Top Notch War God

Chapter 26

Lord Willis hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. "Fine, I'll sign!"

"Dad, you can't sign it. If you do, we'll lose two million!"

"Grandpa, please reconsider; the project requires at least a ten million for deposit!"

"Yes, we are selling these three clothing factories just for the project! Grandpa, you really should think it over; we can't just throw away our money like this!"

The Willis family instantly gathered around, urging Lord Willis that if he signed, they'd have to scrape together the remaining 2.5 million for the deposit from their own pockets

"Enough! I'll cover the remaining 2.5 million!" Lord Willis struck his cane sharply, secretly cursing the Willis family for their lack of foresight.

Skysoar Group was involved in this matter, and if they didn't sell to them today, once other companies heard about this, who would dare stand up for the Willis family against Skysoar?

At that time, the three clothing factories would remain in our hands, and they wouldn't be able to pay the deposit.

By then, it would truly be over for them.

Lord Willis had the family members sign, and finally handed the contract to Jack. "Mr. Gray, the matter of the factories is settled. Here's the contract; please take a look!"

Jack couldn't be bothered to even glance at it. He picked up his bag and left.

Before leaving, he even made a special gesture of invitation to Talon, sending a chill through the Willis family.

It turned out everything he said was true.

Lord Willis's face was filled with desolation.

If he had been more polite and courteous to Talon from the start, would things have turned out differently?

Talon left the Willis family, and just as he walked out, Ariya called.

"Talon, did you hear? Christina's back in the country and is in Philadelphia! She's America's youngest and greatest fashion designer, and I heard she is here mainly to seek cooperation! Mr. Hart said he would take me to attend the banquet she is hosting at the Philadelphia Hotel tonight! Do you know how many people want to meet her? I'm so lucky to be invited!"

Talon was stunned for a moment upon hearing the name.

Christina? Why was this girl back?

"Oh, really?" Talon smiled. "Then you can ask her to design clothes just for you."

Ariya grumbled on the phone. "Like she'd design something just for me. Who do you think I am, the richest person in Philadelphia?"

Talon could only smile bitterly in his heart. 'Who says otherwise? It's just that you don't believe it yourself.'

"By the way, do you have time later to go buy an outfit with me? It's the first time meeting Ms. Tina, I should at least make a good impression! Wait for me for two hours, then come pick me up at the office, okay?"

"With your command, I'll surely be there on time." Talon smiled and hung up.

After thinking for a while, Talon hailed a taxi and dialed a number while in the car.

"Talon, is that really you? My God, I always keep this phone with me, and I can't believe it's actually you!" A woman's voice came from the other end, filled with surprise and excitement.

"I'm heading to the Philadelphia Hotel now. Which room are you in?" Talon spoke calmly.

"I just got back to the country. How did you know? I'm in room 1207 at the Philadelphia Hotel! I'll send everyone away now; come directly to my room. Talon, please hurry!" Talon hung up the phone. If a master of fashion design were present, they would recognize that the person on the other end was none other than the legendary Christina.

Talon got out of the taxi at the Philadelphia Hotel, took the elevator to the top floor, and saw that there were only two rooms in the long corridor. One door was slightly ajar, and he glanced at the room number, 1207.

Talon pushed the door open and entered. The sound of running water came from the bathroom, indicating someone was taking a shower.

"Talon, is that you? Close the door. I'll be right out!" Christina's voice came from the bathroom.

Talon shook his head and waited in the living room.

After a while, the bathroom door opened, and a blonde woman stepped out.

She wore daring plaid black stockings on her legs, her dainty feet in slippers, showing off her colorful nail polish. Her whole body was wrapped in a bathrobe, with a slim waist and sexy red lips, exuding an obvious allure.

Especially in her eyes, there was a clear expression of deep affection.

"Talon, is it really you? I'm not dreaming, am I?" Christina walked up to Talon, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a joy that was more than just between friends.

"Tina, how's your father?" Talon remained calm.

Outsiders only knew Christina as a legendary fashion designer, but few knew she actually came from a mysterious consortium. It was said that the consortium possessed immense wealth but operated extremely discreetly, leaving no traces for outsiders to find.

Three years ago, during a mission, Talon was gravely injured and on the brink of death, and it was Christina who saved him.

After recovering, Talon repaid her by personally eliminating 82 members of a rival family, making him her friend ever since.

Christina's gentle eyes were fixed on him. "Don't you want to ask how I ended up in Philadelphia?"

"I've been here for half a month already. Once you got the news, how could you not come?" Talon smiled bitterly.

Talon knew of Tina's feelings for him, but unfortunately, he was already married at that time.

Christina's breathing became a bit rapid. Talon took two steps back and said, "Remember I told you before, I'm already married, and I have a child."

"Did you show up in Philadelphia this time because of her?" A hint of color flashed in Christina's eyes.

"Is she very beautiful? How does she compare to me? Is she prettier than me?"

"You are very beautiful, but in my heart, my wife is more beautiful," Talon replied calmly.

"Can't you say something nice to deceive me?"

Christina pouted and added. "When will you let me meet her? I also want to see just how beautiful your woman is!"

"I'm here today for this very matter," Talon said.

"You have a banquet tonight. I will attend with her, but you have to pretend not to know me. After you see her, I want you to design a dress for her based on her temperament. I'll pay you whatever the cost."

"Alright, I can agree to your request, but I want to stay at your house!" Tina bit her lip.

"Do you agree?"

Talon looked at her strangely. Tina was unmoved, and in the end, he had no choice but to nod.

Two hours later, Talon arrived downstairs at Yuvi Group. Ariya drove out of the company in the Rolls-Royce that Bertie gave her.

They met, and Talon drove to the Philadelphia International Fashion Mall.

For tonight's banquet, Talon insisted on buying a beautiful dress for Ariya.

This was the most luxurious luxury market, and those who could buy clothes and jewelry here had a certain status in Philadelphia.

Ariya thought this place wasn't that expensive, but even the not-so-nice clothes cost a fortune.

"Talon, maybe... we should leave?" Ariya tugged at Talon, feeling a bit insecure.

She originally thought that with a monthly salary of 300,000 dollars, she could afford the expenses here, but reality gave her a heavy blow.

Forget 300,000 dollars, even 3 million dollars might not buy much here.

"Mrs. Storm?" Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the side. "It really is you!"

Ariya turned around and saw two heavily made-up women in their thirties. One of them, with rose-red hair, had eyes that lit up. "Mrs. Storm, I heard that Mr. Hart is taking you to Miss Christina's banquet tonight. Are you here to buy clothes?"

The short-haired woman who had spoken first said, "Don't talk nonsense. The clothes here cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. I think with Mrs. Storm's monthly salary, she can't afford it. She must be here just for window-shopping, like us."
