Then Locks spoke again. "So tell me. What is your real reason for canceling the deal?" Hearing this Adam was also very surprised.

Because he knew that the manager would not be able to answer this question well on his own. So Adam immediately took out his other phone.

And in it he immediately called the manager's office phone. Which was kept on his table. And that number was only with those people.

The people who had to talk to Adam's venture capital that is the manager about business related matters. Adam called him from his other phone.

As soon as the manager heard this direct question from Locks he was completely surprised. He did not understand what to say. Just then his office phone on his desk started to ring.

The manager was very surprised. Because he had shared this contact number with very few people so far. So few that they would not even be equal to the fingers of his both hands. Then who could be calling him at this time. He was about to ignore that phone call and focus his attention on Locks.

But then the phone immediately got cut. Adam had done this deliberately. He knew that the manager would probably ignore it. Then Adam immediately called the manager again after the call was cut. Then the office phone rang again. Seeing this the manager also understood.

Something was definitely wrong. Then with Locks' phone still held to one ear he also picked up his office phone and put it to his other ear. Immediately after which Adam's voice came from the other side.

Adam said "Manager tell him we don't want to do such a small deal. If we do a deal we will do it in the billions. Not in the millions." Hearing this and hearing Adam's voice the manager was very surprised.

First he was surprised by this. That how had Adam's call come on his office phone. And then he was even more surprised by this. That how did Adam know what was happening right at this moment.

Hearing this and hearing Adam's words the manager did not pay attention to that. He started to look around in his office. And he thought "Is there a CCTV camera in here? What is happening?" Then he immediately remembered what Adam had said. That if his call was coming and he wanted to say this. Then he had forgotten to tell him.

That's why he had called him from this number. "Now you must answer him quickly. He is a very cunning person." Hearing this the manager realized that the more time he wasted.

The more suspicious Locks would become. And he would start to go after Adam. Which was a very dangerous situation. Because if Adam's secrets were revealed even once.

Then Adam's life would be in real danger. Even though Adam had money. But he did not have real power yet. And Adam could do very few things now. Which he would be restricted from doing after his true identity was revealed.

The manager understood this. And he immediately replied to Locks. "Actually the thing is that we want to do your order very excitedly." Saying this the manager had Locks' call in one ear. Where he was talking to Locks. And on his other ear he was talking to Adam. On his office phone.

Locks was very surprised to hear such a reply from the manager.

He said "If you wanted to do it then why did you refuse me in the first place?" Then the manager said "We wanted to take your order. But not for such a small amount. If you give us an amount in the billions then we will show you by passing this test with great appreciation. And with the highest possible return." Hearing this Locks was suddenly surprised.

And he also became completely silent. He had thought of many questions to ask. For whatever reply would come from the manager's side. But he had not anticipated this reply at all.

The kind of reply the manager had just given. He was very surprised by this kind of a reply. He did not understand what to reply to this.

He had wanted that by giving this small amount of money. He would either get this new venture capital firm completely shut down. Or get it completely destroyed. Or he would completely buy this venture capital firm and merge it into his own. But if he invested billions of dollars in this new venture capital firm.

Then he would have only one option left. And that was. Not to destroy it but to start planning to merge it into his own. Which Locks did not want to risk for now.

He was quite sure that in a very short while this new venture capital firm would be on the verge of sinking. And if it wasn't. Then he would create such a situation. But for now if he gave them billions of dollars.

Then with these situations he would not have to destroy these people to merge this venture capital into his own. He would have to leave this original plan.

Thinking this Locks suddenly smiled. And he said to the manager "You are not as stupid as you look. are you with your real boss right now?" Hearing this sweat started to come on the manager's face.

He was very happy in his mind. Because he was not meeting in front of Locks. But he was talking on the phone. If he was in front of Locks. Then Locks would have caught him immediately. That he was not the real owner.

Then Adam's voice came in the manager's ear again. Who spoke very impatiently "Answer him. Don't just listen to this silently. And it should be a funny answer." Hearing this the manager understood.

That whenever he was silent. Then Locks' suspicion of him only increased. Then the manager suddenly started laughing. And he said "I think sir you have never competed with people of your own level. Just like you control everything by staying in the shadows. You think everyone is like that." Hearing this Locks and Adam were both very surprised.

Adam had told him to give an answer. But he had not said that he should give such a straightforward answer. That it would directly hit Locks so hard. Locks suddenly became silent. He was looking at one place. If anyone was around him.

Then he would have immediately said that Locks was very angry. Just then Locks smiled. And he said "It seems you are very fond of fighting head-on with the big players. You are talking like a young child who comes into the real world. And is determined to change the whole world." Hearing this the manager was very surprised.

Then he said "You can think whatever you want. If you don't have so much money. Then you should not waste my time. I have a lot of work to do." Hearing this Locks was very surprised. He did not understand. That first this man was talking to him so straightforwardly. And then now this man was trying to make Locks angry.

Then Locks said "What do you think? That by talking to me like this you can get me to give you an order?" Hearing this the manager suddenly started laughing again.

He said "No. I don't even want an order from a person who doesn't have enough money. If you only have millions of dollars then you can go somewhere else. Our company does not take money from such small people." Hearing this Locks got very angry.

On the other side Adam said to the manager "Manager don't provoke him so much." But before the manager could say anything Locks' voice came from the other side.

And he said angrily "Okay. I accept your deal. But with one condition. I will give you a deal of ten billion dollars. But I want a return of thirty-eight percent. No matter where you invest it. And along with that I also want a dividend. Of five percent per year." Hearing this Adam was very surprised.

He did not understand. That being such a big and experienced businessman how could he get trapped in such a small and obvious trick. Adam was completely speechless.

On the other side the manager was suddenly very surprised. But without losing his composure he then said "It's a very good deal. But I will only give you a dividend of two percent. And a return of thirty-two percent." Hearing this

Locks said again "This is very low. Okay then. Neither yours nor mine. I will not go below this. A three percent dividend plus a thirty-five percent profit. And along with that whichever company you acquire with my money. That company will be yours." Hearing this the manager immediately heard Adam's voice. Who said "Manager accept his deal. Right now." Hearing this the manager was also happy. And smiling he said "I congratulate you for the deal. Tomorrow my teammates will come and give you the legal documents. I hope you don't run away scared at the last moment."

Locks was still not calm. And he said "Remember boy. The number of years you have spent teaching in some small school. I have worked in this industry for that many years. If I don't get that much of a return. Then after that you and your so-called secret boss can hide anywhere you want. You won't be able to escape from me." Saying this he cut the phone without hearing any of the manager's final words.
