Chapter 801
“Given that beggar’s abilities, without someone else’s help, he would never
have this kind of grandour his whole life,” Chloe analyzed calmly and
concluded. “It must be his cousin Emmanuel helping him. If I’m not mistaken,
that Black Card in his hand must belong to Emmanuel’s wife!”
Abellyn suddenly realized. “That’s right; it must be him showing off with
Emmanuel’s wife’s resources! D*mn it; he successfully outshone us this time!”
Resentment filled Abellyn. She had always been looking for an opportunity to
flaunt in Ryder’s face, to make him regret. But never did she imagine being
shown up instead when they finally met.
Now, it seemed that not only wouldn’t Ryder regret it, but he might even end
up marrying a young woman!
“This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! It’s infuriating!”
“Calm down, Abellyn.” Chloe, who knew her sister the best, immediately gave
her some advice. “Ryder has support, but do you not? Your relationship with
that man is definitely closer than his relationship with Emmanuel’s wife,
right?”
“You’re right! I’ll contact him right away!” Abellyn regained her confidence in
an instant.
She had spent almost all of the one million Blake gave her, and what
annoyed her the most was that she hadn’t bought a house or a car yet. But
she knew she could get more money from him than Ryder if she contacted
Blake again.
“Hmph, this isn’t over between us, Ryder Lowe! Let’s see who has the last
laugh!” Abellyn gritted her teeth, her gaze filled with ferocity.
The next morning, Magnus was practicing his golf skills with Gautier at a golf
course on the outskirts of Yeringham.
Looking a little tired, Blake walked over and didn’t disturb the two young men.
Instead, he found a beach chair and lay down for a nap.
“Is that your new personal bodyguard, Mr. Magnus?” asked Gautier as he
handed Magnus a gla*s of wine.
“Yeah, I begged my father for a long time before he agreed to let him follow
me!” Magnus replied as he took the gla*s of wine. “Thank you!”
“Invincible Iron Skin, Indestructible Pillar of Strength! Back then, this masterful
figure swept away the Six Grandmasters of the World and defeated the elite
ninjas of Shoiya with just one move, shocking both countries! I must pay my
respects to such a prominent figure in the martial world!” Gautier said with
admiration, preparing to approach Blake.
In truth, Gautier was envious of Magnus. While the Verkades were wealthy,
and Gautier was known as Yeringham’s youngest and most outstanding CEO,
he didn’t have a bodyguard who could stand out by his side. He always felt
somewhat embarra*sed.
However, skilled experts were hard to come by. Without the fame of the
Zelinsky family of Zovince, it was truly difficult to get top-notch martial
experts.
“I suggest you better not approach him for now, Mr. Gautier,” Magnus advised
leisurely after a swing.
“Why?” Gautier was a little puzzled.
“Haha, that guy isn’t only ugly but also has a terrible temper. I bet you he’s
exhausted and in a bad mood right now, or he wouldn’t be indifferent to the
chicks around,” Magnus analyzed.
Gautier suddenly remembered that this expert called himself “Casanova”
and was very lascivious. And he and Magnus specifically invited four hot
women to accompany them this time, each with excellent figures and looks.
However, this “Casanova” didn’t initiate a flirt with them, which spoke
volumes!
“D*mn it! Magnus, you b*stard, watch your mouth!” Blake, who was about to
take a nap, suddenly sat up and cursed loudly. “What do you mean by ugly
and bad-tempered? Didn’t I tell you that I used to be the number one
handsome man?!”
Gautier was slightly shocked. He hadn’t expected a bodyguard to speak so
disrespectfully to his master.
What surprised him even more was that Magnus didn’t seem to be angry at
all. Instead, he leaned in front of him and chuckled softly, “What did I tell you?
Ugly and bad-tempered, right?”
Chapter 802
Gautier smiled wryly, unsure how to respond. But then he suddenly realized
something.
The young man before him, one of Zovince’s Four Geniuses, indeed
possessed exceptional tolerance. Perhaps this was the right way to seek
talents.
In the past, Gautier had encountered some experts who were arrogant and
condescending. No matter how much he offered, they were unwilling to work
for him.
Seeing this this day, he had an idea of how to attract true talents in the
future.
“D*mn it, how dare you repeat it?! I still haven’t come after you for that last
time!” With one stride, Blake appeared in front of Magnus like a phantom,
grabbing his collar. “You nearly had me personally kill my own son!”
Magnus blinked innocently, smiling. “I didn’t know he was your son. How can
you blame me for your active breeding?”
Livid, Blake let go of Magnus’ collar and pulled at his own hair in frustration.
“Why am I so f*cking level-headed? I’d be able to f*cking beat you up if I’m
not!”
Magnus pushed his gla*ses frame, patted Blake’s shoulder with a smile, and
said, “This is fate. The child’s alive, is he not? You, on the other hand, should be
careful of being spent by that woman!”
Blake immediately tucked away all his expressions and looked astonishingly
at Magnus. “How do you know?”
“How could I not?” Magnus chuckled. “You went out suddenly last night and
only came back this morning. Plus, you’re indifferent to these fresh chicks in
front of you. It’s obvious you had a wild night with that woman, and now
you’re empty inside!”
“Haha, you’re surprisingly accurate about these trivial matters!”
Blake praised Magnus for once and admitted openly, “You’re right. Abellyn
Sheppard, that woman, served me so well last night that I almost died of
pleasure. But when I woke up this morning, she asked me for money again!
She really wants to squeeze me dry!”
“Did you give it to her then?” Magnus asked.
“I did!”
“How much?”
“Seven times!”
At a loss for words, Magnus reiterated, “I mean the money…”
“Oh, for f*ck’s sake, money is just a worldly possession. Why bother asking?
But if you want to reimburse me, I can tell you it’s 3 million!”
“Alright!” Magnus agreed readily, pulling out his phone from his pocket and
transferring 3 million to Blake right away.
Gautier was stunned! He couldn’t believe Magnus had transferred Blake the
money just like that. Good Lord, I have no financial power to support experts
Chapter 802 Blake’s Sex Life
like that!
Blake, too, was astonished and asked, “Why are you so eager to help me pick
up girls this time, Magnus? I feel like you have ulterior motives!”
“You think I have ulterior motives even when I give you money? Give it back to
me then!” Magnus laughed.
“No way!” Blake quickly turned around, protecting his phone, afraid Magnus
would snatch the money back.
Of course, Magnus couldn’t do that. He simply patted Blake’s shoulder again
and said with an ambiguous smile. “You’re considered relatives of Emmanuel
Lowe. Then again, you better not hesitate when you need to take action!”
“Relatives, my *ss!”
Blake grinned, showing his yellow teeth. “His cousin and my son have no
blood relations at all, making Lowe and I complete strangers.”
“That’s good!” Magnus turned serious. “Well, you better tame Abellyn
Sheppard well. I think she will be useful one day.”
Chapter 803
The next day, as the day began to dawn, Ryder was already waiting at the
entrance of Yociam Residence.
After a while, the gate opened, and a Maserati drove out.
“Ryder?” Emmanuel was somewhat stunned to see the guy standing at the
entrance with his hands crossed inside his sleeves, shivering in the early
spring morning.
Mackenzie furrowed her brows in the front pa*senger seat slightly as well. It
looks like this honest guy has been waiting here before six in the morning.
Does he have something important?
“What’s the matter, Ryder?” Emmanuel stopped the car and quickly got out.
“Hehe, it’s nothing important. I just came to return this card to you!” Ryder
quickly jogged over and handed the Black Card to Emmanuel.
Both Emmanuel and Mackenzie in the car were stunned. They couldn’t
believe the guy braved the spring chill just to return the card!
Sling Guilty About Using the Card
2/5
“Ryder, no one asked you to return it, did they? Mackenzie gave you this card
to use!”
“I can’t use it, I really can’t!” Ryder waved his hands repeatedly, looking
somewhat flustered. “I… I can’t possibly keep using this card. I used it once
yesterday, and it’s already good enough for me!”
An honest person was indeed honest. He had used this card the day before
to make a 620 thousand purchase without payment. It was the most glorious.
moment of his life! After all, his house probably wouldn’t even sell for 620
thousand. So, how could he dare to use it a second time?!
“In that case, how’s your relationship with Tia now?”
Seeing that Ryder didn’t dare to use it anymore, Emmanuel felt helpless and
could only take the card back.
“Hehe, thanks to this card, Ms. Marianne was very pleased with me last night
and agreed to let me continue pursuing Tia! Thank you so much, both you
and Ms. Quillen!” Ryder couldn’t hide his excitement.
Last night, he was so excited that he couldn’t sleep a wink the whole night. He
could never have dreamed that someone like him could have successive
moments of glory.
He was well aware that all of this was because of his cousin and Mackenzie,
so he came early in the morning to return the card and express his gratitude.
“That’s good to hear, Ryder. No need to be polite. Come on, you’re my cousin.
You took such good care of me when we were kids!” Emmanuel patted
Ryder’s shoulder and encouraged him, “Since you don’t want to use this card,
then do your best. Tia’s a good girl; make sure you don’t miss out!”
“Yeah, I know! I will also visit your mom with Tommy more often!” Ryder
nodded, then glanced at Mackenzie in the Maserati. He nodded repeatedly
and made a slight bow before saying to Emmanuel, “You should quickly take
Ms. Quillen to the company. Her time is precious!”
Emmanuel also nodded, gave Ryder a thumbs-up as encouragement, and
then got back into the car.
“Ryder returned this to you.”
”
“Why won’t he continue using it?” Mackenzie took the card, equally puzzled as
Emmanuel.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely continue to use it extensively
since they wouldn’t have to spend their own money. But this honest man was
different; he used it once and came to return it voluntarily.
“Ryder has been frugal since he was little. He used your card for a substantial
amount yesterday and probably feels uneasy about it.”
Emmanuel said. He understood Ryder the best. That guy was even more
honest than him, and he would feel guilty about a debt he couldn’t repay.
“You Lowes really are idiots,” Mackenzie whined with a pout.
Emmanuel forced a smile, realizing he had unwittingly set himself up again.
As they chatted, Mackenzie’s phone suddenly rang..
“Hey, Grandpa!”
“Mackenzie, how did you spend at Kellen’s last night?”
bout using the
5/5
Every time there was a transaction with the Black Card, information would be
sent to Terence’s phone number.
Mackenzie knew her grandfather usually wouldn’t bother with these small
expenses, but lately, there were serious financial issues within the Terence
Group, so he was scrutinizing everything, including the family’s expenditures.
“Yeah, I had dinner with a friend.” Mackenzie kept it short.
Terence sighed. “Mackenzie, I’m sorry to trouble you during this period. Please
refrain from frequenting luxury places for now. Wait until we’ve overcome this
difficult situation.”
“I understand, Grandpa.”
Chapter 804
After Mackenzie hung up the phone, the atmosphere in the car became
heavy.
Through that simple phone call, Emmanuel realized that Terence Group was
facing even more difficulties than he had imagined.
“Mackenzie, if your company needs working capital, maybe I can help a little!”
At this point, Emmanuel thought he couldn’t just leave his over 5 billion in his
pocket anymore. He had to take it out and help his wife.
Taken aback, Mackenzie gazed strangely at him. “You?”
“Yeah, I know some quite wealthy friends. If you need funding, I can maybe try
getting a loan,” Emmanuel said casually.
He still couldn’t reveal his identity as the Wolf Warrior to his wife.
“Don’t underestimate me. I can handle the company’s affairs myself!”
Mackenzie ultimately didn’t want Emmanuel’s help and believed that he
couldn’t help much either.
Even she was finding it difficult to borrow a large sum of money now, let
alone Emmanuel, who was unemployed..
Emmanuel didn’t say anything more. He knew that Mackenzie didn’t think
highly of his financial capability. After dropping his wife off at Terence Group,
he immediately thought about arranging a meeting with Eve.
Unexpectedly, Eve, who had usually been easy to contact, was unreachable.
With no other choice, Emmanuel took the time to check on Snake Master’s
recovery at the inn.
Finally, Eve called him back at noon.
“Sorry, Sir, Wolf Warrior Society is facing some trouble. I haven’t had time to
check my phone!”
“What happened? Is it serious?”
“It’s quite bad. Someone in Yeringham is backing a new force that’s opposing
the Wolf Warrior Society at every turn. They seem to have ambitions of
replacing us!”
“I’ll take a look. By the way, I also have something to discuss with you!”
“Okay!”
Eve hung up the phone in a hurry, clearly indicating that she was swamped.
“Snake Master, are you alright now?” Emmanuel turned to Snake Master after
hanging up the phone.
“I can still kill.” Snake Master’s voice was deep and carried a hint of
hoarseness, sounding truly terrifying.
His tone confirmed that he had returned to normal and transformed back
into the terrifying “snake!”
“In that case, disguise yourself a bit and come with me,” instructed
Emmanuel, wasting no time, and immediately left the inn.
With a hat and a mask, Snake Master followed him. His appearance wasn’t
only ugly but also terrifying. Emmanuel was worried that taking him out
openly might scare regular folks.
“Where is your sister?” Emmanuel asked after getting in the car and asking
Snake Master to drive.
“She went back to the organization!”
“Oh, she can do that?”
“Why not? I’m the one who betrayed the organization, not her!”
“Right, got it.” Emmanuel nodded but remained skeptical.
He had always taken Snake Master’s and his sister’s words with a grain of
salt. Now that his sister suddenly disappeared, he wondered if she could be
related to that Saintess. In fact, he suspected her to be the so-called
Saintess.
Then again, Emmanuel kept the button that determined Snake Master’s life in
his hand, so he wasn’t afraid of whatever tricks they might be playing. He
would temporarily believe whatever they said.
Soon, Emmanuel arrived at Waterspring Club.
“Oh my, you’ve come, Mr. Lowe!” The beautiful hostesses, including Nina, still
wore split dresses that revealed their fair thighs as they stood at the
entrance.
As soon as they saw Emmanuel, they fluttered over like birds, seemingly
forgetting his aversion to women. However, when they caught sight of Snake
Master’s eyes, they shivered and dared not approach.
Emmanuel chuckled inwardly and walked in. He hadn’t expected that Snake
Master would have such an effect.
”
Chapter 805
“What kind of monster is that man behind Mr. Lowe?”
“Yeah, his eyes are so scary, like snake eyes!”
“Look at his tall, straight figure wearing a long robe, walking like a big snake.
Just looking at him gives me goosebumps…”
Nina and other hostesses continued gossiping after Emmanuel and Snake
Master entered.
Emmanuel paid no attention to those women. After entering the
establishment, Christopher came to greet him along with the members of
the Wolf Warrior Society and led him to a spacious room on the first floor.
The room was extremely spacious, comparable to an indoor basketball court.
Inside, not only was Eve present, but also several skilled members of the Wolf
Warrior Society, many of whom were injured.
“Sir, you’re here!”
“What exactly happened?” Emmanuel asked with a frown. It seemed that
some of the Wolf Warrior Society members had clearly engaged in a fierce
battle.
“Hmph, a group called Hellfire Club has emerged in Yeringham recently.
They’ve been clashing with our brothers and even resorted to violence!”
Christopher summarized the situation on behalf of his sister.
Yeringham wasn’t small, but it wasn’t vast either. The sudden appearance of
a rival faction wasn’t that unusual. After all, money talked, and it was
relatively easy as long as someone had the funds to recruit a group of
people to work for them quickly.
That said, Emmanuel was quite familiar with the Wolf Warrior Society. Among
them were skillful members, and Eve trained them using the military system
of the Wolf Warriors. A ragtag group wouldn’t be their opponents. The fact
that many Wolf Warrior Society members were injured suggested that the
opposition wasn’t a mere group of amateurs.
“Sir, the leader of the opposition will come to negotiate later. By then, we can
find out who they really are!”
Eve also speculated that the opposing group might not have come solely for
the Wolf Warrior Society. In this day and age, territorial disputes were no
longer in vogue, as most operated within the bounds of the law. Eve
established the Wolf Warrior Society not to be domineering but to
accumulate strength for a specific purpose.
Emmanuel nodded.
He wasn’t particularly interested in the power struggles between these gray
factions. However, due to his strong bond with the Thompson siblings, Eve’s
matters were his matters as well. Furthermore, he suspected that the Hellfire
Club might be connected to either the Holy Fire Organization or Magnus or
perhaps even coming after him personally.
Seizing the opportunity, Emmanuel walked over to some of the injured
members with bandages. With a click, he skillfully relocated a dislocated joint
for one of the injured.
“Woah, my hand can move instantly!” the guy gushed excitedly, looking at
Emmanuel in astonishment.
Emmanuel didn’t pay it any mind and proceeded to help several more
brothers with their external injuries.
His methods were truly astonishing. Those fractures, dislocations, and even
internal injuries were significantly alleviated after his treatment, and the pain
almost disappeared.
“Wow, Mr. Lowe is amazing!”
The members of the Wolf Warrior Society looked at Emmanuel with increased
admiration.
Eve smiled silently. These people had yet to witness the full extent of
Emmanuel’s abilities during his prime. What he displayed now was far
beyond what he showcased during his peak.
Sure enough, not long after, a middle-aged man and a dozen or so
companions barged in arrogantly.
“Ah! You scoundrel!”
“Don’t touch me, you jack*ss!”
Outside the door, the curses of Nina and the other hostesses could be heard
continuously. These men barged in and actually brazenly groped them, even
lifting their dresses to peek underneath.
Animals!
“Those f*cking b*stards! How dare they cause trouble on our turf?! Let’s get
rid of them!”
