Chapter 121: Chapter 121 - Deliberate Trap
My arrival undoubtedly shattered the tranquil atmosphere.
Bernard Colton even unconsciously clenched his fists, glaring at me with fierce eyes.
I quickly swept my gaze around, and soon locked eyes on Blaze Colton.
Afterward, I leisurely walked over and sat down opposite Blaze.
Blaze’s brows furrowed slightly but soon relaxed.
"Are you Mason Raymond?" Blaze asked with a smile.
I nodded and said, "Mr. Colton, are the herbs and contract ready?"
Blaze laughed heartily and said, "Don’t be so hasty, young man. Have some tea first."
After saying that, Blaze waved his hand, signaling his men to pour a cup of tea for me.
"Please," Blaze said with a faint smile.
I lowered my head, then drained the tea cup in one gulp.
After finishing, I couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"Pour another cup for Mr. Raymond," Blaze said with a faint smile.
His men hurriedly refilled my cup.
I squinted my eyes, put down the tea cup, and said, "Let’s talk about business."
"Hehe, Mr. Raymond, there’s no need to be so impatient. Our Colton Family never goes back on our word. Moreover, you and Bernard became acquainted through fights. Our Colton Family is willing to make friends with you," Blaze waved his hand, still smiling.
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but sneer in my heart.
I wouldn’t believe even a punctuation mark from this sly old fox!
Blaze poured another cup of tea for me and casually said, "Mr. Raymond, it’s admirable for you to have achieved so much after coming from a small place like River City."
I glanced at him and said, "Mr. Colton is too kind. I am just lucky."
Blaze remained expressionless and continued, "I heard you are an orphan?"
My brows furrowed, feeling slightly displeased, but I still nodded and said, "Yes."
Blaze stroked his chin and sighed, "Nowadays, many wealthy young people like to leave their families and hide their identities to gain experience. I understand."
Upon hearing Blaze’s words, I had a pretty good idea of what he wanted to ask.
I didn’t say anything, waiting for Blaze to continue.
Seeing my composure, Blaze went on asking, "Not long ago, Miss Sean from the Sean Family suddenly went to River City to invest. This has caused quite a stir."
I smiled and said, "Yes, River City is just a small place. Not to mention the Sean Family from the Capital City, even the Colton Family wouldn’t be willing to invest there, right?"
"Haha, indeed, River City has no investment value," Blaze said with a smile and nod.
I fell silent again, which made Blaze feel somewhat displeased.
He tentatively asked, "Rumors have it that you are the illegitimate son of the Sean family, and their investment in River City is to support you."
I laughed.
I picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said, "Mr. Colton, I have no connection with the Sean family, and they will not provide any help for me."
Blaze’s eyes lit up, but his cautious nature still made him feel a bit uneasy.
Thus, Blaze feigned surprise and said, "It seems unlikely, doesn’t it? Miss Sean has destroyed the Hill family in a fit of rage for you. This has spread throughout Chuzzle Province."
"It’s because the Hill family kidnapped Miss Sean. It has nothing to do with me," I said.
"As for the relationship between Miss Sean and me, the Sean family does not recognize it," I confessed without any reservation.
After hearing these words from me, Blaze finally relaxed.
Since the Sean family did not recognize our relationship, Blaze had nothing to worry about.
His full-faced smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by an indescribable playfulness.
"Mason, you are still too young, reckless, and don’t understand the ways of the world. You easily exposed your true situation," Blaze said with a slightly regretful shake of his head.
"If I were you, I would have deliberately blurred my relationship with the Sean family to keep others guessing, so they wouldn’t take the risk to challenge me, but unfortunately, you’re too stupid. You were deceived by my kind appearance, and you easily revealed your bottom line," Blaze sneered.
I glanced at him and said, "You don’t really think I didn’t know your little plan, do you? You seem polite, but every word you say is testing my relationship with the Sean family."
"That’s correct," Blaze said with a light smile.
"So as long as the Sean family won’t help me, you have no worries, right?" I chuckled.
"Hahaha!" Blaze couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"You’re right, but unfortunately, you realize it too late," Blaze said with a slight shake of his head.
I snorted and said, "No, Blaze, I saw through your intentions long ago."
"Oh? Then why did you still tell me all this?" Blaze suddenly became worried.
Did this kid lie about the Sean family not helping...?
I indifferently said, "It’s because I don’t care about the Colton Family at all. Even without the support of the Sean family, the Colton Family is nothing to me."
Hearing this, Blaze’s face immediately showed a trace of anger.
"You’re really stubborn. No one has ever looked down on our Colton Family!" Blaze said coldly.
"Dad, stop talking nonsense with him! I must kill him!" Bernard Colton stood up angrily, glaring at me.
Blaze didn’t respond. Instead, he took out a box of herbs and a contract from a cabinet and placed them in front of me.
"Everything is prepared. If you have the courage, take them away," Blaze said indifferently.
I looked at the playful Blaze and couldn’t help but laugh.
Without a second thought or word, I picked up the contract and herbs.
"Thank you for the Colton Family’s gift. I will remember it," I said with a smile.
After leaving those words, I turned around and started to walk away.
But after taking just two steps, I was stopped by three men.
"Hahaha, you really are a fool. Do you think it’s so easy to take my Colton Family’s things?" Blaze couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
I looked at the three men in front of me and sneered, "Just because of these three trash, they want to stop me?"
"Mason! You are too arrogant!" Bernard Colton shouted furiously.
"These three men are all entrusted servants of my Colton Family, much stronger than me! Killing you would be as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs!" Bernard said coldly.
"Really? I don’t think so," I shook my head.
Blaze, not far away, said with a faint smile, "If you hadn’t taken the contract and herbs just now, I might have considered letting you leave the Colton Family. Unfortunately, you’ve missed that chance."
With that, Blaze sat back in his chair and casually waved his hand.
Immediately, the three men reached out to grab me!
As Bernard had said, the strength of these three was indeed above his own. Their casual grabs were fierce and brutal!
I stared coldly at the three men, my internal spiritual power instantly surging to its peak!
With a wave of my hand, a huge force suddenly burst forth!
