Chapter 728 The Bet Part 6
After that, he turned to Alan again and choked out, Mr. Alan, can I leave after the New Year? Otherwise, I’ll have to travel all the way back to Neon City for the holiday once I get to Plus City.Alan let out a laugh and asked him, Jess, you’re still hoping to come back for the New Year?Jess looked utterly confused. My sister will be heading back then too. I can’t stay there all by myself, can I?Alan stated firmly, Once you arrive in Plus City, you are restricted to the city’s administrative boundaries only. I’ll have someone fit a tracker around your ankle. If you step outside Plus City at all, I’ll send men to bring you back. I won’t beat or shout at you when you’re caught, but every time you’re recaptured, I’ll add an extra year to your service term. If you run away too many times, you’ll be stuck in Plus City for the rest of your life!Jess flinched and hastily replied, Rest assured, Mr. Alan. Once I arrive, I won’t stray an inch outside Plus City.Then he begged Alan once more,
Chapter 727 The Bet Part 5
Now that Jess was begging her to intercede with Alan, Caroline truly did not know what to do.Seeing this, Rebecca rushed over to Caroline, bursting into tears and dropping to her knees with a wail. Caroline, do your aunt a favor and beg Mr. Alan nicely. If he shows mercy and spares your cousin this once, I’ll kneel before you!Caroline hurried to hold her up, yet Rebecca insisted on sinking to her knees, leaving the two locked in a stalemate.Unable to bear seeing her aunt kowtow to her, Caroline quickly turned to Alan, her face filled with remorse and pleading. Alan, please, for my sake, let my cousin off the hook just this once.Alan hesitated for a moment and said to her, Let’s step aside and talk privately.Caroline nodded hastily and followed him to a quiet spot, staring at him anxiously, terrified that he might be upset with her.Alan looked at her and asked, Back in Plus City, a pair of brothers tried to assassinate you. Was Jess behind that?Caroline waved her hands quickly.
Chapter 726 The Bet Part 4
Even though he seethed with endless resentment toward Alan deep down, he dared not act out against him at this moment. He could only choke back tears and speak to Alan, Mr. Alan, I’m so sorry. I had no right to insult you. I beg for your forgiveness.Alan waved his hand dismissively. It’s nothing serious. I didn’t take your words to heart at all.A wave of relief washed over Jess. He had not expected Alan to be so magnanimous. He quickly clasped his fists in a gesture of gratitude toward Alan. Thank you, Mr. Alan!Alan swept a hand through the air. No need for formal thanks. I’ll let your earlier insults slide, but the bet we made still stands and has to be honored.What?!The moment Jess heard Alan insist on carrying out their wager, his spirits plummeted to rock bottom.He had firmly believed Alan’s folding fan was a counterfeit bought from some vendor, never the authentic treasure from Chairman Omba’s collection.A fake could never fetch a high price, no matter how fine the imitati
Chapter 725 The Bet Part 3
If Langston also grew hostile toward Alan, Alan would be doomed for certain this time!Not only would he force Alan to swallow the fan, he would make him kneel down and call him grandpa too.He pointed straight at Alan and blurted out, Mr. Langston, this is the fool right here!Langston’s attention had been fixed entirely on Caroline just now, surrounded by the fawning Mellon family members, so he had not spotted Alan standing a short distance away at all.He followed Jess’s pointing finger to look at Alan, and instantly got the fright of his life.Alan?! What is he doing here?The thought sent a chill down his spine—Alan had effortlessly crippled a War God and a Realm Lord, and even left four male members of his own family infertile.Yet far more terrifying than Alan’s unfathomable strength was his true identity.Back in the Austin Group conference room, Alan had revealed who he really was: the young master of the Smith Family, son of Neon City’s legendary figure John.On top of that
Chapter 724 The Bet Part 2
Pah! Jess curled his lip in contempt. Even as the young heir of the Dewinser Family, I don’t hold enough standing to contact Chairman Omba directly. You’re just running your mouth boldly because you know I can’t verify the fan’s authenticity with him, aren’t you?Alan offered a noncommittal smile. Empty bickering solves nothing. We ought to bring in a certified, authoritative expert to appraise it.There’s no need, Jess sneered. I’ll have you know I specially invited Langston, the eldest young master of the Austin Family, to the banquet today. If this fan is genuine, it belongs to Young Master Langston’s uncle. We can get the full truth straight from him the second he arrives!Alan let out a laugh upon hearing this. Very well. If you insist on waiting for the Austin heir, we’ll wait for him.Jess was thrown off to see Alan utterly unafraid, not a flicker of guilt crossing his face. He grew deeply confused.If their positions were reversed—if he’d brought a counterfeit and pretended it
Chapter 723 The Bet Part 1
Caroline was startled and blurted out, Cousin, what’s the meaning of this? Alan is our guest—how can you speak to him like that?Jess ground his teeth and snapped, Do you know why I had to undergo surgery?Caroline replied without hesitation, Mom told me you swallowed a necklace.That’s right! Jess seethed with rage. And who’s to blame for me swallowing it? This bastard right here!Alan let out a scoff. Young Master Jess, speak reasonably and act honorably. Did I force that necklace down your throat? Did I pry your mouth open and shove it into your stomach?Jess fell silent.What could he say?Alan’s words held truth. Alan had not physically forced him to swallow the necklace. Jess had lost their bet, lost face, and swallowed it of his own bitter resolve.Yet deep down, he still blamed Alan for everything.Fuming, Jess shouted sharply, Alan, don’t split hairs with me! I’m settling this score with you once and for all!Ignoring his outburst, Alan turned to the elderly matriarch and hel
