“Mr. Clark, your mother Adrianna was a benefactor to the George family. The George family was massacred to keep a secret, leaving only Molly as their bloodline.”
“I cannot bear to lose Molly again. I implore you, Mr. Clark, to keep her by your side. My family will be forever grateful,” Barney said with his head bowed.
Although Barney’s words were subtle, Flynn understood their meaning clearly. Out of duty and respect for the relationship between their families, he should agree.
Flynn and Rose both believed in repaying kindness with gratitude.
The George family had been loyal and honorable but were wiped out because they kept a secret. Flynn felt obligated to protect Molly.
“Let her work at Orco Real Estate or Energence so she can have something tying her down and stay out of trouble,” Barney suggested.
“I will visit from time to time.”
Flynn agreed but immediately asked, “Molly is independent-minded. Are you confident in persuading her to take the job?”
Barney chuckled and replied, “Don’t worry, a few days ago she promised Rocco that she would be obedient after killing the King of Poison.”
“She will fulfill what she has promised.”
“If Molly still doesn’t listen, I’ll arrange a marriage for her. She’s most afraid of getting married, so as long as I pressure her with marriage, she’ll definitely comply!”
Flynn felt relieved after hearing this. Having one more burden wouldn’t matter, but he was worried about not being able to control her, which would be troublesome.
“You can arrange it however you like. I don’t want to invest too much energy in her.” Flynn ended the conversation with this statement.
At that moment, Neymar had already obtained the land use certificate. He handed it over with both hands and apologized once again, displaying extreme humility. Implicitly, he still wanted to secure his official position and hoped Flynn could put in a good word.
Flynn didn’t even acknowledge him. He took the documents and left the Resource Bureau.
Scarlet knew about the dinner arranged by the Pearce family for Flynn. After a few polite invitations, she declined under the pretense of visiting the company to check the progress of the renovation.
Flynn and Callie arrived at the reserved restaurant, where Brandon was already waiting at the entrance.
He led Flynn to the seat of honor and began introducing the instructors of the Blade Special Forces over the past few years.
“What’s the use of learning so many things in a disorderly manner?” Flynn shook his head.
Brandon instantly understood.
Flynn meant that over the years, the instructors they hired were too inconsistent, and they instilled too much information.
“Learning a little of this and a little of that, it’s all a mess! They think they’ve mastered every skill, but in reality, they can’t do anything!”
Flynn completely denied it.
Brandon fell silent.
The worse their performance became in recent years, the more frequently the instructors changed.
They came and went like a revolving door, with masters of Dragon Fist, Shape-will Fist, combat, Eight Extremities, and others taking turns.
In the end, the more they practiced, the more confused they became.
“You’ve just learned too much, but you haven’t become stronger. It doesn’t matter how much you learn!” Flynn overturned his previous beliefs and said, “The special training will begin the day after tomorrow. I’ll go and observe their drills, and then I’ll modify the training plan accordingly.”
With Flynn’s assurance, Brandon’s confidence soared.
After the dinner ended, he drove Flynn back to Plenilune Mountain.
Just after he took a shower, Scarlet called.
“Brother-in-law, my mother is coming tomorrow. Can you meet her with me?” Scarlet sounded somewhat weary.
It could be heard that she had just had an argument with her mother.
“Meet her?” Flynn was taken aback.
Scarlet said, “This time, my mother wants to take me back to Pelens for an arranged marriage.”
“I told her I had a boyfriend and mentioned your name.”
“She wants to meet you.”
Flynn was completely dumbfounded.
He was Madeline’s husband, and they had to maintain a relationship with the Kaur family. If they were to meet, it would be incredibly awkward.
“Oh, brother-in-law, don’t worry. My mother and Paulina have never gotten along. They’ve only occasionally been in contact over the past twenty years, and they only talk about my life in Niarak.”
“She doesn’t know about your relationship with Madeline, and they haven’t met before. Can you pretend to be my boyfriend just this once, please?”
Scarlet pleaded anxiously.
Paulina never approved of Flynn and even considered it a disgrace for her daughter to marry him. How could she introduce their marriage to someone else? It was all she could do to keep it hidden!
Flynn rubbed his nose and smirked, “Short arms can’t reach, but family members have soft hearts. Do I have any reason to refuse?”
“You agreed? That’s great! Thank you, brother-in-law!” At this point, Scarlet suddenly realized something and said in a slightly spoiled tone, “Oh my, brother-in-law, can you not be so dirty-minded?”
“Speaking honestly, when you were having dinner with Callie, did you ever do something like that in the car?”
“At the Resource Bureau, she had stars in her eyes when she looked at you. She must have fallen for you! I don’t care, she even gave you her first kiss, so you have to take responsibility!”
Flynn chuckled and raised an eyebrow, “The first kiss doesn’t count, only the first blood is official.”
“That depends on when you become a beast! Goodnight! Hehe…” Scarlet’s face instantly turned red, and she hung up the phone.
Lying in bed, Flynn felt a little worried.
Scarlet’s mother, Maria, indeed had a strained relationship with Paulina, but what if they reconciled one day?
After all, they were sisters!
If he met Maria and she suddenly decided to go to the Kaur family, wouldn’t it cause a big uproar?
Let’s take it one step at a time. All he could hope for was Maria to leave Niarak quickly.
The next morning, Flynn was awakened by a call from Matteo.
“Flynn! Accompany me fishing today, I’ll introduce you to some connections.”
Flynn was a bit confused.
Did he still need connections?
But Flynn never refused Matteo’s requests, so after confirming the meeting place, he took a taxi to Yellow Mountain Lake Park.
“Mr. Kaur, I’ve never heard that you enjoy fishing.” In Flynn’s impression, Matteo was only interested in calligraphy. He had never seen any fishing equipment at his house or heard him mention anything related to fishing.
Matteo didn’t answer directly but said with a worried expression, “Flynn, I took the Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill that Madeline obtained from NourishNature for three meals, and my heart feels much better.”
“The palpitations and shortness of breath are gone. It seems that NourishNature’s medicine is very effective.”
“If the Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill is mass-produced, Energence won’t last long. You better find another company quickly and don’t let yourself be caught in the storm after it collapses!”
Energence Pharmaceuticals was already at a disadvantage in this battle and was struggling to develop with the help of the ancient formula, Bone-Cleansing Pill.
Now that NourishNature had the Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill, Energence Pharmaceuticals’ new product advantage was neutralized. Under the overall suppression from NourishNature, Rose wouldn’t be able to hold on for long and bankruptcy was inevitable.
Flynn understood Matteo’s intentions.
He was helping him find another company.
“I have a few old classmates fishing today, some of them are doing well.”
“Among them, Rodrigo McGuire comes from a wealthy family and owns a multi-billion-dollar company. He has deep cooperation with the Myriad Dragon Merchant Guild. When I introduce you later, be sure to greet him.”
As they spoke, Matteo led Flynn to a group of middle-aged men fishing.
“Matteo! Is this your son-in-law?” Rodrigo said while feeding the fish, without even raising his head, his voice indifferent.
The others glanced at Flynn and a trace of disdain appeared on their faces.
“Matteo, your daughter is not bad-looking, why did she find such a useless guy! And she expects us to give him a job?”
“That’s right, Matteo, you have your own company, just arrange him there! If even you find him unworthy, we can’t accept him!”
“Matteo, not to criticize you, but when I wanted my son to marry your daughter, you refused. Now he has started a company with a market value over a billion! Do you regret it?”
Everyone expressed their disdain towards Flynn, speaking to Matteo with an arrogant tone.
Matteo had already informed them and introduced Flynn, mentioning his time in prison as well.
After all, finding a job required honesty.
Although they didn’t mention it explicitly, their meaning was clear: if you find this son-in-law useless, we want him even less!
Matteo quickly explained with a smile, “Madeline is the CEO of the Kaur’s Group. If I introduce him to the company, others will have objections. So I hope you guys can help.”
“Oh, I forgot to introduce him. Flynn is Adrianna’s son, our classmate. Let’s give him a hand for her sake!”
