Chapter 399
The onlookers were surprised to see the wad of cash in the briefcase. Gabriel stared at the money, but his expression was flat. He didn't seem interested at all."What's going on here? Why is that man offering Gabriel that much money?""If I were Gabriel, I would take that money.""I saw Gabriel working as a waiter in a restaurant yesterday; now's his best chance to get such easy cash from that man."Whispers spread through the air, but their remarks were nothing for Gabriel. To him, their whispers were nothing more than background noise.The amazed reaction from the onlookers boosted Mr. Reid ego. With a confident smile plastered on Mr. Reid's lips, he declared. "Gabriel Bruhn, I offer you all this money. But in return, I need you to do something for me."Gabriel furrowed his brows and fixed Mr. Reid with a sharp gaze. "What do you want?" he retorted firmly.A sly smile on Mr. Reid's face. A faint smile on his face vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "I know that you might ha

Mr. Reid stared at his son with wide eyes, silent for a moment, recalling what his bodyguards had said about Gabriel. Within seconds, he shook his head, dismissing his son's suspicions.“No way, son. I do believe that he is not the mysterious figure of The Dragon Lord Group,” he concluded.Dominick's frown deepened, a suspicious expression etched on his face. “But why don't you believe it? It could really be him, Dad,” he insisted.Continuing to dismiss his son's opinion, Mr. Reid asserted. “No, no. That man is not the mysterious, highest figure in The Dragon Lord Group, but he might be someone who has ever been connected to that company, so they are willing to help him.”Dominick, in turn, dismissed his father's opinion. “Dad, don't be ridiculous. A giant, wealthy company like The Dragon Lord Group wouldn't cancel a partnership with our company just for the sake of their former employee. It doesn't make any sense.”Mr. Reid was pensive, considering something. His son's words began to

Dominick furrowed his brows, wondering what had just happened. “Dad, what’s going on? Who just called?”Mr. Reid rubbed his face roughly, still unable to believe what he had just heard. He repeatedly checked Richard’s number, making sure it was really the Ashton family butler’s.While checking, Mr. Reid was lowkey wishing it wasn’t the real Richard Dutton. He hoped it was all just a nightmare and he would wake up, but it was all reality.Getting no answer from his father, Dominick rose from his seat and walked over to him.“Dad! What’s going on here? Why are you keeping silent?” he exclaimed. His tone sounded impatient.“Son, we’re in big trouble! It’s unbelievable!” Mr. Reid replied, his words dripping with frustration. He was still in deep shock, feeling unable to speak in a calm tone.“What happened, Dad? Please, tell me!” he insisted.With a limp body, Mr. Reid sat back in his chair, sadness etched across his face.“The butler of the Ashton family, a representative of The Dragon L

Richard shook his head. He genuinely had no idea why Mr. Reid sent men to attack Gabriel, since Gabriel himself hadn't told him the reason for this attack.Gabriel's relationship with Fiona was still in its early stages, so he hadn't let his family know about this. He might be considering telling his family, but not now."I don't know why he attacked my young master, nor did the young master himself tell me about this," Richard explained.Herbert's anger grew, but his face looked worried, concerned about his son."How is Gabriel now? Is he okay?"Richard reassured his master, speaking in a steady, calm voice."He said he's okay, Master. Johan has also protected the young master well."A sigh of relief escaped Herbert's chest. His face remained stern, a surge of anger washing over him. He was glad that his son hadn't been hurt by this attack. If his son had been injured, he would surely have taken revenge on Mr. Reid by sending men to attack him back.In a firm and authoritative tone,

“You morons! Idiots! You two can’t even beat those boys!” Mr. Reid yelled as he glared at the two men, his eyes filled with disappointment.“You won’t receive any salary for your disappointing work!” Mr. Reid asserted.Dominick folded his arms across his stomach as he suggested. “We better fire these two useless people. I don’t want to see them here again!”The two men mustered the courage to raise their gazes, staring at Dominick as they clasped their palms, pleading.“Please, Master, give us another chance. We deeply apologize for not delivering the result you expected.”“I know you might want to kill me because I keep making excuses, but to be honest, that young man isn’t the same as what you think. He’s very strong. Master, didn’t you hear that he defeated Dave The Devil before?” The man spoke with a worried expression, afraid that another slap from his master would land on his cheek.Mr. Reid sighed heavily as he wiped his face roughly.“Since you two have been loyal to me for ye

Showing no interest in the offer, Gabriel spoke in a flat voice.“What’s your offer?”Mr. Reid’s lips curled into a smile, and he took a deep breath before speaking.“I’ll give you 5 million dollars, so after this deal, you won’t be a broke university student anymore. But in return for the money, you have to stay away from Pevita. I don’t want you near her again!” Mr. Reid ordered.Gabriel chuckled, his laughter mocking Mr. Reid’s offer.Mr. Reid’s brow furrowed, feeling insulted by his response. “Why are you laughing?”Gabriel shook his head, then spoke in a firm tone.“I won’t do that! I might just be a university student, but Pevita is very dear to me. She’s far more precious than anything, so I won’t trade her for anything! I don’t need your money, Mr. Reid.” His words dripped with condescension.Mr. Reid’s eyes darkened as his fist clenched tightly. Gabriel's response pissed him off. He didn't expect Gabriel to reject his offer. Undeterred, he tried to raise his offer."What if I
