Chapter 303: Chapter 303 - Three Opportunities
"Alright we have talked enough about us… now let's talk about how Mr. Trust could 'Contribute' for us." Christian said as a grin plastered on to his business like fat face.
"I hope Mr. Trust doesn't have any problems with that."
William understand that he was at the time that he had to make them satisfied now, because this was the most crucial moment for him right now and if he wasn't successful then it was going to be a big problem for him in the future.
So he smiled and said, "Of Course Mr. Christian, I already am aware of such a thing and I don't have any problem with some 'Contribution'."
"Excellent" Christian smiled, "That makes this much easier for both of us."
"So how do you want me to 'Contribute'?" William asked.
"Well there is many ways to contribute and that is by helping the 'Organization' with money, information, giving special items and in many more ways actually."
"And by doing that I also increase my value in the 'Organization'?" William asked intently as Christian had a glint in his eyes as he slowly nodded his head.
"Yes, that is the most forward way and also the slowest. But if you want to increase your value in the lowest time consuming way then there are a few things that many can do."
"Unfortunately, not many are lucky with such things and it takes luck for such an opportunity to come for someone to utilize it… and fortunately for you, you have an opportunity like that… a great opportunity actually for such a thing, right now."
Christian drank his glass and then pointed, "Walter, come and help fill my glass."
"Yes, Sir." Walter came to him and filled his drink as Christian drank from his blood filled wine glass again.
"Ahh… such a delightful taste… unfortunately you are in your mourning state or you could have had some of the glaze morni that I specially got for just this occasion… but alas dark things come for us in unfortunate timing."
"Yes, it does." Jovan said, "But later about stuff like that, you were saying how Mr. Trust could contribute to our cause with that much faster rate."
William knew at that moment that he had something that they wanted especially. So right now, he had to either give that to them or hold off until he could find a thing that was satisfiable for both of them. He just needed to know what it was that had garnered interests from them. So he remained quiet until Christian spoke.
"Well the thing that is a great opportunity for you is actually something that you are currently working on right now. It's not just one but its two, if I'm correct."
William raised brow and said with curiosity, "Two?"
Jovan nodded, "Yes, the first thing is the project that your father said to accomplish right at the moment of his unfortunate death."
William remembered that he was talking about the charity organization and understood what they were going for but he was dissatisfied with such a notion. He didn't want to give out his biggest and the one with the most potential to both of them.
"You mean the one for the charitable organization that my father started at his end?"
Jovan nodded, "Yes, that one. We were wondering if you are willing to give us a few percentages of that project. And don't worry about money, we are willing to pay for it.
The 'Organization can see that it is a grand project that you are making a stride for and wants to join in on it too."
Stay tuned to m-v l|e'm,p y r
"Yes I understand what you're saying." William then frowned slightly, "But unfortunately my father's final wish was to not let the charity foundation be disturbed in any way… and he even took some measures to make sure that doesn't happen. I'm sorry but I don't think I can help you with this project."
Jovan frowned, "Indeed, this is something we haven't thought of before… this will upset the higher ones in some ways."
"But fortunately for us, we still have two other ways available to us." Christian suddenly said gathering both William and Jovan's attention as they said, "Two?"
Then Jovan was the first to speak, "Two, Christian? That makes it a three, no? I thought that there were only two things that they spoke about."
Christian drank one gulp of his wine, "Yes, they did spoke about two… until that happened."
"That happened?… That!" Jovan asked as he eyed Christian with a look who only gave him a specific look which made Jovan understand everything. William looked at them, not understanding what game they were playing but knew enough to understand that whatever it was, it was an organizational secret that they didn't want to talk about in front of him… not yet.
"So for that, we have a third option… but we can talk about it later, let's talk about the second one first before going so far ahead."
"Well you can speak for the second one." Jovan said and leaned back out of the talk.
Christian nodded slightly, "The second one… is the one project that you currently are about to go in with the Saintsgate Great House."
William immediately understood that he was talking about the project about the one where they had to go to that unexplored location and locate some ancient treasures. He nodded, "Yes, the one about exploring at that far away location in search of some treasures, I suppose this is the one you're talking about?"
Christian nodded, "Precisely that, I have heard that it is a grand project… a much much grander one that Mr. Trust is supporting all on his own."
William nodded but in his mind only one thing was thought was revolving, 'How the hell did they know about this? Not many knew about this project beside Saintsgate and a few of my associates…
I don't really like the smell of another rat in my house.'
He thought with annoyance but didn't let any of it show on the outside, "Yes, My family is supporting it all on its own."
Christian smiled like a shark about to devour his prey, "Good, it's the main thing we want to talk about. The 'Organization' has taken a keen interest on this project as well and wants to own some percentage of it as well… if you are willing that is."
William didn't need to think twice to nod. He already knew even before contacting the 'Organization' that he would have to give something that would satisfy them and he knew that it would had to be this deal with Saintsgate that he had gotten.
This wasn't something that made him frown but instead he smiled and accepted it as this was not such a big deal for him except for the connection that he was about to make with both individuals.
William nodded, "Yes, how much does the 'Organization' want?"
"45%, but don't worry about the money, we are willing to pay for it too."
William frowned, "This is quite a big percentage, Mr. Trust… I can make it maybe 5%..."
So began the start of a haggling war which William was quickly able to lower it down to an acceptable amount.
