Chapter 740


    "How dare he trick my son?!" Furious, Fabian''s fists tightened. “No one dared to even intervene. He


    was the Drake family''s bodyguard, after all. How dare this guy still act so arrogantly after he’s been


    sacked by the Drake family!"


    Logan frowned and said, ‘This guy is out of his mind. He even disregarded Young Master Drake’s plea


    for the young master''s behalf. Young Master Drake asked Fane to give him face and just take five


    hundred million from our young master, but this idiot refused!”


    "Haha! So there''s such a person like this who doesn''t understand the world, huh?" The young man who


    sat with Fabian stood up. “Who''s this person? For a bodyguard, the man has quite a temper. Moreover,


    isn''t he afraid that the Drake family will deal with him now that he’s offended Young Master Drake?"


    With a bitter smile on his face, Fabian responded, "Oh you have no idea, my nephew. This guy is Fane


    Woods, the son-in w who married into the Taylor family. He''s also a retired soldier like you, but it


    seems that he failed to obtain any title within these five years. He told everybody that he had a token


    but had lost it on the way back home, so there''s no proof. There are rumors that he''s just a head


    Logan then piped in, "Who knows if he really is a headmander. Everybody thinks that he wasn’t


    lying when he imed to be that, as he''s quite skillful. Nheless, this guy really has very good


    medical skills as he had saved the Goddess of War Lana before. The Goddess of War had already


    repaid him, though. The reason he''s so crazy might be because he still thinks that the Goddess of War


    owes him her life, and nobody dares offend him because of that!"


    Fabian touched the tip of his nose. “This is so troublesome. We can’t kill this guy since he’s done quite


    the favor for the Goddess of War. What if shees for us if anything happens to him?"


    The young man smiled coldly. "But we can''t really pay him one billion, right? Wouldn’t that make us


    cowardly in his eyes?" The man then fell into his thoughts before he offered, "I have an idea, Uncle. I’ll


    follow you there, and we''ll just pay him five hundred million. If he insists on getting paid a billion bucks,


    I''ll show him who’s boss and burst his bubble. He needs to understand that there are masters better


    than him!"


    Fabian''s eyes lit up when he heard his suggestion; this was what he wanted. He wanted this rtive of


    his to take action, but he was afraid his nephew-now an honorable marshal—would turn him down.


    It was music to Fabian''s ears when his nephew mentioned it himself that he would tag along, without


    him begging.


    "Great! It''s definitely wonderful to have you on our side." Fabian nodded, pleased at this. "I don''t think


    the other bodyguards need toe with us as they''ll be useless there." They soon left in their car—


    with Logan as the driver—and headed for the mall.


    "Why aren’t they here yet?" Leo grew increasingly depressed when he observed Fane improving


    continuously as he yed with his femalepanions.

    It was one whole billion. What could he do about it?


    He wondered if his father would be angry when he heard about his bet gone wrong.


    He felt that Fane had been lying to him since the beginning. Fane might have been a master at billiards


    but purposely acted as if he knew nothing. How could he have improved so quickly if that was not the


    case?


    Leo was lost in his anxiety and fretting when Fabian walked into the billiard hall with the marshal and


    their bodyguard, Logan.


    “Father, why... Why did you only bring two people here?" Leo’s facial expression darkened when he


    saw his fathering over with only two people. It seemed that his father hadpromised and paid


    Fane the money. He had hoped his father would put up a fight and bring more bodyguards t o beat


    Fane up.
