Chapter 922 - Taking Revenge on the Person Who Insulted His Woman (2/2)
He was just trying to say that he was not going to be manipulated easily. A sullen expression formed on Duke Moville’s face and he asked, “Rex, what do you mean?”
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “I was born to be rebellious and defiant. I’ll never allow myself to be threatened. Ever since the Ivanov Family threatened me, I’ve been keeping this feud in mind. And since it’s a feud, how can it be resolved easily?”
His words were harsh and his tone was cold. He was clearly referring to the matter about the Ivanov Family threatening him with a bunch of hair.
Duke Moville’s face grew sullen.
Duke Mo finally looked up and said, “There’s bound to be conflict in business. Rex, aren’t you overreacting?”
Si Yiyan began to squint slowly.
Wen Xinya raised the emerald wine goblet on the table and began pouring some wine into Si Yiyan’s cup. She smiled coquettishly and said, “Well said, Sir. Money is hard to earn, and we’re risking our lives to deal with firearms. Of course there’s going to be conflict. No one else would have the guts to deal in this industry unless they don’t care about their family.”
She managed to insult Duke Mo indirectly while embarra.s.sing Duke Moville.
“Miss Bella, you’re right.” Duke Moville’s temples began to throb, finding himself to have made the worst decision ever by allowing her to stay in the room. He looked at Duke Mo and said, “Did you hear that, Duke Mo?”
Duke Mo hung his head low to express his submission.
Si Yiyan bit Wen Xinya’s ear gently and said smilingly, “Baby, turns out you actually know about the unspoken rules too!”
Although he seemed to be complimenting Wen Xinya, he was mocking Duke Mo for failing to understand a simple rule that even an ignorant young girl did.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “You said before that rules come first in business, so I definitely know a thing or two.”
Duke Moville began sulking. He found it to be unreasonable for him to be the mediator since Duke Mo was the one who broke the rules first.
Si Yiyan looked at Duke Moville sternly and said, “Just like Bella said, money is not easy to earn, especially in the firearms business. Not everyone can deal with it. Back then, I spoke to the Ivanov Family and told them that only the genuinely capable ones can deal in the firearms business. Yet, they refused to heed my advice and now that things have gone awry, they decide to blame me for it. I really don’t care about this business. Anyone who wants to do it can take over.”
He was just trying to say that the Ivanov Family had landed in such a state because of their incompetence and that they ought not to blame him for it. He had also pointed out… that the Ivanov Family had s.n.a.t.c.hed the firearms business away from Lucifer.
Duke Moville’s and Duke Mo’s faces stiffened. Indeed… anyone could take over the business, but how were they supposed to make it flourish without the supply of raw materials?
He was clearly just mocking them.
Wen Xinya nudged Si Yiyan and placed the wine gla.s.s near his lips. “Don’t get too carried away with talking and forget to drink!”
