Chapter 481: 171: I’ve never lost in my entire life, but I lost to a kid! _5
Elizabeth Thompson was holding in her anger.
She was here to see CEO Cooper today.
Since she heard that Mr. Terrence owned a business building around here, she thought she would try her luck. However, she didn’t meet Mr. Terrence, but instead bumped into that good-for-nothing.
It was so unlucky.
“Emma.”
At that moment, CEO Cooper’s voice rang in the air.
“CEO Cooper.” Hearing that, Elizabeth Thompson quickly put up a fake smile, walked up to him, and took his hand.
CEO Cooper was sixty years old this year.
His face was oily, and he had a beer belly.
Every time she saw him, Elizabeth wanted to throw up, especially when she thought about her first time being with him, she couldn’t help but feel sick.
But she had no choice now.
Reg Thompson needed funds to restart the Thompson Group.
Besides CEO Cooper, she couldn’t think of anyone else.
Ever since she got involved with CEO Cooper’s deals,
They moved back to the villa area.
At least they didn’t have to squeeze into a pigeonhole anymore.
Currently, the Thompson Clan was in a precarious situation, and they still needed CEO Cooper’s help, so Elizabeth Thompson had to endure the nausea.
CEO Cooper patted Elizabeth Thompson’s hand. “I have a meeting to attend. You go back first, remember to wait for me to come back tonight.”
“Alright.” Elizabeth Thompson nodded.
After sending Elizabeth away, CEO Cooper returned to his office building.
On the other side,
The servant knocked on Viola Thompson’s bedroom door, “Miss, there is an express delivery for you downstairs, the courier said it’s a very important item, and you need to sign it personally.”
“Coming.” Viola replied, closed her computer, and went downstairs.
The courier was standing in the hall.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary express delivery would not be allowed into the Thompson Family Manor.
But Tehuang Express had special privileges.
Every employee of Tehuang Express was professionally trained because they transported valuable items. Not only were the express fees expensive, but they were also equipped with real guns and bullets.
“Hello,” the courier was 1.8 meters tall, dressed coolly, and wearing white gloves, “Are you Miss Thompson?”
“That’s me.” Viola nodded slightly.
The courier handed the small box in his hand to her. “Please check the cargo.”
“No need, thank you.” Viola directly signed on the form.
“Have a pleasant Sunday.”
The courier took the signed receipt and left.
Viola went upstairs, opened the express box, removed the outer cardboard box, and saw a redwood box inside.
The redwood box was exquisite.
Carved with dragons and phoenixes,
the box was adorned with gold decoration, and there was a small bronze lock on it.
It had an ancient charm.
There was no keyhole in the bronze lock, but a series of Morse Code. Only by decoding the password could the box be opened.
Viola narrowed her eyes slightly.
The old man was interesting.
She enjoyed challenging difficult things.
Viola picked up the box and carefully examined the bronze lock.
Within ten minutes,
Click.
The bronze lock opened.
Viola took out her phone, snapped a photo, logged into an international app, and sent the photo to someone.
Soon, that person replied.
[?????]
After replying with this string of question marks, he immediately checked the express delivery receipt records.
That’s right.
She just received it!
[That was fast!]
[Are you even human, kid?]
Viola replied calmly: [When will you give me the item?]
[No way!]
[I need to come up with a new question! I need to make it harder for you!]
[Kid, you have to understand, blue moon grass is not something ordinary, I can’t just give it to you so easily. Besides, your friend is not suffering from a fatal illness, so they won’t die anytime soon!]
[This is the first time I’ve ever lost in my life! Kid, please understand!]
Viola raised an eyebrow and replied: [Last chance.]
Just four words.
She didn’t wait to see if the other person had read it, and Viola went offline.
That old man on the other side:
Who was actually asking for help, the kid or him?
Who was this mysterious kid that was so powerful?
The old man was very curious.
He contacted Tehuang Express again. “Old Mu, how many years have we been old friends? Can’t you really tell me the kid’s address?”
“Sorry, Mr. Sanders, the company has its rules, we also signed a confidentiality agreement with the customer, I can’t do anything about it.”
Tehuang Express was different from other express delivery companies, as they particularly valued customer privacy. If the recipient did not want to reveal their real address to the sender, they would use a code receipt method.
The recipient would send a numeric code to the company, and the company would take the code to the sender’s address to pick up the goods.
In this case, only the courier company knew the recipient’s address.
The old man was quite angry. “Can’t you help an old friend? I promise I won’t say it was you who told me!”
