Chapter 0004

“What a pity! It seemed that you only lasted for... five seconds, half of ten.” Ryvan put down the swords and walked down calmly.

All of the audience were dumbfounded, including the Brandall sisters.

Arabella was shocked. She thought Bruce would win the race, but unexpectedly...

However, doubtful voices keep ringing out!

“Jesus! What happened?”

“Impossible, he must have played dirty tricks!”

“That’s right, shame of you!”

“......”

They didn’t believe that a layman could defeat the man that they admired.

“Enough! He has won.” Bruce spoke loudly, causing the pain in the chest.

“Freak! His strength is like that of a monster.” He rubbed the injured area.

Bruce realized that his plan to embarrass Ryvan had bankrupted, but he wouldn’t forget the disgrace that Ryvan brought him.

A cruel idea occurred to him and a sinister smile flashed across his face.

It is useless to have strong personal strength while money can buy everything, including one’s life!

However, Bruce praised Ryvan, seeming that he didn’t care about the result. “Ryvan, you are really of great strength!”

Everyone was moved by his generosity.

“How generous! Sis, Bruce is so cool. But that guy Ryvan is disgusting. Though he won, he mocked Bruce.”

Arabella agreed with her, so she smiled to Bruce to show her support. But when she met Ryvan’s gaze, she glared at him displeasedly.

She also suspected that Ryvan had used some dirty tricks to win.

Bruce was delighted due to Arabella’s encouragement, and he then looked at Ryvan with mockery and contempt, as if he were saying, “Even though you win, you are still a loser!”

“Let's move on to this, Arabella, Mr. Claire will hold a banquet for a big shot tonight, and I’ve got the invitation. Would you like to go there with me together?”Bruce asked with expectation.

Upon hearing it, Arabella's eyes lit up, saying, “Certainly! I've heard so much about it. It's supposed to be a grand affair.”

She was excited because if she could attend the banquet, it might help Brandall Medicine get cooperation with more business tycoons.

However, her flaming passion about the future business for the company was quickly extinguished.

Ryvan suddenly interjected, “The banquet won’t be held.”

The room fell silent for a few seconds before everyone burst into thunderous laughter.

Arabella was very annoyed with his words, thinking he’s talking nonsense again.

But as her husband in name, Ryvan was damaging the reputation of Brandall.

Lilith thought his brother-in-law was an idiot, lying only to gain her elder sister’s attention.

How childish!

“You're just a poor church rat, Ryvan. Why are you sure of that?”Bruce couldn't help but chuckle because it sounded ridiculous to him.

““Why not call someone to ask if Dave really cancelled the banquet?” Ryvan suggested.

Both Arabella and Lilith felt embarrassed this time, and Lilith whispered to her elder sister, “Sis, What is your poor husband doing? Stop him...”

Arabella glared at Ryvan, warning him, “Enough, Ryvan. Don’t talk nonsense anymore!”

Then she turned to Bruce, “Bruce, I’d like to be there with you tonight. Thank you for the opportunity.”

“We’re friends, aren’t we?” Bruce showed her a charming smile.

He had already planned to get her drunk tonight, and then everything would fall into place.

Meanwhile, Bruce’s phone suddenly rang. His father called him.

“My father is calling me, and he must inform me of attending the banquet.” Bruce said proudly.

But after he picked up the call and his father’s voice came sounded, “Bruce, the banquet has been canceled.”

Bruce was stunned. He even wondered if he was dreaming.

But unfortunately not, all the people there had heard the news.

They turned to Ryvan, who had predicted it, feeling confused.

Who’s he? What is his real identity? Why can he get the first-hand news?

Arabella went to him and asked, “Ryvan, tell me, where did you get the news?”

“I’ve told you before that I know many big shots in the world, and Dave Claire is one of my subordinates. He held the banquet for me but I refused, so he canceled it. That’s it.”

The room fell silent again, but they didn’t burst out laughing this time.

Because they didn’t want to laugh at a delusional fool.

Arabella stomped her feet angrily, thinking Ryvan was bragging again.

She felt really disappointed at him and didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

“Big talker!” Bruce snorted, and then he continued, “He only guessed it right. But as for the reason, why did Mr. Claire cancel it, he said it wrongly.”

“I just received a message from my father that Miss Claire, daughter of Mr. Claire, her condition worsened suddenly.” Bruce announced.

“What? It’s indeed a big deal.”

“No wonder the banquet was canceled”

“Even someone was trying to deceive us. What a joke!”

Arabella was also getting more and more disappointed at her husband; while Lilith felt satisfied with it because she reached her purpose.

Seeing that no one believed him, Ryvan gave up explaining.

He had something much more important to do!

Ryvan just received a message from Dave, who asked him for help to save his dear daughter’s life.

“Bella, I get something important to deal with. I’m leaving first.” Ryvan said, his expression serious.

But Arabella thought he must be trying to escape because of the disclosure of his big words.

She despised him even worse as she saw the figure of his departure...
