Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 996 - 1000

After listening to Si Yiyan’s explanation, Gu Yuehan and the other two had a clearer idea of what happened. They were rather impressed by the shrewd and brilliant way he had handled the matter.

Gu Yuehan said, “Duke Berveld is willing to give us the rights to the mine, partly because he wants to thank Lucifer and your Sis-in-law for saving his grandson and also because he wants to initiate a cooperation with Lucifer. Boss, what are your thoughts on it?”

Lucifer and Duke Berveld had always been cooperating with each other, though it was always superficial. This time, Duke Berveld had the intention to work closely with him solely in business, without getting politics involved. That was extremely beneficial to Lucifer.

Si Yiyan answered calmly, “We’ll wait!”

There were various meanings to his words.

As the largest firearms dealer in Russia, Duke Moville was definitely interested in working with Si Yiyan, who owned 60% of the raw materials market. Duke Berveld had once looked him up with the intention of forging a cooperation, too. However, he was afraid that Si Yiyan would find him to be too condescending and turn him down.

This time, Lucifer managed to assert dominance in the aristocratic circle because of Duke Moville, allowing Lucifer to exhibit the tip of the iceberg of their abilities. His grandson’s incident had also made Duke Berveld take Lucifer more seriously. Hence, he decided to forge friendly ties with Lucifer.

Duke Berveld was the most prestigious aristocrat in Russia and hence, he knew more about Lucifer compared to the other aristocratic families. Previously, he had belittled Lucifer because they were laying low. After all, there tends to be a change in the hierarchy over time. However, the tip of the iceberg was already enough to capture Duke Berveld’s attention and make him view Lucifer in a different light. Lucifer had always been known to weigh the pros and cons of everything and remain humble despite being formidable.

Xu Xianghu asked, “Boss, what do you mean?”

Si Yiyan exclaimed smilingly, “It’s not enough!”

Yueze immediately understood what he meant.

A little confused, Xu Xianghu asked, “What’s not enough? Boss, could you not beat around the bush with me? I’m slow-witted. I’ll do a good job if you tell me to commit murder or arson instead.”

Si Yiyan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Yueze snorted with laughter and teased. “You’re indeed well built but simple-minded.”

Gu Yuehan explained, “Duke Berveld may have expressed his goodwill, but he’s not sincere enough. Boss wants them to bring the benefits to us themselves.”

Scratching his head, Xu Xianghu asked, “How could there be such a good thing?”

Yueze smacked his head and chastised. “You’re so silly. You wouldn’t know how to execute this. Just follow Boss’ instructions.”

Plan A was not purely a plan to eliminate the snitch. In fact, Lucifer had greater intentions. It was also a way of exhibiting Rex’s formidable political status and Lucifer’s power. It also served as a warning to others.

Duke Berveld was enticed by the power that Lucifer had exhibited. He would probably offer them the benefits himself.

That was Si Yiyan’s true intentions.

Some people were well built but simple-minded and enjoyed resorting to violence to solve problems. There were also those who enjoyed using racial discrimination to mock and humiliate others. Yet, none of them could defeat Si Yiyan, who was extremely scheming and shrewd.
