The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess Chapter 429

Published at 24th of January 2023 07:53:46 AM

Alex kept the matter about the pill at bay and decided to focus on his main goal.

Wearing neat noble attire, Alex and his men arrived before the Lockhart Merchant group.

The main building wasn't tall but rather wide, leading to an initial impression that it was more like a museum or art gallery.

The massive carriages stored at the park seemed to scream about a person's status and many of them belong to Lockheart's.

In front of all this, Alex's carriage looked shabby and poor.

Alex exited it and made his way toward the building.

Alex was stopped at the gates and he was checked.

"You must be Rex Hart."

"Yes, I am."

The man checked Alex and recorded his mana signature along with others for identification purposes.

A few moments later, a man appeared and greeted them.

"I am Joe Maurel and I will be your guide today. I will lead you to the Chairman once the appointed time arrives."

Walking through the corridor under some obnoxious stare made him a bit uncomfortable.

Stepping into such a large conglomerate that leads the wealth of the world was akin to blessings and only wealthy figures could step here.

So seeing him, many would already start wondering who he was.

It wasn't that they were ridiculing him, rather they were looking for future gains. If he turned out to be a rich guy, it wouldn't be wrong to behave humbly and ask for a deal.

"Sir, only you are allowed to enter from here."

Alex nodded and looked at others to stay behind.

"Riya, you can go shopping. You can take anything you want." Alex spoke with a smile.

"I will," Riya spoke with a mischievous smile after all, in a way, wasn't all this going to be Alex soon?

Led by the man, Alex passed through the display hall.

Behind the crystal, clear glasses were weapons, armour, magic stones, artifacts and many more.

Seeing the glint in Alex's eyes, Joe asked"Are you perhaps interested in any of these things?"

"Yeah!"

"These things are going to be auctioned, you can buy them from there."

Joe stood before the door and opened it and asked"Please enter."

Alex stared curiously at the door.

'Shouldn't the chairman be surrounded by many security guards?'

'It seems they want to play with me.'

Alex stepped in only to be greeted by a lousy man with a short beard who looked at him with hazy eyes.

"Hush!

"Please wait a moment."

He yawned and took out a cigar and tried to light it.

His movements were sluggish due to the drowsiness.

After lifting it and taking a few puffs, he seemed to be refreshed.

Alex stood rooted before the man and watched him with a frown.

'Was the chairman who is in charge of the Lockheart Merchant of Arkham group can do this lousy?'

The thought struck in his mind.

He looked at the room which was messy and reeked of smoke.

There weren't many things on the table except a small bowl to throw the used cigar.

"Hello, I am Rex..."

"Please have a seat."

Alex was cut off in the middle by the man who didn't even introduce himself.

"Listen, Mr Rex, I will get straight to the point."

"Your business proposal is good but it isn't that fancy that can make one scream to take part."

The man bent his body and pulled out a document and put it before Alex.

"We are going to take 90% and the rest 10% belongs to yours."

​ "Are you kidding me?" Alex asked with a surprised expression.

"Risks are mine, 60% of the investment is mine, the work will be done by me and you want me to hand over everything to you."

"Am I signing a business contract or a slave contract?"

The man clicked his tongue and took out the cigar with an annoyed look.

"Listen, country bumpkin. That's the way things are done here. Even 10% is great for you. Aren't you just a muddy villager? What the hell do you want so much money."

"Are you the chairman here?" Alex asked, suppressing his anger.

"Nah, he doesn't deal with bugs. I didn't find your business lucrative enough to send the request to him."

"I see!"

"I was correct about that."

Alex muttered slowly and covered his face and sighed heavily.

The man sneered seeing Alex's expression.

'Did you think of yourself as a hot celebrity that's gonna be worshipped?'

SWOOSH!

In an instant, the surrounding air started to tumble under heavy pressure.

Alex wasn't angered by the humiliation, rather he was disgusted by the scum working in a place where his wife spent her heart and soul.

If he wanted, he could just kidnap the chairman and sort out things but many Mythic ranks are standing here.

His and Riya's strength is enough to cross the border but the only thing that has kept him here is to help the poor people of Arkham.

That's also one of the purposes he was here but it was quite disheartening that a bug had foiled his mood.

A strong pressure fell on the man which froze his entire body.

The man was at Epic rank and he tried to pour all his mana to get out of there.

"Who are you? Weren't you just a Disciple rank?"

He screamed and looked ahead but his expression paled as he saw two bloody pairs of eyes staring at him which made him scared out of his wits.

Mana swirled around his neck.

Like an invisible hand grappling his neck, his body started to rise and the veins in his neck bulged as his neck was squeezed.

"You humiliated me, you humiliated hard-working villagers."

"Since I am just a country bumpkin I don't know the rules, do I?"

A vicious bloodied smile covered his vision, making his body shudder.

"Maggot, let me ask you a question."

A hoarse sound as fierce as thunder blast rang in his ear which ripped his mind apart.

"Tell me, how do you want to die?
