Cavan, on the other hand, couldn’t help but shake his head as he smiled wryly. All humans had a limit to their alcohol tolerance, and he would definitely make Gerald drink till he exceeded his. True to his word, his classmate’s family truly did own a winery. Cavan was certain that he would be able to completely ruin Gerald since his classmate—whom he also considered to be his brother—and his father were both extremely tolerant toward alcohol. In fact, after a check-up, their bodies apparently had access to a lot more alcohol breaking enzymes compared to regular people! He had once seen his classmate drink seven whole bottles of extremely high alcohol percentage liquors, back to back, before finally reaching his limit. Seven whole bottles of alcohol! With that in mind, Cavan felt that Gerald would already be bleeding from his stomach long before his classmate even got too drunk. Now that all of them were ready, the rules were simple. Each of the five participating people—inclu

After saying that, Juliet simply frowned before adding, “…You know what? I don’t care anymore. She can just do whatever she wants to, right?” With that, Juliet drove both of them home. Upon returning home, both of them were greeted to the sight of a glamorous woman sitting on the sofa. As soon as she saw Gerald and Juliet, she immediately stood up and pointed at Gerald before saying, “So he’s Gerald? What right does a person like him have to enter the Yowell family?” The woman who had just insulted Gerald was of course, Juliet’s mother who went by the name of Heidi. Heidi had been notified about her daughter’s marriage while she was still abroad. The moment she found out that Juliet had gotten married to some wimpy man, she ended up immediately passing out! When she woke up, however, she instantly booked a flight straight for home. All that led to the current scene. “Like that has anything to do with you. My marriage with him is a personal matter that doesn’t require your i

His eyes stared coldly at the man as he asked the question. With his keen ears, Gerald was able to hear how the person breathed from where he stood. Based on that alone, Gerald could already tell that this was an extraordinary person. Since the figure wasn’t replying, Gerald was about to consider his next move when all of a sudden, a few flashes of lights flickered before him. The next thing he knew, four other similarly dressed men jumped out of nowhere and they were now all standing before him! Just like the person he had initially been chasing after, all four of the new hooded figures seemed to have skills and abilities far higher than what he currently possessed. ‘Could it be the Moldells?’ Gerald thought to himself. “There are two reasons why we have called you out today, Gerald!” announced the man who had led Gerald there. From his voice, Gerald could guess that the person under the hood was a somewhat elderly man. “State them.” “Before that, I hope you’re aware th

Heidi then continued, “Throughout my absence, I’ve been contacting several extremely powerful forces from different countries. As was expected, all of them were very eager to get their hands on the Ginseng King! You should’ve seen the prices they were offering us for it!” “But didn’t you say that the price wasn’t an issue, mom? After all, getting it off our hands should be the priority since all the Ginseng King has brought to our family is trouble! There are already a number of powerful forces keeping a close eye on us because of it! Why are you still contacting so many buyers instead of quickly getting rid of it?” replied Tulip in surprise. “Pfft! Silly girl… Can’t you see what I’m trying to achieve? Contacting more foreign buyers will definitely be beneficial for our family in the long run! See, once the buyers realize that other forces are also aiming to get their hands on the Ginseng King, all of them will eventually end up fighting for it! With each of the foreign forces bein

“I got it, mom. Still, isn’t the Royal Dragon Group’s boss rather mysterious? After all, he was able to rise up the ranks in Heavenly City so quickly! The boss must be extremely extraordinary! Also, from what I’ve heard, he’s been unwilling to participate in many occasions… It makes me wonder if such a powerful figure would actually want to participate in our family’s event in the first place!” replied Tulip. “Upon returning to the country, I’ve heard matters regarding the Royal Dragon Group as well. Rumors say that the Royal Dragon Group is packed with extremely fierce and tough subordinates. They also say that the boss of the group is a very young man with extremely vague origins! Would you happen to know anything more about them, mom?” asked Juliet who had also been curious for a while now. After all, to think that the boss of the Royal Dragon Group was actually at the same age that she was! Juliet was also greatly interested in finding out what he actually looked like, as well

“You must’ve heard wrong then! It’s impossible that he could be my son-in-law!” replied Heidi instantaneously as she peeked at the six young Japanese men who were standing silently behind Meiko. All of them had indifferent expressions etched on their faces. Gerald himself was already looking at the six subordinates Meiko had brought along with her. Sensing their powerful auras, Gerald could tell that all six of them were masters at their craft. This Japanese woman certainly wasn’t an ordinary person to be able to have such powerful guards by her side! Meanwhile, a large group of people began heading up from below the mountain villa. While several other forces had also been making their way up the mountain road, as soon as they noticed the ascending group behind them, the other forces immediately stood on both sides of the road to make way for them. “Madam! Those from the Royal Dragon Group are here!” exclaimed Heidi’s butler who had been standing by her side this entire time. H

“Yes… If possible, I’d like you to pass on this message—along with my business card—on my behalf to those from the Royal Dragon Group… ‘The Takena family would love to have the opportunity to meet up and have a meal with Crawford-san from the Royal Dragon Group. Do you accept?’ I do hope that you’ll convey this message to them for me!” explained Meiko as she bowed once more while holding out her business card. After taking it from her, Gerald looked at her card while thinking about how remarkable and well-educated this demure lady was. However, Gerald was well aware that this probably had to do with how strict Japanese culture was. Regardless, he still believed that as an individual, Meiko was no simple person. The fact that he didn’t know what kind of family the Takenas were only served to increase his suspicions. After thinking about it for a moment, Gerald nodded before replying, “Alright, I’ll pass the message to them for you, Miss Meiko. Enjoy your stay!” With that, Gera

Though Gerald was considerably excited, he quickly calmed himself down. While Gerald knew that his family had finally gained some respite after his disappearance so long ago, he was also well aware that he couldn’t just rush reconciling with the Crawfords just yet. His thought process was that once news about the matter got out to the public, then all his effort and hard work in the past few months would go to waste. The foundation that he had so painstakingly established would easily be wiped out by the Moldells once that happened! Understanding that, he knew that he absolutely couldn’t reconcile with his family yet! After glancing at Bea and Lyra one final time, he turned around and instantly left the scene. “You’ve finally arrived, Lyra! I’ve been waiting for you to arrive!” said Heidi excitedly. “You must’ve waited for a long time!” replied Lyra with a subtle smile on her face. Now that Lyra was standing before them, Juliet herself was starting to feel overshadowed up
