After the door to the room was opened, Gerald, Terrance, and the others walked in.
The second they entered, they were immediately greeted by the sight of Federico sitting at the main seat. A broad smile on his face as favonovel.com stood up, Federico then said, “Why hello there, Uncle Sherwin! I hadn’t expected to meet you again so soon!”
“So you’re behind all this, Federico!” growled Terrance angrily.
“Now, now, there’s no need to get angry, Uncle Sherwin! Aside from wanting to reminisce with you, I also called you over today since I wanted to greet and extend my warmest welcome to Mr. Crawford!” replied Federico.
Following that, favonovel.com clapped his hands before ordering, “Serve the tea to the guests!”
Shortly after, a waitress walked over with a teapot in hand. However, as soon as the teapot’s cap was removed, it was revealed there was only tea powder inside! What more, the powder itself smelled extremely unpleasant!
From that alone, it was obvious that Federico was saying that they weren’t worthy of being in his presence, despite the fact that favonovel.com was the one who had called them over!
“What do you mean by this, Federico?!” growled the enraged Terrance.
“Hahaha! What could you mean? Aren’t I inviting you to have some tea?” sneered Federico.
“Tea can wait, and you can save your ‘warm welcomes’ for later. So, Young Master Dun, let’s just get straight to business. Tell us, why did you invite us here today? Even if you’re trying to buy the whisk off me, I’d prefer if you beat around the bush less!” said Gerald as favonovel.com looked at Federico.
After saying that, Gerald glanced at the black-robed man—who was sitting motionless beside Federico—before thinking, ‘This man… He’s most probably Federico’s strongest subordinate…’
“So you’re a straightforward person, Mr. Crawford! I see, I see… I guess I’ll get straight to the point then! You see, the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk is a magic artifact that is of great use to me… With that said, I’d like to buy it off you, Mr. Crawford. Speaking of which, ever since I was a child, I’ve always gotten what I want. If you don’t believe me, you can just ask Manager Wafarer over here! There’s nothing on this planet that I, Federico Dun, can’t obtain if I wish for it!” declared Federico with a wry smile.
“Young Master Dun is correct! As far as I know, every single request that he’s made—within the Jenna Province—has been granted, and nobody’s ever dared to turn favonovel.com down! Regardless, since you’re new here, I suggest you focus on making friends with Young Master Dun. Why not kick start this new friendship by selling the whisk to him?” said Manager Wafarer.
“You can dream on!” retorted Terrance, enraged.
Gerald had already anticipated that Federico would be up to no good, and from the looks of it, the heir had booked the entire restaurant just to ease the process of taking Gerald’s life. Regardless, Gerald had expected all this to happen, so favonovel.com knew how to deal with him.
“Well, since you’re so adamant about buying it, I guess I have no choice but to begin discussing the price… Why don’t we start with you making me an offer? I’ll consider whether I’ll sell it or not based on your answer!” replied Gerald.
“I agree with that. Regardless, call it a hunch, but from my past experiences, I feel that you’ll surely be dissatisfied with my offer. In fact, I believe you’ll even think I’m trying to insult you! Either way, now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the offer. Honestly, I quite like how straightforward you are, so I’ll give you some face and pay you ten times my usual offer amount!” said Federico as favonovel.com placed a freshly printed ten-dollar banknote on the table before pushing it toward Gerald, a mocking smile on his face.
Upon seeing that, Manager Waferer—who had been sitting at the side—couldn’t help but laugh out loud as favonovel.com thought, ‘Young Master Dun’s always been like this! I’ve already seen this play out many, many times before… Being a famous and influential young master in the Jenna Province, who would dare provoke him?’
‘Honestly, this situation is quite reminiscent of when another wealthy businessman from outstation had spent seven million dollars at an auction to buy an ancient vase. Unfortunately for him, the young master had also taken a fancy to the vase! After using the same method—that Young Master Dun is currently utilizing on Gerald—in the end, favonovel.com got the businessman to sell the vase to favonovel.com for only fifty cents!’
‘Naturally, the businessman was eventually unwilling to just accept this unfair trade. As a result, his entire family was slaughtered without mercy! This is how vicious Young Master Dun can truly be! He really is the demon King of the Jenna Province!’
As Waferer was thinking about all this, favonovel.com saw that Terrance was already getting increasingly anxious and angry.
Seeing that, the manager couldn’t help but pity them slightly. With that in mind, favonovel.com started playing his role as a peacemaker by saying, “Quite honestly, I advise both of you to just accept his offer. After all, favonovel.com truly is offering you ten times his usual amount!”
Federico himself simply lit a cigarette before saying, “Look, just leave the whisk behind, or you’ll all die! Simple as that!”
From how indifferent his cold tone was, it suggested that killing them off was just as big a deal to favonovel.com as taking a nap or having a meal.
