When everyone saw Joe giving the magical pill to Don Albert, they were all shocked beyond words.
Even though Don Albert had a reputation as one of the top mobster bosses in Aurous Hill, he was nothing to them. Hence, they could barely believe that Joe would not hesitate to give someone as insignificant as Albert the pill simply because they knew each other.
This…
Joe really treated his own people very fairly.
Albert continued kneeling in front of Joe as he wept.
“Mr. Smith, I really did not expect someone like you to even think of someone as insignificant as me at all. I am truly very grateful for your kindness…”
Joe smiled before he replied, “Albert, to me, everyone in this world is equal. I do not judge a person by their status or identity, but I judge a person based on their character and personality. Do you remember my classmate, Douglas? In terms of status or even strength, he is definitely more inferior compared to you and your brothers. However, when he was lying in the hospital and could not even commit suicide, I still helped and protected him. Why? Simply because he is my friend. If you are my friend, no matter how low your status or identity is, I will never forget you.”
Albert’s heart trembled, and he could not stop the tears from rolling down his cheeks. He choked as he said, “Mr. Smith, I will do everything to the best of my ability for you in the future!”
Joe placed the pill in Albert’s hand before saying, “If you follow me, you have to understand that you don’t need to be the greatest person in this country. As long as you do everything for me sincerely and with all of your heart, I will surely protect and look out for you for the rest of my life!”
Joe meant what he said.
He had endless wealth. He had tens of billions in cash, and his company was worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
Moreover, in terms of strength, Joe could rely on them to give him extraordinary skills and strength.
Therefore, as long as Albert steadfastly followed him, he would not let him suffer.
Joe’s words made everyone present have even more admiration and respect for him.
They were determined to follow after Joe with all of their hearts!
At this time, Zeke took out a smart bracelet key before holding it out to Joe. “Mr. Smith, this is the smart bracelet key for the Bugatti Veyron Hermes special edition that I have already ordered for you. You can pick up the car at the auto showroom when it is officially launched tomorrow!”
The ordinary Bugatti Veyron was priced at twenty-six million dollars, whereas the Hermes special edition was priced at forty million dollars.
Before Joe could say anything, Graham quickly took out another smart bracelet key before saying in a hurry, “What a coincidence, Mr. Smith! I also ordered a sports car for you, and it is waiting for you to collect it from the auto showroom. I bought you a limited edition ONE-77 Aston Martin.”
The Aston Martin One-77 was priced at forty million dollars.
Both Zeke and Graham would not have expected such a coincidence.
Zeke looked at Graham with an annoyed expression on his face before he blurted out, “Graham, why did you get Mr. Smith a sports car just like me? Are you trying to copy me on purpose?”
Graham replied confidently, “Why would I want to copy you? I simply thought that Mr. Smith should be driving the best sports car in town. That is the reason why I specifically ordered the Aston Martin ONE- 77 for him!”
When Anthony saw that both of them were giving gifts to Joe one after the other, he quickly took out a yellow sandalwood box and placed it in front of Joe. Upon opening the box, there lay a very beautiful pair of wine glasses made of porcelain.
Anthony told Joe immediately, “Mr. Smith, these wine glasses have been handed down by my ancestors ever since the Ming Dynasty, and it is one of my favorite antiques! I want to give this to you today, and I hope that you will enjoy using it, Mr. Smith!”
When Jasmine saw everyone else giving gifts to Joe, she did not dare to fall behind since she had already received two magical pills from Joe. Therefore, she quickly took out her checkbook and wrote a cash cheque before offering it to Joe. “Mr. Smith, this is a cash cheque for one hundred million dollars. Please accept this as a small token of my appreciation.”
Joe honestly did not expect that these people would unexpectedly give him all these gifts.
Moreover, the gifts that they were giving him were extremely expensive.
Both sports cars cost at least forty million dollars each.
The wine glasses from the Ming Dynasty were worth more than fifty to sixty million dollars.
Moreover, Jasmine even wrote him a cheque for one hundred million dollars.
To be honest, Joe felt very indifferent toward all these gifts.
First of all, a sports car was too showy, and he did not really like that.
He did not like the wine glasses all that much either because he rarely used things like that.
As for the money, the last thing he needed in life was money.
However, when Joe saw that the four of them were filled with so many expectations as they were eager for him to accept their gifts, Joe thought for a moment before accepting their gifts indifferently. “Okay, I will accept these gifts. Thank you.”
Since they wanted to thank him and follow in his footsteps, he should accept their gifts.
When everyone saw that Joe was willing to accept their gifts, they smiled in relief.
Joe casually stuffed the one hundred million dollar cheque and the two smart bracelet keys into his pocket before putting the box of wine glasses aside. After that, he said lightly, “Alright, let’s eat now!”
Everyone hurriedly replied, “Eat! Let’s eat!”
Just then, Don Albert stood and said, “Mr. Smith, I will continue to keep guard outside the door.”
Joe nodded without asking him to stay.
This was because he knew that the people seated around the table would not be able to accept it if Albert were to have dinner with them.
After all, no matter how good his character or personality was, Don Albert was still a mobster boss, whereas the rest of them were all one of the richest or wealthiest people in town.
