Lou and Hector were Preston Baleâs subordinates. Standing at nearly two meters tall, the bodies of
both large men emanated large amounts of blood energy. At
one glance, one could tell they were experts at using inner force and that they had a high level of
martial arts
cultivation. The two of them stepped into Sanctuary Shrine, one on each side. Just as they were about
to close
the door, Queenie Bell rushed in. She had absolute confidence in Preston Bale. Regardless of who
showed up, they would be facing misfortune!
Bam! Bam!
The two vermilion colored doors were slammed shut. At the same time, the lights inside were turned
on. With
a total of nine electric lamps, the interior seemed as bright as day. Waltz Fleur and the rest, who had
gotten used to the dark, found it hard to open their eyes all of a sudden. Meanwhile, Queenie was able
to see Alex clearly. She cried out in shock and took two steps back while she
pointed at him and trembled.
âItâs⦠Itâs you!â Thanks to Queenieâs surprised expression, Preston did not answer Waltzâs question but
instead looked over at
Alex. He thought that Alex might have been someone significant, but the result turned out to be a huge
disappointment. Alex seemed to be a weak piece of trash that Preston could kill with a single slap.
He immediately started laughing coldly.
âBaby, do you know this imbecile?â When Queenie heard what Preston said, she immediately felt calm.
âThatâs right I have Mr. Bale to back me
up now. Heâs an incredibly powerful person whoâs significantly stronger than my godfather, Lord Bale.
Why
should I be afraid of this Rockefeller guy?â she thought. âMr. Bale, this fellow is the son of the boss of
Lush Cosmetics. Heâs the one who inflicted the parasitic
disease on Lord Bale.
You mustnât forgive him easily, Mr. Bale. You must torture him severely and take over
Lush Cosmetics. With Lush Cosmetics, weâd be able to create a huge business empire. Earning 100
billion
dollars a year wouldnât be a problem,â Queenie immediately gushed. Preston initially did not take things
seriously, but his eyes snapped wide open after hearing what Queenie said. âAre you sure? Did you
mean 100 billion dollars, or did you add two zeroes behind the figure?â Preston
asked.
âIâm certain, Mr. Bale. You have no idea how popular Lush Cosmetics is, and you donât know how easy
it is
to make money off women. Now, Lush Cosmeticsâ scale hasnât expanded yet. Once it spreads to the
entire
country, then to overseas, its business model would make 100 billion dollars a year, a conservative
estimate,â
said Queenie.
After listening to what Queenie said, Preston was truly shocked. He wrapped his arms around Queenie
and gave her a nibble on the lips. âGreat! Queenie, you really are my
best supporter! From now on, you will be my left and right arms, instrumental in my creation of a
business
empire.
With my elder brother now dead, Iâm not interested in managing Hydra Group. Moving forward, you
will become its new master moving forward, and youâll only have to serve me alone! Take care of Lush
Cosmetics with all your might, and I will give you anything you want in the future,â Preston said. He was
extremely excited!
Who wouldnât be excited at the prospect of earning 100 billion dollars a year?
Preston needed to spend a lot on his cultivation too.
With an endless supply of money, he wouldnât have to
sneak around, riskily breeding demonic Wisteria fetus in this Sanctuary Shrine. Unabashedly, the two
discussed how they would use money belonging to Alexâs family as if nobody else was
around.
They made it sound as if Lush Cosmetics had already belonged to the Bale family. Alex felt speechless
for a while. âAre you two awake now?â he asked suddenly. Preston looked at Alex as if he was looking
at a pile of shiny, green bills. âYoung fellow, it turns out that
youâre worth quite a lot of money. Itâs a good thing. If you hand over your familyâs Lush Cosmetics, I
could
spare your life,â he said, chuckling. âWhere is Lord Lex Gunther? Iâm here now. Can you hand him over
to us?â asked Alex. When Preston and Queenie heard this, they were stunned for a moment.
The next second, Preston smacked his
own head. âAre you Master Rockefeller? Hahaha. Itâs terribly funny. I thought youâre some powerful
person. Youâre actually just a fraud!â
âD*mn it I wanted to absorb Master Rockefellerâs powers to make myself stronger. It turns out heâs a
fake. However, with the surprising appearance of Lush Cosmetics, itâs still worth it.â
Preston thought. Preston laughed while he spoke. âLord Lex Gunther? Heâs outside in the car trunk.
But this old thing has
already killed himself.â
âWhat did you say?â
Waltzâs heart instantly clenched up.
She began to run outside. âLou, Hector, take her down!â Preston waved his hand. Immediately, Lou and
Hector started pouncing on Waltz. Granny Silvan, however, stepped forward to block their way. âTo hell
with you!â she yelled.
