Gerald visited Finnley’s house once in the past.It was embarrassing to mention it but back then, Gerald felt that it was a little cumbersome to have Finnley by his side.He wanted Finnley to be able to settle down at home.However, Queta felt that it would be pitiful for Finnley to be left at home alone. Not to mention how fond Finnley was of Gerald, as reflected by how eager he was to follow him around all the time. So, he brought Finnley back to live in the villa with him.What a twist. The only person he could rely on now was Finnley. Gerald ran into the house.He saw a table full of delicacies on the table in the middle of the room.“Uncle Quick? Are you here?” Gerald asked.“Who is it?”At this moment, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron came out from the room next door, holding a steaming-hot dish in her hands.Gerald was taken aback.“I…I am looking for Uncle Quick! Finnley Quick!”The woman looked at Gerald, who reeked of sweat after toiling away the entire day
Finnley’s face looked rosier than compared to when Queta was taking care of him before this.He was carrying a bag of herbs.“I just arrived!” Gerald replied.“Why, grandson? Things sure went tits-up didn’t they?” Finnley asked as he chuckled.“You can say that again!” Gerald replied, “I have nowhere else to go now, so I guess I’ll be relying on you from now on!”“Hahaha! I’ve already asked Maria to wait for you for a few days now! Judging by how you look, you must have suffered a lot in the past few days. Come, let’s go. Maria has already prepared a table full of dishes. She’s prepared it for you! Come in and have a little drink with your gramps!”Finnley said as he patted Gerald on his shoulder.“So, it turns out that the Moldell family had forced you into a dead end. What is wrong with the Crawford family anyway? Don’t they have a lot of money? Did their balls drop off when facing the Moldell family?” The two men started talking over wine and food.Finnley was smoking a ci
“Uncle Quick, what do I need to learn?” Gerald asked.“You have to learn everything that I know. You can slowly take your time. Gerald, your physique is actually not that bad. For the past seven days, I have been picking specific medicinal herbs for you to take a bath in so that you can recoup your strength and vitality. Besides that, I will also perform acupuncture on you. Don’t worry! Under my guidance, it won’t be long before you become a master!”“You’ve been doing that for me for the past seven days?”Gerald was really touched when he heard this sentence.After all, his attitude back when he first met Finnley was not great. To think that the old man was willing to go to such great lengths just to help him. The man was actually concerned about his well being. Finnley was not his biological grandfather, but Gerald felt that he was much closer to him compared to his own grandfather.At this moment, there was nothing Gerald wished for more than to live up to Finnley’s expectati
“Kort’s third son, Jett?”Dylan clenched his fists.“Yes sir, that’s him!”“Hahaha! For the past 6 months, has there been anything that he did not want? Sell? Could he have been any more disrespectful? Tell him that we are not selling it!”Dylan slammed his hands heavily on the table.Although Kort could not come up with a valid justification to stop the Moldell family from assisting the Crawford family to track the Sun League, six months ago, he had asked his third son, Jett to join Parker’s team under the excuse that he should be gaining more experience. However, upon Jett’s arrival, he had been trying to seize everything that he wanted by force and Dylan had been very tolerant of him all this while.But this was the final straw.“But master, Kort Moldell has had his eyes on the Crawford family for a long time now. If Jett is not satisfied and tries to cause trouble for us, it might end up in a disaster for us!” The butler also replied helplessly.“Okay, fine! Fine! Give
“Brother!”Suddenly, a girl with a ponytail ran out of the kitchen while still holding onto some vegetables.She had seen the young man getting abused by their customers.So, she hurriedly set aside what she was doing before running over to save her brother. “Why did you hit my brother?”The girl lunged over with tear-filled red eyes.“Why did we hit him? Hmph! Look at this! He dirtied my clothes! What is wrong with your restaurant? How can you hire such a clueless waiter like him? He’s just asking for a beating at this point! Damn it! Tell me, what are you going to do now? If you don’t cough up some money as compensation, prepare to see your restaurant all smashed up!” The woman said coldly.“Don’t smash the shop! Please! I beg of you!”The youth burst into tears as he groveled at their feet.“Brother, don’t do that!”The girl said anxiously.The girl looked like she was just in her early twenties.She was a hardworking and sensible girl.That made it all the easier to
The young man took off his peaked cap before placing it aside. After that, he flicked his burning cigarette butt out of the restaurant.As soon as he took off his cap, everyone inside the restaurant could clearly see that despite his skinny physique, he gave people an intimidating aura, and also how handsome and delicate his face was. When the woman heard this, she started acting more anxiously.“You must be blind! This is a genuine product! No way in hell will a person like you be able to distinguish between a genuine and a fake product! Why don’t you admit that you guys aren't going to compensate me! Looks like I’ll have to teach you a lesson today lest you forget how powerful I am!” The woman glanced at Bertold as she motioned for him to go ahead.Bertold and his men started advancing on the young man. “Alright, that’s enough. I know that all of you are great people. However, it’s really a knock-off! Why would I possibly lie to you?”As he spoke, the young man grabbed the
Bertold gulped in fear.The woman was starting to feel fearful as well.She was afraid that this young man would also break her arm just like how he did to Bertold’s.She followed behind the young man as they walked into the backyard.They finally arrived in a shack in their backyard. Thud!The young man shut the heavy door behind them loudly.The both of them shivered in fright.But they had no other choice. After all, Bertold could not allow his arm to remain the way that it was.“You better fix my arm for me. Or I’ll not let you go. Why don’t you go around and ask…”Bertold wasn’t going to lose his pride that easily. So, he continued speaking with a hostile look in his eyes.“Okay, that’s enough. I already told you that I know how powerful both of you are. So, let’s talk things over!”The young man interrupted him before he could finish speaking.“Heh heh. As long as you fix my man’s arm, we won’t be asking for any compensation!”The woman said.Slap!The young man
Bertold grabbed hold of the woman’s arm and got her to shut up.After that, he thought to himself:‘Am I going to leave like this? Hahaha! He should ask around and see what kind of a person I am. I may leave today but come tomorrow, I’ll be here with more of my men! When night falls, I will raze this place to the ground. After that, I will capture the young brat and I will cut the tendons in his arms and legs! Like hell I’m gonna let this slide so easily! Being impulsive will bring us nowhere. I can’t fight the kid head-on, not right now at least. After all, I don’t have enough men with me!”“Bertold, wait a minute!”At this time, the young man walked out of the room where they were tortured.He waved his hand at Bertold.“Ahh? Big brother, what’s wrong?” Bertold said.“Come back here. I forgot something!” The young man said.Bertold walked back to him.“I forgot something just now. I don’t think I’ll be relieved if I let you just leave like that, would I?” “Big brother, wha
