Chapter 167 – Shedding All Pretense of Cordiality (2/2)

That night, nothing else happened. Lei Yu successfully completed a cycle of cultivation and woke up early feeling in good spirits. After washing up, he went downstairs and noticed that a sumptuous breakfast was already prepared.

“Lei Yu, come try this. I had this beef dish specially prepared for you, it’s really tasty!” Mrs. Hawes’s face was full of smiles like she was expecting something. Lei Yu knew that she was involved with her husband’s plot, that’s why she sent Ai Er away and had Lafayette make her move. Lei Yu didn’t want to expose his knowledge about this situation. Unless the situation was at its last resort, then he didn’t want to make the atmosphere too awkward. With a slight smile, he said: “Thank you Mrs. Hawes.”

The Pope’s breakfast had already been sent to him upstairs by his personal staff, so that’s why he didn’t dine with Lei Yu this time.

At this moment, Mr. Hawes appeared while stretching with a yawn. After seeing Lei Yu, he glanced around and did not see Ai Er with him, so he excitedly went over. “Lei Yu, did you sleep well last night?”

Lei Yu nodded but didn’t even look at him. “Not bad, how about you Mr. Hawes?”

“Very good.” Hawes’s face was covered with a smile as he leaned towards Lei Yu’s ears and whispered: “Lafayette already told me everything about last night. It’s not a big deal; I am more than willing to accept you into our big family. I won’t tell anyone what you did to Lafayette, as long as you promise me to join the Burlinder family so everything will take its course.”

Hawes’s voice was very low, to the point that even Lei Yu had difficulty hearing what he said. But he did eventually hear every single word clearly. Hawes was trying to frame him, this made Lei Yu’s brows tightly knit together.

Pushing Hawes away, Lei Yu conspicuously said out loud: “Tell me Mr. Hawes, what did I do to your precious daughter Lafayette last night that other people shouldn’t know about?”

Hawes never imagined that Lei Yu would dare to openly say this out loud without any shame. His face slightly changed but it quickly reverted back to his smiling face. “Since you already know what I’m talking about, is it really necessary to say anything more? I hope that you will consider my proposal since this could be considered as taking responsibility for Lafayette, am I right?”

“Father!” Just at this time, it is unknown when but Lafayette was standing at the entrance to the dining room. “Don’t you think you’ve gone too far with this?”

Last night, Lafayette clearly saw that Lei Yu was holding his cell phone as if he was recording something and she didn’t bother telling that to her father. She never expected such a scene would appear before her early in the morning.

“Shut your mouth, your father is seeking justice for you!” Hawes had now shed all pretense of cordiality. Since Lei Yu had publicly asked for clarification, then he could only adapt his scheme and use it against him. “You should be clear on what you did to my daughter. I have a simple advice for you: Your girlfriend is still upstairs right? I’m sure there’s no benefit to you if she were to find out about this.”

Among the people present, there were the eighteen Holy Knights, Black Panther, Gray Bear, Hu Jiong and a few Fifth Order experts. The Holy Knights didn’t really care about this matter while people who were familiar with Lei Yu thought it was too funny and ridiculous. They’ve clearly seen how many beauties were around Lei Yu. Based on her attractiveness, Lafayette could not compete with Cui Ying Ying; her body couldn’t compete with Nami’s voluptuous body; yet Lei Yu still only loved a single person – Ai Er. Now that someone was saying Lei Yu did the deed with Hawes’s daughter, not even ghosts would believe such an obvious lie.

Furthermore, why would Lei Yu even bother to eye the Burlinder family’s inheritance? That was even more laughable. Based on his identity, Lei Yu was the Lei family’s noble second young master who possessed a wealth that could rival a country’s. Based on status, he was a heavyweight that his own country gave special attention to. When we put all of this on the table, one could see how miniscule the Burlinder family was and how ridiculous Hawes’s words were.

Lei Yu didn’t even bother with saying anything and simply took out his cell phone and placed it on the table. The screen on the cell phone was showing an opened audio player application, and he only had to press the play button and the truth would reveal itself.

Liu Hao picked up the cell phone and pressed the round Play button. The sound of a conversation then started…
