Iris Bai extended her hand and shook mine.
Then, she spoke sincerely:
"Mr. Lupan, I’m counting on you for today’s gamble. I promise you right now. No matter the outcome of this round, I will give you a million US dollars!"
I smiled faintly and countered:
"What about the safety issue?"
Thanks to my conversation with Lennon,
I was curious to see how Iris Bai would respond to this question.
A hint of embarrassment flickered across Iris Bai’s face.
She turned and pointed to the crowd of bodyguards behind her, saying:
"Mr. Lupan, you don’t know me, Iris Bai. If I promise something, I will deliver. The brothers here today, there are at least seventy or eighty of them. Let me put it this way: if anyone dares to harm you, Mr. Lupan, they will have to answer to me, Iris Bai!"
I smiled inwardly and said no more.
Iris Bai was not bad; at least she didn’t bring up that Lennon had agreed to handle the matter.
