The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

"Then it's settled!"

At this moment, the corners of Smith's mouth were harder to suppress than AK.

"What I said just now may not sound nice, but we are all doing business, and we all want to maximize our profits. Mr. Bartomani, I can assure you that the 2 to 3 times the order I mentioned before is definitely the minimum requirement. The actual number of orders is very likely to be higher than this number.

But it's hard to say, it depends on the actual situation. But in order to make up for this part of the uncertainty, I know that the two Mr. Batmanni's parents' current housing in Empire is a bit shabby, so in two days, a villa in New York will be transferred to the name of the two gentlemen's parents!"

The condition proposed by Smith made Antonio and Dunn's eyelids twitch involuntarily.

You know, their house in Empire is not small. Even if Dunn and Antonio get married and live with their wives at their parents' house, they can still live there. Even if they have a few more children, the house is definitely enough.

As a result, the other party gave me a villa in New York as soon as he asked. You know, in a place like New York where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, owning a villa is definitely what many people pursue throughout their lives.

And from what Smith said, the area of ​​this villa is definitely not smaller than the area where his parents live now.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Smith!"

Antonio was not polite either. He knew that only by accepting these things would the other party feel at ease.

As he spoke, he shook hands with Smith again enthusiastically. Although Dunn also showed a reluctant expression on his face, he still followed his brother and shook hands with Smith again, which showed his attitude.

Seeing this, Smith didn't say anything more. His mission this time was completely completed, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Bartomani! My wife and I will go to the bowling club to play for a while. Are you interested in joining us?"

Faced with Smith's invitation, Dunn refused this time.

"No need, Mr. Smith! My two brothers decided to go back to New York to reunite with our parents this afternoon. Our schedule has already been arranged, so it's really inconvenient for us to go!"

This was indeed what the two brothers had agreed upon. Anyway, it would take several days just to wait for the results after the meeting at the Ministry of National Defense.

And the result this time seems to be determined.

"Of course, of course. Tell the good news to the elders as well!"

Smith nodded.

Dunn and Antonio said goodbye and left.

After the two brothers left the hotel and got in the car, Antonio finally showed a hint of excitement on his face, which was completely different from his previous calmness.

"Hahaha! Brother, we are really rich this time! Unfortunately, if we had talked to the other party carefully just now, we might have been able to get better conditions!"

"Why don't you talk to him then?"

Dunn asked jokingly.

"I can't bring myself to lose face. Aren't you the same? We two brothers have the same problem. Fuck! Why do we care so much about face? We should have had a good talk with them just now and see if we can get them to give us more!"

Antonio's face was full of regret at this time, and Dunn shook his head helplessly.

Indeed, if the two brothers had wanted to talk, the other party would definitely have been able to offer something better.

But Deng Enzhi was not here. His main purpose was to see if he could successfully instigate a ceasefire plan at this national defense meeting.

But now it seems that this plan is just wishful thinking, and there is no possibility of a ceasefire this year.

"what!"

Suddenly, Antonio exclaimed, and Dunn looked at his brother with some confusion.

"Emily!"

At this moment, the two brothers were sitting in the back seat. Do you want to lean forward and point to a car in front? Sean Smith was walking towards a black sedan with a woman's arm.

And the woman he was holding was Emily.

Antonio suddenly showed a strange expression and looked at Dunn.

Antonio certainly knew Emily, and he knew even more about his brother's previous relationship with Emily.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Dane didn't expect to see Emily in this place. He thought of what Smith said before, that he would go bowling with his wife.

Then Emily's identity is now clear.

Dunn was a little surprised. He didn't expect Emily to be able to hook up with Smith.

I just don't know if Emily revealed my information to Smith, but Dunn really has no feelings for this woman. No matter what he does, it has nothing to do with Dunn.

"No, it's nothing!"

Antonio replied awkwardly while instructing his driver.

"Go to New York as planned!"

The driver nodded and immediately started the car and left the hotel parking lot.

Antonio was much quieter along the way and didn't say much else. He probably felt that Dunn would definitely not be in a good mood.

He was also a smart man and knew that it was best not to bother his younger brother at this time.

This made Dunn feel a little funny. In fact, his mood was not that bad, but he wanted to be quiet for a while. It was okay for Antonio not to speak at this time. So he and the others closed their eyes in the back seat and waited to go home.

This time, the two brothers asked the driver to drive directly to New York.

Although Washington and New York are not very close, the road system in the United States is already very complete at this time. If there is no traffic jam, it will take less than a day to drive from Washington to New York.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when my two brothers returned home. Since we had greeted our parents in advance, Mario and Sophie had been waiting for their two sons.

After meeting Mario and Sophie, Antonio immediately told his parents the good news that he was about to acquire a large property.

After hearing the whole story, Mario frowned.

"Just accept the gift from the other party. I hope it won't cause any trouble for you in the future!"

He didn't care about whether the war would stop or not. Anyway, even if Dunn was working in South Korea now, his position generally would not take him to the front line, and he would not encounter any danger if he did not go to the front line.

Although the couple were very worried about their youngest son's safety, they felt relieved after Dunn repeatedly assured them that he would never be too close to the front line.

They really didn't want Dunn to go to the battlefield again.

"It's no trouble! If we don't accept their gifts, there might be real trouble!"

Antonio explained.

However, he also noticed that Dunn was not in a good mood, and thought that Dunn might have been affected by the previous blow, so he patted Dunn on the shoulder.

"If you are tired, go back and rest first!"

But he was happy about it. He was in a bad mood right now, so he went back to his room and lay down.

Now Dunn is in the United States and cannot send the message to Liu Liyuan immediately. However, Liu Liyuan has been mentally prepared and has already greeted him before Dunn came. His action this time will not be smooth and there is a high possibility that he will return empty-handed.

So there was no need to rush to inform Liu Liyuan. If he really managed to turn the tide and reach a ceasefire agreement, he would have to inform Liu Liyuan to prepare in advance. But now, there was no need for that.

After a good night's sleep, I woke up the next morning in my pajamas and came to the living room. I felt that the atmosphere was a little off. Everyone in the family was very cautious when they met him.

This made Dunn feel helpless. It seemed that Antonio had told his parents about Emily's matter yesterday.

The three of them must have thought that they were hit hard. In fact, they were in a bad mood yesterday and it had nothing to do with Emily, but Dunn couldn't explain it.

While eating breakfast, Sophie looked at Dunn with some distress and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.

"Dad, Mom! I should get married this year!"

In desperation, Dunn had to speak first, as he couldn't let his family think that he might be hurt.

So Dunn also told her about Ree's engagement.

Although the couple had never met Rui Yi, they had mentioned this matter in their previous correspondence with Dunn, so the couple did not show too much surprise about the engagement. Instead, they were very happy.

Originally they were very worried that their youngest son would not be able to recover from the blow, but now it seems that the impact should not be significant, at most he will just be in a bad mood for a few days.

"What? When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"

Antonio felt a little strange when he found out his parents already knew about this. He felt like an outsider in the whole family.

"I haven't had time to tell you yet!"

Dunn said, rolling his eyes.

"Haven't I had a chance to meet you? I finally met you yesterday, but you ended up having dinner with that arms dealer!"

"That's good! That's good!"

Antonio said with a wry smile.

As long as his younger brother will not be affected by this, he, as an older brother, will feel relieved.

"Antonio, your brother is getting married soon. You are already so old, you should take care of your own affairs!"

At this time, Sophie frowned and said that she was not Antonio's biological mother, so she didn't dare to urge Antonio too much about some things. But Mario didn't seem to be in a hurry and didn't care about his eldest son's affairs. In fact, as a grown man, Mario didn't care enough about Dunn's affairs.

This made Sophie feel helpless, so he had to bring up the matter himself.

"Yeah, Antonio, I almost forgot, you're almost 40, why haven't you made any moves yet?"

Sophie and Dunn were speechless when they heard what he wanted there. This father was really careless.
