Since Clark lost that lawsuit, the family's wine business had shrunk rapidly. Even later, it could only be sold in some small towns around Blot. Of course, this was enough for his descendants to continue squandering.
Hearing the young man's intention, Clark wanted to refuse the other party's request. He would never sell his hard-earned business to others, especially after the belated justice.
But their children didn't think so. The wine business was getting worse and worse in the hands of these children. If they could get a large sum of money by selling it, it would be a very good deal for their children. They needed money to maintain their luxurious lives.
Taking Clark into the bedroom, soon those children sent a representative to discuss this deal. "Sir, we agree to your request and can sell our family's business."
They sold the wine business they controlled to the young man. When the young man signed his name on the prepared agreement, Clark's children also signed their respective names and sold all the shares they held.
"Mr. Donning, we hope to receive the full payment as soon as possible." After getting the advance payment and seeing the signature, the representative of Clark's children stated their common request.
When the result of the lawsuit changed, Alkmaar's wine business was finished. Donning could acquire Clark's family's wine business and then embezzle the share of Alkmaar's family's wine business. What a cost-effective deal, effortlessly.
"Give my regards to Mr. Clark." Donning took the contract and left. Immediately took over Clark's family's wine business. Because the result of the lawsuit changed, those taverns refused to cooperate with Alkmaar's family and instead chose the wine business of Clark's family acquired by Donning. The business share expanded rapidly and occupied more than 80%.
Although the other businesses of the Alkmaar family were not greatly affected, they were also affected. Losing the duke title also had a huge impact on the business. Naturally, the unluckiest person in Blot was Alkmaar.
Sending away those managers of Alkmaar's family business who came to ask for countermeasures, Luke wiped the sweat from his forehead. He turned around, pushed open the door, entered Alkmaar's study, closed the door, and said carefully, "Sir, our business has been greatly affected. They have no idea. They want to hear your opinion."
Alkmaar was like crazy. He lost his usual elegance. His hair was messy. He stared at the smashed things on the ground in a daze and muttered to himself. "I should have known. You fools can't be trusted. Damn it. My plan is all ruined. Damn Font. I should have killed him."
The paladin driven by Font didn't die and successfully delivered those evidences to the king's throne. His game was ruined, which caused this disaster. He thought everything was under control. Now it seemed that it was all an illusion. He was tricked. Font was a vicious wolf that could never be tamed.
He couldn't figure it out. Giving Font such great courtesy and power was still not as good as his loyalty to justice? Originally, Alkmaar was so conceited that he thought money and power could buy anyone. With time, Font would be slowly corroded by power and money. But now it seemed that he was wrong.
The most unacceptable thing for him was that because of this disaster, he lost the opportunity to join a mysterious organization. This opportunity was given to his opponent, Gaitan.
Alkmaar burst into tears. Luke stood aside at a loss.
Suddenly, the desperate Alkmaar stopped crying. He angrily crushed the teacup in front of him. The tea water spread along the table and flowed in all directions, mixing with the blood flowing out of Alkmaar's palm.
"Everything is not over yet. I still have a smart person who can give me advice." Compared to these fools around him who were incompetent and Font who could never be tamed, Alkmaar thought of a person. This young man seemed to be trustworthy.
"Bring that young man to me. Now it's time to see him in person." Alkmaar's face was ferocious and 挤出 the sound from between his teeth.
After Luke left, Alkmaar got up and let out an evil laugh. "I not only have a young man, but I also have the ability to live forever. As long as I am alive, there is still hope."
Many years ago, he opened the door to hell through a wizard and made a deal with the devil with his genitals and obtained the ability to live forever. He would never die.
Mace was frightened by this change. The Alkmaar family was finished. Everything was over. Hugging Donning's neck, she was panicked. "You won't leave me, right, dear? We will soon become a couple, right?" She wanted to find a sense of security from Donning. For the first time, a strong woman felt fear, fearing losing everything.
Donning hugged the ice beauty and waited for the person who was about to come. He answered with a light smile, "Of course not." At this time, Alkmaar should ask for his help. And he also had a way to deal with everything.
Soon Luke hurried into Mace's apartment and lost his usual calmness. He was sweating profusely. "Finally found you, young man. The sir wants to see you in person."
It was not reasonable to walk in this huge manor. A carriage was the best means of transportation. Even it took half an hour to take a carriage from the fish pond in the manor to the apartment. This was Alkmaar's manor located in the rich area, comparable to a palace.
The hall of the apartment was paved with agates and gems on the ground, dazzling. The huge chandelier covered the top of the hall. A red carpet was laid from the apartment door to the stairs.
"Mr. Donning, please follow me, otherwise you will get lost." Luke had no mood to admire these. Having served Alkmaar all his life, he was already used to these things. Now he only hoped that someone could calm the sir's anger and not vent his anger on them.
Donning followed behind and climbed up the stairs. The endless stairs made people a bit dazed. It seemed like this was the ladder to heaven, endless.
After half an hour, finally reached the end. The top floor of the apartment. The dome of the Romanesque building was decorated with glass. The glass was painted with various colors. The sunlight shone through the glass and sprinkled on the ground paved with a red carpet. People were reluctant to defile this dreamy space.
After Luke respectfully saluted, he quickly left. Donning stood in the hall on the top floor of the apartment and looked at the high platform extending from the glass. That should be the place where Alkmaar would meet. The distance from the ground of this dome space was three meters. Below the high platform was a huge swimming pool.
The huge swimming pool could be used to relax and at the same time could be used to protect the owner who would appear on the high platform. It made it difficult for people standing in this hall to approach below the high platform and avoid posing a threat to the owner. They could only look from a distance and couldn't even see the other party's face clearly.
The cunning Alkmaar was not easy to deal with. Donning had already prepared himself mentally. This game was not over yet. In addition to taking away all Alkmaar's businesses, he had to reveal some secrets and let Alkmaar deal with his allies who had broken the rules. By the way, he could also solve Mace's problem of urging marriage.
Soon someone pushed a wheelchair. Sitting on the wheelchair was an old man with a blanket covering his legs. The person pushing the wheelchair was Luke. Even though the distance was too far to see his face clearly, it could be seen from his height and attire. And the person sitting on the wheelchair was undoubtedly Alkmaar himself, one of Uncle Anubarak's most hated enemies.
Standing at a distance on the high platform, Donning respectfully took off his hat and saluted. "Mr. Alkmaar, it is a great honor to be summoned by you. May God bless you."
Alkmaar looked at the tiny young man below from a distance. A smart young man. One of the two heirs he had identified. His face didn't look good. The previous blow was too heavy. His old palm full of bulging veins trembled and showed a smile. "Young man, come closer. Raise your head and let me look at you."
Donning took steps forward and stopped at the edge of the huge swimming pool. Raised his head and looked at the old man on the high platform. There was a kind and confident smile on his face.
This was already the closest distance. Alkmaar could see it. His sharp eyes could even see everything a hundred paces away. Sitting in a wheelchair was just him trying to create an illusion.
Your enemy is already an old man on the verge of death. No matter what kind of hatred there is, you have to be more forgiving. He will die soon.
Alkmaar saw the expression of the young man and thought that his act of pretending to be pitiful had some effect. He trembled and stood up from the wheelchair. Reached out and put his hand on Luke's extended arm. Holding the arm of his most loyal servant, he walked tremblingly to the edge of the high platform and looked at the young man. "Look, just like when I was young. Confident, smart, and talented."
Donning nodded slightly to show his response.
Alkmaar released Luke's arm and put his hands on the railing of the edge of the high platform. "Young man, I think you have already heard about what happened earlier. My title has been deprived. Now I am just an ordinary businessman. They are not merciful to me at all." He showed a heartbroken expression.
Donning cooperated with the other party to act and showed an expression of sympathizing with the other party's experience. "I deeply sympathize with you. A person like you should not be treated like this."
"But no one can change the current outcome. My title has been taken away. I have become an outcast of Blot City. People no longer respect me. They can't wait to drag me out and feed me to the dogs. These are people who show respect to you on the surface but have malicious intentions in secret."
"Please believe me, sir. I am not such a person." Donning expressed his loyalty.
Alkmaar coughed a few times and his expression looked even more painful. He raised his right hand and waved it. "No, young man. You hate me. I know. I have always known. You found me to avenge your uncle."
Donning deliberately showed a surprised expression. Looked up at the old man on the high platform. As if he knew nothing about the other party knowing his background. "Mr. Alkmaar..."
Alkmaar interrupted Donning. His expression was apologetic. "I knew your purpose from the beginning. Originally, I thought about ending your life and ending this matter. But your intelligence and talent made me feel sorry. I seemed to see myself back then from you. I have always liked smart and capable young people. This made me hesitate."
Next, Luke cooperated to perform this drama. He stepped forward and looked at Donning. "Later, the sir changed his mind. His body was already very bad. He needed a young man who was equally smart and capable to manage the Alkmaar family's business. And you are the best heir."
