Chapter 785: Chapter 779: Who is the Idiot (Part 1)
The main task of this fat man was to sign the contract, especially the part about the penalty clause. Once the contract was signed, even if Finn Lewis reneged, he wouldn’t be worried, given the prince backing him up. This fat guy was not afraid of Finn Lewis. Finn Lewis was merely a newcomer to the royal family, whereas there was one of the top nine royal families supporting the fat man.
So, once the contract was signed, Finn Lewis would definitely lose money, and this fat guy was already laughing in his heart. The money that would be collected was solid, and it was all for their clan. As such, the fat man would naturally not tamper with the other parts of the contract. If the fat man messed with the other parts and got caught by Finn Lewis, wouldn’t that be like picking up sesame seeds only to drop the watermelon?
So, there were no issues with the entire contract, except for the penalty clause being way above the norm. After Luna Starfield confirmed that there were no issues with the contract, Finn Lewis signed the contract with his family’s emblem. The fat man also signed the contract. However, although the fat man signed it, his family had to handle the contract.
Would the fat man’s family refuse to handle such matters? Besides, Suleiman Cooper had already been notified. In less than fifteen minutes, Finn Lewis had already received confirmation from Luna. The contract was officially established.
With this settled, Finn Lewis shook hands with the fat man and said, “The security of my territory is now in your hands. Be sure to deliver on time. Otherwise, the penalty is very high.”
“Your Highness, rest assured, we will deliver as soon as possible.” The fat man responded briskly, his face blooming into a smile.
“Those of you looking to do business with me, we can talk another day. I am tired and need to rest now. Marlon, let’s go.” After saying these words, Finn Lewis turned and left. Everyone else who still wanted to chat immediately halted in their track. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, this prince had such a “low IQ”, buying stuff from him would be too easy.
It looked like people from primitive planets were indeed garbage; a lot of people began feeling that way inside. Marlon bit his lip and followed Finn Lewis. After leaving the classroom, Finn Lewis’s hover car was parked outside. He pointed at a Mad Scorpion hover car behind his and said to Marlon, “Marlon, since you decided to follow me and become my little brother, this vehicle will be yours from now on. I can’t let my little brother ride in a shabby car, can I?”
As soon as he finished speaking, one of Finn Lewis’s bodyguards immediately handed a set of keys and related items to Marlon. Seeing the items in his hand, Marlon gave a bitter smile while the people around him began stirring. They thought, holy crap, just for becoming a little brother, you get such high-end stuff? What the hell, isn’t this too cool?
“Let’s go. You will live beside me and I’m going to rent a villa for you. Being my little brother, you naturally can’t live in a place that’s too shabby.” Finn Lewis said, nodding in satisfaction.
The people around them were entirely speechless. They knew where Finn Lewis lived and were amazed that this fat man could live there too. He was just an ordinary aristocrat, the living costs there were something ordinary aristocratic youth could not afford.
After hesitating for a moment, Marlon got in the hover car with Finn Lewis. As soon as Finn Lewis got in the car, it started up and flew towards Finn Lewis’s villa.
“Luna, slow down the speed. I want to enjoy the view.” Finn Lewis said in a detached voice. Upon hearing Finn Lewis’s words, Marlon felt something was amiss, but he didn’t think much of it. At this moment, Marlon was feeling hesitant. Originally, he decided to stick with Finn Lewis during the class, but Finn Lewis’s behavior afterwards had made Marlon reconsider.
Although Finn Lewis was a royal, his way of spending his inheritance was worrisome. He was so extravagant. Plus, he didn’t let others say anything, as if whatever decision he made was final. Even if Marlon wanted to help, he felt like there was no way he could help.
While Marlon was contemplating how to talk to Finn Lewis, Finn didn’t say a word and the car was moving very slowly, about 300 kilometers per hour. If they were to fly back at this speed, it would probably take them over two hours to reach Finn Lewis’s place.
As the time ticked away, Marlon began to feel that something was not right. Finn Lewis was sitting in the back, and Marlon in the front. He glanced at Finn through the rearview mirror several times. Outside, Finn Lewis appeared arrogant, ostentatious, and foolish. He seemed like a nouveau riche lacking intelligence and he thought Finn Lewis could never calm down.
But now, Finn Lewis was very quiet, which Marlon found a bit uncomfortable. Just as Marlon was thinking about starting a conversation with Finn Lewis, Finn suddenly said, “Marlon.”
“Ah, Your Highness.”
“Why did you try to persuade me earlier?” Finn Lewis asked with a calm expression.
“Huh?” Marlon hesitated, unable to understand the meaning of Finn Lewis’s words. Did Finn Lewis become unhappy because Marlon had contradicted him?
“This… Your Highness, I was just suggesting. Just a suggestion. You should not take it to heart.” Marlon hesitated a bit, he had already made a decision. He would go along with Finn Lewis for now, and then find an excuse to refuse to become Finn Lewis’s little brother after they reached the destination.
“I’m not asking about that, I’m asking why you, knowing what kind of person Mike Aitken is, spoke up. You must have been in this school for quite a while and should be quite clear about his identity. You must be very clear that he is on Suleiman Cooper’s side. And when I arrived, I gave Suleiman such embarrassment. Your rebuttal means you have offended the Rochefort clan, one of the nine royal family surnames. Do you know what this means? Maybe the Rochefort clan won’t take a small fry like you seriously, but you have definitely offended Suleiman Cooper in school.” Finn Lewis said, looking at him indifferently.
Marlon was completely stunned. He never expected to hear these words from Finn Lewis. This development was offbeat. But looking at Finn Lewis now, where was the earlier arrogance and presumptuousness? Instead, all he saw was calm eyes, and the intelligent glint within.
Could it be… Marlon felt a shiver run through him. If that was the case…then this Highness was too frightening.
But regardless of whether Finn Lewis was that kind of person or not, the fact that his Highness could say such words meant that he was definitely not as brainless as he seemed on the outside.
