big family who has it in Berlin city, But what did she just do now?

The mighty card in her eyes, Which she store as a most precious thing in her possession, is now treated as an ordinary card by the woman in front of her.

The threat level of Liza, Which was not so high because of her short stature, Now risen tremendously, Men do prefer little tall women but they always want mighty rich and successful women.

She knows Alex is also from a rich family, Mad Amara being an S-Rank in his family, Should mean they definitely have this black card. After all even those psychopaths could not ignore the status S-Rank represents.

But that was an even more scary thing for Isabella, This means this woman and Alex have similar status backgrounds, Didn't that make them perfect for each other? 

She had no problem if Liza, Also join in the group of ladies of Alex but the problem is a fear of her taking him away and not allowing Isabella to accept Liza as she kinda did with Amara.

"No thanks, If he wants, I can jus- "

"Madam Gayler, This is 10 billion more than what this man is offering, So why hesitate? The choice is obvious, Just sell it to us."

Isabella is ready to deny Liza and just hand over this mall to Alex. She will not allow Liza to get plus points in Alex's eyes, not when it was at the expense of losing her value in Alex's eyes.

But before she did that, Alex had to once again interfere by cutting her mid-sentence diverting the topic back on the line and preventing any mishaps.

Isabella here feels like crying. Each time Alex called her Madam Gayler it's like someone stabbing her in the chest. It's painful to hear.

She wanted to argue, ask him aloud, Why he was so angry at her? What did she do? All it is by her son, She did nothing.

But stopped herself, She can't blame him. She knew Nathan's attitude toward Alex, it was her duty to correct that, Which she failed to do, So she is solely responsible for the consequences of it.

It's just now she kinda hates the wayward behaviour of Nathan, She decided to teach him thoroughly on how a man should act in society but before that, She wanted him to apology Alex for the discomfort he caused him.

"70 Billion, I will pay 70 Billion UC, Sell it to me now."

Dick who was practically ignored by all other than Alex decided to speak as he saw a card in Liza's hand.

He was not paying attention to Liza When she pulled out her cards, So he did not see a Black card of her and even if he did, He could not able to know what meaning that card holds.

He does not become the head of the family yet, So this core secrete is yet to learn by him, If it was his mother here then that will be a different story.

Right now all he saw was that Liaz like an idiot in his eyes was ready to pay that huge amount for no good man, He finally panicked and bid 70 Billion, 20 Billion more than what he made his bottom line.

This is how Ml reacts. They can do anything to get what they want, Which is quite an easy thing to exploit.

"80 Billion."

Alex did not hesitate as he increased the price and made clear that he too wanted this mall badly, So ML like a good boy fall into his trap, Gears in his mind were running as he waited to see how Dick will react
