"That's right!" Quin spoke, chuckling as he did. "It's pointless for us to make guesses over here, but I can promise you he's not the Supreme Warrior. They look alike, that's all."
As the men conversed with one another, a sports car rolled in from the entrance and into the compound. Parked at one side, a prepossessing lady with a nice figure wearing traditional Chinese cheongsam came down from the car.
Oddly enough, the lady had a mask on, and no one knew whether it was because she was sick or afraid of being recognized.
"Hey, who's that? She just drove right in at such a speed!" Ivan yelled. "Is she not afraid of hurting people?”
Both Kings of War-the two who initially wanted to meet Fane in person—and the other attendees had their attentions diverted to this newcomer.
Neil stood up the moment he saw the woman coming. “Fane, why aren't you coming over? Your rich hag is here. Shouldn't you be welcoming her?" he sneered. Fane did mention that this woman would be attending, but no one expected that she would genuinely be that shameless and show up in the end.
Of course, Neil's father was also here. Once he noticed his son inserting himself into the impending fiasco, he pulled his son to the side. "Neil, what did I tell you? I asked you to not cause problems when you're in public. What are you rambling about now?!"
Neil saw red at that moment. "Father, you're too afraid of things happening around you. I'm starting to think you’re a coward. You not only stopped me from bringing bodyguards, but you even forced m e to apologize to Fane back then. Now I'm out of line just by speaking the truth?" Neil asserted, a cold expression on his face as h e did. "We saw everything with our own eyes, and we're only telling the truth.
What’s wrong with that?"
Roy Hugo's facial expression darkened. “Do you know who this supposed rich hag is? When did our Middle Province have a rich hag that could buy that five-billion luminous pearl just like that? Why are you s o stupid? What if she’s the wife of a powerful patriarch in another city? We can't mess with these people!"
"I didn’t offend her. I'm just exposing Fane," Neil retorted. “ So what if she’s rich? This woman’s money must've come from her husband, right? She'd be kicked out of her family with nothing on her once her husband finds out about these two. We don't need to be afraid of her," Neil continued, his father's anger dismissed entirely. This was his chance to see Fane dropped from the Taylor family. How could he miss that?
Nonetheless, Roy's cold glare remained. ' Shut up!" he barked. Roy ordered him to not proactively stand out and make a scene
"That's right. Fane, come over here. Why are you there accompanying your wife? You'll never have to worry about nothing having enough on your plate when you have this rich hag!" Michael, who was waiting to see Fane's jokes, piped in right after. All of them wanted to see what Fane would do and say.
On the other side of the area, Skyler was frowning. "This woman seems to have a nice figure. I think it's the Goddess of War.'
“Correct. This is how she looks in feminine outfits. What do you think? You can't recognize her when you see her in such clothing for the first time, right?"
Quin smiled and curiously spoke, “It puzzles me, though. Why did these rich young masters keep calling her 'rich hag'? Yes, she’s rich, but she wouldn't keep young men as her lovers. Are these people out of their minds? Do they have a death wish?”
