Chapter 729



It was obvious that King had taken advantage of the two families struggling to raise the price in the deal three days ago. The ultimate beneficiary was King.

Whichever way he looked at it, he couldn’t admit that he had been unfair and had cheated Bear. Therefore, Philip was sure that King would target Ian in the group.

The others couldn’t say the deal was unfair.

Ian instantly became the target.

If King acted now, he would definitely be on Philip’s side.

Nora was thinking about how to help Ian resolve the situation and make the atmosphere less awkward when she saw….

King: [Would a normal person spend $45 billion on the Hunts’ stock worth only a few billion?].

The others agreed with King’s comment and instantly sent a message to the group.

Rabbit: [King is right].

Wolf: [King is right].

Nora was also writing a message. [Eagle is also not saying that King is unfair. It is clear that it is Bear who is creating problems in the group…]. She was typing and wanted to say a few words for Ian when she suddenly realized the meaning of King’s message. She was dazed and confused.

Why was this King behaving differently than usual?

He had clearly made a huge profit three days ago and had taken advantage of Bear, but now he was still out to taunt him? This was completely against his principle of peace!

He was simply making enemies.

gⱯlnσν𝓮ℓs․cøm brings endless adventures Nora was shocked.

Back at distant Smith Village, Ian was stunned. He was prepared to express that this was not what he meant. At best, he would apologize to King and Bear.

After all, everyone in the group was important. Besides, in the past, even if King didn’t smooth things over, he would warn them to be careful with their words.

But why had King suddenly become so straight-laced?

When he said this, Ian was genuinely shocked.

Philip, who was overseas, was even more stunned.

After spending $45 billion, he had really been very unhappy. However, he dared not lose his temper with King, so he could only vent all his anger on Eagle.

After all, Eagle was an American. Eagle could be Justin himself.

During the period when Eagle joined the Imperial League, the Hunts were the number one family in New York.

That’s why he suddenly launched an attack against him in the group. The goal was to get everyone in the group to reject him.

Also… His account was one of the first six to join the Imperial League when it was created!

Although he didn’t dare to be called the richest man in the world, since no one knew how much money King had, Philip was really invincible overseas.

Even King had given him some face in the past. In the group, if King was first, Philip would be second.

Therefore, no one had expected King to suddenly attack Philip.

What did that mean?

Philip was furious. [King, did he send the wrong message? Or was his account hacked? What does he mean?].

Nora was also thinking about what King meant when she saw him say another phrase to the group. [It means your IQ is very low].

The group instantly fell silent.

After all, if the first and second big shot were fighting, who would dare to interrupt them?

Even Ian felt confused for a moment.

King sent another message: [I sell you my shares not because Eagle is poor, but because he is smarter than you and not easy to fool].

At the Smith villa, when Ian saw this sentence, he couldn’t help but sit up straight. On his face was an expression of satisfaction at having been recognized.

He smiled and sent a message in the group.

Eagle: [Mr. King, you think too highly of me].

King: [You are worth it, sir].

The whole group: “???”

Why did the word ‘sir’ suddenly become so significant?

The people in the group instantly fell silent.

In the past, Eagle didn’t get much respect in the group. After all, he was considered a newcomer to the group.

But now, King was speaking so highly of Eagle. Could it be that King had instructed Eagle to raise the price yesterday and his goal was to deceive Bear?

This…

Bear was furious. [King, what do you mean?]

King: [What’s the point of bullying a small New York family? What are the principles of the Imperial League? You’ve openly tried to break them, don’t blame me for being ruthless!].

The principles of the Imperial League…

Nora thought about it. The Imperial League group page clearly stated that they were not to bully the weak.

But!

In the first place, was Justin weak?

Secondly. Over the years, the Imperial League had wanted to expand their influence, so how could they not bully others?

They all had control of the global economy, so everyone was fine. Why did King suddenly mention this principle?

Everyone was confused.

However, Philip was indeed Philip.

Offending King would not end well for him.

The reason King had a dominant status in the group was that he was the leader.

He was the one taking everyone forward step by step. Philip had to stick up for him. So when he saw that King had given a reasonable explanation, Philip dared not insist any further. He lowered his head in the group. Philip: [I forgot to explain. I have a personal grudge against the Hunts].

King: [Since it’s a personal grudge, then this $45 billion is worth it].

Bear: [You’re right].

Through the screen, Nora could feel Philip’s anger. However, his indulgence made Nora alert again.

At Philip’s level, it was easy for him to play with people.

Just like he could imprison Iris for 20 years with a single thought.

However, he was precisely a person used to being arrogant, but he was being so adaptable. In fact, he was one of the rulers of the few mysterious and powerful families in the world!

Seeing that there were no more messages in the group, Nora finally hung up her phone.

When she looked up again, she heard Cherry yell “Mom” in a childish voice. Cherry was usually very flattering and had a sweet mouth, but it always seemed to her that her words were insincere.

However, the most attached to Nora was Cherry.

After not seeing her for three days, the little girl was no longer playing. She hugged Nora’s thigh and wouldn’t let go. “Mommy, I miss you so much, I haven’t eaten or drank well these last few days!”. Pete, who ran with her, reminded her, “That’s called not wanting to eat or drink. Besides, I don’t think you’ve eaten any less.”

Cherry immediately looked at him and boldly explained, “That’s why I didn’t say I didn’t eat, I said I didn’t eat right!”.

Pete: “…”

Nora touched Pete’s head and then looked at Xander, who was sitting on the couch and looking at her excitedly.

The little guy was very proud. It was clear he was looking over, but he kept pretending he didn’t care. It was amusing.

Nora reached over and rubbed his head. “Does Xander miss Mommy?”

“Tsk!” Xander rolled his eyes. “You’re too corny. I’m not that childish!”

Even though he said that, he didn’t turn his head away from her.

Pete immediately rolled his eyes. “So who’s the one who asks almost every day why mommy sleeps so long?”.

Xander: “?”

His face instantly turned red and he snorted, “I was afraid she was going to die!”

“You’re not allowed to curse Mom!” Cherry put on a furious expression.

Pete frowned as well. “Don’t talk such nonsense, how could Mom die? You’re talking nonsense.”

Xander pursed his lips. “I was just saying. It’s not like she really…”

He still didn’t say the word ‘die’.

The three boys huddled and argued. That got Pete talking more. Cherry’s ADHD had recovered even without the game, and it also made Xander not hate this family so much.

Nora checked Xander’s body again. When she saw that he was okay, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Justin still had some work stuff to sort out, so he went to the den. Nora was downstairs playing with the three children.

She looked at Xander and suddenly asked him, “Xander, do you want to change your name?”.

Xander was stunned and looked at her, “What name should I change? There’s no need to change it. It doesn’t make sense.”

Nora hesitated and said, “But you’re mine and Justin’s son. You can choose whether you want your last name to be Smith or Hunt.”

Xander immediately pursed his lips. “I don’t want my last name to be Smith. I don’t want my last name to be Hunt either.”

Hearing this, Nora was stunned. “Why?”

Xander’s eyes flickered instantly. “Geez, why are you so annoying! I’ve been calling myself Xander Yale for five years, why do I have to change my name? I’m not changing it.” With that, he jumped up angrily and ran up the stairs.

Nora frowned.

Why was Xander so sensitive and against changing his name?

Was he hiding something?

Or was he still…

Nora sighed quietly. Trueman had raised him for five years. If she still had feelings for Trueman, it was a real pain in the ass. After all, she couldn’t forcefully change Xander’s thoughts and feelings.

As she thought, Pete said, “Mommy, don’t be mad. I know why you don’t want to change your name.”
