Female NovelChad let out a sigh. "Just sit down and keep your mouth shut." He did not want his son to be humiliated any further.
Wallace was indignant but said nothing else as he sat down near his father with Wilbur and Wendy.
Just then, Chad said to the elder, "Sorry, Elder Yale. My son's still a kid. Please don't take it to heart." The elder was none other than Yohan Yale, one of the top dogs of the underground circle in Taya City back then.novelbin
Yohan smiled. "That's alright. He's a kid, after all." Wallace was in his twenties, and it was true that he was a kid to these older men.
Chad sighed to himself. He had built his mining business from nothing and knew that tonight was going to be quite an ordeal. That was why he had stopped his son from coming back.
Yet Wallace refused to listen to him and even showed up all the way here. What was he going to do if something happened? As for the so-called expert that Wallace had brought back, Chad hardly even wanted to think about him.
This son of his had never been the most well-educated and had been scammed countless times. This twas probably another scam he fell for.
Chad did not have the tto get back at his son for that now.
Just then, Colin spoke up. "Elder Yale, it's past the tthe Weiss clan set. Aren't these Weisses a bit too much?" "It's only been a little over ten minutes. What's the rush? It's perfectly normal for delays to happen. We'll just wait," Yohan said.
Colin sneered but said nothing else. Yet Toshi said, "Mister Lester, are you doubting us? Why'd you get this guy here after you hired us?" "No, of course not!" Chad hurried to explain. "My son doesn't know what he's doing, | don't even know where he found this guy! He's probably just sscammer. God knows how many times my son's been tricked." Toshi glared at Wilbur and scoffed, saying nothing.
Colin chuckled. "That's true, it's not like money's a problem for you. This son of yours is quite an idiot though, isn't he? He seems to believe just about anyone." Yohan laughed as well, shaking his head.
"What the hell are you saying? Mister Penn knows what he's doing, he can crush stones and even control lightning!" Wallace shouted.
His words made everyone laugh. Yohan said, "You're still far too young, Wallace. Scammers these days will tell you anything, but | can see right through them. Just look at him! Skinny and lanky without the slightest hint of an aura. | reckon he just showed you sparlor tricks and you fell right for it." "Listen to your elders, will you?" Colin smirked. "It's going to take more than just sgimmicks here." Wilbur said, "Guys, there's no point saying all this. We'll see just what everyone is capable of later." "Ha, listen to him! Try not to wet yourself later, yeah?" Colin said, unimpressed.
Toshi was growing impatient and said, "Forget about him. Mister Lester, please tell this scammer to leave. He has no right to be sitting here with us." Chad had no choice but to look at Wallace. "Wallace, tell your friend to go. I'll pay him whatever you promised." "Dad, I'm telling you he's really powerful. You've got to believe me," Wallace protested.
His retaliation made Chad flare up in anger at once, getting to his feet and pointing at Wallace. "You just know how to play all the time! What do you even know aside from spending my money? How am | supposed to pass the family business to you like this?"
