Chapter 405
“You, you…” Jane’s expression turned pale. Her finger pointing at Stephen was shaking violently. “W-what is the meaning of this?!”
Coffins at her birthday?
It was more of a curse than a present!
Stephen grinned and explained, “Oh, it’s nothing. I just want the Conerys to completely disappear from the East River State!”
Jane was afraid because they were outnumbered. She asked, “Why are you targeting my family?”
“You should be asking those two.” Stephen narrowed his eyes dangerously as he pointed at Andrius and
Luna
Jane was shocked. Her expression instantly turned grim as she bellowed, “Luna, Andrius, what did you two do to make this man this angry?”
Andrius pointed at the wild king ginseng on the floor and said, “He tried to bid against the Wolf King during the auction yesterday.”
His words shocked every one of the Conerys.
“Bidded for the wild king ginseng?”
“So, the wild king ginseng is real?”
“Luna really got a 500–million wild king ginseng?!”
However, the surprise was soon replaced by anger, because the wild king ginseng did not cure Jane of her condition or kept her healthy. Instead, it brought forth calamity upon their family!
“Andrius! Why did you go piss him off?!”
“What is the use of this wild king ginseng? It’s fancy but isn’t useful! If he wants it, just give it to him! Look at what you’ve done.”
“You stupid caveman troublemaker!”
“You are a jinx! You troubled the Crestfalls, and now you are here to trouble us!”
“Andrius…”
No one showed any mercy to Andrius
Luna argued, “This has nothing to do with Andrius. The Wolf King won the bid, and he gave it to us. But that man there is being a cheapskate and refuses to accept his loss. That’s why he’s here!”
Stephen found Luna’s words amusing. He laughed.
He looked at her and sneered, “Girl, you must be daydreaming. You drag the Wolf King into this just like that? Do you really think by mentioning the Wolf King’s name, I will be scared? No way!”
Even though the last scene that happened yesterday felt strange, based on Stephen’s experience, it was impossible for the Wolf King to have been there to win the bid just to give the wild king ginseng to them
Why would the honorable Wolf King do something this cheap?
Jane quickly grabbed the wild king ginseng from the floor and brought it over to Stephen with both hands “Sir, if you want it so much, I’ll give it to you Can you let us go?”
The woman lowered herself and basked herself in humility in front of Stephen. The arrogance and anger she showed Luna and Andrius were gone.
“Of course.” Stephen glanced at Luna and Andrius. He chuckled and said, “But you will have to tell the girl there to sleep with me for half a month, and I want to break that guy’s legs. Then, I’ll call it off. Or else. this will be the end of your family!”
Jane’s expression turned grim once more.
She had no opinion of Stephen wanting to break Andrius‘ legs, but if Luna were to sleep with him for half a month, it would bring shame to the family.
Besides, she had plans to introduce Luna to other influential young men in the capital. If she was ravaged for half a month, her plans would go to waste.
She pondered for a moment before she looked at Renault. She whispered, “Renault, do you think…”
Renault knew exactly what she was thinking.
However, Renault knew the man better than the Conerys.
The man was Stephen Hoffen, a man so vicious and brutal that not even Hex the Demon Monk and his men could threaten him. He killed for sport. Only an insane person would want to be involved with the
man.
Renault whispered back, “Grandmother, let’s just hand them over. It’s better to solve the problem than start another.”
The others agreed with his suggestion.
“Mother, they should bear this responsibility. Since it’s their fault that the man is here, let them handle it!”
“Yeah, why should we clean up after them?”
“Clean up your own mess!”
“They had it coming!”
No one helped or tried to defend Andrius and Luna.
Stephen grinned in satisfaction when he saw the family turning their backs on Luna and Andrius.
“Punk, you had fun raising the price yesterday. I bet you never would have thought that you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
As soon as his voice subsided, an untimely scoff sounded.
Pfft.
It was Rainbow who could not hold her laughter back.
Stephen narrowed his eyes. Before he could bellow, Andrius said, “Old man, if you want to run, now is the time, or else you won’t be able to.”
Stephen glared at Andrius coldly. “No one in the East River State has the balls to keep me down!”
“Is that so?” a strong and deep voice boomed. “What about me?”
