Chapter 250: Misunderstanding

“HAHAHAHA!!”

Looking at Brian who was laughing crazily, not to mention Hudson who was standing slightly behind him, even Marion, who was just descending the stairs, was left dumbfounded.

Previously, while upstairs, she had heard a conversation happening below. But then, she realized that it seemed that there was someone that was causing trouble.

Because she was upstairs, she could not clearly hear what was happening. That was why she decided to come down and see for herself.

Unexpectedly, the moment that she appeared, this guy began laughing as though he had seen the funniest thing in his life.

And for a moment, Marion could not help but observe herself, to see if there was something about her that was out of place. But she realized that everything was okay, and most probably, it was her who was making him laugh, not something about her dressing.

Michael on the other hand gazed at Marion who was standing there, dumbfounded, before he looked at Brian. At this moment, even with the expert level human insight skill, Michael was not sure what this guy was thinking.

He could pick up bits of what he was thinking, but it was inevitably impossible to be able to completely tell what someone was thinking. At the end of the day, this skill was not a mind reading ability that could expose the true thoughts of someone.

It took quite a while for Brian finally stop laughing. Then, with a bright smile on his face, he gazed at Marion once again, before he looked back at Michael.

He went ahead and asked, “Tell me, is this the background that you are depending on, thinking that it can allow you to be able to control sky technologies, and compete against me?”

Michael raised his brows slightly. And now, he began understanding what this guy was thinking.

And as expected, Brian continued, “If you are thinking of depending on the Wilson family, as support, then you are thinking too much. The Wilson family is just a small family that I can destroy with a single phone call.

To you people in such a backward place, all the families from the central province are giants. But you should know, even between giants, there are those that are superior.

So, listen to my advice. Sell that company to me, and I will give you $50 million. I have helped you in removing one zero from the figure, at least, you will be able to live a good life with that money, while avoiding all kinds of stress related to management.”

To this, Michael could only shake his head. At the same time, he wondered, what were those higher ups of blood reapers syndicate thinking?

Even though this guy was the son of the second in command of the syndicate, but wasn’t it too much to have this idiot as a candidate for the position of the leader?

No matter how much he thought about it, Michael felt that this matter was puzzling. Regardless, he decided not to think much about it, as this matter was not related to him.

On the other hand, as Marion also understood the situation, her expression shifted, as she looked at Brian with a weird gaze.

She had already recognized him, as he was quite popular within the central province. This guy, he was very arrogant, and ruthless.

But because he had incredible backing, all those that he bullied, none of them dared to resist. They could only suffer in silence.

It was just that, she was puzzled by why this guy thought that Michael was depending on the Wilson family. He was the one who had saved the Wilson family.

This implied that his capability was way above the Wilson family. Even though she was not sure about the full capability that Michael had, but even then, it definitely wasn’t simple.

And just from the fact that Brian was in the dark about Michael’s background, it was clear that it was even bigger.

At first, when she recognized Brian, she felt slightly panicked. But as everything began thinking in, she realized that there was no reason to panic. That was especially after she looked at Michael, who was sitting there calmly.

Since there was nothing that she could help with, she just descended the stairs, before she sat on the couch on the left of Michael, waiting to see how things would unfold.

“Adrian, can you help me escort this idiot out of here? I’m already getting tired listening to the nonsense that he is blabbering.” Michael spoke to Adrian was still standing in the same position as before.

It was only at this moment that suddenly, Brian seemed to remember something. And when he looked at Adrian, his expression hardened.

“Hey, did I not tell you to serve me food? I am already starving. Yet, all this while, you have been standing here, when I was waiting for the food to be served?” Brian inquired, his voice laced with anger.

“Please, leave, you are not welcome here.” In response, Adrian invited Brian out of the house.

This left Brian completely dumbfounded. Had he not already expressed the situation? Or did this kid believe that just by depending on that Wilson family, he could actually compete against the Blood Reapers?

Regardless, he just shook his head, deciding to ignore Adrian for now. Instead, he looked at Michael, waiting for his response to his offer.

But when he saw that Michael had no any intention of looking back at him, instead, he was busy on his phone, Brian realized that this guy was serious.

“Fine! That is the case, then you should not blame me for what happens next! You are going to regret this!” With his eyes blazing in anger, he turned around and left the villa together with Hudson.

As for Michael, he looked at Marion and asked, “You know him?”

Hearing Michael’s question, Marion nodded as she said, “He is quite popular in the capital. It is just that he is infamous for his ruthlessness and arrogance.

Quite a number of people and families have suffered due to him. But because of his background, nothing can really be done about him.

Even the police never get themselves involved with him. Those that report him to the police and up with themselves being arrested for making false accusations.

Even if they provide the evidence, the police are the ones who destroy the evidence, then claim that there is no evidence.”

Michael raised his brows slightly at that. He had not anticipated something like this at all.

As for how he knew that Brian was from the Blood Reapers syndicate, it was because he had gone through the information on this organization the previous night.

It was just that, because he had not clashed with them, he only went through the summary of the information provided by Onyx.

In that information, there was the mention of this guy called Brian, and his background. As for the detailed information on him, Michael did not pay much attention to it.

In fact, the only reason why he paid attention to the information related to this syndicate was because of the silent order syndicate.

At the end of the day, by the time that he would be clashing with the Santos family, it would be inevitable that the blood reapers syndicate would also be involved.

They might try to take advantage of the situation, or something else. But nevertheless, as long as Michael had a piece of information on them, it was enough.

For now, upon hearing the characteristics that Brian had, he felt even more convinced that there was something wrong with the brains of the leaders of blood reapers syndicate.

“Okay, just ignore them. If you want, you can go around the city. I can have someone accompany you around, so that you cannot be worried about a repeat of the previous incident.” Michael shook his head as he said.

Marion’s eyes brightened when she heard that. Then, as though she had thought of something, she looked at Michael and asked, “Could you possibly take me around? I’m not really familiar with anyone within this city, apart from you.

Even though we only met yesterday, at least, we are family. I can trust you more and be more comfortable in your company instead of another’s.”

Michael could immediately tell what she was thinking. It seemed that she wanted to spend time with him, considering that they were related. Maybe she wanted to solidify the bond between them?

Still, he shook his head as he said, “Even though I have been in this city for quite a while, I’m not really familiar with it. Most of the time, I’m usually within this villa. I rarely go out.”

“Then that’s just great. We can go and explore the city together. What do you think?” Marion insisted.

Michael thought about it, and decided that there was no harm accompanying her out. In any case, he had already pushed a skill to the expert level. So, he could take a break, before he came back later on to continue.

So, the two of them stayed for a while as Adrian went ahead and prepared breakfast. And after that, driving the Porsche that Michael had bought the previous day, they left, heading for the city center.

According to Marian, she wanted to visit the malls in Brenton City, to see how they differed from those in the capital. Though, Michael felt that this reason was kind of stretched, but he said nothing about it.
