    Chapter 117


    With a smug look on her face, Ellinor said, “I’m not telling you!”


    Byran red at her unhappily, “Whatever, bber if you want! I don’t have time for you right now! Ill


    deal with you when I’m freet


    With that he hustled off as if he had some pressing maller


    Ellinor turned her head in search of She, only to find that she was gone. She and the middle–aged


    man had disappeared


    She looked around but there was still no sign of She. Instead, she saw a group of young guys


    around Byran’s age, hot on Byran’s tail


    “There’s Byran! He’s heading that way!”


    “Get him!”


    “Byran, stop‘ No hiding!”


    Byran picked up the pace, darting out of the banquet hall, only to be cornered in the hallway by the


    group.


    “Byran, are you a man or not? Can’t admit that you lost?”


    There was nowhere left for Byran to go. He red at them, “I never denied it!”


    “Well then, ept the consequences of losing the bet! You lost the game to us, now fulfill the


    agreement!”


    Byran retorted defiantly. “I didn’t lose! I yed fair and you guys cheated!”


    The ring leader, Julius Gaye, smirked, “When we started the game, no one said we couldn’t use special


    tactics!”


    With that, he waved the bet agreement in front of Byran, “You signed this. You lost the game we agreed


    upon, so hand over the ownership of Pearl Moon to our family. Byran’s face darkened. “Although Pearl


    Moon belongs to us, I can’t decide its ownership. I can’t fulfill this bet”


    Julius sneered at him,ughing scornfully, “Why would you bet on something you can’t deliver? Weren’t


    you all high and mighty iming that everything of the Howard family’s is at your disposal? Turns out it


    was all hot air!”


    Byran’s face grew even more sour, he spat out angrily, “You guys ganged up on me, that’s the only


    reason I lost!”


    “A loss is a loss! No excuses! Julius‘ smirk turned malicious. ‘So, you can’t fulfill the bet? F Out of


    respect for our familles‘ long–standing rtionship, I won’t push you Just kneel down here and call


    each of us grandpa‘, then I’ll tear up this agreement in front of you, and we’ll call it quits!”


    “You Byran’s eyes were ame with anger.


    “Are you gonna do it? If not, I’ll take this agreement to your father or brother! I’m curious to see if all the


    men in the Howard family are as irresponsible and devoid of honor as you!


    “No! Please.”


    Byran was panicking. He didn’t want his father and brother to be ckmailed because of his mistake.


    “Fine! I’ll call you Grandpa. He took a deep breath, bowed his head, and prepared to…


    Suddenly. Byran yelled out, “Dream on!”


    With that, he threw a punch at Julius.


    Julius took the punch, then shoved Byran against the wall, “You dare hit me! Come on, everyone hit


    him! Hit him until he apologizes!!


    Byran fell to the floor, clutching his stomach, which had been hit hard, with a cold sweat pouring down


    his face.


    Julius arrogantlyughed, “Apologize to me and beg me for mercy! Only then will I let you go!”


    Byran curled up on the floor, gritting his teeth as he red at him, “In your dreams!”


    “Still defiant? Guys, keep hitting him! Hit him hard!”


    “Ah…”


    “Let him go.”


    A girl’s calm and icy voice echoed.


    The guys led by Julius halted their attack. They turned around
