I'm A Quadrillionaire novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168
Charles was the successor Old Master Luther designated. Although others were a little unconvinced, they had no say in the matter. Old Master Luther called the shots in the Luther family.
No one dared to oppose whatever he said. Even if you were unconvinced, you could only bury it in your heart.
David followed Charles and his sister into the main hall.
There was a wrinkled, elderly man sitting on a couch with a steaming pot of tea on the coffee table in front of him. Behind him stood four middle-aged men, two of whom had been seriously injured by Zachary’s bodyguard, Mac, at Fuller Golden Sands.
“Grandpa!”
“Grandpa!”
Charles and his sister cried out as they each sat on the right and left of the old man.
The old man nodded with a smile and looked at David.
“Hello, Old Master Luther!” David greeted him politely.
Rupert said nothing but sized up David carefully.
It took about a minute or two before Rupert said, “Good! Good! No wonder you could defeat Zachary. You’re young and capable!”
“Old Master Luther, you flatter me. You’re making me blush!” David said modestly.
“Dave, you don’t have to be so modest. Zachary’s already a big name in the younger generation, and he has the Quinn family supporting him. Not just anyone can kick him out of River City in such an embarrassing state.”
“I was just lucky!”
“Luck’s also a form of strength. Hurry and have a seat, Dave. Give the tea a try!”
Rupert asked David to sit down before slowly getting up to grab the porcelain teapot and pour David a cup of tea.
David picked up the teacup and took a sip, still feeling no different from the last time he had a drink with Bill, the core member of SCC.
He had no idea why all these big shots liked tea!
He was not interested in tea at all.
It was just tea! In his opinion, it was only to quench his thirst, and he had no interest in tasting it!
However, since they were so earnest, he had to pretend!
“Yes!” David answered in one word.
Rupert could see that David was being perfunctory but said nothing. Everyone had their own way of life. Since he did not like tea, he would not force it onto him.
It was just like casting pearls before swine to discuss tea with someone who knew nothing about it.
“Dave, first of all, I invited you here today to thank you. I don’t know if Charlie and Sandy would be sitting here without you. Secondly, I wanted to meet you,” said Rupert.
“Old Master Luther, don’t mention it. Charles and I are both members of SCC and good friends. Charles has always helped me too, so it’s only right for me to do so.”
Sandy got a little impatient watching the two of them being so polite. She suddenly interjected, “Grandpa, Dave! Would you please not be so polite? We might all be a family one day!”
The three people froze as soon as she said that!
Charles and Rupert both looked at Sandy with puzzled eyes.
Sandy realized it sounded wrong and wanted to explain, but she did not know what to say.
She could only blush and say, “I’m going back to my room to do my homework. You can take your time talking!”
Then, she got up and left.
