"Mister Lester, don''t get too worked up. I''ll talk to Wace," Wendy piped up at once when she noticed Chad''s temper.


    Chad did not have the heart to keep yelling in front of his future daughter-inw, so he sat back down with a sigh. "Wace, be good to Wendy. She''s far wiser than you, and I''d feel a lot better with her helping you out."  Wace merely nodded.


    However, Wilbur could sense the implication of Chad''s words. It felt like Chad was hinting at passing on his legacy.


    Chad had probably handpicked this daughter-inw to help his useless son out, and definitely respected Wendy to a certain degree.


    Wilbur said, "Mister Lester, cheer up. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. You''ve got a better chance at winning if you calm down."  "Wow, look at Mister Quotes here!" Yohan smirked at Wilbur. "I''m only letting you sit here because of Mister Lester, so you can shut your mouth. My Giftgather Vi isn''t open to just about anyone."  Wilbur chuckled and said nothing, but Yohan got angry and shouted, "What''s the meaning of that, young man?"  Wilbur was about to respond when someone shouted, "We warmly welcShane Weiss, head butler of the Weiss n." Everyone looked toward the door. They saw a man in his fifties making his way in slowly with two people following behind him.


    Shane was all smiles, waving to everyone else. "I''m sorry for myte arrival! The traffic was awful. Please forgive me."  This man sounded nothing but polite, a ssic businessman who was sure to win the hearts of any stranger with ease.


    Yohan said, "Butler Weiss, please have a seat."  "Of course, of course." Shane bowed to everyone around him, turning to sit on the other side of Yohan. He was right across from Chad and the rest.


    Just then, Yohan said, "We''re all from Taya City, so I''ll get straight to the point here. There''s been a misunderstanding between the Lester family and the Weiss n, and I''m honored that you''ve askedto mediate a discussion between both parties. Let''s just get whatever we want to say out, and fix this, shall we?"  Yet Chad said, "Butler Weiss. Why isn''t the head of your n here?"  "Ah, he''s a little busy and just senttoday," Shane smiled.

    Chad''s expression darkened, and he looked at Yohan. "Elder Yale, | don''t think this is right. Surely Butler Weiss can''t make a decision on behalf of the entire n."  Chad was polite enough, but that was very disrespectful of the Weiss family to just send a butler over. It was clear they did not take the Lesters seriously.


    "Chad, I''m sure Butler Weiss was given the authority to make decisions on behalf of the Weiss n today since he''s here. Isn''t that right, Butler Weiss?" Yohan said.


    Shane chuckled. "You''re exactly right, Elder Yale. Of course, I''m going to be calling the shots here."  "See? All is well. Let''s get to the discussion," Yohan said.


    Chad gritted his teeth but continued. "My coal mine costs at least one point two billion dors, but you''ve only offeredthirty million. Isn''t that a little unfair?"  "Mister Lester, thirty million is honestly a pretty generous amount. You can either take it or leave it," Shane was still all smiles as he spoke, but his words were impossibly disrespectful.


    Chad almost blew up with rage, turning to Yohan. "Elder Yale, do you think this is fair?"  "It really isn''t," Yohan said with a frown. "It is true that your offer is a little low, Butler Weiss. How about adding another twenty million on my behalf?"  Yohan''s words caught Chadpletely off guard.
