Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 279

Nigel knew he couldn't act impulsively, so he took a deep breath and slowly sat back down.

"Mr. Hansen Senior, so you agreed!" Black Widow exclaimed, gesturing to her underlings and saying, "Bring it in!"

Black Widow snapped her fingers toward the door, and soon, several black-clad assassins entered the conference room carrying large boxes.

"What is this?"

Both Nigel and Brigham frowned at the sight of the boxes, and Jimmy and the others became more alert.

"Don't be nervous; these are all things that Mr. Hansen Senior likes!" Black Widow said with a smile, instructing the assassins.

"Open them up!"

"Yes!"

The assassins complied and opened the boxes. Everyone leaned in to look inside, only to be dazzled by the brilliant light emanating from them.

Inside were precious antique treasures.

The first box was filled with scrolls and paintings, clearly framed from before the Victorian Era.

The second box contained valuable medicinal herbs—many rarely seen on the market and could fetch at least several million at an auction.

The third box held a statue of emerald, standing nearly half a meter tall.

Yolanda was also intrigued by the dagger but noticed something even more interesting while studying it.

Just as she was keenly observing the dagger, Nigel spoke up again. "You've gone to such great lengths—threatening and bribing—what exactly do you want?"

"It's simple. Mr. Shaw wants to return to Riverdale and hopes Mr. Hansen Senior can agree."

"Cayden Shaw wants to come back?" Nigel scoffed. "Don't think I'll agree to that. Even if I did, other forces in Riverdale wouldn't allow it!"

"Mr. Hansen Senior, you're not getting any younger. Don't be so stubborn." Black Widow chuckled lightly and continued to persuade him.

"Mr. Shaw no longer has such grand ambitions. He just wants to return for a peaceful retirement. Allowing him to return won't disrupt the current power structure in Riverdale—rest assured!"
