The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 676-680
Chapter 676
Sean replied excitedly, "I'll listen to you, Dad!"
Donald nodded, satisfied. "Come, let's ask Charlie Wade for a Rejuvenation Pill."
"Ask him?" Sean asked hurriedly. "How?"
"By kneeling," Donald replied indifferently. "The Moore family knelt; we will too."
"Kneel? Before Charlie Wade?" Sean yelled, jumping up. "Dad, kill me instead!"
Donald frowned. "Did you hear anything I said?"
Sean looked sad and depressed. "But Dad, kneel before him? I've only knelt for you and Grandfather! You said men never kneel!"
Donald sneered. "If Han Xin had your attitude, he wouldn't be a God of War!" He continued, "Kneeling before stabbing someone? That's a hero!"
Sean nodded slightly. "Okay, Dad."
Donald patted his shoulder, smiling. "Adaptability is a great improvement!" He couldn't hide his excitement. "Let's go to the Moore mansion!"
Charlie Wade had already helped Lord Moore to his feet. The other Moore family members followed suit, lining up to offer birthday gifts. Charlie Wade returned to his seat, allowing the banquet to continue.
A crowd gathered around him, excitedly bidding on a Rejuvenation Pill. Bids soared from three hundred million to five hundred million dollars. Charlie Wade replied indifferently, "I'm sorry, I received the pill accidentally. I have no more."
Someone recognized him as Master Wade, who had killed Feng Shui master Jack Yaleman. He shouted, "Master Wade, you must have refined this pill! Have compassion! We'll pay top price!"
Charlie Wade knew he couldn't maintain peace if his ability to refine the pills became known. He replied lightly, "Even as the supreme leader of the metaphysics circle, some things are beyond my abilities." He added with a regretful look, "My research suggests this pill was refined by an ancient genius doctor and warlock for emperors and generals. The method is lost, so it's impossible to recreate. I will share if I ever can."
The crowd gave up, hoping Charlie Wade might one day refine more. Donald and Sean entered the Moore mansion just then. Sean quickly told his father, "Dad, Charlie Wade has no more pills!"
"Doesn't have any more?" Donald smiled contemptuously. "I don't believe him!"
Chapter 677
Seeing his father's firm belief, Sean asked, "Dad, you're really going to beg Charlie Wade for a pill?"
"Yes," Donald nodded. "You'll apologize on your behalf, kneel, and beg for forgiveness. Then I'll ask for a pill."
Sean looked depressed. "You want me to kneel and apologize, then you'll ask for the pill?"
Donald glared. "Any objections?"
Startled, Sean hurriedly waved his hands. "Nono objections!"
Donald nodded, satisfied. "A man must be flexible. If kneeling is useless, I'll kneel too. For the Rejuvenation Pill, I'd call him father! Is anything more important than life?"
Sean knew his father was hooked. There was nothing more to say.
As they walked back, Charlie Wade had dismissed the crowd. The birthday banquet was about to begin, but he noticed two empty seats—those reserved for Anthony and Xyla. He wondered if something was wrong. Anthony was punctual and reliable. He called Anthony.
Xyla answered, her voice nervous and aggrieved.
"Xyla? Where's your grandfather? Why aren't you at the banquet?"
Xyla replied angrily, "Master Wade, Grandfather's clinic was destroyed! He's cleaning up. We can't attend. He didn't want to spoil everyone's mood"
Charlie Wade wondered who would dare destroy Dr. Simmons' reputable clinic.
"Who did this?"
"The Webb family father and son from Sudbury! They wanted Grandfather to treat Kian, but he refused because Kian is despicable. So they sent men to destroy the clinic!"
Charlie Wade's face turned cold. Donald and his son? Anger flashed through him. "Xyla, are you or your grandfather hurt?"
"No. I wasn't there. They left when I arrived. Grandfather is fine, only the clinic is destroyed."
Relieved they weren't injured, Charlie Wade said, "Xyla, tell your grandfather I'll handle this." He hung up, cold fury burning. The Webbs were arrogant, even daring to destroy Anthony's clinic in Aurous Hill.
Chapter 678
Anthony opened the Serene World Clinic to repay Charlie Wade's kindness. Donald and his son dared to destroy it? He couldn't tolerate it!
Unexpectedly, Donald and Sean arrived, heading straight to Charlie Wade's table. Donald immediately bowed respectfully. "Master Wade, I apologize for my son's earlier offense. I brought him to apologize. Please forgive him."
Charlie Wade, still angry from the phone call, said, "Mr. Webb, you and your son called me trash. How can I be worthy of your apology? Didn't you say I'm trash you can scold and hit?"
Donald knew Charlie Wade wouldn't forgive easily. He yelled at Sean, "A*shole! Kneel and apologize to Master Wade!"
Many people turned to watch. Would Sean really kneel?
Sean was furious! He was a Webb family young master, a member of the South Region's super-rich second generation. How could his father make him kneel before a useless son-in-law?
Hesitating, he saw his father's expression. He feared his father's wrath and knelt.
"Oh my god! The Webb family young master knelt!" A huge uproar filled the banquet hall.
Sean's face burned. Donald said, "Why are you dazed? Apologize!"
Sean said, "Master Wade, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
Charlie Wade replied calmly, "A sincere apology is better than a hollow one. Let's save time."
Donald realized kneeling wasn't enough. He shouted, "Kowtow! Beg for forgiveness!"
Sean clenched his teeth and kowtowed. "Master Wade, please forgive my impulsiveness! I'm extremely sorry!"
Charlie Wade laughed playfully. "Since you apologize sincerely, let's forget it."
Donald sighed in relief. "Master Wade, I want to ask you something! Will you sell me a Rejuvenation Pill? One billion dollars!"
Everyone gasped! Five hundred million a moment ago, now one billion? The Webbs were indeed rich.
Charlie Wade smiled slightly. "Mr. Webb, you're thinking too much. I have no more pills, and even if I did, I wouldn't sell it to you for one billion, and certainly not to you!" He snorted coldly. "I remember you demanding I be responsible for beating Cain. Now you dare ask for a pill? Do you think I have a goldfish's memory?"
Chapter 679
Donald's heart tightened. He thought the sky-high price would work, but Charlie Wade was bringing up old grievances. Normally, he'd leave, but the Rejuvenation Pill was too tempting.
He knelt, clasping his hands. "Master Wade, I didn't know better. You're like a dragon. Please don't hold it against me!"
To prevent further humiliation, he praised his opponent.
But Charlie Wade wasn't angry about their insults; he was furious about the destroyed clinic. He had to avenge Anthony.
Charlie Wade looked at Donald and smiled. "One billion is tempting, but your manners are inferior to your son's."
Donald realized Charlie Wade meant he hadn't kowtowed. He didn't find it shameful; it was for the pill! He kowtowed.
"Master Wade, please! I'll transfer one billion immediately!"
Charlie Wade smiled playfully. "The pill is simple. I do have another. I intended to keep it, but your offer is good…I'll consider it…"
He took out a wooden box, identical to Lord Moore's, revealing another Rejuvenation Pill. He stood, addressing everyone. "Everyone, the Rejuvenation Pill is priceless. I hid that information, I hope you forgive me. There is another, I intended to keep it. But Mr. Webb's offer is tempting, I'll consider it."
Everyone craved the pill, but few could afford a billion dollars. And who would compete with the Webbs?
Donald looked at the pill, smelling its fragrance. "Master Wade, I'll transfer one billion immediately!"
Charlie Wade smiled. "Not so fast. There's something else."
"Something else?" Donald frowned.
Charlie Wade's expression was gloomy. "Anthony and I are close friends. How will you make amends for destroying his clinic?"
Lord Moore frowned angrily. "Donald! Dr. Simmons is a renowned doctor, a close friend! Why did you destroy his clinic?"
Chapter 680
This was tricky! Donald hadn't known about their friendship. He thought destroying the clinic would pressure Anthony. He hadn't expected this.
But he craved the pill. He pointed at Sean. "It's my son's fault! He's impulsive and ill-mannered. I didn't teach him well!"
Sean twitched. He didn't expect to bear the responsibility. Angry, he sighed and gritted his teeth. He lowered his head. "I'm sorry for my impulsiveness. I shouldn't have destroyed Dr. Simmons' clinic. Please forgive me, Master Wade!"
Donald quickly added, "Master Wade, I'll give Dr. Simmons ten times the compensation."
Charlie Wade replied lightly, "Money can't solve everything."
Donald asked, "Then how, Master Wade?"
"Me?" Charlie Wade looked at Donald, smiling. "My solution is simple…"
He grabbed Sean's wrist and twisted. Click! He broke Sean's wrist!
Sean screamed. "Ahh! My wrist! Charlie Wade, you'll die!"
Charlie Wade tossed Sean's wrist aside. "You destroyed the clinic; I broke your hand. Direct exchange!"
Sean yelled, "Dad! This trash broke my hand! I want him dead!"
Donald was stunned. He didn't expect Charlie Wade to attack his son, or to be so cruel. But the Rejuvenation Pill was paramount. He could deal with Charlie Wade later.
Donald's face darkened. "Master Wade, my son paid the price. Can you sell me the pill now?"
Charlie Wade held up the pill. Donald's eyes gleamed. Charlie Wade smiled faintly. "Compared to one billion, I think I'll keep it myself!"
He swallowed the pill.
