Chapter 210
With that, the bigwigs waved each other goodbye and left Marley Hotel in their respective limousines. In the blink of an eye, only Stanley, Andrew, Jeffred, Paige, and the Wynns—who crumbled to the ground—were left in the spacious banquet hall.
Seeing how desolation now ruled the banquet hall’s initially lively atmosphere, Stanley got so exasperated that he simply wished he could kill the Wynns. He glared daggers at Elijah, saying, “I invited you guys here to meet Ares with the best of intentions, and you guys had to ruin my dinner!”
At this moment, the Wynns were already reduced to despair. With those bigwigs teaming up to punish Clark Corporation, the company would surely be toast overnight, and the Wynns would be reduced from a second-class family to an average well-to-do family. No, perhaps we won’t even make it as a well-to-do family! They were so overwhelmed with regret that Stanley’s casual word of reproach could no longer stir their emotions in the slightest.
Clarence let out a sigh before asking Henry, “Dad, what should we do about this…”
“What should we do…” Henry coughed heavily for a moment. Then, he said weakly, “What else can we do? Those people aren’t gonna let off our family unless we can get Ares to forgive us!”
When Alex heard this, his eyes lit up at once. He suggested in a quavering voice, “Grandpa, Dad, let’s find Ares and do everything possible to ask for his forgiveness… Perhaps Clark Corporation can still be saved!”
“That’s a good idea…” Clarence let out a sigh. “But how are we gonna find him? How can we find such a big gun easily?”
“Just pull a few strings and check the surveillance footage!” Alex pointed at the surveillance camera outside the window. “This is the downtown area, where every nook and cranny is under surveillance! As long as we carefully check the surveillance footage starting from the moment Ares left the parking lot, we’ll surely find him!”
Upon listening to their conversation, Paige suddenly hit upon a strange idea. Could that lunatic old man really be Ares? She recalled what Kingsley had said to the old man:
“Don’t worry, the entire Wynn Family will apologize to you!”
Wasn’t the situation right now developing in the way he had described? She had a flash of inspiration. Don’t tell me… Kingsley is the real Ares?
As soon as the idea crossed her mind, she immediately shook her head. How can Kingsley possibly be Ares, the God of War? He was Serena’s younger brother at the orphanage. And besides, he’s only about four years my senior? How could he possibly be able to make numerous great achievements in battle?
Just as her thoughts were in a whirl, the Wynns had made their resolution; they helped each other up and were about to leave.
“Wait a minute!” Paige suddenly recalled that she hadn’t passed on the last sentence in the text message sent to her by Lev. She said to a despondent Andrew standing nearby, “Young Master Andrew, the order I just received contains a quote that’s directed toward you by Ares.”
Stanley and Andrew’s eyes widened simultaneously when they heard this. “What?!”
Trembling all over with excitement, Andrew asked, “W-What did he say…”
Stressing each word, Paige said, “Ares wants to say that he intended to tell you Boris Oakley’s whereabouts tonight. Unfortunately, however, Alex kept him from doing that.” Then, she turned around with a wave of her hand. “Alright, now that my mission today is over, just deal with the rest by yourselves.”
“Uh… I gotta go, too…” Seeing how Andrew’s eyes were flashing fire, Jeffred gave a shiver. “President Kean, let’s keep in touch…” Before his voice could fade, he had run out of the banquet hall in a flash.
Crack… Andrew cracked his knuckles while staring hard at Alex with bloodshot eyes. If looks could kill, the latter might have been cut to pieces by this moment. Andrew’s lifetime career was tied to this time’s academic forum, and he had never had a good night’s sleep for almost a month in order to search for Boris. However, Alex angered Ares, the God of War. Not only did the Kean Family lose the opportunity to enjoy a meteoric rise, but his career and his life were both ruined as a result!
At this moment, Andrew was so overwhelmed with hatred that he wished he could eat Alex alive.
Seeing how Andrew looked like he wanted to eat him alive, Alex took two steps back in fright. He asked in fear, “Y-Young Master Andrew, what are you doing…”
“What am I doing?!” Andrew sneered. Then, taking a deep breath, he yelled, “Guys, cripple him!”
