Back From Prison! Chapter 207: The Hundred Million Deal. (2)
About ten minutes later, Derek's phone rang again.As soon as he hastily answered, Ryder's voice came from the other end: “Mr. Farrer agreed to meet that young aristocrat. When will you two arrive at Slab?""Around seven in the evening.” Derek muttered, doing quick mental calculations."Okay, call me when you get there. I will send the address."Jonathan had predicted this outcome. Who could resist the allure of a hundred million?Even if Farrer harbored doubts, he would agree to meet them in the initial stages.As the afternoon rolled in, Jonathan, idly playing with his phone in his room, was interrupted by a knock on the door."Who is it?""Jonathan, it's me."Almira.Jonathan rose to his feet, opened the door, and softly asked Almira: “What brings you here?"Almira responded with a faint smile: “Can't I come in for a chat?""Come in!"Jonathan didn't refuse, stepping aside to let Almira in.Once inside, Almira immediately revealed her distress: “Jonathan, you must help me. If I don

Bang!Suddenly, Ryder barged in."What on earth are you doing?" Farrer fumed just as Ryder reappeared, setting him off instantly.Ryder hastily blurted out: “Mr. Farrer, Conal has arrived.""How does he know I am here?"Farrer was puzzled but didn't dwell on it: "I'm entertaining a guest. Ask him to wait a while."Conal, a wealthy and influential man in Slab, had not yet earned the right to boss Farrer around. Now, with a potential gold mine in front of him, who had time to entertain him?Running out of patience, Farrer left a terse command and continued to deceive Jonathan: "Young Wang, you should at least try investing ten or twenty million. You must not be aware of the current situation. Many people want to buy gemstones, so the minimum is already ten million"."If you only have one million, then...""Mr. Farrer, Conal has brought people in here!" Ryder's voice rang out suddenly.Farrer's face paled instantly, then flushed with anger: "Damn it! Is Conal so audacious to intrude into
Back From Prison! Chapter 209: The Harassment Of Almira.
Half an hour later, Milcah was off work. After exchanging a few words with Walter and Almira, she signaled to Jonathan that she would take care of the guests, allowing him to leave.Jonathan didn't hesitate, exchanging a few more words with Walter before departing from the mansion and driving to Adela's residence.He parked the car in the lot near Adela's house and ventured into the supermarket across the street. Then he dialed Adela."Just got home, preparing to cook dinner for Curtis. Anything important?" she inquired.Jonathan smiled: “Just wanted to give a small heads-up. There's a rice sale today at the supermarket across from your place. It's three pennies cheaper per pound. Life is hard. Every penny saved counts!""Why would you know about the supermarket sale? Are you so bored you'd ask about such things..."Adela suddenly seemed to catch on: “Jonathan, don't tell me you're at Van's supermarket across my place?"Jonathan didn't reply directly, continuing to stroll around the s

Inside the mansion.Fidgeting over her meal, Almira kept glancing at the clock. It was after nine, and Jonathan had yet to return. She feared he wouldn't come back tonight either.She glanced at Walter as if asking him to intervene, fearing that if he didn't, there would be no chance to see Jonathan tonight if he didn't."Cough, Milcah, where did the young man go tonight? Why hasn't he returned this late?" Walter turned to Milcah and asked.He had gone out with Adela and Curtis. If not for these two, Milcah would have joined them too.However, Milcah didn't say that but merely replied: “I don't know either, uncle. Were you looking for him for some reason?"With a vague expression, Walter said: “Nothing much. He has done a big favor for our family, and I haven't had a chance to treat him to a decent meal yet. Considering how busy he is and we must leave tomorrow, I wanted to invite him to dinner tonight to express our gratitude.""I... It shouldn't be necessary. Jonathan isn't the kind

Ting ting!Minutes later, Milcah called again, the ringtone shattering the still atmosphere.Jonathan answered the call."Who just called you? And about Adela...""Don't explain anything to Adela just yet. Let's wait a bit longer.” Jonathan replied, weary evident.The next morning.Jonathan's subordinate arrived at the mansion, urging Walter and Almira to get in the car to return to Los Angeles.Anxious, Walter asked the subordinate: “Where's Jonathan? Are we supposed to meet him on the way?"There was no problem with returning to Los Angeles. The issue was they had to return together!After hearing Almira recount the previous night's events, Walter was irate. He thought that with Almira's beauty, a slight opportunity would be enough to enchant Jonathan.The result? A failed attempt that only led to more trouble!Reflecting upon this, Walter regretted acting rashly because he was so eager for Almira to get close to Jonathan.He regretted provoking Jonathan."Young Wang ordered me pers

"I understand the two of you now. Let's talk about something else. Suppose I lose tomorrow night, I will fulfill my promise, leave Top-Sky House, and I won't have any face left to participate in this game anymore.""What do you think? Who will be the most suitable to replace me if I lose?"Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into deep thought.Of course, they all knew about Jonathan's bet with Roderick, but they didn't expect Jonathan to be so daring that he would follow the agreement if he lost.Although this battle is a gamble between Jonathan and Roderick, who betrayed Top-Sky House, it certainly has a decisive nature.But how prestigious is the position of the owner of the Top-Sky House?Could Jonathan bear to abandon it?Moreover, who can do anything about it even if he doesn't comply with the bet?Wolfgang only gave Jonathan the title without providing any assistance. He was just in jail then, so he didn't have the opportunity.Therefore, Jonathan was constantly provoked wh
Back From Prison! Chapter 213: Roderick's Intentions.
The next day, the long-anticipated day of the grand arena battle finally arrived.Los Angeles was in a state of heightened hunger more than ever before.Ordinary citizens, oblivious to the day's significance, continued their daily hustle and bustle, awaiting the next day's arrival as usual.But for some, it was different.For the Top-Sky House, it was safe to say that this day was a turning point of paramount importance."Roderick, what on earth is your game? We jointly hired Drake, and now you've invited those three cities' union stars, Harvey and Donald, here. What's the mean ireactedarly at the break of dawn, Phelim had stormed into the Bacchus club with a formidable presence, seemingly accusing.Had Roderick not paraded Harvey and Donald before Jonathan yesterday, they would've been in the dark about the affair.Therefore, Phelim was seething, no longer desiring to merge back with the Top-Sky House.Who wouldn't know that the Top-Sky House had been fractured and weakened for years
Back From Prison! Chapter 214: 'If I Don't Beat You To Death, I Admit Defeat'
"Master, if you feel you can win, I implore you to secure a victory in tonight's match. But if there's no hope, find some reason to withdraw."Christopher replied: “Yes, sir, you could cancel this match. While it may cause a minor loss of face, we could disrupt Roderick's scheme. You are the rightful lord of Top-Sky House, and without your abdication, no one can claim your position."The two of them had approached Jonathan for this reason, suggesting a withdrawal if victory was uncertain.By now, Roderick had already murdered Samuel. If he won tonight's match, his sinister ambitions would surely surface, probably coveting Jonathan's position without delay.Who knew how many more would fall like Samuel did?Roderick had indeed gone mad.Listening to their proposal, Jonathan found it laughable. It couldn't be that simple.He countered: “Even if I don't back down, he can't force me to. But what if he attempts to assassinate me? Or threatens my friends and family? Zachary, think about it.
