Chapter 557

Chapter 557:
Quentin smiled, but he was in no rush to negotiate.
Instead, he produced a document and placed it beside the phone. “Please take a look at this first, Mr. Clark. This is a notarized forensic report that confirms the authenticity of the video. It officially states that there are no alterations or any manner of forgery done to the file.”
Lucas raised an eyebrow as he picked up the report and skimmed through it.
It was clear Quentin had prepared everything.
Lucas silently put the document down and looked at Quentin again.
Quentin said, “I won’t beat around the bush, Mr. Clark. In exchange for this video, I want the 0106 plot on Icewilde Street in Marshmill.”
Lucas’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Standing behind Quentin, Gordon was shocked upon hearing that.
The man had actually dared to ask for that!
That piece of land was worth billions.
“Mr. Mason,” Gordon spoke up before Lucas could respond. “Don’t you think your request is a little too much?”
Quentin smiled and made no attempt to deny it. “I do know that trading a simple video for a billion-dollar property sounds a bit absurd. But the real question here is—how much value does this one video hold?”
There was a pause as Quentin leaned in slightly, his eyes never leaving Lucas’s face. “Ms. Wright is currently caught in a whirlwind of wild rumors, yes? I’ve never been in similar situations before, but I’m pretty sure it’s not a position anyone would enjoy.
I am aware that you’ve been investigating this matter behind the scenes for days now, Mr. Clark.
In all that time, have you found anything useful? Any concrete evidence? I have very solid proof right here.
And that’s exactly why I think it’s worth exchanging for a piece of land of lucrative value.
The question now is, do you think this evidence is that valuable?” Quentin’s lips slowly curled into a sly smile. “Depending on how you look at it, Mr. Clark, this video may well be worth millions or nothing at all.
I’ve said everything I needed to say.
Please take your time thinking the matter over.
I will patiently wait for your answer.”
After saying that, he put the phone back into the safe, locked it through all three layers of security, and stood up to leave.
Quentin was turning away when Lucas suddenly said, “I accept your terms.”
Both Quentin and Gordon turned to Lucas with shocked expressions.
“Mr. Clark,” Quentin exclaimed in astonishment, “don’t you need more time to consider this carefully?”
“There is nothing else to consider.” Lucas nodded at Gordon and said, “Prepare the necessary documents for the land transfer.”
