The assistant from earlier handed a lit cigar to Bernic.
Bernie took a puff and blew a smoke ring toward the woman.
Seeing this, Stella instantly regretted coming along. Had she known, she would have just stayed on the plane and slept.
Abraham narrowed his eyes slightly. “Say it. What’s your condition?”
Bernie took another drag from his cigar. “That item seems pretty important to Mr. Abraham, doesn’t it?”
Abraham did not respond, but his silence was as good as confirmation.
Bernie gave a kindly smile, but his gaze Abraham turned around
slid over to Stella. He had noticed her the mome
She was not tall, and her figure did not look particularly mature either.
Stella noticed him sizing her up and instinctively moved a little closer to Abraham.
Bernie grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. “There’ve always been rumors that Mr. Abraham’s indifferent to women. So this is your type, huh? Rare find.”
Petite women were not uncommon, but finding one that hit all the right notes? That was hard. Especially with that round, babyish face… It just looked so soft.
“So, where’d you find this little thing, Mr. Abraham?” His tone was lewd, as if he were evaluating an item for sale.
Clearly, Bernie had no idea Stella was raised by Abraham. He just assumed she was another plaything he had brought along.
The moment the words landed, a chill spread in Abraham’s gaze, and his look toward Bernie turned dangerous. But Bernie’s eyes were glued to Stella, utterly oblivious to the shift in atmosphere.
Eddie twitched at the corner of his mouth as he glanced at Bernic.
This guy’s screwed.
Abel also glanced at Eddie, clearly surprised that someone in this world was even more suicidal
than him
Abraham checked the time on his wristwatch. “Name your terms.”
His voice was laced with impatience.

pointed at Stella with the hand holding the cigar. Let me have her for a day, and the item is yours. How about it? Not a bad deal for you, right, Mr. Abraham?”
Stella immediately fumed. She wanted to kill him.
But thinking of why Abraham came here and the fact that he was even willing to negotiate terms, it was obvious the item was important to him.
Stella clenched her fists, then forced herself to remain seated.
But beside her. Abraham reached to his waist, pulled out a gun, and set it casually beside his wine glass.
The dark, cold muzzle pointed straight at Bernie.
Tension instantly gripped the room.
Bernie’s bodyguards also reached for their weapons, but Bernie raised a hand to stop. them.
Stella’s entire body tensed.
Abraham’s large, steady hand rested on her slender knee, but the words he spoke to Bernie were laced with danger. I didn’t come here today to make deals with you.”
Bernie’s expression darkened.
Abraham continued. The item. I’m taking it. As for your condition….
He paused mid–sentence.
Looking at Bernie again, his eyes grew colder, more lethal. “I gave you a chance. Since you don’t want to state your terms, I’ll take it as you not wanting anything in return.”
Eddie was shocked at how Abraham said it.
Doesn’t want anything? Bernie was infamous on Kealis Island for being greedy. Anyone doing business with him felt like they were being wrung dry.
On the way here. Eddie had been thinking…
No one had ever managed to get a good deal from Abraham. One refuses to be fleeced, and the other insists on fleecing. What kind of deal was ever going to come of that? But now it looked like… Bernie was really leaving empty–handed.
Seeing the gun by the wine glass, Eddie could not help but sigh
As expected of Abraham. Never takes a loss, no matter the battlefield.
“In that case, there’s nothing left to discuss,” Bernie said. He shoved the woman on his lap aside and stormed off, seething with rage.

At the doorway. Bernie turned and looked back at Abraham. “You’re not the only one looking for that item. Mr. Abraham. You might want to think this through. A man should never let a woman ruin a major deal. You’re the head of the Scott family. Surely you understand that.”
Feeling superior by a whole generation, Bernie struck a patronizing tone.
Abraham shot him a cold glance.
Their gazes clashed like blades in the air. Finally, Bernie let out a sneer and left with his crowd of
women.
Soon, only Abraham’s people were left in the room.
Stella looked at him. “Is that item really that important?”
Judging by his expression, probably extremely
