Chapter 1329
“Old Master, that’s him.”
Hubert nodded gently, also surprised.
He could not imagine where Sean got all this money.
Old Master Collins got increasingly surprised after getting Hubert’s confirmation.
“In his former position, money and power were easily available to him.
“But where did he get the money now that he has been discharged?”
Old Master Collins put down his coffee cup slowly, and many ideas appeared in his head.
After all, a man who had lived most of his life like him had met many people and things.
Sometimes they would subconsciously think too much about a simple little thing and make it complicated.
“Old Master, shall I have it looked into?”
Hubert was silent for a moment before asking quietly.
“No! No!”
Old Master Collins stopped Hubert with a slight wave of his hand.
“What’s the matter?”
Hubert was puzzled.
“There’s no need for that.”
Old Master Collins picked up his coffee cup again and took a sip.
Hubert glanced at Old Master Collins, nodded gently, and did not ask further questions.
“Did you just say the boy Sean bid five billion dollars?”
Old Master Collins pondered for a few seconds before looking up and asking.
“Yes, I’m sure it’s five billion dollars.”
Hubert nodded again. He would not have reported to Old Master Collins if he was not sure.
“He’s clever!”
Old Master Collins pondered for a moment before praising.
It surprised Hubert, who had rarely seen Old Master Collins speak highly of anyone.
However, the point was Hubert could not figure out why Old Master Collins called him clever.
“Clever?”
Hubert frowned, puzzled.
“Yes! Clever.

Hubert thought for a moment before gasping.

can predict that he’s going to be the most famous person in Joules Town’s business circle.”
Old Master Collins nodded gently and looked into the distant sunset.
New talents emerged in each era and led each industry for centuries.
Just like how the sun in the distance had been shining but would always set.
Tomorrow, the burning sun would rise in the east again, illuminating everywhere.
“It turns out he already has a plan and got a lot of intel in secret.”
Hubert commented again.
Sean had a face–to–face conversation with Old Master Collins.
“Ten days later then. Watch how I, Sean Lennon, compare to myself today.”
Old Master Collins was disdainful at the time, especially when he learned that Sean got in a fight.
He even got Hubert to drop the investigation on Sean, which was like giving up on Sean.
He had no idea Sean was going to surprise him!
In the eyes of others, Sean spending five billion dollars was a waste of money.
However, to people like Old Master Collins, Sean made the right decision.
“I was wrong this time.”
Old Master Collins also nodded gently with some resignation in his voice.
“Don’t worry too much, Old Master.
“We never said anything nasty to him, and you had a deal.”
Hubert glanced at Old Master Collins and understood what he was thinking.
Old Master Collins refused to help Sean for two reasons.
The first reason was that he thought Sean was a normal person who just got lucky.
The other reason was that the Collins family did not think Sean was worthy of the Collins family’s help.
At the end of the day, it was because they did not think Sean was a big deal when they first met him.
Anyway, Old Master Collins said what he said because he did not take Sean seriously.
However, now that Sean had shown what he was capable of, Old Master Collins was a little regretful.
