Semua Bab My Invincible Husband Has Returned: Bab 2071 - Bab 2080

The expression of the other four family heads immediately darkened upon hearing what Davis said, and they all looked at Heston icily.James Sully, the head of the Sulley family, said icily, "Mr. Quantz, Mr. Jacobsen is right. Why do you want us to hand over our electronic devices and tell our bodyguards to leave?"Tyson Clark, the head of the Clark family, looked at Heston with a sullen expression and said, "I'm sure we all know each other here. If you trust us, then let's have the meeting. If you don't, then we can just forget it. We won't agree to anything else.""That's right. Go ahead and have the meeting if you want to. If you don't, we can just call a day. We won't agree to have our bodyguards leave the room. We won't ever hand you our electronic devices either."A frosty look gleamed in Heston's eyes as he listened to the crowd. In the meantime, he was secretly observing Cillian's expression, and he saw that Cillian sat in his chair calmly, not saying a word. He had no idea

Julian ignored the crowd. He nodded with a smile and continued, "If that's so, I would take it that you agree. Since we have come to an initial consensus, then I will now talk about the collaboration with Mr. Miller."I'm sure all of you know that this collaboration is a fifty-billion-dollar investment. If it were left only to one family, then it would be impossible for anybody to get it. So, we at the Yeager family propose to let the Quantz family be our representative to collaborate with Mr. Miller."As soon as he said that, the five family heads who were initially staying silent immediately got all worked up. One after the other, all of them voiced their objections."What? Let the Quantz family represent us in the collaboration with Mr. Miller?""No! Not! I will be the first to object to letting the Quantz family represent us to collaborate with Mr. Miller!""That's right! I object as well! Why the Quantz family? Our families' abilities are nowhere inferior to theirs, so why no

His outrageous statement was met with a startling realization from the rest of the crowd. Their faces fell when they recalled Heston's attitude toward Julian in the previous encounter.Heston smiled at the mention of his name and explained, "Gentlemen, although the Quantz family is indeed a part of the six major families in Luminous, I actually do not disagree with Mr. Yeager's suggestion. In fact, I think it's a great idea."Considering the fact that we've all known each other for decades now, I would like to offer you all a piece of valuable advice—think wisely before making any decision, especially when it's one that will put you in a position of offending the Yeager family."Heston's hint was quite blatantly obvious. What he was trying to say was that if they chose to go against the Yeager family's wishes, they would likely end up in a dangerous predicament, perhaps losing their status in Luminous altogether. The color drained from their faces, and they all glowered at Heston

"In that case, Mr. Quantz, how do you think I should speak to Mr. Yeager instead?" Cillian said sharply, turning to meet Heston's gaze with a cold sneer. "Are you suggesting that I learn to be a lapdog like you, Mr. Quantz? In that case, I'm sorry, but my dignity does not allow me to stoop so low. Mr. Yeager is not my master, of course."In other words, he would not grovel before the Yeagers like the Quantz family."You—" Heston hissed, a look of utter fury crossing his face. The remaining five men all gazed at Cillian in utter disbelief. Was Cillian out of his mind? How dare he talk back to Julian and insult Heston as well?"Mr. Quantz," Julian called out, shooting Heston a glance that the latter took to mean his time to speak was over. Then, he turned to Cillian with a smile. "I like dealing with people like you, Mr. Lovell. Honest and straight to the point. Since you have so graciously agreed to our terms, there is no reason for me not to accept."He then turned to the remaini

Julian had never been so humiliated before. Now that the star of the show had left, the others felt like they no longer had any reason to linger, so they trickled out of the room in Liam's wake, ignoring Julian entirely. Julian's expression grew progressively darker with every person that left the room.Who would have thought the legendary Mr. Miller would choose to make his appearance this way? Despite his initial shock, Julian now could not help questioning the truth. Was this all merely a ploy? Could this man truly be the famed Mr. Miller?Heston was equally astounded by the entire event. His jaw was practically on the ground. Who would have thought that Cillian would turn out to be working for the famed Mr. Miller all this while?Just a few minutes ago, they had been so fervently discussing the matter of the 50-billion-dollar investment! This would explain why Cillian had remained so stoic despite discovering that he had been left out of the split!He was working for the
