Chapter 276 The Master's Strongest Connection

"Mister James, do you like this Riversdington Heritage Series? This cost 210,000 dollars."

"And this is Patek Philippe, its price is 290,000 dollars. There is also this Rolex that cost 260,000 dollars. These are all very good, and very popular brand-name for a watch."

The beauty shop assistant said as she took out three watches.

Martin James shook his head.

"Do you think it's too expensive, sir? If it's expensive for you, we also have other watches that cost around ten thousand dollars," the shop assistant said.

"No, 200,000 dollars for a watch is too cheap. Is there anything more expensive?"

After the beauty shop assistant heard Martin James's words, she was baffled. She couldn't help but sighed. How could a 200,000 dollars worth of watch be too cheap? Isn't that expensive enough?"

"Mister James, how expensive do you want the watch to be?" The clerk asked.

"I don't know. Just take out the most expensive one and I'll see," Martin James said calmly.

"Well, I'll get you the treasure of out shop. Please wait a minute," the assistant smiled.

Soon, the beauty shop assistant took the precious watch.

"Sir, this is the Omega butterfly watch series. This cost 4.84 million dollars. It is made of platinum then it is encrusted with diamonds. It is the treasure of our shop because it is the best luxury watch in the city," the shop assistant explained.

Because the watch was the treasure of that shop, the other staff couldn't help but looked at the transaction between them.

Even a few guests in the shop were very interested, and they wanted to catch a glimpse of the expensive watch.

"4.84 million?" Martin James muttered as he looked at the watch.

"Sir, if you think it's too expensive, we still have other watch in our store," the shop assistant said.

After all, 4.84 million dollars was enough to buy a nice sports car. Although the beauty shop assistant perceived Martin James as a rich man, but she was still suspicious that the man would spend $4.84 million on a watch.

However, 4.84 million dollars was an affordable amount of money for Martin James, and he could easily pay it in a swipe of a card.

"Sir, are you sure that you're going to purchase this watch?" The shop assistant looked at Martin James in amazement.

"I'm sure. Also, when you swipe my card, can you check how much balance I still have in my card?" Martin James said.

"Okay sir, please come with me," the clerk nodded, and she led Martin James to the cash register next door.

"David, check the balance of this card for this gentleman first," the clerk said as she handed the card to the cashier.

"Okay."

The cashier nodded, and he swiped the card to check the balance for Martin James.

However, when the cash register checked the balance of the card, he suddenly coughed.

"David? Are you okay? Why are you choking?" The shop assistant looked puzzled.

The shop assistant walked in front of the POS machine to check the balance.

After the clerk counted the balance, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my god! The card had 5.6 billion dollars!"

The shop assistant was appalled, it was definitely the largest balance that she had ever seen. That number on the screen alone could make her heart beat faster.

"What? 5.6 billion?"

Both the staff and the guests at the store were shocked to hear the amount of money on Martin James card.

"That was a lot of money!"

"Yeah, it's incredible! How could a young man have 5.6 billion dollars in his card?"

Both the staff and the guests in the store couldn't help but talk about James Martin.

When they looked at Martin James again, their eyes were filled with of admiration.

"How does he look so much like the guest before him?" The short-haired clerk who had previously hosted Martin James stared at Martin James in amazement.

She must have made a mistake! The girl with a short hair shook her head in a hurry.

"Mister James, I have swipe the card successfully. Here's your receipt."

The shop assistant who was assisting Martin James returned the card and she also gave him a receipt. While her hands were trembling as she carried the expensive watch.

She then asked, "Mister James, do you want the watch packed? Or are you going to wear it now?"

"I'll put it on," Martin James said flatly.

"Okay Mister James, I'll put it on for you," the beauty shop assistant said and she was all smiles.

"Okay," Martin James said as he stretched out his left hand.

The shop assistant put on the watch for Martin James.

"Not bad," Martin James nodded with a bit of satisfaction.

Although Martin James didn't understand watches, he had to admit that the watch looked good.

Martin James then looked up at the short-haired clerk next to him.

"Hey, come here!" Martin James waved to her.

The short-haired shop assistant came towards him.

"You know me, don't you? Half an hour earlier, I've been to your shop" Martin James said flatly.

"Really? It's really you?" The short-haired shop assistant was so frightened that she almost fainted. If she hadn't been holding the counter, then she would have been on the floor at that time.

"I hope you don't judge people by their looks in the future," When Martin James had finished saying those words, he turned away.

Martin James was too lazy to talk to her.

After coming out of the mall, Martin James's looked at his watch and he saw that it was 2 p.m. already. Its only three hours before the company closed.

However, Martin James decided to drive and go back to the company.

While he was driving, he heard a screeching sound from a Bugadi Veyron.

The car drove past Martin James's car.

It was Edwin Birrell's car.

Martin James identified the car at a glance, especially when he looked at the license plate.

He remembered that Edwin Birrell had driven that car when he went to C City. Martin James also remembered the license plate well.

"Edwin Birrell, we're seeing each other again!"

Martin James exclaimed as he stared at the back of the Bugadi Veyron.

Soon the Bugadi Veyron had disappeared from Martin James's sight.

Edwin Birrell was the grandson of the Birrell family. The Birrell family was once part of the Dragon Special Warfare Team.

However, Edwin Birrell and Martin James had been enemies for a long time.

The last time they saw each other, Edwin Birrell had forced Martin James to kneel in front of him.

Since then, Martin James swore that he would make Edwin Birrell pay for humiliating him.

"Edwin Birrell, I'm sure it won't be long before we meet," Martin James muttered.

Martin James drove around the city before he returned to the company.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Martin James had entered his grandfather's Bentley.

Inside the Bentley.

"Martin, are you used to staying at JD this time?" Morgan Gracie asked.

"It's not bad. JD city is a lot more prosperous than C City since it is the commercial center of the California region," Martin James said.

"I heard that you've been staying at the hotel lately, but that's not going to work, so I've arranged a villa for you. By the way, here's the key. The address of the villa is on the shores of North Lake which is great."

Morgan Gracie said as he took out a bunch of keys, and he handed it to Martin James.

"Thank you Morgan," Martin James smiled and he took the keys.

His grandfather had also planned to surprise him with another sports car and he took out a bunch of keys and he handed them to Martin James.

Martin James took a look at the car keys, and he noticed that there's a Porsche logo on it. "This is the key to a Porsche 918. This is better than most cars, and it is part of the collection that I bought."

"Thank you Morgan," Martin James smiled and thanked him.

Martin James knew that an expensive a sports car like that was harder to buy, because it's only limited.

"Next, I'll tell you about the man that we're going to meet today. He is Isaac Pater, and he is a former military general. He is now retired, but he still has a big influence in the military district. He is also against the Birrell Family and I'm relying on him for help," Morgan Gracie said.

"Morgan, what's your relationship with this Mister Pater?" Martin James wondered.

In Martin James's point of view, the two might have a strong relationship.

His grandfather smiled and said, "Your late grandmother's last name is Pater, don't you remember?"

"Grandma's last name is Pater?"

If his grandfather, Morgan is the Pater family's son-in-law then it meant that his grandfather and Isaac Pater were brothers-in-law.

"I'm Isaac Pater's brother-in-law," his grandfather confirmed.

Morgan Gracie continued, "With my own experience, I know the importance of marriage, and if it wasn't because of that marriage, then Gold Group would never be the company that it is today. That's why I so I didn't agree with your parents' marriage, because I wanted your mother to marry a man from a rich family."

His grandfather smiled sadly and asked, "Martin, do you have someone whom you want to marry too?"
