Female Novel
Chapter 662
"Skyler Celestino?"
"One hundred and seventy-eight billion bucks?"
The crowd present at the scene was completely dumbfounded. Terror streaked through the space.
These two pieces of information were overly shocking.
"Are you sure you heard it right? Skyler Celestino? Doesn’t this name belong to Skyler, the King of
War? That's the eightstar King of War!"
The elder was paralyzed to the spot, the terrifying surprise holding him in a tightening grip. He only
managed to regain his words after a few minutes.
"There's only one King of War with the name Skyler Celestino!
The middle-aged woman had a blank look i n her eyes as though she was dwelling in a haze of
confusion, yet to recover from the news.
"If it really was Skyler Celestino, the King o f War, why did he give Fane so much money? More than a
hundred seventy billion bucks! Are you sure you heard the number correctly? Why did he give that b*
stard so much money?”
The sudden shock caused Hector's muscles to tense up. Only prominent families could produce that
amount of money after they had sold all their properties.
Nobody at the scene could understand why a King of War-an eight-star King of War-would give so
much money to an adopted son-in-law.
The elder suddenly thought of something and immediately rushed into the house. He took a poster and
ran out again. He breathed out heavily, "Master Hector, look! Look at the poster! That brat promised to
make his wife’s birthday the grandest event that would shake the entire Middle province. Could he have
borrowed money from the King of War so that he could host the greatest birthday party for his wife?"
Thoughts were running wild inside the elder's brain. This was the only possibility that he could think of.
Other than this, no other suppositions could explain this situation anymore.
Nonetheless, after hearing the words that h e had spewed, he started to doubt his own assumption. If
that was really the case, 170 billion bucks was too much, was it not?
"Hmmm, spending a hundred million is enough to hold the grandest birthday party in Middle Province,
right? A hundred and seventy billion bucks, how's that possible? Besides, a King of War wouldn’t have
lent out such a huge amount of money, right? And I truly doubt that a King of War who had just returned
from the army would be able to fork out that much money in the first place, right?”novelbin
After giving some thought to the shocking news, Hector finally said to the middle-aged woman, "Hawa,
you must’ve heard it wrong. Yup. You heard it wrongly.”
“Did I? But I thought that's what the other person on the phone said!"
"Oh! Now I see it!"
Suddenly, the elder clapped his hands together after realizing something. “Damn!
I think we've been fooled by that brat!"
"Huh? What do you mean?”
Everyone at the scene turned their attention towards the elder, scratching their heads, not knowing
why.
“That brat must’ve made someone else make that call on purpose and pretended that Skyler Celestino
was the caller! All the contents in that call must’ve been staged and rehearsed!”
The elder's mood lifted and his eyes were full of wisdom. “He did it because he was afraid of offending
the great power behind us-the Kingston Hall. This shows that he's afraid of Kingston Hall and that he
doesn’t want to create trouble. Therefore, he pretends to be close with Skyler Celestino, the King of
War. However, the biggest mistake that he made was the amount of money. That sum of money is so
unrealistic that it exposed his sneaky plan!"
