Chapter 172 One Hundred Million Dollars
Clarissa’s face remained icy, like an eternal glacier,
Listening to Apollo’s arrogant and confident words, she felt nothing but disgust.
She replied coldly, “Brag after you’ve actually accomplished it!”
“Bragging?”
Apollo’s lips curled up in a smug smile, unfazed by Clarissa’s attitude. “Anyone familiar with me knows I never brag! If I dare to say it, I can do
“Ms. Fox, what do you think?
“The Chevalier family has considerable influence in Skyefall. Whether it’s legitimate or underworld matters, we call the shots. If Skyefall Security were still a subsidiary of the Draco Group, we might have shown you souse respect. But now…
“Anyone who dare refuse me will find it impossible to operate in Skyefall!
*I will shut them down!

owner and general manager of Skyefall Security won’t be foolish enough to make that mistake, right?”
full of usence
Apollo’s expression turned icy cold as he glared at Judith, his eyes
A flash of anger crossed Judith’s eyes.
Apollo was threatening Skyefall Security. As its vice president, hour could she not be furious?
But in the end, she didn’t dare to show her anger. Instead, she put on an even more fawning sonde.
“Mr. Chevalier, you exaggerate. How could we refuse you or miss a chance to cooperate with the Chevalier family? I’m sure our collaboration will go smoothly.”
Osborne, sitting in a corner, felt his anger rising as he watched this scene.
He thought, “What is this vice president, Judith, up to?
If all the managers at Skyfall Security are like her, lacking backbone, I’ll have to consider overhauling the management teams.”
Apollo was very pleased with Judith’s behavior…
In his eyes, without the Draco Group’s backing, Skyefall Security was just an ordinary security company.
Apollo didn’t take them seriously at all.

In Skyfall, it would be too easy for the Chevalier family to crush a security company. A single word from him could cause severe losses for Skyefall Security.
That was why he was so confident, so certain that Skyefall Security wouldn’t dare refuse him.
a’ve got some sense.
Apollo told Judith, “To be the vice president of Skyefall Security, you must have some skill. If you ever think about it, you can come and join the Chevalier family.”
Judith was overjoyed.
“Thank you, Mr. Chevalier, If there’s an opportunity, I’d love to work on something big with you.”
Her expression grew even more ingratiating
Olet out a cold laugh, having already decided to fire Judith. He thought, “How did someone like her become the vice president of

Skyefall Security?
What is the general manager, Valentin Gibson, doing?”
Just then, the office door opened.
A middle–aged man in his forties stepped in. He had a strong presence, was tall and sturdy, and had an authoritative demeanor.
“Mr. Gibson, you finally arrived. Mr. Chevalier has been waiting, Judith quickly said.
“Mr. Chevalier, let me introduce you to our general manager, Valentin.”
Valentin nodded at Apollo, his expression neutral.

He quickly scanned the office environment, barely acknowledging the others until his gaze fell upon Osborne, causing him to pause briefly as if about to say something. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
But Osborne reacted quickly, shaking his head slightly.
Valentin was the only one who knew Osborne was the new owner of Skyefall Security. They had spoken on the phone before.
Although they hadn’t met, Valentin certainly had his photo and could recognize him.
Valentin subtly nodded at Osbome before turning to Apollo.
“Mr. Chevalier, nice to meet you.”
Apollo smiled faintly, “So, you’re the general manager, Valentin? I hear only you can decide on leasing the Class A defense system. I’ve come here to lease that system.
“A flat rate of 100 million dollars a year!
“If you agree, Skyefall Security will gain the Chevalier family’s friendship,”
Apollo finished speaking, and everyone looked shocked.
Donna frowned at Apollo, wanting to speak but ultimately staying silent.
One hundred million dollars was too low!
The Class A defense system included many high–tech defense weapons, all products of the Draco Group, many of which were not for sale
The cost of the system was exorbitant.
Even leasing it would typically start at 500 million dollars a year, with some willing to pay a billion dollars unable to secure it.
And yet, Apollo was offering only 100 million dollars!
Valentin’s expression turned cold as he glared at Apollo.
“One hundred million dollars?
“Mr. Chevalier, are you joking? Or did you misspeak?”
Apollo smiled faintly. “No, I’m not joking, nor did I misspeak. I said 100 million dollars. A yearly rent of 100 million dollars is a lot, and it comes with the Chevalier family’s friendship. That’s a huge gain.”
Valentin replied coldly, “What if I refuse?”
Apollo’s expression turned even colder, his tone threatening. “Then you should consider carefully. If you refuse, what Skyefall Security will receive from the Chevalier family will be, hostility.”
