The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 76

They know about Ken being tricked by his business partners and they think of ways to help him. After all, if Ken goes bankrupt, their lives will be miserable too. They will prosper together and fall from grace together. However, this handsome and polite student named David in front of them could spend 100 million to help ken.

How old?

He looked like he was only about 21 or 22 years old. He is very young and already has 100 million dollars on hand. There was no way he himself would make this money, so it was definitely from his family.

His family could take 100 million at random for their child and they didn't even ask what he wanted to do with it. How much money does this family have?

Is this the little family business David mentioned?

If it is a small business, then what about their business? A wreck?

The people who were mocking David cynically in the afternoon blushed. They feel ashamed. They even feared their profits would be reduced if David became the Smith family's surviving son-in-law.

How funny. Will a child from a wealthy family become a stay-at-home daughter-in-law?

Plus, wouldn't a relative like them benefit from the Smith family marrying into a super aristocratic family like this?

Perhaps one day, they would have tens of millions while relying on David and Tara.

At that moment, everyone looked at David differently. It has gone from humiliation and sarcasm to pandering. This is the power of money. Today, for them, David has gone from being a poor man who wants to rely on the Smith family to someone the entire Smith family wants to rely on. His position has shifted.

At this moment, David said pretently, “Master. Smith, you don't have to be so polite. Tara and I are good friends and 100 million is nothing to me.”

Everyone in the room was numb. Only a super rich kid like David could make 100 million sound like 10 grand.

“A 100 million dollars might mean nothing to you, but it means a lot to the Smith family. Without it, we would have been done. Everyone here should thank you.”

Ken observed everyone in the room as he said that. He saw how everyone treated David today. The reason he didn't say anything was to see how these people would react when he told them the truth.

How dare they look down on David! They have to go back and think if they can sit here and eat so happily if David doesn't help them. They all have to go home and cry!

“Yes, thank you for saving us all, Mr. Lidell. This drink is for you. I'll drink now and you can take your time.”

Tara's aunt, Mary, quickly stood up and said to David while raising her glass. He was the one who made fun of David the most since the afternoon, and he was also very picky about David.

Ken has no son, so he cannot bequeath Smith's surname. But Aunt Mary had a son, so she could.

Therefore, even though Ken was the most promising person in the Smith family, Old Master Smith had always liked his second son because he had a male heir.

Ken was also very devoted, so with Old Master Smith's intervention in the middle, his second son would get the most benefit among the relatives. They even told Old Master Smith secretly that if Ken gave all his assets to his two daughters in the future, then the money would have nothing to do with the Smiths anymore. They wanted the old master to get some of that inheritance from him.

Maybe one day his family will have hundreds of millions of assets. If that's the case, he doesn't have to work too hard. How great it is to be a rich woman!

As she thought about this, Aunt Mary looked at David with a smile on her face, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more he looked at her, the happier she was.

“Mr Lidell, thank you for the generosity that allowed the Smith family to return. I toast this to you again. I'll drink it now, take your time.”

The adults at the two tables toast to David one after the other. The most obvious change was how they called out to him now. In the afternoon, they called him David or Dave, but now, they all call him Mr. Lidell.

Also, when everyone toasts to David in the afternoon, they will only stop after David has finished his drink. However, right now, they were all going to drink first while David only took a slight sip. They wouldn't dare say anything even if David didn't drink. This is a change in status and position.

The dinner continues. David had been the star of that dinner. Now, everyone respects David whether intentionally or not. If he wanted to eat something, the food would stop in front of him for a very long time. The host and dinner guests have enjoyed themselves.

When it was almost finished, the door was pushed open. They thought it was a servant, but a rude voice sounded. It was definitely not the voice of the servant.

“Master Smith, here we go! It's very hard to find you.”

When Ken heard the voice, his expression changed. That person came with a fierce look. He even had a few men following behind him, and it was clear that he was not a good person.

After entering the room, he slapped Ken on the shoulder with such force that the knife in Ken's right hand fell to the floor.

“Eric, what are you doing? It's a family meeting, don't make trouble here.” Ken said angrily.

“I make trouble? Why am I still troubling you if you've dealt with our affairs? You are rich and you have returned now, plus you are the famous Mr. Smith again. What's wrong? Am I nothing to you now?” Eric Waters asked as he narrowed his eyes.

“Eric, this is between you and Harvey. It has nothing to do with me or the company.” Ken said.

Harvey Neale is Ken's former partner. He stole all the company's property and even borrowed a lot of money on behalf of the company. Ken has paid back all his money. After all, it was borrowed on behalf of the company, and he was still the legal representative of the company, so he had to pay his debts.

He could only blame himself for being friends with the wrong person. However, it was Harvey who got a personal loan from Eric, and it made sense that Ken was not to blame for this.

Since Eric can't find Harvey now, he can only search for his former company and Ken. In addition, Eric was also a famous local tyrant, and he had many people working under him.

A lot of people are making trouble at Ken companies these days. They all asked Ken to pay them. When Ken calls the police, they'll leave and when the police leave, they'll be back.

As the saying goes, ‘better offend nobles than villains'. This is the meaning of the saying.

Ken felt very helpless with Eric's tireless reprimand. He was also thinking of returning the money, but not only did Eric ask for the 500 thousand principal, but he also asked for 1 million interest, which totals 1.5 million.

Only then did Ken stop thinking about paying him to get rid of this problem. Once someone like Eric benefits, he'll be like a shark that smells blood. It was impossible to get rid of him once he got close.
