The last time Bidegla escaped death was just a mistake, but now, seeing Bidegla causing trouble again, the murderous intent in Cyril Hanni's heart began to surge once more.
Since Bidegla appeared, he has not experienced any good fortune. First, he lost face in a bet, then suffered a loss of over twenty million, and was later threatened by that scoundrel Stuart Buzer. And now, with Bidegla openly taking his wife in front of so many people, how could he possibly tolerate it?
"Bidegla, I swear to kill you. If you don't die, I, Cyril Hanni, swear not to be human!" Cyril Hanni secretly vowed in his heart. As he looked at Bidegla again, his gaze was that of a man looking at a dead person.
All of Cyril Hanni's changes naturally fell into Bidegla's eyes. At this moment, as he slowly calmed down, Bidegla sensed that he had indeed provoked Cyril Hanni's murderous intent.
But now, Bidegla was daring and unafraid. With his current strength, ordinary hooligans would just be beaten if they crossed him, and even real killers could be defeated. But he feared that Cyril Hanni might go mad and harm those around him. So, at this moment, the cancerous tumor, Bidegla had to be removed, or else this time bomb might explode at any moment.
Cyril Hanni wanted to kill Bidegla, and at this moment, Bidegla also felt the urge to kill. He had killed before, and even his subordinates had taken ten lives. He wouldn't mind adding another to the list.
"Be careful of this Cyril Hanni. He's no good person," whispered Jennie Laura in Bidegla's ear, with concern.
"Don't worry, even bandits dare to fight me. Why should I be afraid of him? We'll just avoid him in the future," Bidegla said, against his true feelings.
"Good," nodded Jennie Laura, and then frowned at the chaotic meeting room.
Everyone was talking loudly, with no attempts to conceal anything. Most of the conversation was about opposing Maik Laura's decision. This marriage must not be canceled.
"Chairman Laura, you still haven't answered me," Tyme Hanni shouted again, silencing the surrounding conversations.
The main characters today, aside from Bidegla and Jennie Laura, were the Hanni father and son. They had been in the Laura family for more than ten days, and the marriage had already been arranged. But now, with Maik Laura having second thoughts, Tyme Hanni's expression was very unpleasant.
"My intention is very clear. I will not agree to this marriage. I only have one son-in-law, and that is the one beside me, Bidegla," Maik Laura said, patting Bidegla on the shoulder, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Well, I always thought that the head of the Laura family was an honest man, but I never expected him to do such a thing. It truly surprises me," Tyme Hanni sneered, with a strong sense of sarcasm.
"No need to say more. This is my decision for my daughter, and it has nothing to do with our group. This is just my personal opinion," Maik Laura said, before adding slowly, "I will return forty percent of the shares of your group intact, and I will give you an extra billion as compensation, from my own pocket."
Maik Laura's tone was very grand, and he casually offered a billion as soon as he spoke.
“Master, our group has always conducted business with integrity. How will others perceive us if you suddenly regret the marriage?” At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up and shouted loudly.
"I have already stated that this is my personal decision and has nothing to do with the group. Furthermore, Jennie is my daughter, not a bargaining chip for business. If you are willing to send your daughter to him as a bride, I have no objections." In the face of this person's inquiry, Maik Laura's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly replied.
"You..." Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was so angry that he almost fainted.
"Master, do you really intend to act on your own?" At this point, another person stood up and demanded.
"This is my own private matter, and I certainly have the authority to make decisions. If you disagree, you are welcome to report to the chairman." Maik Laura remained calm and composed.
"Very well, I have asked my question." Seeing Maik Laura's stubbornness, this person did not continue to inquire, as he did not have the same authority as Maik Laura.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
And openly opposing Maik Laura would surely lead to his own downfall.
"May I ask, Master, why did you suddenly regret the marriage? What is the reason?" A person asked a pertinent question.
Upon hearing this, everyone in attendance stopped talking and turned their attention to Maik Laura. They were also curious to know what had led to his sudden change of heart.
Although Maik Laura had been in a position of power for many years, he had always been fair and never deceived them. But now, his decision to regret the marriage was truly incomprehensible to them.
"The reason is simple, because my daughter has found someone who can make her happy. That is enough for me." At this point, Maik Laura, who had always been indifferent, smiled and said, "Every father hopes that his daughter will find a good home, so I choose to support her."
"Master, have you considered the family's interests? We have already sent out wedding invitations, and now that everyone knows we are about to hold the wedding, it would be unfavorable to cancel it, wouldn't it?" This person redirected the conversation.
Ultimately, they did not want the marriage to be called off, especially since the wedding invitations had already been sent out. If they suddenly decided not to proceed with the wedding, they would become the subject of ridicule.
The more they cared about their reputation, the less they wanted to see such embarrassing situations.
"Then let me ask you, does the family rule prohibit free love?" Suddenly, Maik Laura's voice turned cold, and the person who spoke began to sweat.
He knew that his words might have already angered the master.
"I have said all I need to." Not daring to speak any further, the person sat down.
"Brother, although the family rule does not prohibit free love, your sudden regret of the marriage puts us in a difficult position. And you have already promised Chairman Hanni. If you continue like this, he will probably not show his face again." Seeing that no one dared to speak at this critical moment, Zhubin Laura slowly extinguished the blood pendant in his hand and said slowly.
In the entire family, probably only he was willing to confront Maik Laura. After all, they were brothers and their positions were not much different. They both had many loyal followers and controlled most of the group's main connections.
"I will naturally apologize in front of everyone for the regret of the marriage. You don't need to worry about that. And as I have said, this is my own private matter and has nothing to do with the family. It's best that you do not confuse the two." Maik Laura's tone remained calm and composed.
"Brother, you are mistaken. Although Jennie is your daughter, precisely because she is your daughter, you cannot make such a hasty decision. This concerns the honor of our entire family. You may have no shame, but we still do." Zhubin Laura's words were weighty, her sarcasm too apparent.
"If you speak in this manner, why not just marry your daughter off to Chairman Hanni's son? I recall that your mistress outside the family gave birth to a daughter nearly twenty years ago, isn't that right?" Suddenly, Maik Laura interjected, leaving Zhubin Laura stunned.
The matter of his illegitimate daughter was almost unknown within the family, and he had never brought her back home, instead providing for her financially to ensure her well-being. The fact that his elder brother knew about this hidden secret was truly shocking.
It seemed that his elder brother was privy to far more than he had imagined, leaving him feeling exposed and vulnerable.
At this moment, many eyes were fixed on Zhubin Laura with suspicion, making him feel uneasy.
To have his elder brother air such private matters was embarrassing and unsettling. Standing up from his leather chair, he declared, "Whatever decision you make, I have no say. But you must understand the kind of man Bidegla is. He is unworthy of becoming a member of our Laura family."
Zhubin Laura then directed his gaze toward Bidegla, with a look of disdain that ignited a spark, causing Bidegla to briefly startle before regaining his composure.
Though he remained calm, Jennie Laura, who was by his side, couldn't help but grip his hand with a sense of nervousness.
Meeting her eyes reassuringly, Bidegla remained silent, simply squeezing her hand, as it was not yet his turn to speak.
"Whether he is worthy or not is not for you to judge. I am Jennie's father, and it is entirely up to me to decide who she will marry," Maik Laura scoffed, dismissing his younger brother.
Opposing him was nothing new, but he had always tolerated it. However, when it came to his daughter's happiness, he could not afford to back down. With Shadow Dread sitting nearby, he couldn't let these people intimidate him, otherwise his daughter would never become his apprentice's wife.
So, no matter what, Maik Laura was determined not to let his daughter be led into a trap.
"I don't suppose you know everything, do you, brother?" Zhubin Laura suddenly chuckled, then pointed at Bidegla, saying, "I once tried to recruit this man, offering him an annual salary of half a million, but he refused, even wanting more. His greed is too strong. I believe he is after the money of our Laura group. Bringing in such a person is inviting a wolf into the house. I assume no one here wants such a man to become Jennie's husband, do they?"
With these words, the people present all looked at Bidegla with hostility, as if they had completely seen through him.
"Haha." Upon hearing Zhubin Laura's words, Bidegla was about to speak, but before he could, Maik Laura burst into laughter.
To claim that Bidegla was greedy for money was perhaps the funniest joke he had ever heard. Who was Bidegla, after all?
That is the disciple of Shadow Dread, whose wealth is a mystery to all. However, he understands that with just a word from Shadow Dread, countless people would break their heads to give him money. And Shadow Dread has also claimed that everything belongs to Bidegla, so with just a word from Bidegla, endless riches would come rolling in. To say that he is greedy for money is simply absurd.
