Chapter 216


    Henry quickly pointed at Mason and eximed, “It is the esteemed person right here.”The doctor


    frowned when he smelled the pungent smell from Mason’s body, even through the mask he had


    on.“Please remove your shirt. I will take a reading of your heart rate,” he instructed despite the


    difort.Everyone in the room almost threw up the moment Mason took off his top.How in the world


    could there be such a putrid smell?!All the Wynns began to wonder how realistic he was willing to go


    even though he was only putting on an act.He honestly smelled like he hadn’t taken a shower in at


    least three years.Kingsley almostughed out loud when he saw how hard Henry and the rest of them


    were trying to hold back when they almost gagged.“Please enjoy yourselves, Old Master Henry.” He


    couldn’t help but pat Henry on the shoulder. “I am off to keep my sisterpany.”He proceeded to


    leave right after saying that.The Wynns, however, didn’t dare move an inch from their positions. They


    had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay with Mason as he went through one examination after


    another.…Time passed in a jiffy, and one week had passed by at just the blink of an eye.After Reene


    was discharged from the hospital, she returned home to recover while she dealt with work from the


    company that had piled up.Mason, on the other hand, lived the whole week like a king at the Wynn


    Manor.Throughout the week, the Wynn Family served him like he was royalty.He had the whole


    household wait on his hand and foot.Under their meticulous care, Mason’s invisible injuries and


    illnesses that had umted over the years have begun to heal.However, he never once mentioned


    forgiving the Wynns.While he did his best at enjoying the luxurious life there, the Wynns were hit by


    misfortunes that came one after another.Just when the rk Corporation was jointly suppressed by a


    group of prominent leaders, the June Bank in Cleapolis issued a statement that the rk Corporation


    had been practicing improper operation, and their assets had shrunk tremendously to the point it had


    exceeded the estimated risk at the time of the loan.They would have to pay off the loan, plus the


    principal and interest of 50 million to the bank within 10 days.Upon receiving this news, Henry let out a


    small gasp and immediately fainted.He couldn’t get 50 million even if the wholepany was sold off!If


    the bank were to apply for property preservation at the court, he might have to lose the family’s vi,


    cars, savings, antique calligraphy and paintings. In short, he would lose it all. Having no other choice,


    rence invited Mason to the living room, and knelt down with a thud.“Ares, the God of War… I… I


    implore you to go easy on our family…”Since there was no one else around, he had directly called


    Mason by his nickname.rence’s face was wet with snot and tears, but his words puzzled Mason.


    Just who is this God of War he’s talking about?Mason had been out of his mind these few years, but he


    had never heard of a so-called “God of War”.After pondering for a moment, he decided he might as


    well y along no matter who Ares was, since the Wynns believed that he was who they thought he


    was.And so, Mason impassively shook his head. “One of your children has hurt me. How can I let you


    go so easily?”Hearing that, rence began to wail in despair. “My son is now a cripple and he has


    already been punished! Why don’t you let us go?!”“Why is a man like you crying?!” Mason’s eyebrows


    pulled together into a frown. “Tell me what happened.”“B-Because we rubbed you the wrong way, w-we


    were jointly sanctioned by a group of business leaders in Cleapolis. Even our biggest investor has


    withdrawn their shares. The rk Corporation doesn’t have money now, and our goods aren’t selling.”


    rence wiped his tears and continued, “That is not even the worst part. Just this morning, we


    received a notice from the June Bank, asking us to pay our 50-million loan with added interest. We


    don’t even have so much m-money!”“You are quite pitiful indeed.” Mason sighed after hearing the


    words rence babbled tearfully.“So why don’t you let us go…” rence looked at Mason with


    pleading eyes. “Just one word from you, the God of War, and those big shots will withdraw the


    sanction. You will be giving the rk Corporation a way out.”Mason shook his head and thought, Too


    bad the Wynns got the wrong person. I am not the God of War at all!Thinking of this, he asked


    rence, “Well, how about I give you an idea that might help your family get over the


    hump?”rence’s eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that, and he urged, “Please do!”“Ever heard of


    what a scapegoat is?” Mason leaned against the sofa and unhurriedly suggested, “Find someone who


    owes you a favor, and get them to repay you for your past kindness. Let them be responsible over your


    mess of apany. It doesn’t matter how much money you sell it for. At this point, every penny


    counts.”rence didn’t say anything in reply after hearing Mason’s words.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
