The Dragon Seal

Chapter 34 - A Wealthy Husband’s Shell



Macy shot Henry a look. Henry caught it and took the initiative to approach Augustus.

"Bro, that Mercedes you have is quite nice. You're so young but you're already driving a Mercedes. How did you do it? Can you give me a few pointers?"

Augustus immediately recognized Henry's malicious intentions.

He smiled and said seriously, "That's simple. Just find a wife who's not stingy."

Then, he looked at Macy intently, making her slapped the table and stood in anger.

"Who are you calling stingy?"

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not talking about you. After all, it's still uncertain whether you can get married."

"You…"

Augustus said casually, angered Macy to the point she wanted to spit out blood.

Henry acted as a mediator. "Bro, don't misunderstand. I just want to help you since you are Macy's neighbor. Even though your Mercedes is good, it's not your own. A true man should rely on his own ability to make money!

"I'm not talented, but I managed to achieve a few things in life after working hard. I founded my own advertising company that has tens of millions in assets! If you want, you can come work at my company. What do you think?"

Henry had a plan. If Augustus declined, at least he showed how superior he was over Augustus. If he accepted, then even better. Henry would be able to deal with Augustus however he wanted!

Walter listened in and immediately became interested. "Henry is right. Augustus, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time. You're a man, so you can't keep relying on a woman to support you! Am I right, Susan?"

"Huh? That's…"

The docile Susan did not know what to say when she was suddenly asked that question.

Walter tapped the table. "How about this? I'll settle the matters today. Henry, go and find a job for Augustus. At least we'll be able to help him!"

"Don't worry, Uncle. Since you're neighbors, I'll definitely help!" Henry looked very righteous.

"It just so happens that our company lacks a security guard. The salary isn't that high, but Augustus is only a high school graduate, so this job is just right for him."

"Good, then it's settled! Augustus, what do you think?"

Walter finished making all the arrangements before the thought occurred to him to ask for Augustus's opinion.

Augustus smiled wryly.

Was he going to tell the Jensen family that he was already the chairman of Caduceus Corporation as well as a billionaire?

After all, they were neighbors, so Augustus felt like it was better not to hurt their pride.

"No need. I don't need that job."

Augustus's polite refusal displeased the Jensen family.

Macy snorted a laugh. "Henry was kind enough to offer you a job, but you refused it. Augustus, you're too unappreciative!"

"I'm unappreciative because I didn't accept your kindness? Well, then I'll offer you a job to clean the toilets now. Do you want to accept it?"

"You…" Macy choked on her words.

Camille could not bear to watch any longer.

"It's hard to be a good samaritan nowadays. Your kind intentions would only be regarded as malice. Since he's willing to live off a woman for the rest of his life, then let's not meddle in his business!"

Walter shook his head helplessly, looking like he was disappointed in Augustus for not taking the offer.

"You're right, Aunty. We already offered our help, but if he doesn't appreciate it, then forget it. Maybe he thinks living off a woman is more enjoyable, haha…"

Camille nodded in satisfaction. "At least you're sensible, Henry. Not only do you have the backbone, but you're also capable and were able to establish a company worth tens of millions at such a young age. Compared to certain someone, you're too amazing!"

Camille glanced at Augustus with eyes full of mockery.

Augustus could not be bothered with them. Since they wanted to show off, go ahead.

Just then, a restaurant staff came over.

"Hello, Sir. A table was vacated, you can dine in now!"

"Okay."

Augustus was just about to stand up, but Henry and the others were one step ahead.

"Then we'll go ahead."

The Jensen family actually headed in to get their seats first.

Augustus was upset. He really had the first-hand experience of how shameless this family was!

Even the staff member could not stand it. "Um, I'm sorry, but this gentleman arrived first."

Macy said coldly, "Which eye of yours saw that he arrived first? It was obviously us!"

"That's right. Besides, he doesn't have money at all. Even if he eats here, how much can he eat?"

Henry laughed and led Macy and the others inside.

At that moment, a dozen burly men suddenly rushed into the restaurant.

The man in the lead had a buzzcut. Augustus recognized this person. He was Dexter's right-hand man, Max!

Max and the others clearly came here prepared. Their eyes locked directly on Henry as soon as they entered.

"F*ck!"

When Henry saw Max and the others, he ran away like a rat trying to run from a cat.

Unfortunately, before he could take two steps, Max already caught up to him.

With one good kick, Henry's front teeth were knocked out, filling his mouth with blood.

"You f*cker. Try to run! I f*cking dare you to run!"

Max kicked Henry's body fiercely, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

This scene took the crowd by surprise.

"What are you doing? How could you beat someone up in broad daylight? There are laws in this world!" Walter said righteously.

However, just as he finished speaking, Max slapped him to the ground.

"F*ck off, old man. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up with him!"

Walter was so scared that he retreated and did not dare to make a peep again.

He acted bold and confident in front of reasonable people, but when it came to unreasonable people, he was completely terrified.

"Henry is my boyfriend. If you hit him, I'll call the police!"

Macy put on an aggressive look.

Max grinned. "Call the police? Sure. This kid owes us more than eight million and refuses to pay up. I want to see if the police will arrest us or him when they come!"

"More than eight million!"

The Jensen family was shocked.

"He said that he had tens of millions! How did he owe so much money?"

In actuality, Henry did have money and opened a company, but because of his poor business management, he was on the verge of bankruptcy. In his desperation, he had no choice but to borrow money from loan sharks. However, not only did he end up losing the company, but he was also knee-deep in debt.

Henry crawled over and hugged Max's leg. "Bro, it's not that I don't want to pay you back. I really don't have money. Give me a few more days! Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back when I get the money…"

"B*llshit!" Max slapped Henry's face and roared, "You have no money yet you dared to buy a f*cking car! You have no money yet you dared to dine at Halmont Banquet! You think I'm a f*cking idiot, don't you? I'll kill you!"

"Bro, please spare my life! I… I didn't buy the car. I borrowed it from a friend. I also borrowed the money to eat here today! I only did it to save my face in front of my girlfriend!"

Henry confessed to everything anxiously.

The Jensen family was completely stunned.

They thought that they caught a wealthy future husband and son-in-law, but it was just an empty shell!
