Chapter 118 - A Hidden Identity?

A plot twist?

Everyone suddenly froze in shock after seeing both the Ghus and Gias refer to Dorian as a Grandmaster. 

Their eyes kept darting between Dorian, the Ghus, and the Gias as though trying to unravel the hidden plot twist before them.

Hello? Could anyone tell them who the Young master Dorian Tian was?

That's right. 

They again began thinking of him as a 'Young Master' and no longer some pauper.

What a joke!

Even if he was away from the Tian group, do you see the level of respect he still commanded?

So... Who was he really? 

Batman?

Did he have some different identity by day and another by night?

Everyone's mind was solely focused on cracking the code, although most had just assumed that the Gias and Ghus were being nice to him due to his parents.

Hey! His parents were the real founders of the Tain group. And would no doubt be able to make long-lasting relationships with people like the Ghus and Gias?

So in a way, maybe they were helping out due to pity?

Yes! This was most likely the case.

But then again, what about the Grandmaster title? Could it be that all this was just for show? 

Or did this pauper truly have some hidden skill in some high-end profession?

Hey! Did the Ghus and Gias give him a job that he completed so well, so much so that they had to start calling him Grandmaster instead?

What was it? What exactly was the mystery here?

.

Cursed brat!

Wei Kwo had a warm and apologetic smile on his face. But deep down, he was secretly cursing this bastard nephew of his in his heart.

Lowly imp! How dare he make him, Wei Kwo, look bad before the Gias and the Ghus?

Next week, their Tian group had to sign a major contract with the Ghus. 

So if everything failed and didn't go well, what would he do then?

Sweat poured off Wei Kwo's large pores as his chubby body seemed to have been overly heated up from his thoughts alone.

No! 

After getting this far to the top, how could he be willing to fall from grace because of a little imp?

Unlike his bastard brother-in-law, he didn't know how to properly run all the businesses. 

And just during this time that he had taken over, he had made sp many mistakes that one of the business operations under the Tain groups had almost closed up due to misappropriation of funds.

He had almost no business knowledge and had to grit his teeth and learn from the rest around him.

Don't mind the fact that he looked glorious on the outside. But even within the companies, he had a lot of enemies that wanted him gone.

And the fact that his family was now squandering money like water also gave him a headache.

Before, he used to call his brother-in-ppl aw stingy.

But now, he understood how ridiculous his wife and some were.... (See how he omitted himself in the mix?)

.

Wei Kwo was a very selfish man.

And at present, he blamed himself for marrying such a hungry wife, who in turn taught his children to be wayward kids too.

Do you know that they once went into one of the stores owned by the Tian group and shopped 40 million way over their budgets?

And in that case, the person who would have to pay would be himself, no?

His wife seems to be obsessed with shopping lately, as she shopped every single week.

But that wasn't all.

The list of extravagant things she did under this short period could fill up an entire notebook alone.

That is, even the other wives from the Big 6 diligently used their bothered allowances accordingly. 

But his wife seemed to have no self-discipline as well.

Hehehehehe... These thoughts were coming from a man who went to see other women daily and silent missions on them too.

Wei Kwo was okay with himself spending that much money.

But he wasn't fine with his wife, children, or even his own mother doing the same at all. 

So he placed all the blame on his wife for giving his enemies at work a reason to target him... Especially those still loyal to that bastard brother-in-law of his.

Make no mistake.

At present, the Tian Group was like a walking time bomb, and he needed to personally grow his influence and make more friends with members of the big 6.

And it's because of this that he came out here tonight to see and mingle with them.

Of course, seeing the Su young masters beefing with that cursed Nephew of his, he quickly stepped in to make his appearance known and win young master Su over. 

But how could he have known that in doing so, he had now offended the Ghus and the Gias?

Then what about the Ghu bidding contract he was looking forward to winning and signing next week?

.

Thup!

As though seeing his impending fall from grace, Wei Kwo quickly forced a stiff smile on his face while looking at Dorian warmly.

"Little Nephew... You know, this whole thing might be one big misunderstanding. So why don't you just forget about it? Look. Whether you're gate-crashing the auction or not, don't worry. Uncle will handle matters and take care of you from here on out."

With that, he hastily turned towards Ghu Sota and the Gias: "I'm sorry that you all had to see my family's jokes."

Smirk. 

The Gias and Ghus secretly sneered and smirked at the clown before them.

Joke?

Did this buffoon think they were stupid or just born yesterday?

Ghu Sota wanted to say something but could only swallow his thoughts back in after receiving Dorian's warning in his mind.

He looked like an aggravated puffy at that moment, wanting to prove its worth to its owner.

Well, even if the Grandmaster said he couldn't do anything, that didn't mean that he couldn't stare his enemy to death, right?

Good. Good. Good. Good.

Then, let the Death Stare begin!

Beam!
