Chapter 519 - 518
Although he was verbally respectful, the handshake was very casual, not at all proportionate to his courteous words.
Joe Johnson didn’t mind these details; after shaking hands with Ye Tian, he went straight to the point.
"I don’t like to beat around the bush. I’m here today because of your situation. If I hadn’t come, you could certainly try to escape, but you’d definitely be pursued by a large group of people. If you’re confident you can handle what you’re up against, I can leave right now. Now, you need to make your first choice."
"Of course, it’s cooperation."
Ye Tian was thick-skinned; if he could take a shortcut, he would never take the long way around. If there was a penny on the ground, he’d stoop to pick it up. Since someone was offering to solve his problem, he was quite happy about it.
Joe Johnson nodded, "Good. You’re more straightforward than I thought."
"Hehe, Mr. Johnson, could you make things simpler for me? Although I might be thick-skinned and loathe trouble, I never believe in pie falling from the sky. If you’re straightforward, so am I. I’m limited in what I can do, I may not be of great help, but I can certainly lend a hand with smaller matters."
"Very well. I’ll assist you with the trouble. I’ll take care of last night’s incident, but I also need your help. My visit this time is just a friendly one. Specific matters will be discussed in detail by someone I’ll send to see you. Oh, and the items from the museum, it’d be best if you don’t touch them for now. I’ll naturally deliver them to you once this situation settles down."
