Chapter 418


    After Betty had thrown out so many hints, would they realize who Chuck was now?


    Leonardo was stunned. He still didn''t know who Chuck was exactly. He genuinely didn''t know much


    because he wasn''t sure who ran thepany that manufactured the piece of alloy in his hand.


    Therefore, how could he know which family Chuck belonged to?


    While he may not have known who they were, he knew that Chuck''s parents were definitely a force


    to be reckoned with.


    He knew that by running such a hugepany, the rewards must be limitless. Furthermore, the


    technology they developed had paved the way for the development of the future.


    Frankly, Chuck''s parents were so much more capable than the Allen family.


    "Grandpa..." Some of the Allen family members were still confused at their grandfather''s silence.


    What was happening?


    What had rendered Leonardo into such a trance? This had never happened before.


    After all, the Allen family was very powerful. There was little that could faze the master of their


    family.


    "Grandpa, what''s that?" someone asked, walking over. He was really curious!


    He muttered, "Isn''t it just a piece of scrap? Doesn''t look like anything impressive to me at all."


    How could it cause Leonardo to react like this?


    Leonardo eventually nced up at Chuck, whose face was devoid of any emotions. Then, he got


    out of his chair and started to walk up to him slowly, sending the Allen family''s descendants into


    frozen shock.


    What was he doing?


    Had he just gotten out of his chair for these strangers?


    This was something that none of the other three families had managed to do.


    All the Allen family''s descendants were taken aback by it.


    "Are his parents the owners of this piece of alloy?" Leonardo asked. He really couldn''t bear to hear


    the answer if it was an affirmative one. If that were so, Chuck''s parents'' fortune must be through the


    roof. It would be impossible to estimate just how many assets they actually had.


    Leonardo knew that his family had invested a lot of money in the United States techpany.


    However, hispany inparison to Chuck''s was nothing but a speck of dust. He had a deep


    understanding of the numerous difficulties techpanies had to face. If anyone had invested in


    such a techpany that was listed as one of the top three in America, they would have at least


    made more than all of the Allen family''s wealthbined.


    It was simply astounding.


    This meant that Chuck''s parents were wealthy.


    "You''re right," Betty answered faintly.


    Leonardo inhaled sharply at the answer.


    It had suddenly dawned on him. So, that was why the people Chuck brought in could overwhelm his


    family''s guards so easily. Chuck''s family was so much more capable than his!


    He also understood why Chuck had the audacity to even bring his people to the Allen family''s


    household and why he wasn''t afraid to beat Landon up. He didn''t even look fazed when he had


    been attacked by hundreds of people just now...


    It was clear to Leonardo now. Chuck''s family was definitely richer, and therefore more powerful than


    the Allen family. It was a simple conclusion.


    "Grandpa, help me! It hurts so much," Landon cried out. He had been pped by Betty several


    times in front of so many members of the Allen family. She had singlehandedly taken away his


    dignity.


    When Leonardo finally made his way over to them, he raised his boney arm in preparation for a


    p.


    "Thwack!"


    The smacknded hard on Landon''s already bruised face.


    Landon and the rest of the Allen family at the scene were stupefied by this, their mouths gaped


    open in disbelief.


    What had happened? Why did Leonardo hit his own grandson?


    "Grandpa, why did you hit me?" Landon questioned in shock. He felt like he was in a dream, but the


    searing pain that he could clearly feel all over his face told him otherwise.


    "You b*stard, what have you done?" Leonardo scolded him loudly.


    "Swish!" He hit Landon once more.


    Every member of the Allen family was astounded by this development.


    What was wrong with Leonardo? Was he not going to protect his own family in front of strangers?


    "Grandpa..." Landon could not help but feel wronged. Leonardo had just pped him in front of so


    many people! How could he do this?


    "Smack!"


    Leonardo pped him again and yelled, "You still can''t keep your mouth shut?!"


    "Grandpa, what are you doing? Stop hitting me! What about them? Get people to beat them up


    instead!" Landon wept as he pointed at Chuck and Betty.


    "Whack!"


    "You b*stard!"


    Leonardo was almost out of breath himself after the fierce berating.


    The hall had fallen extremely quiet.


    "What''s the point of prolonging the fight? You obviously know how this will end," Betty said.


    Leonardo bit down on his tongue and asked, "Then, what do you want?"


    "First, I want you to sign this contract," Betty said as she handed it over.


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    "Alright. I''ll return the four billion dors ordingly as well." Leonardo had never expected such


    words toe out of his own mouth.


    "What? Grandpa, are you mad? Why are you doing this? This is absurd!" one of the members of the


    Allen family yelled out, startled.


    This could only mean one thing. Their grandfather was actually surrendering to others!


    They couldn''t believe this.


    "Grandpa..." Landon was bewildered at what he was seeing. He still thought that Chuck hade


    here in desperation. However, Leonardo''s reaction to the situation had disrupted such thoughts.


    Could Chuck''s family really be more powerful than his own?


    It was impossible! The Allen family was one of the Four Greatest Households in the country!


    Zelda was dumbfounded as well. As the Allen family''s master, how could Leonardo surrender


    himself like that to Chuck? Was Chuck really that capable?


    "Young Master, what do you think?" Betty asked Chuck. If Karen were here, she would definitely


    refuse to ept the money back.


    "You don''t have to return the money, just sign the contract. I''ve bought the hotel from you fair and


    square," Chuck said.


    Betty was gratified by his answer. Karen would have made the same decision as well. He was


    indeed his mother''s son.


    "Fine," Leonardo spared a look at Chuck and signed it immediately.


    After that, Betty put it away.


    "Landon, you''ve made a fool out of my young master. You''ll be getting what''sing to you now.


    Come, break his legs!" Betty ordered.


    "What did you just say?" Leonardo yelled furiously at that.


    "Thwack!"


    Betty raised her hand and pped him, Leonardo, the master of the Allen family!


    The other members of the Allen family continued to watch on quietly in shock, along with the rest of


    the Allen family guards surrounding them.


    "Grandpa! Hey, what the hell did you do?!"


    The Allen family''s descendants eximed as they could not believe the audacity of this woman!


    Leonardo''s face was still burning with pain. With a raise of his hand, he silenced the hall.


    Betty red and walked closer to him. "Leonardo, haven''t you heard of Karen Lee when you were


    in the States?"


    "What?" Leonardo gasped. He was confounded by the mention of Karen''s name.


    Of course, he had heard of her. When he was in the United States, he was aware of the Lee family.


    They were one of the Four Greatest Households in the world!


    He had heard that the master of the Lee family had a daughter who was very charming. At the time,


    he had wanted to make his way into the Lee family and marry Karen. But she had ignored him, thus


    he couldn''t do anything about it!


    After all, the Four Greatest Households in this countrypared to the Big Four in the whole world


    could hardly bepared to each other! It was no wonder that they had the money to invest in such


    a tech giant.


    "You mean, he''s a Lee..." Leonardo asked in a low voice.


    "Yes, that''s right. Tell me, what''s the Allen family to them?" Betty asked.


    Leonardo was at a loss of words, letting out a sigh in defeat. Yes,pared to a world-ss family,


    his family was nothing.


    He knew the limits of his own family. Aside from the other three influential families in the country, he


    didn''t take any other families seriously. He could do whatever he wanted, no matter the


    consequence. But now, the tables have turned. They were the ones who weren''t taken seriously this


    time.


    Leonardo''s confidence had all but dissipated.


    "I don''t wish to repeat myself. Your grandson has offended my young master. So, he has to have his


    legs broken!" Betty scowled.


    Leonardo was in a dilemma now. He nced at Landon, who was still in a state of shock. He gritted


    his teeth and was ready to order one of his men to do the job but Betty shook her head at him. "No,


    you do it."


    "Me?" he inquired out loud.


    "Do you have a problem with that?"


    Leonardo clenched his jaw and started to step towards Landon. Just as everyone was looking on in


    a daze, he picked up an iron bat and hit Landon''s leg hard.


    "Ah!" Landon shrieked.


    He widened his eyes and looked down at his unnaturally bent legs. He promptly sank to the ground,


    his eyes slowly falling shut. He had passed out on the ground.


    He couldn''t believe his own grandfather had struck him.


    The rest of the Allen family werepletely bbergasted by the absurdity of the situation.


    "What happened? Grandpa''s gone mad..."


    They muttered among themselves, all confused by what they had just witnessed. How could


    Leonardo side with outsiders and beat up his own grandson in their territory?


    "Not bad." Betty nodded at Leonardo then looked back at Chuck and asked, "Young Master, what


    do you think?"


    "I think it''s time to wrap up here," Chuck nced at Landon as he said. He thought that this old fool


    should have already acknowledged just how capable he really was by now.


    "Okay. Should we head home now?" Betty asked.


    Chuck had no objections to that. He really wanted to go back to sleep. He turned to Zelda and said,


    "Sister Zelda, let''s go."


    "Okay," Zelda agreed mutely. She couldn''t snap out of her daze at all. This all felt like a dream.


    Someone had brought a whole group of people to the Allen family''s household and managed to


    make the head of the family break his own grandson''s leg. If news of this was spread, everyone in


    the country would be thrown into a shock!


    Zelda followed behind Chuck with a nk look on her face. He suddenly turned his head, sparing


    the speechless Allen family a look, and threatened, "Keep your eyes open and remember today. If


    any of you dare take me as a fool next time, I swear I''ll wipe the Allen family off the face of this


    earth!"


    Chuck''s fury was much to behold.
