Yoel said, "But the folks behind the And Only Jewelry Corporation are the Sanchezes, and it's not like we can mess with people like them. They have many strong fighters in their family, and they're quite far from us too! These people won't be easy to deal with!" After a pause, he continued, "Why did they change their mind at the last minute, Dad? Could the person who ordered the item from Brookbourn be more powerful than us? Are the Sanchezes more worried about offending them compared to offending us?"Mason frowned too. "This is very strange indeed. I asked Carlito about it earlier, and all he said was to forget about the two pieces. He told me that the person in Brookbourn was the one who paid the deposit first and that neither we nor they are in a position to offend that person. I was asked to just give the matter a rest, and we will be allowed to choose other products from their store with a complementary forty percent discount!""I don't care about the discount! I want that thin
When Yoel heard that, he immediately persuaded, "That's not a good idea, Horus. It'll be very bad for our family's reputation if anyone finds out what you did. How about we just buy it at a higher price?"Horus's expression soured instantly and he retorted, "What's wrong with that? The item was supposed to belong to me, but that person from Brookbourn took it from us! Isn't it just for me to snatch it back? It'll be an even bigger disgrace to our family if I don't get it back!" Having ended his sentence, Horus could not help but smirk as he glared at Yoel and said, "Or could it be that you're jealous of me? After all, my wife Rachel is a beautiful woman, don't you think? You're just jealous of me for marrying such a beautiful woman! Didn't you stop me when I wanted to marry her the other day? I think you're in love with my woman too!"Yoel was utterly speechless. Rachel did not like Horus at all, and she only accepted his marriage proposal under Horus's threats and duress. During tha
Horus arrived in Brookbourn later that night and got off the plane with his men. As soon as he arrived, he saw the advertisements on the entire city's bus route maps as well as some of the buses."This Severin guy is getting married in seven days too? Is he the same person who snatched my necklace and ring?" Horus could not help but frown when he looked at the photo in the advertisement."Help me find out if any other rich kid is getting married on the same too!" Horus decided to instruct one of his subordinates, who immediately ran out to find out more about the situation.Horus stared at the photo on the poster in a daze, and after looking at it for some time, he could not help but touch his chin as he said, "I never expected there to be such beautiful women here in Brookbourn. It's a shame that she's going to get married soon. If not, I could always get her to marry me and turn her into my mistress.""Indeed, sir. Her beauty is on par with Rachel's and they're both extremely bea
When the owner of the car rental company heard that, the smile on his face froze instantly and he said bitterly, "That doesn't sound good. I wouldn't dare to offend someone like Severin!"Horus's face soured as he glared at the other party and asked, "Do I look like the kind of person that you can offend then?"The corner of the man's lips twitched violently a couple of times as beads of cold sweat began forming on his forehead. He said, "No, no! That's not what I meant at all! Maybe I can bring you to the area where he lives and then point out his house to you from afar. As for myself… Well, I won't follow you there!""Look at how big of a scaredy cat you are!" Horus grinned coldly and said, "Off we go then. You can just bring us to his residential area and tell us which one is his house!"The owner of the car rental company immediately breathed a sigh of relief and led the fleet of cars to Dragon Lake Vista. The owner stopped the car in the distance, pointed out which villa Sever
Diane felt a little rattled by those people. Although the item was incredibly beautiful and she fell in love with them as soon as she tried them on that day, she knew that South County Mansion was an existence that they could not afford to offend.Severin smiled at Diane. "Relax, honey. They won't be able to do anything to me!"Diane was speechless when she heard his response. Though she did not doubt her husband's strength, there were probably a lot of strong people in South County Mansion too, and her husband might not be able to handle them that easily."Know your place, kid. I'm already showing you a lot of courtesy here!" When Horus saw that Severin was reluctant to pay the bill, the corners of his mouth twitched violently a couple of times. "I've told you that I'd rather do things the easy way than the hard way, but since you're not going to show the same courtesy to us, don't blame me for having to be harsh on you."A bodyguard also took a step forward and said, "Just take t
Their unreasonable remarks prompted Severin to sneer and say, "Am I supposed to just let your men hit me without fighting back? Where's the rule that says only your people are only allowed to attack?" After a pause, Severin continued, "I was already kind enough not to end his life right then. After all, you did show some courtesy to me instead of attacking me right away, so the least I can do is stay my hand a little!""Son-of-a-b*tch! The amount of disrespect you've shown to me is unacceptable!" Horus had never been so deflated in all his life. He glared at Severin and threatened, "You'll regret this."He then waved his hand and said, "Attack him all at once!""Yes, sir!" All the other bodyguards charged forth, leaving only the level one warrior king standing there beside Horus. That warrior king felt that he did not need to join the fray when there was already an abundance of men attacking Severin."Hmph. Did you think there weren't any fighters here?""Do you think we're pushov
"Just you wait!" Horus downplayed Severin's threat and left with his men."These county mansion guys are such terrible people! I can't believe they came to our door, and they even had that attitude too!" Abigail could not help but vent her anger after Horus's group had left.Beside her, Naomi said, "What makes it worse is that even his subordinates were acting all high and mighty! They probably even use South County Mansion as a pretext to bully people!"Lillie could not help but cover her mouth and laugh. "Haha, did you see how fat that Horus guy was? He's got those jiggle physics when he walks. The woman who's getting married to him must be blind to fall for a guy who looks like an obese pig!"Naomi said, "You probably wouldn't understand, but as the scion of a county mansion, there are probably hordes of gold-diggers who can't resist throwing themselves at him. Some women are very materialistic, you know."The beautiful bodyguards chatted away as if the entire incident from ear
The men who came with Horus had brought along some medicine in case of injury. Since they were all in a bad mood, they decided to just go back to the hotel and recuperate. Horus had just finished taking a shower and was about to make a call when Mason called before he could."How's everything on your end? Did you manage to get the ring and necklace? Are they pretty?" Mason asked with a smile, believing that Horus had already managed to obtain the items.Horus smiled wryly and said, "Severin is a very arrogant person, Dad. I did as you said and I planned to give him an extra fifteen million, but he wouldn't accept it at all! He and his bodyguards then beat up some of our men too!""He beat them up?" Mason was stunned and wondered if he had heard it wrongly. "You're not pulling my leg, are you? I thought you brought several profound masters along with a warrior king. How did you get beaten up by him? Isn't Brookbourn just a small city?"Horus was just as lost for words as to what hap
