“Little bastard, don’t think just because I’m a woman that you can bully me,” Cristina pointed her blood-red nails at Flynn and spoke with authority.
“Don’t think I’m bluffing. I’ve already called my husband and he’s bringing his men here right now! You’re as good as dead!”
Matteo was scared by Cristina’s words and pleaded with Rodrigo, “Rodrigo, please help Flynn out for the sake of Adrianna and me. I can’t let him get beaten to death.”
“What about your face?” Rodrigo didn’t even bother turning his head as he sneered, “How much is your face worth?”
“But your good son-in-law just cursed me with bankruptcy earlier! You want me to help him? Do you think I have a brain like yours that’s been kicked?”
Matteo looked hopeless.
Flynn shook his head and said to Matteo, “Mr. Kaur, even Rodrigo can barely protect himself. What use is it for you to ask him for help?”
“I’ll handle this myself!” This statement caused everyone to burst into laughter.
“Did we hear that right? He thinks he can handle it himself? Is he going to reason with Ms. Wise or use force? Idiot!”
“Rodrigo has billions of dollars in wealth and another project that will earn him 300 million more soon. He says someone else can barely protect themselves? Haha…”
“This guy is so stubborn even when facing death. When Ms. Wise’s husband arrives, he’ll know what kneeling feels like.” The disdain towards Flynn reached its peak after they heard these comments.
They also thought Matteo was a clown.
“Oh? Isn’t this Mr. McGuire? Do you know those two over there?” Cristina walked over after being attracted by the laughter from the riverbank.
Rodrigo chuckled sarcastically and said in an eerie tone, “Ms. Wise, he could bankrupt me with just one word; how could someone like me have connections with such godly people?”
The emphasis on “godly people” carried deep mockery within it which Cristina picked up on immediately before responding, “With you having billions of dollars in wealth, how could bankruptcy be possible so easily? Since you don’t recognize these two lowlifes, then there’s no need for mercy from my side either.”
Rodrigo raised an eyebrow while adopting an indifferent attitude before saying, “Do whatever pleases you. Once this matter is resolved, we’ll discuss our cooperation.”
“That would be great! I heard you’ve cooperated with Myriad Dragon Merchant Guild before. I’d love if you could introduce us,” Cristina exclaimed excitedly while their old classmates felt envy mixed admiration towards Rodrigo reach its peak at this point.
“Rodrigo not only has a partnership with Myriad Dragon Merchant Guild, but also with the Wong family! If he partners with Ms. Wise, Rodrigo’s business empire will expand several times over!”
“That’s right, the Wong family is a top-tier powerhouse! In Niarak, they’re only second to Orion and Edwin. With such bigwigs as partners, no one can underestimate you!”
“What day is it today? Rodrigo got two partnership intentions in just a short while! It’s an auspicious day!”
Cristina was also shocked.
She had tried to partner with the Wong family at least ten times before and was rejected every time. She wasn’t even allowed through their doors.
Rodrigo’s wealth was similar to hers, yet he managed to climb up two big trees like Myriad Dragon Merchant Guild and the Wong family!
Rodrigo laughed heartily and said, “Ms. Wise, you’re overestimating me. I’m not even worthy of being friends with Mr. Kennedy.”
“I can only interact with his four generals. If you’re interested, I can introduce you to them.”
“But whether or not they’ll do me a favor… I can’t guarantee that. Also, Mr. Wong will come later to discuss cooperation; I can introduce you then too!”
Cristina nodded repeatedly, “Yes please! It would be such an honor for me to meet Mr. Kennedy’s four generals!”
“As for Mr. Wong… I think we should forget about it. The Wong Family definitely won’t look kindly upon my own family.”
Rodrigo remained noncommittal.
He had begged seven or eight times just for a chance to see Abraham before finally entering their doors by borrowing that opportunity from him.
Each time he spent heavily on gifts and presents; perhaps the Wong family were moved by his sincerity which led them into agreeing on cooperation.
It wouldn’t be wise for him now if he went beyond what was necessary because if Kamari became unhappy, then it could spell trouble for himself too.
Just then, a flashy red McLaren parked nearby, and out came a young man wearing slicked-back hair, a tight checkered suit, a pair of white leather shoes, and socks as red as his car.
He exuded an aura of “firebrand youth”, and everyone couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, “His fashion sense is simply amazing!” If it weren’t for driving around in this million-dollar sports car, everyone would have thought him just another young guy trying too hard.
“Rodrigo, Mr. Wong has come looking for you regarding cooperation.”
“No wonder he’s from a top-tier household, the way Mr. Wong carries himself so arrogantly, is simply unparalleled.”
“Everyone needs to be polite when dealing with him. This young master has quite an irritable personality – he swears at people without warning sometimes, and even gets physical. So don’t blame me later if someone ends up getting hit!”
Kamari’s appearance instantly commanded respect from everyone, and they all rushed to greet him.
Honestly speaking, with Kamari’s character, if he wasn’t Uriah’s son, he probably wouldn’t even be able to find a wife.
But fortunately for him, he was the Wong family heir. With this status alone, even if he were a dog, people would still take a second look.
This was the power of the Wong family!
“Mr. Wong, you don’t need to come down here. Just wait there and we’ll go talk at a five-star hotel!” Rodrigo greeted him obsequiously like an old servant.
On his way up the hillside, Rodrigo slipped twice due to nervousness and quickly got back up without even dusting himself off before running towards Kamari.
The others followed suit with smiles on their faces and slightly hunched backs as they welcomed this little money god with utmost respect.
The scene was as magnificent as that of old courtiers attending an audience with their emperor.
Yet not one person felt anything was wrong because he was the Wong family heir who would inherit his father’s position in the future!
Matteo stood in place feeling envious beyond words, “I can’t believe Rodrigo has already curried favor with the Wong family. He naturally has enough confidence to look down on me. When will my family reach such heights as that of the McGuire family?”
“Does this guy have some kind of misunderstanding about fashion?” Flynn looked at Kamari dressed in colorful clothes and couldn’t stop laughing.
Seeing everyone crowding around him like that made Kamari frown slightly before glancing over at Flynn and Matteo standing alone by themselves 100 meters away from them all…
“Hiss… Mr. Wong cares most about appearances when traveling so why haven’t Matteo or his son-in-law come out to greet him?”
“Who doesn’t think so? We came rushing over here almost kneeling down but those two just stand there like nothing happened! They’re obviously not showing Mr. Wong any respect!”
“Especially that Flynn guy who had both hands in his pockets while grinning stupidly at us – Is he mocking us?”
Rodrigo also noticed Flynn’s expression and his face darkened, “Mr. Wong doesn’t need to get angry over those two idiots’ lack of intelligence; someone else will teach them a lesson later.”
After saying this, he gave Cristina a signal which she understood immediately – her chance had arrived for her performance. “Mr. Wong, those two lowlifes just offended me,” she flattered obsequiously, “I’ve already called my husband; when he brings people over later, I’ll make sure they kneel down and apologize!”
