“Mr. Hill, your calculations are quite loud!”
“But I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. Not only will you not win, but you’ll also lose terribly!” Rose said calmly.
“How will I lose?” Braiden laughed and said, “The Bone-Cleansing Pill might suppress Acebegron Clear Relief, but you won’t last until then.”
“When billions of dollars press in, your newly built skyscraper will collapse!”
“The Bone-Cleansing Pill and the Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill will fall into our hands!”
Lilia smiled disdainfully and said, “Mr. Hill, Ms. Sharp has been blinded by a few small victories and won’t listen to us.”
“Can’t you see? Ms. Sharp speaks lightly, with a mocking smile that hasn’t left her face. She doesn’t take us seriously anymore.”
“Even the dog beside her holds its head high, not deigning to look at us.”
“He’s already waiting for me to beg for mercy.”
Flynn knew Lilia was talking about him but wasn’t angry at all. He smirked and said, “You misunderstand. Ms. Sharp just doesn’t take you seriously.”
“But what about you? Still trying to show off like a clown.”
“Rest assured, I’ll say it again: you will wear those lettered black stockings and kneel on the bed begging for mercy!”
After saying this, Flynn glanced at Lilia’s long legs and turned to Rose, saying, “Wasting words with these idiots is pointless; let’s go eat something!”
“I’m hungry even if you’re not!”
With that, he wrapped his arm around Rose’s waist and walked towards the manor gate.
To everyone’s surprise, Rose didn’t react at all and accepted Flynn’s rough hand!
She was one of the top three beauties in Niarak. To them, being close to Rose would be worth losing ten years of their lives!
Yet now she was being held by a man in front of everyone!
Pain!
Envy!
Jealousy!
Countless negative emotions gathered, and they couldn’t help but curse under their breath.
Braiden’s anger soared as he watched Flynn’s actions.
Flynn had once again wrapped his arm around Rose’s waist in front of him!
The goddess he couldn’t have was being taken advantage of by a lowlife for the second time!
It was no different from his goddess being touched by a beggar!
Rose, just wait!
I will take not only your Bone-Cleansing Pill and Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill but also you!
When you go bankrupt again, I will defile everything sacred about you!
Layla hadn’t spoken but showed a serious expression when she saw Flynn holding Rose.
Rose was too calm today.
Unlike her usual self, she seemed confident as if she knew she would win.
Could she really have a trump card?
Moreover, as a rival for ten years, Layla knew Rose as someone who kept people at arm’s length and was cold as ice.
Now she was being held by Flynn without any reaction?
This was very strange.
Could it be that Flynn’s constant protection made her develop feelings?
“No matter what, with me here, Rose’s tricks are just minor ploys that can’t stir up much trouble!” Layla thought coldly and stopped pondering these questions.
Since Rose had applied for two invitations, Flynn wasn’t stopped and entered the manor with her.
“Please hand over your phones and other communication devices,” a manager-like man approached after they took a few steps.
Rose handed over her phone after turning it off and explained to Flynn: “Hand it over. The Dragon Creek Society is very powerful; one decision can cause economic turmoil in Shipmeda State. They don’t allow any information leaks.”
“It’s a rule for all attendees to hand over their phones.”
Flynn shrugged and complied.
After handing over their phones, they walked towards a pavilion deep within the manor.
Braiden and his group followed closely behind and handed over their phones.
The pavilion was by a lake surrounded by lotus flowers with white cranes soaring above.
On the nearby lawn was a long table filled with various dishes and drinks.
Several women in bright red high-slit cheongsams stood outside the pavilion waiting for orders.
Inside the pavilion sat more than twenty middle-aged men.
They were dressed simply but exuded an imposing aura with every move reflecting their high status.
However, one man stood out.
Dressed in luxury brands with a fat face full of smiles, he stood beside everyone pouring tea non-stop.
Noticing Flynn’s confusion, Rose explained: “That fat guy is Killian, owner of Laiya Cosmetics. Like Braiden and me, he’s also a prospective member for this recruitment meeting.”
With that said, she quickly walked over.
“Mr. Mcguire, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hewson, Mr. Stevens…” Rose greeted everyone one by one.
“Oh, Ms. Sharp is here!” Phillip from Zeusbite Investments nodded without much expression on his face.
The others didn’t speak; they just nodded slightly before continuing their conversations.
Rose wasn’t upset by the cold reception and sat down with Flynn in two empty seats.
Their actions made everyone frown with some displeasure.
Killian was especially taken aback; his face showed some dissatisfaction.
I’ve been here early serving tea like a servant without daring to sit down.
You two are just prospective members like me; how dare you act so high and mighty?
Dragon Creek Society values hierarchy above all else.
New members respect old members.
Old members respect the president.
The president respects honorary presidents.
You two aren’t even members yet dare sit as equals?
Do you think Braiden will become a member so you’ve given up completely?
Ha-
You really have no sense of propriety!
Even if you can’t join Dragon Creek Society today’s performance could still earn favor from its members.
If they leave a good impression on them perhaps they could become friends in future encounters.
But these two act like they’re grand lords sitting there!
Whoa-
Rose’s friend is even bolder; he’s already helping himself at the buffet table!
Those big shots haven’t moved yet but he’s started eating!
Damn!
He filled three plates with seafood then grabbed an eight-pound king crab returning to his seat!
“Aren’t you going to get some?” Flynn asked while peeling crab meat.
Rose frowned slightly: “Can’t you eat more gracefully? You’re too rough!”
“What counts as graceful?”
“Eating heartily is what makes a man!”
“Do you expect me to eat daintily like women?”
Flynn shrugged ignoring others’ gazes stuffing peeled crab meat into his mouth.
Seeing Flynn’s behavior made all members’ faces darken with flashes of anger!
Of course being big shots they wouldn’t lose temper in such occasions.
Killian wasn’t same though glaring at Flynn shouting:
“Where did this bumpkin come from? Haven’t eaten in eight lifetimes?”
“Can’t see everyone hasn’t started eating yet? Put it down immediately!”
