Chapter 110: Housing Transaction Ban Order

Chapter 110: Housing Transaction Ban Order

As soon as he said that, Anthony's eyebrow shot up.

"Not done? What do you want?"

"What do I want? Our staff was right. You're suspected of having a huge amount of money from unknown sources. You must cooperate with the authorities for investigation."

"Besides, you must apologize to our staff."

"Of course, most importantly, you need to pay one million dollars in emotional distress compensation..."

Hearing Armand demand one million dollars right off the bat, Poppy beside him was stunned speechless.

She had just been falsely accused for no reason, and from what Rihanna said, they were going to hand them over to the police for investigation. Poppy was completely terrified, which was why she urgently contacted Anthony.

She didn't expect that after Anthony arrived, he couldn't contain his anger and beat up Rihanna on the spot.

Now the other party was demanding one million in compensation, which made Poppy's heart ache.

She knew that for one million, how many days would she and her dad have to sell breakfast?

No, how many years would it take to earn that?

"Anthony, this is all my fault. If I hadn't called you to come over, they wouldn't be demanding compensation from you."

She wanted to say that the one million should come from the twenty million Anthony had given her.

But she felt that even saying this would still mean using Anthony's money.

This made her feel even more guilty...

Seeing Poppy's distress, Anthony gave a faint smile.

"Don't worry yet. Who said I'm giving him this money?"

Poppy instantly caught the underlying meaning in Anthony's words. "What, you're not going to pay?"

Anthony snorted coldly. "A bitch like Rihanna, beating her is getting off easy. Why would I give her money?"

"Right, right."

Thinking about how she had insulted her earlier and even slapped her face, Poppy finally let out a breath of relief and nodded eagerly.

But the two of them talking so openly like this made Armand beside them so angry his nose nearly twisted sideways.

"What? Kid, you don't want to pay? I bet before you came here, you didn't bother to find out who I am, did you?"

Anthony's expression remained calm, his tone mocking. "Is Armand somebody? Never heard of him. Looks like I've run into another super narcissist."

"What? Fuck, you dare call me a super narcissist?"

Armand's face darkened, and a flash of anger quickly spread across his face.

When he came over earlier, although he knew his woman had been beaten, he wasn't particularly angry. After all, she was just a woman he was keeping. After she got beaten, he would just get justice for her, and that would be that.

His demand for one million earlier was based on this thinking.

Once he got the money from this young man, he'd keep half and give the other five hundred thousand to Rihanna as compensation for her suffering.

But he didn't expect the other party to actually mock him.

This made Armand feel seriously insulted.

Armand snorted coldly in anger. "Fine, kid. You actually dare not to compensate."

Anthony nodded with a calm expression. "Yeah, what are you going to do about it?"

Seeing Anthony respond to him unfazed, Armand's mouth twitched with anger.

Usually, he had connections with all sorts of people from all walks of life. People who knew his background rarely dared to confront him directly.

But this young man in front of him was incredibly arrogant and didn't take him seriously at all.

He had said that arrogantly earlier, accusing Anthony of not finding out about his reputation before coming, precisely because he thought highly of himself.

But this arrogant young man, even after he said all that, still didn't take Armand seriously at all.

Armand, his face dark with anger, exploded on the spot.

"Kid, since you're so arrogant and won't compensate, then just wait for our crazy retaliation."

"Crazy retaliation?" Anthony raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you tell me, let me see just how crazy your retaliation can be."

"Kid, you're really arrogant." Armand roared, then laid out his plan.

"Since you won't compensate, then let me tell you the solution I have for you. First, we'll issue a notice to blacklist you completely across the entire industry."

At first, Anthony didn't understand what blacklisting meant. He shrugged indifferently.

"Idiot, blacklisting? I'm not a celebrity. You're playing that game?"

Seeing that Anthony didn't even understand what he meant, Armand sneered coldly before arrogantly explaining. "I bet you don't even understand what I'm saying, do you?"

Anthony nodded. "That's right, so next, I hope you speak in plain language, say something I can understand..."

"Fuck, you dare say I'm not speaking human language?"

Armand completely lost it.

But Anthony already looked impatient. "Cut the crap. Hurry up and explain what you meant by blacklisting earlier."

"Holy shit..." Armand forcibly swallowed his anger.

"Fine, if that's the case, then let me explain what blacklisting means. Forget about you being broke, even if you have money, you won't be able to buy a house in Colorado. That's what a blacklist order means!"

Hearing him say this, the customers who came to look at houses couldn't help but look shocked.

"What, this Armand is actually using a real estate blacklist order. Looks like he's pissed beyond belief..."

"Haha, yeah, his beloved woman got beaten. How could he swallow that?"

Those who understood what was going on started adding fuel to the fire with their explanations.

"Oh, so that's why he's so angry. Turns out this Rihanna is a woman he's keeping."

Hearing this kind of gossip, Poppy looked shocked. She quickly tugged on Anthony's arm.

"Anthony, did you hear that? Maybe we should just pay to avoid trouble and transfer one million to them? Didn't you hear what everyone around us is saying? This Rihanna is a woman this fat guy is keeping."

Seeing Poppy's worried face, Anthony smiled.

"I was wondering why this Manhana acts like a mad dog, biting whoever she sees. Turns out someone's backing her."

He was clearly implying something.

And those potential customers who came to look at houses couldn't help but get excited at this moment.

"I'm afraid it's not just someone backing her, haha. More like someone on top of her."

"Hehe, exactly. Who would've thought young girls nowadays like old men about to die."

"Haha, you're wrong. It's not that they like old men, they like the money old men have saved up over the years..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

Rihanna on the side, however, looked smug.

At this moment, her gaze was murderously fixed on Anthony.

"Kid, you just got out of prison and were kicked out by your family. You haven't bought a house yet. With a blacklist order against you, even if you have money in all of Colorado, you won't be able to buy a house. Just think about how miserable that will be..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a loud laugh came from the side.
