"Kemp, what do you mean?"
Samuel's face was pale.
Kemp looked at Samuel and smiled, "Mr. Green is so smart. You must know what I mean."
Samuel's hands tightly clenched together and the blue veins stood out.
He had never knelt before anyone. Kemp's requirement was obviously meant to damage his morale.
"What? Mr. Green doesn't want to do it?"
Kemp was gleeful to watch him hesitate.
Samuel felt mad. If it was in the past, he would have gone forward and beaten him up. But he couldn't
do it now because Nicole was in danger.
Compared to Nicole's life, his dignity and pride were not that important.
Thinking of this, Samuel coldly glanced at Kemp and slowly knelt.
Kemp was shocked. He didn't expect Samuel to sacrifice his dignity and pride for a woman.
"Samuel, is a woman worthy of this? Look at you. Do you still look like the king of Seapolis?"
Samuel said indifferently, "I am not the King of Seapolis now. I am just a husband, an ordinary man,
and a person who is desperate to save his wife. So, if you are satisfied now, please give me the
medical ingredients I need."
Samuel knew that he didn't have much time left.
Satan King was right. He could send people to the black market to buy these things, but they were too
precious and difficult to find. He wouldn't be able to collect all of them until tomorrow. And Nicole was
running out of time.
Kemp had everything here, so it didn't matter if he lost some face, dignity or pride.
To save Nicole, he would even give Kemp his life.
Kemp stared at Samuel as if doubting whether he was the most influential man in Seapolis.
"You can do anything for a woman. Then, Samuel, can you give me what I want?"
Samuel stiffened.
"I will give you the ownership of the Green Family's oil mines in Saudi Arabia, as long as you give me
the medical ingredients I want."
Samuel said expressionless.
The oil mines were the foundation for the Green family to develop in Seapolis and became the king of
commerce.
Everyone thought that the wealth of the Green family was left behind by the last generations. Only Mrs.
Green and the deceased Mr. Green knew that their family had donated a lot of money to support
national scientific research before the property was passed to Samuel. After Samuel took over, the
Green family was not as wealthy as before.
Afterwards, Samuel went to Saudi Arabia and bought some pieces of lands. There were abundant oil
resources under the lands, which made the Green Family prosperous again.
After Samuel inherited the property, he used the resources and connections in hand to buy more
mines. He became the richest man in Saudi Arabia who owned the most private oil mines.
Based on the current profits of the oil mines, the Green family would remain wealthy for three hundred
years.
Only Samuel, Mrs. Green and the deceased Mr. Green knew about this matter. Later, when Vincent
had an accident, Mrs. Green told him about it. He understood Samuel and voluntarily gave up
inheritance. He went to Bordeaux and became a person of Night Elf Empire.
The oil mines became a secret of the Green family. Even Nicole, who had been married into his family
for eight years, did not know how much property it had.
Therefore, when Kemp asked Samuel about the oil mines, Samuel was extremely surprised.
He had always thought that it was Vincent who told Kemp.
But would Vincent do that?
He had given up the right to inherit. Would he betray the secret?
If he wanted the property, Samuel would give it to him. After all, they were brothers.
Why did Vincent ask Kemp, a stranger, to claim for the mines instead of telling Samuel about it frankly?
If Vincent didn't tell Kemp about it, why would he come here? Wasn't it Vincent's scheme?
This was why Samuel felt disappointed.
He could fight with Vincent at home. However, as a Green, Vincent should not damage his family with
outsiders.
To save Nicole, Samuel couldn't hesitate over it. He believed that Mrs. Green would not give up Nicole
for those mines.
Samuel agreed his requirement without blinking. Kemp was shocked and said, "Wow. Mr. Green is
really generous. People may not own the oil mines even in their dreams. And you just gave them to me
for a woman. Don't you fear that the Green Family will collapse?"
"The loss of the oil mines will damage it. However, I have revived it before. I, Samuel Green, will
definitely bring it to prosperity again."
Kemp was astonished by Samuel's confidence.
Although Samuel was on his knees, his pride didn't weaken at all. Kemp even felt a bit stressful and
hard to breathe in front of this man.
He was born to be a towering figure amongst humans. Even if he was kneeling, there was still an
oppressive pressure coming from him.
Kemp cleared his throat and said, "Your offer is good. But your family has another secret. And we are
more interested in that one."
"We? Other than you, who else is eyeing the Green family? Vincent? Or is there someone behind you?
Are you just an errand?"
Samuel keenly noticed the hole in Kemp's words and asked.
Kemp's expression changed, but he said coldly, "You don't need to know that."
"That's ridiculous. You want something from my family. But you don't allow me to ask about it. What's
the point of that?"
"I have prevailed over you, so you must listen to me."
Kemp prevaricated, but he was a little flustered.
Samuel said indifferently, "The only secret of the Green family is the oil mines."
"You can lie to others. But you can't get me this way."
Kemp looked at Samuel and said.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Swift tried so hard to marry her daughter into the Green family
for our wealth. Zama abandoned her son and everything to stay in our family for inheritance. The
wealth of my family has been kept as a secret. Now that you know about it, I may not be able to
maintain it. It has got people around me into danger. I would rather give it to you. I just want to save my
wife."
Samuel said word by word, but Kemp shook his head.
"No, no, no! Mr. Green, the biggest property and secret of the Green family is not the oil mines.
Although your offer is indeed generous, you know, what we want is you. You are the key to fortune!"
Samuel was shocked. Then he smiled and said, "Me? You don't want me to stay here, do you? Fine. If
you save my wife, release people back to Seapolis safely and promise not to disturb the in them
anymore, I may consider it."
"Mr. Green, stop joking. You know what I'm talking about."
Kemp's face darkened as Samuel refused to tell him about the thing.
However, Samuel did not shrink, "What exactly do you want?"
"As I said, the greatest wealth of the Green Family is you, Mr. Green. A few years ago, when you were
still in the army, you designed a vehicle for the army. It's said that it can be used for attack and defense.
It is high-performance. The army did not take the blueprints, instead, they made a promise. If someone
uses your blueprints to make this vehicle, the military will give him all their support and help, even
privilege for him to do anything. Is that so? "
Samuel was shocked.
"You want the blueprints of the vehicle?"
"Yes! If possible, I want Mr. Green's authorization contract. I heard you asked Mr. Bates to keep them.
As long as you tell me where he is, I will give you all the medical ingredients you need."
Kemp directly stated his purpose.
Samuel's face turned pale.
It was specially designed for the military. The country was in a tight financial situation at that time, and
technology could not achieve the desired results, so it was suspended. This is a state secret. Many
people thought that he gave Mr. Bates a trade secret. Actually, it was a secret design for the country.
Apart from him and the military, no one else knew about it. Even Mr. Bates thought that it was some
important documents of the company.
However, Kemp knew about it.
Not only did he know, he even brazenly came to ask for the blueprints.
Lucas said once that Vincent was also trying to find Mr. Bates for them. Thinking of this, Samuel asked,
"What is your relationship with Vincent?"
"You can ask your brother."
Kemp was smart. This time, he didn't spill the beans.
Samuel suddenly didn't know what to do.
He must save Nicole. She was his wife. However, he could not give Kemp the blueprints. It was a state
secret.
"What? Didn't you say that you could give up everything for your wife? I don't want your huge oil mines
or wealth. I just want the design drawing and an authorization contract."
"It has been too many years. I have long forgotten what I designed. Besides, the authorization contract
is only valid with the seal of the military. As you mentioned, the authorization contract is in Mr. Bates'
hands. I don't know where he is now. Even if I want to give it to you, I can't."
Samuel replied calmly, but he still felt worried.
Now that Kemp knew about the design, Mr. Bates would be in danger. If he had the chance to return,
the first thing he would do was to protect Mr. Bates. He should not be found by them.
As Kemp heard his answer, he frowned.
"Mr. Green, don't you want to save your wife? You know she is dying."
Kemp seemed to remind him out of kindness. Actually, he was forcing Samuel to compromise.
National interest and his beloved woman, what would Samuel choose?
