Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Chloe Collins Agrees to Paint_1

Chapter 1232

The people that Jerry River had sent were all highly-paid advanced warriors trained by his company, the first generation of martial artists. They all recognized Chloe Collins because they had those who had left the Dark Alliance with her as their masters. With their guidance, they naturally recognized Chloe Collins.

It was only just now that Chloe Collins recognized that these were the warriors trained by her company, because their standing posture was unique to her company.

She has a private company here, which one could say is the headquarters of Fire. It has a wider range of business scope and scale, and contributes significantly to her income.

It is usually managed by Dean Collins on her behalf.

Alexander Foster quickly digested the facts before him— he was no longer surprised by the unusual.

He had experienced plenty of surprises from the little girl, so now even if she could fly, he wouldn’t find it strange.

Jerry River, however, was different.

After considering Chloe Collins’ martial power, he had no choice but to believe this fact.

His heart was filled with astonished shock and endless exclamation.

He was silent for a long time, lost in thought.

Glancing back at the damaged painting, he suddenly suppressed his rage and turned to Chloe Collins, "No matter who you are, it’s a fact that you ruined my painting, and you must compensate."

Chloe Collins laughed, "Mr. River, you are the one who ruined the painting."

"If you hadn’t hit..." He found it hard to say, but continued, "If you hadn’t hit me, I wouldn’t have ruined it. You are the root cause, and you must compensate."

"If you hadn’t hit anyone, I wouldn’t have hit you. In the final analysis, it’s your fault."

"You must compensate!"

"And if I don’t?"

Chloe Collins was not overawed but oppressed him instead.

Jerry River suddenly felt stifled. "You are a sharp-tongued young lady! Do you still want to get what you wanted from me?"

Chloe Collins laughed, "Whether we want it or not, you wouldn’t give it to us, would you?"

"Since we stepped through the door, you have been plotting against us. I have never seen such a way of welcoming guests. Forgive me for speaking plainly, but I don’t feel a shred of sincerity about your intention to cooperate."

Jerry River’s eyes clouded over.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I’m not saying I won’t give it to you, but you have to restore this painting completely."

Chloe Collins said, "I can’t do that, but I can paint another one for you."

Jerry River sneered, "You? Are you aware this painting is a masterpiece by my disciple Mane York? She’s a member of the Art Association and has won numerous awards. This painting is worth at least $500,000! In my heart, it’s priceless! You want to paint one? Are you even worthy?"

Chloe Collins looked at Alexander Foster then back at Jerry River, "Oh? Did she paint this? How did she paint it? Did she paint it herself?"

Jerry River shot her a cold look, "No need for these questions! If you want to paint your own, take your painting to the competition. If you can secure a place in the International Art Exhibition, and exhibit your work, I’ll give you X-5!"

"OK! I accept your proposal," Chloe Collins promptly agreed.

Jerry River was surprised again, but then a calculating glint flashed in his eyes.

Chloe Collins asked him to put his words in writing, which he did.

After this negotiation infused with martial force, at last, was concluded.

Jerry River asked Chloe Collins to take a photo of the painting to recreate it back home. She did as he asked.

In the car, Alexander Foster learned about their company from Chloe Collins.

The company was named Starbright. On the surface, it was an electronics technology company that was doing quite well and was well-known in Anstolas. However, beneath the surface, there was much more going on.
