Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 168: DIGGING FOR AGREEMENT (1).
“Dad, did I just hear right?” Lesley shook slightly in her seat as she stared at the wide stage with dazed eyes. “Did I just hear Miles issue a challenge of gemstone appraising against Lincoln Park, of all people?!”“Calm down, my dear.” Jonathan placed a soothing palm on his daughter’s back as he could see the young lady being slightly frantic in her seat.“How can I possibly be calm about this, Dad?” Lesley's voice dropped below to a whisper, as she looked around with caution, hoping that no one would hear her. “Dad, if Miles fails to beat Lincoln Park, which is far more than likely to happen should Mr. Krone Dodge accept his challenge, Miles would not be the only one who ends up humiliated for the rest of his life. The angry netizens will also come for his family, which would definitely include us, his in-laws.”Jonathan sighed as he was a bit disappointed that Lesley was rather worried about herself and not even a tiny bit about Miles. He gazed back up on the stage and he squinted

Everyone then watched as Caleb made a call. In less than a minute, three women in formal wear walked up on the stage with the woman in the center holding a briefcase.“In here are the documents with the rights over the import channels of regional raw materials,” Caleb spoke with a defeated tone. “How about we finalize the transfer at this stage and just get it over with?”Every single Dominion City merchant has their head down in shame at the defeat. Meanwhile, the Edgewood-Ave City merchants wouldn’t stop throwing more insults at their rival merchants, as well as Miles, Justin Fallon, and even Caleb Autumn. Meanwhile, Caleb simply continued as if nothing was happening, as he began gathering the files after opening the briefcase.Miles frowned slightly at the scenery around him. He felt somewhat disappointed that Caleb couldn’t even bother to show a fighting spirit. He should have at least given Miles a chance, even if it was simply for his bravery and his will to show up in an attemp
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CH. 170: NEW STAKES.
Miles had been lying when he claimed that he suspected Lincoln Park of cheating. This was truly a blatant lie, told to pull out the reaction and result he wanted. He had been baiting the champion this whole time with his words. In truth, Miles knew fully well that Lincoln Park, indeed, didn’t cheat during the challenge, nor had he ever done something like this. Miles was also aware that despite the man’s arrogance, Lincoln was an upstanding challenger who deeply despised people using underhanded means during a task. This has been the exact reason that Miles had attacked him with such accusations in the first place. He was well aware that this young man hated cheating, and thus, he would immediately be susceptible to doing anything to prove that he wasn’t a cheater.If Miles hadn’t tried out this tactic, it would have been nearly impossible to get Lincoln Park to agree with him. More so since Krone Dodge had been looking at Miles with caution in his eyes. Miles was indeed very glad a

“Is Miles serious right now?” Lesley was in awe as he stared at his brother-in-law. The man stood there with the most confident stance that she had ever seen. She was much more impressed than she was concerned. “Where the heck is he supposed to get $60 billion though? Has he lost his mind?”“I doubt it; far from it, I could even bet.” Jonathan was calm as he kept his gaze on the stage. He trusted in his son-in-law, so he didn’t allow any words around him to shake his heart in the slightest. Instead, he was simply enjoying the show as it was unfolding. He knew for sure that something was cooking.Krone Dodge felt his heart shaking as well. Miles had just declared that he was willing to place $60 billion as the stake for his challenge against Lincoln. This man didn’t look dumb in the slightest, and thus, the jewelry tycoon from Edgewood-Ave City knew that there was a high chance that Miles wasn’t bluffing.Even Lincoln Park’s anger had been doused with Miles’s words. He knew that even K

Caleb was left stunned when he received the same call from his associates. He ended the call involuntarily while the person on the other end of the call was still talking. He couldn’t even be bothered to feel guilty about this as he was filled with awe while staring at Miles, who still stood on the spot with sturdiness.“Who are you, Miles Creek?” These words were uttered in whispers as Caleb frowned at the sight of Miles, which had become quite dazzling. It was becoming increasingly clear that not only was Miles smart and courageous, but but he might as well possess the mountainous background to back it up.Krone Dodge was fuming inside, but he knew there was nothing he could do about this. It was better to accept this challenge than deal with the hassle of having the import channels shut down. However, the rest of the audience was not aware that Miles’s call had taken effect as only those who had some sort of affiliations with the import channels were informed, and they had all kept

“The $60 billion from Mr. Miles Creek has officially been confirmed!”The whole crowd went silent for a couple of months moments before there was a chorused yell. People began expressing their shock or different emotional reactions to this.“Wait! That man really has $60 billion in his account?! I was legit convinced that he was just bluffing this whole time!”“Holy shit! I really shouldn’t have looked down on this man! $60 billion?! That’s a fucking whole lot of money for one man! This is absolutely insane!”“If this guy is that rich, how have we not heard of him among the names of the higher echelon of Dominion City?!”At the certain side of the audience section,“No way!” August gasped out in utter shock. He seemed to be legit in a daze as he stared up at the stage. He clearly couldn’t believe what he had just heard, neither could he digest what he was looking at. “This is impossible!” His voice was professionally calm as he spoke to his partner beside him. “What is going on here?!

Krone Dodge was not calm at all. He was already thrown into the unknown by Miles's surprising displays, but he still chose to believe that Lincoln Park’s ability was superior.Miles smiled at Lincoln Park as he moved to the side. “Please, go first.”Lincoln Park didn’t know why exactly, but there was something about Miles’s smile and stare that made him worry about the chances of him winning. Still, he put on a brave face and walked forward boldly.The first stone was presented before everyone’s eyes and Lincoln began to inspect every corner of the material with seriousness. The crowd had gone silent as they were also awaiting his answer.After a couple of minutes had passed, Lincoln gave his answers to the physical qualities and attributes of this particular gemstone hidden within the ore. After this, the answers known by the examiners here were compared to the ones provided by Lincoln.Once the results were out, Caleb spoke to the audience. “Alright, it’s time to cut through the ore

Krone couldn’t believe what had just happened. He was quite sure that his champion, Lincoln Park, was going to come out of this second challenge victorious once more. The whole time he was feigning calmness, he was anticipating the prize he would win. After all, Miles had ended up adding a second import channel to the stakes, along with $60 billion. Unfortunately, he ended up losing the first import channels and the $5 billion he had won in the first round.“Damn it!” Krone stomped his foot on the floor as he glared heatedly at Miles. He hated this man. He berated himself for not trusting his own guts in the first. Miles, truly, was a cunning man. At first, the Edgewood-Ave jewelry tycoon had suspected that Miles was a crouching tiger waiting to reveal himself, but when Miles had offered that second import channel and $60 billion as stakes for a chance to challenge Lincoln Park, he was pulled in by the greedy, and thus, he ended up agreeing. Plus, Miles had passively threatened him an
