Tanya disagreed with her father’s words but she did not say them out loud.“Tanya?” Bob stared at his daughter as he thought of something and laughed. “I am glad that you are willing to take over the family business. However, you are a woman and it isn’t appropriate for you to be engaged in business talks out there. You’re not a little girl anymore. I have been thinking about your marriage so I wanted to ask you if there is anyone you are interested in.”Tanya’s cheeks flushed in embarrassment when she heard that. She shook her head and said, “I…don’t have anyone in mind.”She walked towards her father to hug his arm and shook it in a playful way. “Father, I don’t want to get married yet. I want to stay by your side and help you out in our family business.”“Haha!”Relieved to hear that, Bob laughed but he still shook his head. “Silly girl, you should get married when it’s time! A daughter should not be clinging on to her father forever!”His eyes flickered and he continued with
Bob walked towards them and smiled at Colt. “You finally have the time to come for a visit?”The Dokko family was a family of cultivators whereas the Snyder family owned a family business but they were close acquaintances. Bob and Colt were very close to each other as if they were sworn brothers.Bob greeted them and then instructed the maids. “Bring us some decent tea.”The maids served them tea. Bob and Colt chatted for a while before Colt said cheerfully, “I’m actually here today for Tanya!”He explained everything!Jonas had gone to his father right after he returned home the night before. He had begged his father to help Tanya regarding the collaboration with Dragon Tech.Colt was famous in the community so he barely interfered in the business industry. However, he had to agree this time because his son begged him desperately. Plus, the matter was concerning his future daughter-in-law.Phew!Bob gave Tanya an accusing glance when he heard that.He let out a bitter chuckle
Colt looked as astonished as Bob. He did not expect that Tanya would reject his son in such a blunt manner.Tanya took in a deep breath and turned to Bob, her expression serious. “Father, I told you that I don’t want to get married just yet. I want to help you in managing the family business. Also, Jonas is not my type.”“Tanya!” Jonas panicked and explained himself hurriedly. “I know that you have your opinions about me but you just have to say it, I’ll change! I promise to be good to you forever!”Tanya did not reply..“Haha…”Colt laughed and glanced at Tanya. “Tanya, you’re still young. It’s good that you have your own opinions but you have to understand that Jonas’s feelings towards you are sincere. I know that you want to help to manage the family business but that would be exhausting for a woman. Wouldn’t it be great to have someone to help you out if you get married to Jonas? Also, you would have the Dokko family’s support when our families merge because of the wedding. Th
Fuh!Bob finally regained his senses. He looked at Darryl from head to toe. “You must be Darryl Darby, the Sect Master of Elysium Gate and the emperor of Westrington.”His eyes were filled with suspicion as he said that because Darryl was dressed in an extremely common attire. He did not look like a hotshot who was famous in the nine cities at all!Colt and the Snyder family’s subordinates around them fixed their stares on Darryl with caution all at once.Many of them were attracted to Gonggong, especially the men. They were staring right at her.Pretty!She looked really pretty!They could not believe that such a perfect woman existed. She looked like an angel sent from above.Under the crowd’s gaze, Darryl smiled lightly as he gave Bob a handshake. “You must be Mister Snyder, Tanya’s father. You’re right, I am Darryl Darby. Excuse me for coming to your place and intruding.“Darryl was secretly observing Colt when he said those words.He could clearly sense that Colt had pow
‘Is he really Darryl Darby?’“Haha!”Jonas could not help it and burst into laughter. The crowd muttered amongst each other. He pointed to the mask in Darryl’s hand. “Brat, I have to give it to you. The mask looks super authentic! Let me tell you something, there are way too many who claimed to be Darryl Darby and there are also many fake masks like this one! Will you believe me if I say that I can make one that is similar to yours within just half an hour in the Snyder family’s factory?”Most of the people in the room burst into laughter.Darryl frowned, looking displeased. ‘Is he crazy? Is he picking on me just because I got closer to Tanya? It’s not like I have any grudge against him.’“Jonas Dokko!” Tanya was extremely furious. “Can you please stop butting in? He is Darryl Darby, why are you accusing him of being a fake? Also, did you forget who saved us when we were captured at the Green Dragon City Gate in Westrington?” She was annoyed that Jonas was biting on the hand that
“Well…”Tanya bit her lip. She contemplated hard before she finally said softly, “Uncle, I will handle the business matter myself. I don’t want to trouble you.”She was not stupid. She had to refuse his help as she knew that she would not have the courage to reject Jonas’s next proposal if she were to accept Colt’s help.Colt smiled without saying anything.“Tanya!”Bob could no longer keep quiet. His brows furrowed as he reprimanded her, “Why are you rejecting your uncle’s help?”Bob acted like he did not care about the collaboration with Dragon Tech but it was actually making him frantic. He had only kept it in because of his status.“Exactly.” Jonas walked over hurriedly and seized the opportunity. “Tanya, you saw it yesterday. Dragon Tech’s owner is really arrogant, even I can’t handle him. It has to be my father. The collaboration between Dragon Tech and your family will be impossible if you refuse my father’s help.”He had a sincere expression. “You have always wanted to
“Yes, Master!” The maids answered and proceeded to prepare.The food and wine were prepared soon enough. There was a variety of food but only four sets of plates and cutlery were laid out. It was clear that Darryl was not included.“Huh?”Jonas stared at Darryl and shouted, “Why are you still here? Are you going to steal food and drinks from us? Let me tell you this, Tanya is a kind person, but-”He was interrupted before he could finish.“Master!”The butler entered, covered in sweat. He could hardly conceal the excitement on his face. He went to Bob and said courteously, “Paul James, the owner of Dragon Tech is here.”‘What?’Everyone present was shocked. Then they turned to look at Colt with admiration.They had known that the Dokko family was indeed respectable in the Middle Terra community. Even Paul was showing his respect to them.The owner of Dragon Tech came in person just moments after the Head of the Dokko family said that he was going to help Tanya.Colt was smi
Colt was indescribably pleased to be in the center of the crowd’s attention.He looked at Paul and nodded silently in acknowledgment.Colt recognized that Paul held himself very well. He did not make anyone feel hostile toward him at all because of his humbleness and good manners. No wonder he could manage a tech company on such a large scale.He figured that he should head over to greet Paul as well.Colt had on a smile and walked towards them. “Hello, it is such an honor to have you here!”He thought that Paul would accept his handshake but Paul only gave him a polite smile before looking in another direction.Paul looked around and walked straight past him.“What…”The whole hall became dead silent when they saw that. Everyone was stunned.“What’s happening?”“Shouldn’t Paul James have a friendly chat with Colt Dokko? Why is he being so indifferent towards him? He was a different person with Tanya previously!”Paul walked towards Darryl instead.The crowd gasped.“Perh
