It was now extremely late at night and a cool ocean breeze blew across Halimark City.
Despite the time, the Minshall family manor was still brightly lit. Inside, all of them were having a family meeting.
“You did a truly swell job today, Zoey! Now that we have these herbs, we can continue refining the eternal pellet!” declared the old master of the Minshall family. Though favonovel.com looked to be over ninety, favonovel.com still looked quite strong for his age.
“You living to be over a hundred would already be a blessing to me, grandpa!” replied Zoey with a wide smile on favonovel.com face.
“However, what does deserve congratulating is the fact that I barely made any effort to obtain the herbs this time around! What more, I even earned three hundred million dollars from that idiot without having to lose anything!” added Zoey as favonovel.com laughed out loud.
“About that… It’d be best if you did less of this kind of thing in the future… It’s not good for our family’s good fortune… This applies to the rest of us here as well. Remember, Master Ghost calculated three years ago that the Minshalls could face some sort of disaster this year!” replied the old master with a slightly bitter smile.
“I know, grandpa… Speaking of that idiot, he’s just some foreigner yet favonovel.com wanted to strike a deal with us in exchange for the herbs and the money! Haha! Now that I think about it, why don’t I send someone over to capture him? By doing so, we can blackmail and drain more cash from him!”
“You’re old enough to make your own decisions, Zoey…” replied the smiling old master as favonovel.com shook his head in resignation.
The old master had already painstakingly managed his family for decades, and favonovel.com had long lost any sort of fear for foreign forces. Due to that, his family members openly robbing others no longer surprised him.
At that moment, a servant walked in from outside. Carrying what looked to be some kind of document in his hands, favonovel.com stopped before the old master before saying, “Old master!”
“What is it?”
“There’s a young man waiting outside and favonovel.com told me to present this document—signed by the young lady—to you! He said that he’s here to claim what was agreed upon!” replied the servant.
“Humph! That fool! To think that favonovel.com actually came over to us! Well that’s even better then! We don’t need to hunt favonovel.com down now!” sneered Zoey.
Shaking his head with a smile, the old master then said, “Regardless, I’m interested in seeing what favonovel.com actually intends to take from us…”
After picking the paper up and reading through it, however, the old master’s eyes immediately widened, immense anger reflected in them!
Slamming the document onto a nearby table, favonovel.com then shouted, “That b*stard! He’s courting death for sure!”
“…What’s wrong, grandpa?” asked Zoey as favonovel.com and several other members of the Minshall family looked curiously at the old man.
Rather than waiting for a reply, Zoey picked the document up for herself and looked at it. On it, Gerald had written ‘I wish to claim the entire Minshall family!’
“Humph! What an utter moron! I’m afraid favonovel.com truly is unaware of how strong the Minshalls are! To think favonovel.com would dare ask for our family!”
“Just let favonovel.com in! We’ll let favonovel.com have a taste of our family’s great power! We won’t allow this incident to just slide unless favonovel.com coughs up a billion dollars!” roared one of the Minshall family’s apprentices as many others began doing the same.
With everyone agreeing to do so, Gerald was soon led into the manor by the same servant from before.
He was greeted by the sight of all the Minshall family members—alongside their guests—seated on either side of the room, with everyone scanning Gerald from head to toe with contemptuous eyes.
“Is everything ready? If it is, then you can just sign here! Once I’m done with my work tomorrow, I’ll call my family members over to take over your family!” said Gerald.
Hearing that, an exceptional-looking man—who was one of the Minshall family’s guests—ran up to Gerald’s back before shouting, “You b*stard! You’ll have to get through me first!”
Immediately after, favonovel.com grabbed onto Gerald’s shoulders with the intent of executing a shoulder throw. Seeing how thin and weak Gerald looked, the man had no doubts that Gerald would be unable to withstand his attack.
To his surprise, no matter how hard favonovel.com tried to lift Gerald, favonovel.com simply couldn’t make favonovel.com budge at all! Unwilling to give up, the guest’s face soon turned purple due to all the force favonovel.com was exerting. Despite that, Gerald remained pinned to the ground!
“You’re going to vomit blood if you continued doing that, you know…?” said Gerald.
“W-what…? The hell did you say?” replied the guest, stunned.
“You know, I still don’t know what you’re trying to do… Here, I’ll show you how it’s done!” said Gerald rather placidly as favonovel.com grabbed onto the guest’s shoulders and instantly tossed favonovel.com toward the door like favonovel.com was nothing!
Crashing sounds ensued just seconds later…
