Chapter 845
Nicholas was absolutely appalled. ‘What’s happening?’Alex was a little confused as well.After taking a look at the young man, he was in his late twenties. The suit was well-tailored, yet he was slightly lacking in his looks. His hairline was way too high. If it got higher a bit, it would be the same as Zack Carter’s receding hairline.Then, a woman next to him eagerly introduced him. “Sis, Bro-in-law, this man that I’m going to introduce you to this time is a wealthy man. He’s truly a successful entrepreneur, his family business is going strong too! I heard they’re going to merge with a large company, their fortune will be boundless in the future! As your sister, I’d even have to rely on your family in the future!”Alex and Nicholas vaguely heard the conversation but they could understand the gist of it.The woman was Chloe’s aunt, her name was Heather Halls.The young man with receding hairline was Chad Hunter, Heather was the one who brought him here so that she could introdu

Heather was furious. “And who are you? How dare you talk to me like that? I—”Chloe immediately jumped out of her seat. “Aunt! They’re my friends, don’t insult them!”She then hugged Nicholas’ arm and introduced him to her parents. “Mom, Dad, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, his name is Nicholas… Beha Hudson.”Pfft!Chloe’s parents spat out their tea.“What’s his middle name again?” Chloe’s father, Adrien Zea stared at Nicholas with eyes wide open.Chloe’s cheeks flushed red, she knew his name wasn’t exactly the best. Just as she was about to explain, Chad started laughing. “You definitely live up to your name! Beha was it? Looks like your family doesn’t have enough bras that they have to name their son one! Do you really think you deserve to be her boyfriend, you poor loser? I wonder who gave you the balls to even come up here. Your bra? Heh, you’re such a clown that your name is a joke too!”Since Nicholas used to be a gamer, he was used to talking back when playing gam

In reality, when Chloe heard the words ‘Sunshine Co.’, she wanted to hide her face out of embarrassment.She wanted to speak out and tell her aunt that Alex was the young director of the business that was going to acquire Sunshine Co.However, Heather didn’t even give her a chance to speak.She started insulting Alex. “Which business? Does that have anything to do with you? Would you even know what I’m talking about if I told you? You thugs usually just… fight, smoke and drink, right? All you do is race cars and go to the arcade! Do you even know what an acquisition is? It’s not even that, I’m saying it’s a partnership!“Whatever, it’s no use explaining it to your lowlifes. You’re just ferns in a well.”Nicholas corrected her. “You’re wrong. It’s ‘a frog in a well knows nothing about the sea’, you old hag.”Heather fumed. “How dare you correct me? Do you even know what you’re saying?”Nicholas was speechless. He didn’t want to waste any more energy being angry and slowly turning

Just then, Chad’s phone started ringing. He looked at his phone screen and realized that it was a call from his uncle, Douglas Hunter.His heart dropped to his stomach.Chad knew that Douglas was the actual general manager of Sunshine Co.. He only bluffed in front of Heather a while ago.‘If Uncle is calling me now, does that mean this punk had actually called him?’He took a glance at Nicholas, but didn’t dare to not answer his uncle’s call.After picking it up, he said respectfully, “Uncle—”Right after that, a loud and harsh scolding came from the other line. “Chad, you f*cking piece of shit! What are you trying to pull out there? Have you offended someone? You better kneel before Mr. Hudson and the people in front of you and beg for forgiveness so they would reconsider acquiring Sunshine Co.! If you don’t, I’d break both your legs! You know I’m a man of my word!”“U-Uncle, you… you’re joking, right?”“Who the f*ck has the time to joke around with you? Give me your locatio

The person who had arrived was Douglas.As if a slap wasn’t enough, he started punching Chad until his face swelled up.“Kneel down!“Apologize!”“Or I’ll break both of your legs!”Douglas seemed to be very energetic as his eyes glistened while he beat his nephew mercilessly. His punches were enough to knock two of Chad’s teeth out and give him a nosebleed. Chad was kicked in the knees and made to kneel even if he didn’t want to.This was enough to scare Adrien and his whole family.The family of three were just normal citizens—Adrien was just a normal worker of some hardware store.He was only able to become the leader of his team with a salary of five thousand dollars per month, just enough to provide for the family in a big city in Michigan.Scarlett, on the other hand, was just a janitor for an accounting firm, so her salary was much lower. This was why the two would usually be cautious at all times. They would never want to provoke or offend anyone.They were just to

He finally spoke, nonchalantly. “Your stupid nephew didn’t really offend me. He just came here to court my bro’s girlfriend. He even tried using a thirty eight thousand necklace to provoke my bro, what a joke.”Thud!Douglas kicked Chad on his bottom, sending his face smashing to the ground before scolding him. “You bastard! Have you forgotten your family name just because you have a little damn cash? If your father didn’t die early, I would’ve broken both your legs ages ago!”Chad was crying hysterically as he pointed towards Heather. “Uncle, this woman was the one who approached me first, saying that she’d sell her niece to me… Well, I’m not married yet, so I’m just trying to bear a child and help keep my family bloodline! For Dad!”Chloe frowned upon hearing this. “Sell me to you? How much did she take?”Chad started stammering, hesitant to speak.However, Douglas slapped him right across the face again. “Say it!”Chad replied, “I gave her 300 thousand! And once I’ve slept wi

Douglas's expression changed immediately as he stared at Alex with shock gracing his features.Alex gave a faint smile. “What? Did I say something wrong?Douglas shook his head, and asked in surprise. “Sir, how…how did you see through it?”Alex pointed to the bracelet on his wrist. “That mystical tool isn't too bad, it does help to offset some of the Yin energy. However, there is no way to remove all of it. So, Mr Hunter, you need to be careful. The burden on your body is pretty heavy. When the Yin energy seeps in deeper, it will reach a limit, and when that time comes, even the gods can't save you.”At that moment, thousands of expressions flitted across Douglas's face.After a while, he asked with the utmost respect in his tone. “Sir, are you a superior of the mystical people? Could you please save my daughter?”After speaking, he fell to his knees with a thud in front of Alex. He looked both agitated but nervous and expectant at the same time Alex waved his hands dismissivel

Chloe’s parents were thoroughly satisfied.Nicholas introduced himself as the second generation of the demolition development in California. He owns several mansions back home that cost a fortune. And as if that wasn't enough, he also received performance shares that probably cost millions or even billions in the future.The chances of finding a son-in-law like this was one in a million. What more could her parents ask for?Chad heard all this as he knelt next to them. His heart prickled with embarrassment when he remembered how he had shown off a necklace worth thirty-eight thousand and how he boasted about having a child for twenty thousand. Oh, how he wanted to find a hole to hide in.Alex and Douglas finally came back.Douglas immediately dragged Chad up and left, while Alex stayed behind to celebrate Chloe's birthday with her family.Alex had arrived in a rush so he hadn't prepared any special presents. But after a bit of thought, he took out a blood energy pill, and smiled.
