Chapter 69 - 9.10 : A Clash of Pride (1)
The old man was trying to confirm Al’s identity, carrying a small suspicion—what if Dedy had lied to him?
If he’s the real young master... then why wasn’t I told from the start? he thought.
"I and the family’s elite unit were only away for a year, climbing Mount Everest to hone our strength. I had no idea that in just a single year, we suddenly had a new young master..." he said to Vianna and David, expecting an explanation.
David was just about to speak when—
"Whether I’m the real young master or a fake, what business is it of yours to destroy that building?" Al cut in, his tone slightly lazy yet irritated, breaking the silence without even bothering to stand.
The old man turned toward Al. He felt a flicker of annoyance—this boy, whoever he was, seemed to challenge him. Yet, he smiled, radiating arrogance.
"That building wasn’t important. Even if it’s destroyed, it doesn’t matter," he replied firmly. "Do you even know who I am? Huh? Even Master Edward wouldn’t dare scold me, and now you dare lecture me?"
"You don’t know me either. Why should I know you?" Al shot back with a sour face.
"You...!" How dare you.
The old man’s irritation flared, ignoring everyone else, including David and Vianna. He moved forward slowly, channeling energy into his right hand. Once he was standing before Al—
"You think I wouldn’t dare eliminate you, even if you were the true young master? Forget you—I could break Young Master David’s arms and legs if I wanted."
From a distance, David heard those words and knew this person wasn’t just spouting nonsense. A chill ran down his spine at hearing his name mentioned in such a terrifying context.
