Once I Accept The Inheritance: You're All Doomed! Chapter 144: Tasked With Recovering The Money.
Selah seeing Alexander’s sloppy attire, rolled her eyes in disdain: “Mrs. Jones, your useless son-in-law is here. Look at him, dressed like a farmer. Such a waste, your daughter is so beautiful.""The saying goes, 'A wise wife takes a foolish husband, like a jasmine flower stuck in a cow's dung.' Now that I’ve met Mrs. Jones’s useless son-in-law, I really believe this saying. I don't know what Mrs. Jones was thinking when she agreed to this marriage back then.""But in a way, it's for the best. Since Mrs. Jones’s son-in-law is so weak, it allows us sisters to gather with her. If she had a decent son-in-law, she might not even acknowledge us on the street."These sisters had often been belittled by Valeria, so now that they had the chance, they seized the opportunity to mock Alexander, taking revenge for the past slights. Valeria was extremely angry inside, the more she looked at Alexander, the more irritated she became, and she couldn’t help but scold him."You useless fool, I told yo

Valeria's expression shifted, but she was relieved that she had quickly found someone to help. As long as Phineas came, she'd still have a shred of dignity left."That’s true. Your family's roots aren’t deep, and you should save your favors for when Benito needs a promotion. I'll reach out to the CEO of the investment firm Shadow & Light. He’s been in the investment world for a long time and might be able to handle this," Valeria said, pulling out her phone dramatically, making sure her friends noticed.Phineas hurried over, eager to redeem himself after his last embarrassing incident. He wanted to regain face in front of Valeria, and in his mind, winning her favor would bring him closer to winning her over.As Phineas approached, Valeria proudly introduced him: "This is Phineas Nichols, the CEO of Shadow & Light Investment. Phineas, these are some of my old friends. They’ve been scammed by this investment company, so you need to help us recover some of their retirement money.""Is th

Valeria snatched the drinks and snacks from Alexander, fuming: “Sit down and keep quiet. There’s nothing for you to do here. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll knock your teeth out!"Phineas squinted at Alexander and, acting generous, said: “Auntie, just let this useless guy stick around to clean up. He can pick up the sunflower seed shells and plastic wrappers. We shouldn’t pollute the environment.""Phineas is right! You useless thing, sit down and clean up the trash. And don't interrupt Phineas when he's negotiating with the investment company's people.""If he can handle this, then dogs won’t eat feces anymore," Alexande

Thorne nodded and glanced at the number displayed on his phone.Seeing the name "Young Master Reynolds" on the screen, Thorne’s scalp tingled. He immediately stood up, quickly answering the call, and respectfully bowed his head as he spoke: “Hello, sir. What can I do for you?"The fat man across from him was confused. A single phone call could make Thorne act so deferentially? The person on the other end must be extremely important!Out of politeness, due to the fat man’s presence, Thorne didn’t mention Alexander’s name.The fat man had hosted this banquet for Th

Selah was the first to speak up: "That useless fool over there, come here and tell me who you called. Who did you find to solve this problem? Tell us so we can all have a good laugh."Not wanting to fall behind, Meagan quickly added: "How can someone like you, so useless, think you can fix anything? You should take a look around and see that everyone here has already tried everything. There isn't anyone here who's less capable than you, and yet, you're still pretending like you can do something.""Saying he's a big deal is an insult to garlic. At least garlic is worth something. You’re cruel, sister. This pile of mud doesn't even dare to speak up when people look down on him. Honestly, someone as useless as him should have ended it long ago and tried to start over in the next life."Valeria glared viciously at Alexander. The crueler her friends' words became, the more pleasure she took from it. In fact, she even thought how wonderful it would be if their insults could drive Alexander

“Dad, I’ve run into a little trouble. I need you to help me out.” Phineas said with a smile on the phone.“What’s going on? I’m about to go into a meeting.” a deep voice replied from the other end.“The investment company run by Amias is using illegal funding. Some friends of mine invested and now can’t get their money back…”Before Phineas could finish, his father on the other end had already frowned.“Why are you getting involved in other people’s business? Amias isn’t easy to deal with. Cutting off someone’s income is like killing their parents. Stay out of this and focus on what you should be doing.”“No, it’s just helping out a few friends. It’s not a big deal for us, and it’s not about cutting off his income—""Stupid! Don’t get involved. If I find out you’re mixed up in this, I’ll break your legs when you come home.”The call abruptly ended, leaving only the sound of the disconnect tone in Phineas’s ear before he had even hung up.What the hell just happened? Why didn’t his fat

Alexander didn’t pay attention to Valeria’s glare, instead, he felt somewhat puzzled as he watched Amias. He wasn’t sure what was happening. Could Thorne have made a mistake?After thinking for a moment, Alexander sighed and shook his head. As long as he could get the money back, nothing else mattered. He would leave the rest to fate.Amias finally reached Phineas and extended his right hand.Phineas arrogantly hesitated for a moment before lightly shaking Amias's hand and then quickly letting go, clearly showing some disdain.At this point, Phineas didn’t care why Amias had come. He simply wanted to maintain his cool demeanor, thinking that doing so would give him the upper hand in whatever followed.Amias, however, wasn’t bothered. Instead, he thought to himself that such an attitude and aura must surely belong to Dragon Sect’s Young Master. No ordinary person could exude such a vibe."This is our boss, Amias Oliver. Boss, this is..." Aldo began to introduce Phineas, but Amias waved

Seeing Phineas hesitate, with a strange expression on his face, Amias felt a sinking feeling of unease."What’s the matter? Mr. Pittman is waiting for you."Amias probed, watching Phineas closely for any reaction.The excitement among Valeria’s group suddenly froze. Something felt off.Alexander couldn't help but smirk, raising an eyebrow as he watched Phineas flounder. He had pieced together what was happening—Amias had mistaken Phineas for him.But Alexander kept quiet, watching from the sidelines, waiting for Phineas to get his comeuppance."Who is this Mr. Pittman you're talking about?" Phineas asked, putting on a haughty front, trying to intimidate Amias and buy himself some time to figure a way out.Amias looked startled: “You don’t know Mr. Pittman?"Riiiiing... Riiiiing.Amias’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, quickly turned away, and answered the call: “Mr. Pittman, what can I do for you?""Are you an idiot? I told you to handle the situation, and what the h

The group attempted to close in on Alexander, limiting his movements. They knew that if he maintained this level of speed, they were in serious trouble.“You think you can corner me? Not with your pathetic skills.” Alexander sneered.As soon as the words left his mouth, his figure blurred, darting among them like a phantom. The burly men barely had time to react before it was too late. His speed far outstripped their reflexes.Bam! Bam! Bam!A rapid series of impacts echoed through the yard. From the first man sent flying backward to the last one, less than three seconds had passed.In those fleeting moments, Alexander landed over a dozen blows,

Kolby stopped in his tracks, staring at Michal’s dramatic surrender, and laughed, shaking his fists: “What’s wrong with you? I haven’t even thrown a punch yet, and you’re already giving up? You’re way too cooperative.”Michal, looking like he was on the verge of tears, replied: “What else can I do? I don’t want to get hit. Just treat me like a fart and forget about me.”“Damn, with courage like yours, how are you even a boss? This is hilarious. Hey, you over there.” Kolby pointed at Alexander: “Step up and take a punch from me. When I swing, you fall backward dramatically. That way, I’ll go easy on you and won’t kill you in one blow.”Kolby laughed as he demonstrated a falling motion: “Watch closely. Make sure you fall back like this. It’ll make me look cooler. Those Tai Chi masters on video do it like this, and I want to experience it for myself.”Alexander smiled and nodded, playing along: “Alright, as you wish. I’ll make sure you have the best experience possible.”“Now you’re talk

The burly man at the door grinned and said: “You guys sure got here quickly. It’s not even 20 minutes. You must live nearby?”“Not really—70 kilometers away. If my guy here hadn’t driven like a maniac, we wouldn’t have made it. I was shaken up so badly, I almost threw up.” Michal replied, leaning against the wall and miming a retch, his performance impeccable.The burly man, clearly annoyed by Michal’s retching, waved them in impatiently: “Get yourself together. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of the boss.”He gestured for them to enter. Because of Michal’s convincing act, the man didn’t bother scrutinizing Alexander.Michal stole a nervous glance at Alexander, gritting his teeth before stepping inside. At this point, there was no turning back. He had already bet everything on Alexander.Tome sat on a swing, swirling a glass of red wine as he turned to look at Money Brightens Eyes beside him.Dressed in a crimson robe, Money Brightens Eyes exuded an air of elegance.

Nico felt as if he had seen a ghost. This couldn’t be humanly possible. He was already at 380 mph—how could he still be getting caught up to?“Nico, Nico, how’s it going? We can’t even see the taillights of that Mercedes-Benz anymore!” crackled a voice over the radio.“I’m at 380 mph!” Nico growled: “I just managed to lose him!”“Damn! Nico, you’re a beast! 380 mph? That’s legendary speed, man.”“I told you Nico’s the real deal. There’s no way a Mercedes-Benz SUV, even if modified, could reach 380 mph.”“Nico, ease up on the gas a little and try to force that Mercedes to stop. Once he does, we’ll deal with the punk driving it. How dare he try to pass us? He’s got a death wish!”Nico’s face flushed red. He wanted to scream: “I’m barely holding on here!"The Mercedes-Benz kept closing the gap. Looking ahead, Nico saw that less than a kilometer away, the road curved sharply.At 380 mph, there was no way to navigate the curve safely. Even the best driver would slow down. Handling the curv

Whoosh! Whoosh!The Mercedes-Benz SUV shot past the Lamborghini like an arrow, its immense air pressure rocking the Lamborghini to the side like a leaf swaying in the wind.“Holy shit! It overtook me! Its speed has definitely surpassed 240 mph—I think it’s hitting over 260 mph!” Justine exclaimed in panic.For Justine, 260 mph wasn’t an unusual speed. F1 races regularly hit such velocities, and even Nico’s Bugatti Veyron could easily reach 280 or 300 mph.But for an SUV to achieve such speeds was beyond anything Justine had seen or heard of. SUVs typically participated in endurance challenges, prioritizing rugged terrain capabilities over outright speed.Hearing Justine’s report on the Mercedes-Benz, the other wealthy racers fell silent.The Porsche supercar just ahead of Justine also noticed the menacing approach of the Mercedes-Benz.“I see it too. It’s overtaking me. My current speed is 265 mph.” the Porsche driver reported.Ryon, listening for a while, grew increasingly agitated:

Michal stared at the new message on his phone, his face twisted with dread: “Boss, Tome's guys didn’t give an exact time. They just said to wait for news tonight and that they’ll inform me of the meeting time at any moment."As he read the message, Michal felt like a blade was suspended over his head, ready to drop at any second.Alexander glanced briefly at Michal’s phone before closing his eyes and saying: “That guy is cautious. Fine, we’ll wait.""Maybe we should book a room first, Boss. You can rest properly. Sleeping in the car isn’t exactly comfortable.” Michal suggested, attempting to flatter him.Alexander shook his head, his voice indifferent: “No need. A quick nap in the car will do."Michal dared not say more. He quietly put his phone away, trying to mimic Alexander’s calm demeanor by closing his eyes and attempting to rest.Time passed quickly, and at 1 a.m., Michal’s phone suddenly rang.Still groggy, Michal fumbled for his phone. When he saw the caller ID, he immediately

“Tome again.” Alexander muttered: “Seems that bastard keeps causing me trouble. Do you have a meeting set with him? I’d like to join.”Michal hesitated, his heart sinking. Of all the luck, he had to run into someone like Alexander, who now intended to provoke Tome. This wouldn’t end well for anyone.“Boss, how about I give you Tome’s number? You can contact him yourself. I’ll take my men and leave. We won’t step foot in Golden Harbor again.”Michal didn’t want to get involved between Alexander and Tome. No matter how things turned out between the two, Michal was certain his own ending wouldn’t be favorable. The best option now was to slip away quickly.

Lyle's face turned red with rage, humiliated by the demand."It looks like you don’t want to apologize. Fine, don’t apologize then, but this is an insult to my people!" Lyle yelled, throwing a punch at Alexander’s face.Even though he doubted he could land a blow on Alexander, Lyle had to fight for his dignity.Alexander shook his head and casually threw a punch back, hitting Lyle in the face.Smack! Smack! Smack!Each slap from Alexander sent Lyle’s head swinging like a bell, knocking him off balance. After the barrage of slaps, Lyle staggered against the wall, struggling to stay on his feet."You... you..." Lyle spat blood, stumbling out of the room.He made his way back to the room, where Michal was waiting. Seeing Lyle's swollen face, Michal’s expression darkened."Lyle, what happened? I asked you to escort the two women, but you come back looking like this? Where are the others?" Michal asked in frustration."Mr. Michal, we were attacked. The others were knocked out, and I was th

Gabriel nodded, pulling out his phone to make a call. After a brief conversation filled with convincing, he finally persuaded Money Brightens Eyes to come and deal with Alexander.“Young Master Tome, my junior brother has agreed to come, but he wants 600 million upfront. He insists on receiving half in advance before he brings his people over.”“600 million? That’s nothing. Give me his account details right now—I’ll transfer the money immediately. Tell him to get here as quickly as possible!” Tome snapped, pulling out his phone. With a fierce and impatient demeanor, he swiftly transferred the money to Money Brightens Eyes.Gabriel made another call to confirm, then gave Tome an “OK” gesture.“He’s on his way. He should arrive tonight or early tomorrow morning. By tomorrow, we can deal with Alexander.”“Hahaha, excellent! I’ll rest tonight so I can enjoy tomorrow. I can’t wait to see Alexander killed—and when it’s over, I’ll stomp on his corpse!” Tome said arrogantly as he retreated to
