"Hmm."
Er Zhu said nothing, merely squeezing a grunt from his throat before leisurely picking up his teacup.
Seeing this, Malin Te and his two children mistook Er Zhu's composure for forced calmness and paid him no mind.
Time ticked by, and the appointed hour drew near, yet not a single wealthy individual had arrived!
This outcome left Malin Te and his children bewildered, especially Malin Te himself.
Those wealthy individuals were his longtime friends, some even from established families. To think they wouldn't show up, even without the prospect of Er Zhu's assets being divided, was unthinkable!
*Ring ring…*
Just as Malin Te was pondering, his phone suddenly rang.
"Malin, I'm going abroad for a vacation. Let's forget about our arrangement; I don't have the time," Mr. Boro, his friend, said from the other end as soon as Malin Te answered. Before Malin Te could react, the call was disconnected.
Huh?
Listening to the dial tone, Malin Te stared blankly at his son and daughter beside him.
Vacation?
Anyone who knew Boro well understood he was a workaholic. He had remained unmarried his entire life for the sake of his work. How could he possibly go on vacation!
*Ring ring…*
At that moment, several more calls came in, and the content was invariably the same: they were busy and couldn't make it!
"Father, something's not right. These rich people seem to be deliberately not coming!"
Seeing that no calls were coming in, Sana's eyes darted, and she suddenly seemed to recall something, prompting her.
"Yes, especially Mr. Bern. The voice on the phone was trembling, as if he was afraid of something."
Before Sana could finish, Raleigh beside her seemed to recall something and added.
"Oh… I understand now. Wang Er Zhu, did you threaten them? You're truly despicable!"
Sana was about to say something when her eyes darted, and she smiled as if she had seen through Er Zhu.
"No, I didn't threaten them. I simply acquired all their assets."
Er Zhu shook his head slightly, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely.
"Alright, Wang Er Zhu, stop bragging in front of us!"
"Exactly! Don't think we don't know you have no assets in the country of Ur!"
"Although these rich people are minor, there's no way a Chinese person like you could acquire them in such a short period!"
…
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, Malin Te and his two children burst into laughter as if they had heard the funniest joke of their lives, mocking him.
Wang Er Zhu might be able to acquire the assets of these minor wealthy individuals, but only a few days had passed since he received the invitation and Wang Er Zhu arrived in the country of Ur!
To acquire these assets in such a short time was impossible, let alone for Wang Er Zhu, even he couldn't do it!
*Slap!*
Too lazy to argue with them, Er Zhu directly produced the acquisition contracts. Looking at the contracts on the table, shock filled the eyes of Malin Te and his two children!
They really did acquire them!
No wonder they didn't come; it turned out all their assets had been acquired!
Malin Te was even more shocked, finding it utterly unbelievable. He rubbed his eyes several times, but the result was always the same!
Beside him, Sana looked at Er Zhu with infatuation. She knew Er Zhu was strong, but she never expected him to be so powerful!
"Mr. Wang, please accept me. I'm willing to love you with my life!"
The more Sana thought about it, the more she admired him, the more excited she became. Pouting, she pleaded with Er Zhu like a spoiled child.
"Scram!"
Just as Sana was about to touch Er Zhu's arm, he quickly dodged and rebuked her with a cold tone.
He had seen many shameless socialites, but Malin Sana was the most shameless.
"Enough! Don't think you're so great just because you've acquired a few minor wealthy individuals!"
Seeing Er Zhu reject her so contemptuously, Malin Te's fury intensified. He slammed his hand on the table and roared at Er Zhu.
He, the dignified daughter of the Malin family, had never been so humiliated!
Did this Wang Er Zhu forget whose territory he was on!
"Hmph, as expected of a fool from China. He's already gotten too big for his britches with such little achievement."
Beside them, Raleigh cast a disdainful glance at Er Zhu and mocked him with a sarcastic tone.
"Wang Er Zhu, you're finished this time!"
Rejected again, Sana became even more enraged. Gritting her teeth, she glared at Er Zhu and roared.
But Er Zhu acted as if he hadn't heard, still calmly sipping his tea, as if he were truly a guest.
"Earl Ross, Mr. Farman, Miss Irene, you've finally arrived!"
A few more minutes passed. Seeing those distinguished individuals walk over, Malin Te greeted them with a fawning smile.
These three were the heads of the top wealthy families in the country of Ur. They accounted for more than half of the hundreds of billions in assets.
Especially Earl Ross, he was a relative of the King of Ur!
Although only a distant relative, he held a significant position in the country of Ur!
"Hmm."
Compared to Malin Te's enthusiasm, the three appeared very calm, with even a hint of anger in their eyes. Malin Te mistook it for them championing his cause and his smile widened.
"Mr. Farman, haven't you always admired me for a long time? As long as you help me seize Wang Er Zhu's assets, I, will be yours!"
Seeing a bald man in his fifties to sixties on the left, Sana plastered a smile on her face and lunged at him.
She hugged the man tightly while casting a smug and provocative look at Er Zhu.
Her expression seemed to say, 'I dare to retaliate against you openly, what can you do about it?'
Er Zhu naturally saw her but paid no attention, continuing to leisurely drink his tea.
"Miss Irene, now that we are adults, it's time to set a date for our wedding."
Raleigh, unwilling to be outdone, walked elegantly to the only beauty among the three. As he spoke, he took her hand, his provocative intent evident.
The Irene family was also a top family in the country of Ur, with strength comparable to the Matt family. The two families were also old acquaintances, so their engagement was settled in childhood.
However, Raleigh had fallen for someone else after growing up, so the marriage had never taken place.
But now, for the honor of his family, he was willing to fulfill his promise!
"Enough. I'm not here to help you. I've heard about your matter with Mr. Wang, and I stand with Mr. Wang on this!
"Mr. Wang is my biggest business partner. Crossing him is crossing me!"
"Raleigh, enough. Don't think I don't know why you want to marry me. I'm here to break off the engagement!"
Just as Malin Te and the other two were preparing to join forces with Earl Ross and his companions to threaten Er Zhu, they heard such words!
It was one thing for Earl Ross to say that, but Mr. Farman and Miss Irene had been deeply infatuated with his son and daughter respectively. How could they say such things!
