I'M A QUADRILLIONAIRE - Season 5 Episode 49

“Mr. Lidell, we’ve already sent your friend to the hospital. He’s rather weak and it’ll take him some time to recover completely. How should we deal with the rest?” Cade asked.

“Mr. Nelson, I was hoping you would catch everyone involved in this. I do not want to see people of power using their authority to harm ordinary people.”

“Yes, of course, Mr. Lidell! I’ll straighten out the whole of South River Province once I return! I promise this won’t happen again.”

“Thank you, Mr. Nelson. Are you free right now? Perhaps we could talk over a meal?” David invited.

David was not an impudent man, and Cade was indeed treating him with courtesy despite being a provincial minister and his elder.

“I would love to!” Cade replied.

As if he would reject the opportunity to get to know David better.

Not when he came all the way here just to leave a good impression on David.

“You first, Mr. Nelson!”

“No, you, Mr. Lidell!”

They then left together.

Behind them, the SCC members watched as David and Cade chatted among themselves.

“Holy sh*t, isn’t that the South River Province cabinet minister, Mr. Nelson?”

“You’re right! As expected of Mr. Lidell! He’s so awesome! Even Mr. Nelson treats him with courtesy.”

“Walk faster! We don’t want to get left behind!”

The group of twenty to thirty members quickly followed David in a row of twenty to thirty cars.

Once David and his group left, Eden, Vere, Milton, and their sons were left to kneel on the

floor.

There were also a lot of people gathering to watch from afar.

The six of them were well known in Shu City, so it was natural that they attracted much attention as they knelt on the floor.

Not that the crowd dared to approach them as they feared retribution from these six.

David and the others may have left, but Eden, Vere, Milton, and the others did not dare to stand yet.

They were still terrified from what happened an hour ago.

“Talk! Who did you three offend, hmm? Not only did we face pressure from various aristocratic families in South River Province, but our provincial cabinet minister came as well! We may be your dads but that doesn’t mean we’re obligated to follow you into trouble!” Eden looked up and smacked Gilbert’s head, questioning sternly.

“Dad! I-I don’t know either!” Gilbert said pitifully.

“You don’t know? I told you to be careful of who you bully, didn’t I? I told you to steer clear of people you couldn’t afford to offend! Look what you’ve done now! We’re all screwed!”

“Dad! What do we do now, then?” Gilbert asked shakily.

“What do we do? What else can we do but kneel and wait here?”

“Vere, did you not receive any news?” Milton asked Vere.

They were all involved in the incident with King Kong and were local forces in Shu City. They had the same interests and they benefited and lost as one entity.

“Nothing at all! We were still preparing for Mr. Nelson’s arrival, but the moment he arrived, he had me come here and kneel to repent! It might not be the end for us if we’re forgiven, but if we’re not, our lives are over in Somerland,” Vere said solemnly.

He still had no idea what was going on.

However, he knew that this was a huge matter as Mr. Nelson himself had come to solve the

issue.

It still chilled him to the bone when he recalled Mr. Nelson’s attitude just now.

“What? They’re that powerful?!” Milton fell to his butt in shock. “We’re screwed! Screwed, I tell you! Completely screwed!” Eden muttered to himself.

“Dad! I don’t think it’s our fault! Sure, we’re horrible to people but we’ve been in Shu City the whole time! We’ve never acted out of line when we left Shu City, so there’s no way we could’ve offended someone so important! What if they’re coming after you guys instead?” Lincoln analyzed.

“Yeah! I agree with Lincoln. There’s no way we could have offended someone so powerful in Shu City!” Jed chimed in.

“We’re innocent, Dad! This isn’t our fault at all,” Gilbert said pitifully.

“Then who are we dealing with? Why are they doing this?”
