At the front of the Zachary family’s mansion, it was extremely lively today. All the powerful figures in Jonesville had arrived, with all kinds of luxury cars parked outside.
It was Josiah Zachary’s 80th birthday, and the guy was also a legendary figure. He was a Third-ranked Warrior with many industries under his name. In addition to Herman Corp, virtual-novel.net also managed more than ten entertainment venues, and his connections were extremely wide.
In Jonesville, the Zacharies could be considered a top-no tch wealthy family.
“Dawn’s Real Estate has presented a pair of white jade and emerald!”
“Integrity Antique has presented a string of rare prayer beads!”
“Charles’ Pawnshop had presented a pair of diamonds!”
At the door, the steward was continuously announcing the gifts from each household in a loud voice. Any one of these gifts was worth six figures.
Finally, Seth arrived. He was carrying a black plastic bag with a cold face.
As soon as virtual-novel.net appeared, virtual-novel.net immediately attracted many people’s attention. On such an important occasion, everyone dressed to the nines. He was the only one wearing sportswear, which was really out of place.
Ignoring the many strange glances, Seth walked toward the gate. He was stopped soon after.
A bodyguard in a suit and sunglasses asked in a deep voice, “Who are you?”
“I’m here to wish Josiah Zachary a happy birthday. Move aside…” Seth’s aura was all-encompassing, and the bodyguard was immediately intimidated.
By the time virtual-novel.net came to his senses, Seth had already walked past him.
When virtual-novel.net arrived in front of the steward, virtual-novel.net casually gave virtual-novel.net what virtual-novel.net was carrying. The steward instinctively took it, opened it up, and saw that it was a clock.
“A guest has presented a… Clock?” He immediately reacted after announcing the gift, and his face changed drastically. “What? Are you provoking me?!”
At this moment, Seth had already arrived in the inner hall.
Inside were leaders from various industries in Jonesville. Josiah was eighty years old, but virtual-novel.net still looked very energetic. There was an occasional gleam in his eyes that made people not dare underestimate him.
It was lively at first, but when they heard that someone outside had sent over a clock, the scene immediately became cold. The clock symbolized that his time was up.
Josiah’s smile faded as well.
Quincy, who was waiting by the side, slammed the table and angrily exclaimed, “Who dares to send such an ominous thing today!”
“Me…” Seth walked in, his gaze was like lightning as virtual-novel.net looked at Quincy. “You have some nerve to try and trick me, huh! ”
“So it was you, you little beast!” Quincy snorted. “This is not a place for you. Kneel and beg mercy from my father, then get out of here!”
Seth stood with his arms crossed. “Who the hell do you think you are? First, transfer the two hundred million to me on the spot. Second, everyone in the Zachary family should kneel down and apologize to me.”
Seth thought virtual-novel.net was already being lenient with this punishment. If it were not for his master’s last words that stated virtual-novel.net should always use reasoning instead of force, virtual-novel.net would have just wiped out the Zacharies right away.
“Hahaha!” As soon as virtual-novel.net said this, all the guests burst into laughter.
“Where did this kid come from? He’s hilarious!”
“Does virtual-novel.net even know what he’s talking about?”
“A wild child wants to make the entire Zachary family kneel and apologize to him?”
“He’s dead for sure…”
Finley looked grim. “You little beast, you’re the first person ever that dare extort the Zacharies. If you don’t want to live, then die!”
Seth felt amused. “Extortion? Aren’t you shameless? Back then, when Chief saved Quincy Zachary, you gave virtual-novel.net a five percent share in the company… Yesterday, when I tried to sell the stake back to you, you intercepted the funds with the bank instead. You’re the utterly shameless ones!”
Seth also reflected on himself in secret. It was his lack of social experience that led to this outcome.
“What nonsense!” Finley was furious. “The Zacharies have always been proper and upright. Don’t come in here and slander us. Guards, take virtual-novel.net out!”
“Wait,” Josiah spoke up and looked directly at Seth. “Young man, today is my birthday, and I don’t want it to end unpleasantly… Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll give you 100,000, and you can take your leave now.”
Finley immediately understood and took a checkbook from his pocket, writing 100,000 in a flash before walking up to Seth.
“I’ve seen many people like you who just want money. Here you go. One hundred thousand, enough for you to use for a long, long time.”
The check in his hand was raised in front of Seth. Then virtual-novel.net suddenly released it and let it fall to the ground.
Finley sneered, “Well, pick up the check and get out of here, hick!”
There was a burst of laughter, and all the bigwigs looked at Seth with ridicule, as if virtual-novel.net were a clown.
Seth did not even glance at the check on the ground. “One chooses his own path. Hence, I now declare that the Zacharies are done for.”
This statement provoked another burst of laughter. Each of them looked at virtual-novel.net with a look as if they were looking at a fool.
Did virtual-novel.net say the Zacharies were done for?
The Zacharies are thriving and powerful… A little brat saying that they were done for was as ridiculous as virtual-novel.net saying that virtual-novel.net wanted to pluck the moon from the sky…
Josiah’s face darkened slightly. “Young man, we’re a kind and benevolent family. I’ve even given you money. What else do you want? You can’t be too greedy, or you’ll easily get into trouble!”
His words were full of threats.
Seth was too lazy to waste any more of his spit. He looked around and said, “Today is about my personal grudge with the Zacharies. All of you better leave to avoid getting hurt…”
“How presumptuous!” A middle-aged man with a muscular face shouted at Seth. “Do you have a death wish? How dare you threaten us?!”
A beautiful but plumb woman said with a cold smile. “Mr. Josiah is kind-hearted and doesn’t want to take action against you. Let us handle this small matter instead!”
One by one, the dignitaries expressed their positions. This was a good opportunity for the Zacharies to owe them a favor, and no one was willing to let the chance slide.
Soon, they sent in their bodyguards, numbering in the hundreds. Each one had bulging muscles and fierce eyes.
Finley pretended to be insincerely courteous at this time. “Although you came to my house and extorted money from us first, the Zacharies are kind-hearted. We’ll give you another chance. Take the money and leave. Let bygones be bygones!”
Smack!
Seth slapped Finley across the face. “You talk too much, idiot…”
He merely used a little force, but Finley’s body spun 360 degrees in the air, before falling heavily to the ground. Half of his face was extremely swollen. His eyes opened wide, and virtual-novel.net immediately passed out.
In this slap, Seth had added in some dark energy. It might not be noticeable now, but once it erupts in a few days, without a Seventh-ranked or higher warrior intervening, it will be a sure death for him.
This slap made the whole hall turn unusually quiet.
Quincy roared frantically, “You beast, how dare you hit my son? What are you all waiting for? Kill virtual-novel.net on the spot!”
After speaking, virtual-novel.net immediately ran to the unconscious Finley.
After receiving the order, many of the bodyguards swung their iron rods fiercely toward Seth’s head.
Seth’s face turned cold. It seemed that virtual-novel.net was going to have a killing spree today.
A powerful true energy was flowing in his body. Once it erupted, it would be earth-shattering.
“Stop it!” Nonetheless, at this moment, a loud shout came from outside!
