“Pfft!”
Laughter erupted in the room before he even finished.
He had just taken forever to unwrap a tiny bead the size of a bean and even claimed it was worth 80 million. How dare he?
The price was astronomical. It far exceeded Kendall’s 50-million-dollar ancient carriage statue. No one believed him.
If he had said it was worth a thousand, maybe they would have believed him.
“Is this guy a complete fool? He must be here as comic relief.”
“No doubt about it. He’s just here to liven up the banquet.”
The entire room was mocking him.
Even the Yeager family members and Kendall were stunned.
They could not believe it. A bean-sized bead?
This was beyond absurd.
“I overestimated him,” said Kendall and sneered.
This fool could not even muster the dignity to make himself look good. How could anyone compare him to Kendall? They were not even in the same league.
“Idiot! As expected, he’s completely embarrassed himself,” said Damien and cursed silently.
The Yeager family elders looked furious.
They were clearly holding back their anger for the sake of appearances.
Even Patricia looked dumbfounded.
They had discussed using some antiques bought from a curio shop as gifts.
“Dustin, is this tiny bean really your gift?” Zack asked through gritted teeth.
“It’s not a bean. It’s a bead that is worth 80 million,” Dustin said.
“He says it so seriously…” The laughter only grew louder.
Taking a tiny bead and claiming it was an 80-million-dollar treasure was simply hilarious. This was something only the foolish son-in-law of the Yeager family could pull off.
No bead worth 80 million would be this small.
There was not even a hint of luster on the bead. Even marbles that children played with looked better.
“Enough!” Zack roared. His voice cut through the laughter.
“Take your bead and get out of the Yeager family! Never show your face here again!”
His fury silenced the crowd, though some still chuckled quietly.
Kendall and Damien both shook their heads. Dustin had humiliated himself thoroughly without anyone’s help.
“This is a priceless treasure. You just don’t recognize it.” Dustin stood firm.

Does novel ended already? No new episode came this month...
Is the story not coming in again. It's been days now and no new chapter...
Nice one...
Shitty ending but considering overall I give the book .05 out of 5 stars. You used the same plot to many times, too many translation errors, even at the end you screwed around with the font and color because who knows why, the title had nothing to do with the story do I need to continue...
Just move to the enemy and let the snipers kill him for you Dustin. Use him as your shield easy peasy Mac n cheesey....
Tell hell hall said get his ass out here now or I will kill everyone here you have 10 seconds to do what I said. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 to late...
Why does Dustin still think he owes his adoptive dad a debt? Sure he saved his life and help raise, taught martial arts etc... till his death but Dustin stayed on and put his life at risk and invested his time and money into his 5 daughters up until they came across their biological brother and kicked him out. Treat him like a thieving dog and have attempted numerous times to kill him. He finally showed some common sense by imprisoning the 1 sister and killing her cousin yet he lets the others slide. With his status and power I would have already killed them off or at the very least taken them and imprisoned them like the 1 and tortured the mom into spilling everything she knows and getting my rightful inheritance, but the author has to drag it out....
He said to mutilate the body and burn it why not start with beheading it and taking it back to show the city and place it as an offering to his family? That's what a great MC would have done....
Lame you change the name of the characters and use the same ole trope how many time are you going to use it? First it was the Langley sisters, then the McCall girl I believe this is the second or third time with Shawna. You need new material author...
Oh my not the weak who the MC showed mercy by not killing him because of some honor bound duty to a dead guy makes a comeback and forces the MC into a corner before the mc finally kills him arc 🤣...
