Chapter 1686


    Because of his young age and because he had always been favored and pampered at home, Zeno


    had always had a strong desire to prove himself.


    However, he used to only show off and prove himself i n front of his parents, and he never had the


    opportunity to show off in front of his grandfather before. He finally decided to seize and take


    advantage of this opportunity today. He was thinking of discussing and debating his grandfather''s


    idea and proposal with him so that he would have the opportunity to show off his extraordinary


    talents and wisdom. Zeno never expected that he would make Lord Schulz angry just because of


    what he had said. 5


    He was about to open his mouth to exin himself, but before he could even do so, his father,


    Stefan, had already stood up. Stefan raised his hands and gave Zeno a few tight ps across his


    face, left and right in turns. Stefan pped his son until the corners of his mouth were filled with


    blood. Then, he roared in extreme anger, "What is the point of you studying so much when you are


    not any wiser, anyway? You actually dare to question your grandfather''s decision here?!" 5


    "I..." Zeno held his face in his hand, and he felt so aggrieved and seriously wronged that he


    genuinely wished that he could just die here.


    He had never been beaten up like this before. He really could not understand why his father, who


    had always doted on him and spoiled him, would actually p him so badly just because he had


    angered his grandfather by saying the wrong thing. 8


    Besides that, his father had actually pped him in front of the entire family.


    Meanwhile, Stefan was especially furious and frustrated with this good-for-nothing son of his!


    He understood how overbearing the old man could be. Even his elder brother, Sheldon, would not


    dare to stand up and go against the old man, let alone his young and ipetent son? 3


    Even if he wanted to steal the limelight, this was not the way to do it! 2


    It was also very likely that the old man would truly cast him aside, and he would fall out of favor with


    the old man in the future. After graduating from university, Zeno might not even be allowed toe


    back and work for the Schulz family!


    The reason why Lord Schulz was so domineering, overbearing, and had such an autocratic


    behavior, was greatly rted to his experiences when he was growing up. 3


    Cadfan had had many brothers when he was young.


    Back in the past, Cadfan''s father not only had one legal wife, but he also had six other mistresses.


    He


    had had seven wives in total, and all of them had given birth to more than thirty children for him. He


    had had twenty-three sons out of these thirty children! s


    And Cadfan was just one of those twenty-three sons!


    His life had been just like the ancient times where princes would be fighting for the throne. Cadfan


    had also been secretly fighting andpeting with his twenty-two brothers ever since he was a


    child. After fighting for more than fifty years, he had finally inherited the position as the head of the


    Schulz family.


    Therefore, after fifty years of constantpetition and fighting, Cadfan had begun developing a


    very domineering and cruel temperament. 3


    If anyone dared to challenge him or threaten his authority, he would never tolerate it even if it was


    his son or grandson. 2


    Zeno was young and ignorant, and since he was a genius, he dared to confront Lord Schulz


    because he wanted to prove his worth. In everyone''s eyes, this action was no different from seeking


    his death! 4


    After Stefan had pped Zeno more than a dozen times, Zeno could no longer stand straight, and


    he felt as though he was about to faint. At this time, Lord Schulz snorted before he said, "That''s


    enough. You don''t need to hit him anymore. Ask someone to bring him out. We will continue with


    our meeting!" 3


    Stefan''s heart was already hurting because he had to hit his son, but since Lord Schulz had not said


    anything, Stefan had not dared to stop hitting him. 3


    When he saw that the old man had finally spoken up, h e finally stopped hitting his son, and he


    suppressed his heartache and distress before he yelled at the servant standing next to him and


    said, "Hurry up and bring this unfilial son of mine out of this ce!" 2


    Several servants stepped forward immediately as they brought Zeno, who was feeling dizzy and


    vomiting blood, out. 3


    Lord Schulz cleared his throat before he continued," For our coboration and partnership with the


    Japanese this time, we would have to take over at least twenty percent of the operating rights for


    the Tokyo Port, Yokohama Port, and Osaka Port. We also have to ensure that they provide us with


    various freights and oil tankers with a discement of not less than three million tons. Whoever can


    provide us with the most resources will be allowed to be one of us. Therefore, we will have to


    take a good look a t the strength and abilities of the Ito family and the Takahashi family when we go


    to Japan this time.


    Besides that, we will have to force these two families t 0 give us as many resources as they can!" 5Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    At this time, the eldest son, Sheldon, blurted out," Father, I wonder who you are nning to send


    over to deal and work with the two Japanese families this time?"


    Lord Schulz was silent for a moment before he said," Jaime, you are the eldest grandson of my


    eldest son. It is also time for you to take charge. This time, you will take the lead in this matter!” 3


    Jaime was Lord Schulz''s eldest grandson, and he was also Sheldon''s eldest son. He was twenty-


    eight years old this year, and he was the most outstanding male heir of the Schulz family. 7


    As soon as he heard that he had been selected to take the lead, Jaime stood up as he said firmly,


    "Grandpa, you can rest assured. I will definitely go all out to get this done for you!"


    Lord Schulz nodded slightly before his eyes fell on the beautiful and morous girl sitting next to


    Jaime. 2


    It was also at this moment that the old man''s eyes were not so sharp and cold anymore. Instead, it


    was reced with a somewhat pampering and doting look. He smiled as he said, "Sophie, you will


    also be graduating from Yale soon. It is time for you to go out and develop some skills and gain


    some experience as well. You can go with your brother this time. You should watch and learn more


    from him so that you can umte some experience too!" 5


    The beautiful and morous girl stood up before she bowed slightly. She had a lukewarm look and


    expression in her eyes as she replied indifferently," Okay, grandpa. I understand."
