Chapter 7

Author: Mr. Z
Edward's cold gaze locked onto Hailey as he reached out his hand. "Since this isn't your family's Volkswagen, can I have my key back now?"

Hailey let out a contemptuous snort, tossing the key into Edward's hand.

"I'm sure this key is just a toy. Do you really expect me to believe that some country bumpkin like you could afford a Maybach?"

Willian sneered and added, "With how poor he is, there's no way he can afford a Maybach. I'll eat my hat if he does. Edward has been living off Winona all these years. Without her, he's just a worthless man."

Then, William pointed to the yellow Maybach parked nearby and mocked, "I bet you don't even know what a Maybach looks like. Let me educate you. That car over there? That's a Maybach."

Around them, people began noticing the yellow Maybach parked in front of Villa 20. A buzz of admiration filled the air.

"That car is stunning! The sleek curves, the flashy design. If I had a car like that, I'd be the king of the road."

    Edward never imagined that a woman would come to him so willingly, especially in a hotel room. Was this some kind of setup?"Are you okay?" Edward asked.Her eyes were shut tightly, her breathing shallow, and a flush of red spreading across her pale face. She seemed disoriented.Before he could react further, she pressed her lips against his in a sudden kiss."Wait… wait, I can't handle this kind of test!" Edward stammered.He never expected the woman to start kissing him nonstop.Was she trying to test him this way?He tried to push her away, but she was relentless. Soon, he found himself wrapped in the woman's arms as she showered him with kisses, her legs locking around his thighs.Holding onto her waist, Edward stumbled around clumsily until they both tumbled onto the bed.-Warm morning light streamed through the window, falling on Edward's face. His closed eyes twitched, his dark lashes fluttering slightly before his eyes snapped open.Beside him lay a woman with a f

    Edward had just finished packing up and was heading out the door when he spotted two people sneaking around his yellow Maybach.Who the hell stole cars in broad daylight?He couldn't believe his eyes. His car was worth over a hundred million meldos, so it was hard to imagine anyone not coveting it."What the hell are you doing?" he shouted.One of the men, with his face pressed against the window, didn't notice him approach. Edward stormed over and kicked him square in the backside."Ow!" The guy yelped, jumping up like a startled cat, hands clutching his rear in pain."Edward, are you out of your mind?" the man growled, turning around, eyes burning with anger and his face contorted in pain.It took a moment for Edward to recognize him—William."William? What the hell are you doing here?"From the other side of the car, a woman's voice called out, and Edward turned to see Hailey.He couldn't believe it. Of all the places to run into these two. His patience was wearing thin, a

    ”Mom, did you just tell me to go to Edward to ask for the Volkswagen back?“Did Edward drive it away?”Winona looked at Hailey in astonishment.She didn’t expect Edward to be so petty. No one would want that car even if they wanted to sell it. It was basically worthless.Yet Edward drove it away without even telling them about it. He was clearly taking advantage of them.Winona frowned, her heart wavering. Was Edward really so petty? Had she been wrong about him all this while?Edward had even beaten up her brother in anger when her brother and mother went to him to ask for the car.If that were really the case, it was truly a wise decision to divorce him.“Not the Volkswagen,” Hailey said, “but the Maybach.”The Maybach?Winona looked confused at Hailey’s mention of a Maybach. She never knew she owned a Maybach.Hailey noticed the doubt in Winona’s eyes and said anxiously, “My dear girl, what’s going on with you? Don’t you remember buying a Maybach at a hundred million meld

    Winona looked displeased at being yelled at by Edward and said defiantly, “That’s right, I want this car of yours.”Edward looked greatly disappointed in Winona. Hailey might not be aware about the car, but was Winona ignorant, too?This car had nothing whatsoever to do with Winona, yet she had the cheek to demand this car from him after their divorce. How could she be so shameless?Winona herself looked stunned by her own words. She didn’t expect herself to blurt that out.Hailey felt even more emboldened by Winona’s words and said arrogantly to Edward, “Did you hear what my daughter said just now?“You bought this car before you two were divorced. In other words, this car is a shared asset within the marriage and Winona technically owns half of it.“How about this? I have a few thousand in my pocket. Take it as compensation and we’ll drive this car away.”Hailey unzipped her waist pack and pulled out a couple of wrinkled notes and threw it at Edward before trying to snatch the

    Hailey exploded the moment she heard that the car didn’t belong to Edward. If this car really didn’t belong to him, she had no way of getting her hands on it. This was a car worth a hundred million meldos. She couldn’t accept the fact that her chance of getting her hands on it disappeared just like that.Clyde looked daggers at Hailey who cowered in fear and took two steps back to stand behind Winona.Winona spoke up, “Mr. Hardwick, you’re going overboard here. You don’t lack money. Why must you take a car from ordinary people like us? Even if this car is worth a hundred million meldos, that’s spare change for someone like you. Aren’t you smearing your reputation by behaving this way?”Clyde said with a smirk, “I didn’t expect you to have such a sharp tongue. It’s no wonder you’re a CEO of a company at such a young age. But you got one thing wrong. This car really is mine. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the inspection document issued by the customs.”At once, Steven turned

    “He almost inflicted internal injuries on me with that slap. I’ll make that bastard end up in jail for that!”Everyone knew that her claim of suffering from internal injuries was nonsense at the sight of how loud and powerful her voice was, and they started badmouthing and pointing fingers at her once more.“This old woman is truly shameless. How dare she claim to have internal injuries when she’s standing right there, yelling at him without so much as panting?”“Shameless people are really something. Now that they failed to steal the car, they’re trying to slander the man and land him in jail. This family is truly vicious.”“The daughter of this old woman is vicious too, trying to send her ex-husband to jail. He is so unlucky to have married her. Thankfully, he divorced her in the end.”Winona overheard the hushed whispers from the crowd, and her face darkened with displeasure. She felt so embarrassed she wished the ground would swallow her up.Edward looked at Winona in disappo

    The crowd burst out in excited chatter upon hearing Clyde’s words.“I heard that Mr. Hardwick’s lawyer is amazing. He even sent a judge who participated in trials to jail. He’s awesome!”"I've heard that on bad days, he can send the accused to jail. On an average day, he can have the opposing lawyer locked up for at least three years. And on a good day? He can even put the judge behind bars."“Wow, I didn’t expect Mr. Hardwick’s lawyer to be so impressive. In that case, wouldn’t the mother, daughter, and son all be sent to jail?”Winona’s face was dark with displeasure. She had heard about the reputation of Clyde’s lawyer and knew that he was a very powerful and influential lawyer indeed. If Clyde really were to summon his lawyer, they might really find themselves in jail.Winona looked back at Edward with mixed feelings in her eyes. She knew that he was the key in this entire incident. If Edward could let this go, they would stand a chance of getting away.“Edward, we were once

    Winona simply couldn’t believe that Edward was insisting for her to apologize to him. Was this the gentle and thoughtful Edward she knew? She bit her lip hard as indignation filled her eyes.“Edward, are you really going to treat me so harshly? You weren’t like that in the past…”Edward knew from Winona’s words that she was trying to gain his sympathy. Before their divorce, her attempts at gaining his pity had always worked. But now, after their divorce, Edward had seen through Winona and refused to fall into her trap.Edward said, “Quit acting pitiful in front of me. I’m not going to fall for that. It’s fine if you refuse to apologize to me. Everyone saw how your mom tried to steal from me. I’ll send her to jail for at least eight to ten years.”Hailey’s face paled with fright at Edward’s words as she looked at him with fear in her eyes.“Edward, I was once your mother-in-law, after all. How could you bear to send me to jail?”Edward scoffed, “You said it yourself, you were once

    When Winona was chatting happily with all the bigshots at the gala, a young man decked out in luxury labels approached her.“Congratulations, Winona. After Spencer Group secures the ten-billion-dollar project with Draken Group, your company will rise to become the top company in Havaria overnight.”Winona’s smile brightened further at his words as she said with a chuckle, “It’s all thanks to your help that we could secure this project, Mr. Wilson.”The young man was the eldest son of the Wilson family, Jim Wilson.The Wilsons were part of the upper class society in Havaria and Wilson Group was worth tens of billions in net worth.Everyone greeted Jim enthusiastically when they saw him.“Mr. Wilson, you’re looking sharp. I just opened a club on the east side of the city—drop by sometime.”“Lloyd, come on. You really think Mr. Wilson would go to a place like that? He’s been into Ms. Spencer for ages. If he’s got free time, he’d rather spend it with her.”“I think Mr. Wilson and M

    “In that case, send me the address.”Skyler was overjoyed to hear Edward accept his offer.It was a great chance for him to get closer to Edward. He had to put his best foot forward.Half an hour later, Edward drove to Havaria’s number one district, Mandarin Gardens.Mandarin Gardens was the most expensive district in Havaria, filled with villas with a price per square foot of at least a hundred thousand dollars.Every single villa in the district cost at least ten million.Houses in Havaria’s city center cost only thirty thousand dollars per square foot. That alone was enough to show how frightening the cost of the villas in Mandarin Gardens was.Edward didn’t expect Skyler to offer him a place in Mandarin Gardens. Would it be too high-profile of him to stay there?However, with no other option for him to rest for the night, Edward decided to just make do and settle down in Mandarin Gardens.The next morning, Jennifer came looking for Edward in Mandarin Gardens, all decked ou

    Edward didn’t expect Skyler, the chairman of Draken Group to call him at this time.When he heard about the contract signing ceremony, he said, “No need. Cancel it.”He had divorced Winona. Why would he bother doing something good for her and giving her a contract worth ten billion?Didn’t Winona think that she could take off after securing the project worth ten billion?She was all ready to toss him aside after securing the project.In that case, he would call off the ten billion dollar order.Skyler was stunned to hear Edward’s words, but recovered quickly and said anxiously, “Mr. Channing, did I do something wrong to make you angry?“Just tell me and I’ll change.”Jaws would drop if people were to know how fearful and uneasy Skyler Dawson, the CEO of Draken Group with a net worth of thousands of billions, became with a single word from Edward.Skyler was such a bigshot in Zarconia, even the mayor treated him with respect.A single move from Skyler was enough to shake the c

    Edward put his palm in between Frederick’s brows as he channelled his inner energy into Frederick’s body.Edward’s inner energy spread out and unclogged the arteries in Frederick’s body.Very soon, Frederick’s pale face started to see some color. His breathing evened out as his vital signs returned to normal.Edward’s treatment came to a close before five minutes were over.“All done.”Edward retracted his palm and stepped aside. Walter hurried to the bedside at Edward’s announcement.When he saw the color in his father’s cheeks and his steady breathing, he finally exhaled out loud, feeling relieved. He turned to look at Edward with gratitude in his eyes.“Thank you very much, Dr. Channing. Just tell me if you need anything from now on.”Edward nodded in response.Charles signalled for the medical team to carry out various tests on Frederick.“H-how is this possible?”Very soon, Charles had his hands on Frederick’s report. After reading the results, he turned to look at Edwa

    Edward snorted and released Walter.Walter collapsed to the ground, rubbing his strained neck and taking in huge gulps of fresh air. He then looked up at Edward with fear in his eyes.He didn’t expect Edward to be a martial artist, and one that was highly-skilled, to boot. He couldn’t help but tremble in fear in Edward’s presence.Edward then looked coldly at Sean who was kneeling on the floor. He said flatly, “Didn’t you say you wanted to kill me just now?“I’m giving you the chance to attack me right now. I’ll just stand right here and you can try killing me.”Sean was trembling from head to toe.He was no fool. Edward could make everything fall to their knees just by his aura alone. It was probably easy as pie for Edward to take his life.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong…”Sean banged his head on the floor as he kneeled before Edward, his voice filled with fear.Smack!Edward lifted a hand to slap Sean twice, saying coldly, “What a useless bum you are.

    The bodyguards of the Daniels family were no ordinary bodyguards, but elite soldiers retired from special forces. Fighting against ten other men proved to be no problem for a soldier of that caliber.Yet Edward managed to subdue them in a single move each. The Daniels family wondered if they were in a nightmare.Edward disregarded the shock in everyone else’s eyes, the frightening aura he exuded silencing every single member of the Daniels family present.Aside from Sean, Clyde and Walter, everyone else had their knees on the floor and even their breathing became ragged, subdued by Edward’s powerful aura.Everyone turned to look at Edward with fright in their eyes.They finally realized how frightening Edward was. His aura alone was sufficient to subdue everyone in the room. How could he be just another ordinary man?Edward walked toward Walter step by step, the look in his eyes cold and hard.Walter swallowed past his constricted throat as he looked at Edward approaching him.

    “He’ll admit his mistake when we show him. I’m sure he’ll cry and shout for a chance to save Mr. Frederick. Let’s just wait and see.”To the Daniels family, Edward had no right whatsoever to be negotiating with them.Just then, Charles stepped forward and stood right in front of Edward.“Don’t move, all of you! Who dares to lay a finger on my master?”Everyone was stunned by Charles’ words.Sean said, displeased, “Dr. Shaw, what do you mean by this? Are you pitting yourself against our family for the sake of defending this brat?”Charles said fearlessly, “All of you heard our bet just now. Since he can save Mr. Frederick, that makes him my master.“As long as I’m here, I won’t let you touch a hair on my master’s head.”Edward, who was standing right behind Charles, looked at his slightly hunched back in surprise. He didn’t expect him to stand up for him at this moment.Clyde saw the situation getting tense and immediately stepped forward to ease the tension, saying, “Walter, w

    Everyone was immersed in joy to see Frederick awaken.They never expected their bubble of joy to burst with Edward’s words.Walter looked incisively at Edward and asked, “Young…Legendary Dr. Channing, what do you mean by that?”Walter had changed his address of Edward, a clear sign that he had a 180-degree turn in his attitude toward him.Clyde asked anxiously, “Dr. Channing, do you mean that Mr. Frederick is in such bad shape that even you can’t save him?”Everyone looked at Edward with doubt in their eyes as they waited anxiously for his explanation.Edward said flatly, “I’ve already made myself clear that I can save him.“I said that he was going to die in two minutes because I had no intention of saving him.”Edward’s words exploded in everyone’s minds like a bomb, their eyes widening in shock as they stared at him in disbelief.Had they just heard him wrongly?Edward had just said that he had no intention of saving Frederick.What did he mean by that?Walter’s eyes tur

    One of the nurses checked the monitor and yelled out loud, “The patient’s heart rate is dropping. I’m afraid he won’t hold out for much longer.”The Daniels family looked panic-stricken at her announcement.Sean pleaded anxiously with Charles, “Dr. Shaw, please help my grandfather…”Charles shook his head. “I’ve already told you that Mr. Frederick is at the end of his life. Even God wouldn’t be able to save him.”Edward said calmly, “Quit talking nonsense if you’re lacking in medical skills. Just because you can’t save him doesn’t mean others can’t.”Fury burned in Charles’ eyes as he said coldly, “That’s quite a bold claim there, young man.“I’d like to see how you’ll save Mr. Frederick. If you really manage to do that, I’ll call you Master and be your apprentice.”Edward ignored Charles. With a wave of his right hand, the needles that were inserted in Mr. Frederick’s body flew to his fingers.With yet another wave, Edward sent the needles flying in the air, piercing with prec
