“Boss, you can’t entirely blame him. He has his own reasons,” Micah said cautiously as he saw Flynn getting angry.
“The Shelon Army is known for their toughness, and only you can handle them,” he added.
“Old Shelon King is already sixty. He wants to retire and enjoy himself. He has been submitting retirement applications to the Imperial Center, and the six elders are also anxious.”
“Nate Black General also feels the same way. Besides, Miss Black likes you.”
“He wants to marry his daughter off to you and let you take over the Dragon Cavalry. They want the benefits for themselves…”
“Yes, yes, yes! That’s what the six elders mean!” Augustine nodded in agreement with him.
However, Flynn was displeased with their suggestions. “They both want family happiness. Don’t I deserve it too? I just got out of jail and haven’t avenged my mother yet.”
“They want me tied down in either Shelon or Haralu? Impossible! Besides Old King of Shelon can live up until 96. what’s the rush?”
“As for Nate Black… I treat his daughter like a sister. There’s no way I’m marrying her. Why doesn’t that old man listen?” he continued.
Micah shook his head wryly, “You know how stubborn Miss Black is once she sets her mind on something.”
“She won’t marry anyone else except for you, and even General Black can’t do anything about it since everyone in the Black family likes you.”
“It’s fortunate that Miss Black is serving in the Northern Territory. Otherwise, she would be pestering General Black every day about finding you!” Micah added with a sigh as Flynn stood up from his chair.
“Now that Ostrad has no wars going on at present time, I have no intention of going back to either Shelon or Haralu yet. Just pretend like we never met before and take care of Rose that I brought along!”
Flynn looked at Augustine indifferently, “You’re Elder Six’s people who looks like a master yourself so continue being Timothy Houghton!”
“Come on let’s take a photo together!”
Flynn took out his phone and took a picture before heading towards the front hall.
“King of Underworld actually praised me and took a photo with me!” Augustine was thrilled as he trembled excitedly.
“You’re thinking too much.” Micah sighed impatiently, “When he said ‘you look like a master,’ it was actually warning not to tarnish his image.”
“The photo was more like an admonishment. If you tell Elder Six what happened today, then expect him knocking at your door.”
“Ah! So that’s what it means!” Augustine’s smile stiffened suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat. He stuttered, “I… I will definitely maintain Timothy Houghton’s image and not dare to tell Elder Six…”
This was a person who made countless villains tremble in fear. Compared to Elder Six, he was even more afraid of Flynn.
As the three of them talked, Alfie curled up on the side and became more and more frightened.
When Flynn stood up, Alfie’s fear reached its peak. His heart felt like it was about to burst open.
He didn’t know who the “King of the Underworld” was but he knew who Elder Six of Imperial Center and Nate Black were!
These two figures at the pinnacle of Ostrad power actually invited Flynn out? How shocking!
“B-boss, I… I really don’t know… he has such a big background…” Alfie became incoherent with fear as his face turned pale.
Micah said coldly, “You heard what King of the Underworld said earlier. Take care of Ms. Sharp that he brought!”
“If you mess up… well… you know what will happen!”
“B-boss… I will definitely do things right from now on…” Alfie looked at his boss’ fierce appearance and almost died from fright as he scrambled out of the office.
Flynn walked into the art exhibition hall.
As soon as he arrived next to Rose, someone bumped into him.
“I’m sorry for being late. Did I hurt you? Hmm? Flynn!”
River held a scroll in his hand. When he saw that he had bumped into Flynn by accident, his apologetic expression disappeared instantly replaced by anger which slowly rose within him.
He still held a grudge against him for kicking him out from Swanson’s Group estate before.
Enemies meeting each other were especially red-eyed.
River took a glance at Flynn then caught sight of Rose through peripheral vision; he couldn’t help but sneer, “No wonder this dog is here too. Ms. Sharp is here after all.”
“The owner who managed to get 1 billion financing really knows how to show off – bringing your dog along with you when attending an art exhibition is quite something.”
“But why are you sitting at back?”
“Oh! Now I understand. You’re dating this dog so sitting at back would attract less attention while still allowing some kissing or touching between each other, isn’t it?”
River looked at Rose, sneering with eyes full of resentment. Especially that exquisitely crafted, stunning face, there was an impulse to go up and ruin it.
Flynn frowned slightly and asked coldly, “River, do you want trouble?”
“Isn’t what I said the truth?” River glanced at Flynn and smiled. “Rose knows you’re good at fighting, and she wants to keep using you until you’re no longer useful. Isn’t that normal? But you should know, the prettier the flower, the more poisonous it is. Rose will do anything to achieve her goals, and once she’s done with you, she won’t keep you around.”
“River, have you had enough?” Rose’s eyes grew cold with anger.
Flynn was also displeased. “If you want to talk nonsense, go do it somewhere else and don’t disgust us here.”
“If you want to feel what it’s like to be kicked over again.”
River chuckled instead of getting angry this time around. He turned towards a guest who was watching them for entertainment purposes and said, “Did everyone see that? I spoke the truth and they both got upset. What does that mean?”
“It means they really have something going on!”
“Ladies and gentlemen,” River continued his provocation while pointing towards Flynn, “Flynn is already married but still having an affair with Rose! How shameless can one get?”
With his deliberate tone, the surrounding guests believed him. They looked at Rose and Flynn with expressions of disgust.
“No wonder this guy defends Rose so much. Turns out they have something going on! Shameless pair!”
“Rose seducing a married man, how despicable! A few years ago, she was standing at the peak of Niarak, and now she’s so promiscuous!”
“There’s no defending without a reason. This guy daring to offend Ms. Hussain for Rose proves there’s something between them! If it were just a business relationship, he wouldn’t go this far for Rose!”
“I used to admire Rose as a woman but now look at her behavior. So despicable! If she wants to act like a prostitute, then why not just become one instead of seducing married men? She has no shame!”
The crowd listened intently as each word fueled their disgust towards Flynn and Rose.
River smirked as he heard their insults; he thought, “If I can’t have what I want, then I’ll destroy it instead!”
“Since your face has healed up nicely,” he addressed Rose directly this time around, “I’ll ruin your reputation instead!”
“I’ll make sure everyone talks about how much of a slutty woman Niarak people has ever seen! Even if I don’t achieve my goal completely, I’ll still make sure people are disgusted by your actions.”
“This is all because of your rejection towards me!”
