My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1238 Pretending to be Weak



At these words, Leo still lowered his head to organize his fishing tackle, then glanced behind him and found that it was an old man in his sixties who was looking at him with fierce eyes.

Leo then sniggered and made up some nonsense, “Why don’t you believe that I’m Kelly’s father? I don’t look old, I look like I’m in my twenties, but I am now in my sixties. You look old, it has to do with maintenance. For example, a certain star is in his sixties, but he looks like he’s in his twenties.”

“You’re still talking nonsense, I’m Kelly’s father!”

The old man behind him shouted, he was shaking with anger and he wanted to kick Leo to the fish pond and feed him to the fish.

Leo was stunned, not expecting to run into Kelly’s father, so he laughed bitterly and said, “Oh, sorry, I am joking. But I am indeed Kelly’s friend, how do you charge for this fishing? I’ll pay you at ten times the price, how’s that?”

Ten times?

The old man behind him smiled, he was silent for a moment, then his tone was much gentler, “I’m afraid you can’t afford to pay, I’m keeping wild turtles here, they’re all twenty to thirty pounds caught from the big lake, one is counted at a thousand dollars, ten times the price is ten thousand dollars, can you afford it, young man?”

“Yes, I can.”

Leo said, “I am a loan shark, I have bought ten planes, and I am running all over the world to lend money, do you think I am good?”

At these words, Riley was shocked, his tone shivered, “You’re so awesome! You are even more awesome than my son’s loan sharking, go ahead and fish, I will change you one thousand dollars per pound. You need pig’s liver to fish for turtles, I’ll go and cut up a few pieces for you.”

After saying that, Riley ran off to nowhere in a flash.

Leo had never bragged, but today he boasted, and felt it good.

After a while, Riley ran over with a sweaty head, panting and saying, “The pig’s liver is ready, you can use this to fish.”

Leo was fuming because Harriet had bought him a fishing rod but not bait, and was worried about it.

After all, this wasn’t a place that kept four big fish, so if he used grass as bait, he could still catch some grass fish or something like that.

“Wow, old man, thank you.”

Leo took his plastic bag of raw pork liver and laughed.

So Leo took the small pieces of pork liver, hung them clumsily on the fish hook and dropped them into the fish pond.

The float drifted and then stood firmly on the surface of the water.

“It’s a beautiful day today, oh, it looks like I am going to be rich.” Leo said.

He set the fishing rod on the stand, then sat on the grass, took out his famous cigarettes and handed one to Riley, “Have a cigarette?”

“Thank you.”

The old man took the cigarette and also sat on his butt next to Leo. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky, smiling.

“You’re going to be rich today, the weather is good and it’s easy to catch big soft-shelled turtle because they come up out of the mud layer to bask in the sun.”

“Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a wild soft-shelled turtle, I’ll have to try it today.”

Leo took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled quietly and added, “When will your son Kelly come?”

Riley choked on his cigarette, he coughed hard for a few times, then spat a mouthful of spit into the fish pond and said with a smile, “I just called my son, he will be here in a few minutes. He said he wants to meet such a big boss like you, he even said he would treat you to drinks at noon.”

Leo was stunned, and he immediately changed his approach to subdue Kelly and said with a smile, “OK! I’ve come to this place to make investments, to find projects, and to find people to cooperate in big business.”

“Good, my son is looking for someone to invest in real estate. I will make a phone call to him now.”

Riley immediately fished out his phone and dialed Kelly’s number. His voice was as loud as a thunderbolt from a clear sky, which scared several small soft-shelled turtle floating on the water surface and immediately burrowed into the water.

“Kelly, get over here immediately, there’s a big boss here who wants to work with you on some sleep, get up from your bed.”

“Dad, I’ll get up right away, you tell him to take his time fishing, no need to rush, I’ll treat him to dinner at noon.”

After saying that, the two hung up the phone.

Leo smiled in his heart, it seemed that the trick of boasting was sometimes better than using force to solve problems.

At this time, the fish floating on the water disappeared. Leo was very happy, he raised it with force, but it did not move as if the hook was hanging on the stone, so he asked Riley in disappointment, “It’s finished, it’s hooked on the stone.”

“You’ve caught a big turtle, hold on, don’t pull the line hard for fear of breaking the hook, I’ll go down and catch the turtle.”

The old man cackled as he immediately took off his clothes.

Leo asked suspiciously, “Are you sure there are no rocks underwater? I suspect it is hanging rocks.”

“Impossible! This a fish pond made of tiles underneath, where are the rocks?”

When Riley finished speaking, he jumped into the water with a thud.

A moment later, he emerged from the bottom of the water, holding a large turtle high in his hands, and the old man said with surprise, “The weight of this big turtle is at least thirty pounds.”

“Then you will make a fortune.”

Leo said with a snicker, at a thousand dollars a pound, thirty pounds was thirty thousand dollars.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Holy shit! Even more greedy than a robber!

Once the old man landed, Leo used scissors to cut the fish line.

The old man didn’t even put on his clothes and ran away with the turtle in his arms.

Leo, “????”

But soon, the old man ran over again, holding a big plastic bucket in his hand, panting and saying, “I was afraid the turtle would run away, so I got a big bucket.”

“Yes, this one is worth thirty thousand dollars.”

Leo looked at the big turtle in the bucket and noticed the colour at the turtle’s carapace, which was golden, then he turned the turtle over and the turtle’s belly was white.

It was a natural wild turtle.

Leo was happy. He planed to catch a few more big soft-shelled turtles for his wife and daughter.

As he had done, Leo caught ten big turtles, each of which was more than thirty pounds, all natural big turtle.

A while later, Kelly arrived in a Rolls-Royce car, got out and walked behind Leo, asking politely, “Hello Boss, did you catch any?”

Kelly was of medium build, fat, with short air, small eyes, a big nose, narrow shoulders and a big butt.

So the silhouette of him in a suit was small at the top and big at the bottom.

Riley introduced to Leo, “This is my son Kelly.”

At that, Leo, who was packing and tidying his fishing rod, stood up, smiled, “Hello, Riley, I am Lychee, the chairman of Pompeii International Financial Investment Company Limited, nice to meet you!”
