Chapter 231
At this instant, Brett Han was infuriated, trembling in anger. He pointed to Fade Chen, roaring, "You killed my dogs, and it will cost you your life."
"According to what you said earlier, these are wild dogs. How can you suddenly be their owner?" Fade spoke coldly.
"These dogs are mine." Brett insisted.
"Are they really yours? Do they have any tags with your name on it?" Fade replied, repeating his earlier words. He then walked past him dismissively.
Brett was boiling with rage, but he did not dare take action against Fade.
Fade paced a few steps, seemingly thoughtful. He suddenly stood still, grabbed the tails of the three dogs, and dragged them away. "By the way, I heard that dog meat is excellent, especially wild dogs. It's an acquired taste, and must be savored."
"How dare you..." The sight of his dead dogs, who had been struck down by Fade, was already of utmost distress to Brett. Hearing that they would end up as an exotic dish to be consumed, caused his fury to increase greatly. However, he could only suppress his anger and did not dare take any action to stop him from doing this.
He had no choice but to look on helplessly as Fade dragged away the three wolf dogs that he had raised from young.
Although Fade had killed the three wolf dogs, Xenia Xu's family had suffered heavy losses in regards to the pheasants they were rearing. Xenia's mother still had a gloomy expression on her face, and Xenia continued trying to console her.
Seeing this, Fade had a brainwave. He called Xenia over and said, "Xenia, I think auntie is very fond of rearing these pheasants. How about directly building a pheasant farm for her to breed them? Auntie seems to enjoy doing this, and she should be able to earn a good income from it as well!"
Xenia's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this. She said, "It's a good idea. However, I'm afraid it will require a large amount in terms of start-up fund for us to open a farm."
Fade thumped his chest and said, "I will cover the start- up fund. I will sponsor auntie as much as she needs."
Xenia shook her head quickly and said, "Doctor Chen, that's your money. How can we just ask you for such a favor? I think it would be better if I took a loan from you?"
Around the time, opening a farm would require a start-up fund of around a hundred thousand or more, and Fade did not consider this a huge amount. Initially, he intended to turn her down. However, when he saw the earnest expression on Xenia's face, he nodded and said, "Alright, I will loan the money to you."
"I will still need to seek my mother's approval. After all, I am tied to my working hours, and don't have the time or energy to be responsible for these matters." Xenia said.
"Sure, you can discuss this matter with auntie." Fade said.
Xenia nodded. She then went into the house and began a discussion with her mother.
When her mother heard the idea of opening a pheasant farm and expanding her current business, she was naturally interested. When the topic of the start-up funds was broached, her mother insisted that she should take a loan from Fade with interest. She could not take advantage of Fade's generosity.
After auntie had agreed to these terms and conditions, Fade immediately rushed to take action. He made a few phone calls to Tom Wei,asking him if he knew anyone who had some knowledge of these matters. Fade also made a request to Tom Wei if he could send a few of them over to help out.
After about three hours, Xenia and her mother, who had just agreed to the plan, noticed a group of people coming into the village. They were farm owners, construction workers, architects and engineers.
As they arrived, they wasted no time,immediately beginning with a survey of the land. They also examined and studied all the relevant issues involved. An hour later, a general plan had been drafted.
Xenia and her mother were astonished by this efficient way of doing things, and were more than delighted. After all, they were going to be owners of a pheasant farm, a total upgrade from having just a small home business. In the future, the Xu family's profile would become higher in the village.
When the villagers heard the news that the Xu family was opening a farm, they rushed over to observe all that was going on. Some people wanted to ask in advance if they could have a job at the farm, while some people wanted to gain some knowledge for their own future plans. There were also those who wanted to network and build relationships.
Xenia's mother did not reject anyone who had the potential to help out, and agreed to their requests.
But just as the Xu family was occupied with these matters, Brett returned home in gloom.
In front of him, sat a middle-aged man around his fifties. The man was thinking carefully and his face was quivering. At this moment, he was listening intently to his son's words, with an expression of sternness.
"Father, Xenia crossed the line. Not only did she get involved with some barbarian,she got him to beat me up and kill my dogs. I must seek revenge."
This middle- aged man was Wyman Han, Brett's father. After listening to Brett's words, he frowned and said, "She's just some petty woman. Don't be so useless, complaining all the time. Don't let others look down on the Han family." This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Brett pouted and said, "Father, I've been in love with Xenia for a long time, you are aware of this fact. But now..."
He wanted to continue, but when he saw the change in his father's expression, he immediately changed the topic and said, "Father, the Xu family is rising in prominence. I heard that they are starting a farm now. They are going to rent a piece of land behind the mountain and directly build their farm there. If the Xu family succeeds, our Han family will not be able to maintain our status as the richest in the village. Moreover, we were going to rent that land and mine for precious stones!"
Wyman did not speak after hearing his son's words, but his heart sank. His son was right, he had been eyeing the land behind the mountains for a long time. He had always wanted to acquire it and do something with it. However, his business profits were not enough then, so he had to delay his acquisition plan. Unexpectedly, someone had made the move to acquire it now, which caused him to feel rather resentful.
Seeing the change of expression on his father's face, Brett continued to stir the pot. "Dad, we have to act quickly. I heard that the Xu family has hired people to come and settle all these issues.They are about to meet with the village committee and sign the contract. Once that is done, they can immediately begin with construction."
Wyman slammed his hand down on the table, exclaiming in a cold tone, "Sign the contract? It won't be that simple. Please make a trip to the home of the village head and inform him of my views on this matter. I will go to town and ask a few people to come over to help us."
Hearing this, Brett couldn't contain his glee,and quickly said, "Alright, I will go right now. By the way father, don't forget to invite a few highly skilled martial-art fighters to come over. That fellow needs to be taught a lesson."
"I know. We can't allow anyone to pick on members of the Han family," Wyman said coldly.
As for Xenia's family, after being occupied with a lot of work, the general plan was finally drafted by evening. The next important step would be the signing of the acquisition contract for the land behind the mountains.
Thus, Xenia and her companions proceeded to the home of the village head, ready to sign the contract.
But as they entered the home of the village head, they spotted Brett sitting next to the village head. Xenia's face fell instantly, asking, "Why are you here?"
Brett replied with a dubious smile, "I am visiting the village head as guest. Am I not allowed to do so?"
Xenia snorted, ignoring Brett. She walked forward with her mother to the village chief and said with a smile, "Good evening sir, you had agreed to our acquisition of the land behind the mountains. Let's proceed with the signing of the contract."
