At that moment, Phineas and Matt were in the Brooks Manor living room.
“Dad, do you think Big Bucks Brooks will lend us money?” Mall nced around, looking worried.
“Big Bucks Brooks is filthy rich and generous to boot. He’s always had a good rtionship with our
family. It shouldn’t be a problem to borrow some money,” Phineas said, raising his cup and taking a sip.
It was obvious that he was very confident.
Although the Lacey family hadn’t been restored to its previous glory, they were still above the average
person.
Outside, they still had some status.
“If it weren’t for our family’s capital chain rupture causing our businesses to suffer majorly, we would
never have to borrow money from others,” Matt said, sighing.
Not long ago, they’d suddenly received terrible news.
Many of their big–shot partners had retracted their investments. All the business deals they’d made
previously
had gone bust.
Their entire family suffered serious damage overnight.
Now, they desperately needed a capital injection, or else the Lacey family would go bankrupt in less
than a
month.
At this point, the only one who could help them was Big Bucks Brooks.
“Speaking of that, it’s really strange how all of the investments were retracted collectively, and disaster
struck from all sides. I bet somebody’s targeting our family,” Phineas rubbed his chin in thought.
“Who’s gutsy enough to go mess with our family?” Matt mmed his palm into the table.

Their original n was to get the Immortunol form in their hands and then use the investment funds
to
conduct their own research.
This way, the Lacey family would be restored to their former glory!
However, after everything that had happened, their n was ruined.
“We still haven’t been able to look into it yet. Once we raise the funds we need and get through these
tough times, we’ll drag that bastard out!” An evil glint shed through Phineas‘ eyes.
“Dad, how much money does our family need to operate normally?” Matt asked uncertainly.
“At least three billion dors!” Phineas put up three fingers.
“That much?” Matt’s expression drooped. “Would Big Bucks Brooks agree to loan us three billion in one
go?”
“Big Bucks Brooks controls one–third of all the cash flow in Millsburg. What’re three billion dors to
him?” Phineas took a sip of tea and said casually, “Not to mention, I even came here personally. Would
he dare to say no? He should be happy that our family is cozying up to him on our own ord instead.”
“That’s true.” Hearing those words, Matt let out a sigh of relief.
The Laney family did have prestige out there; Big Bucks Brooks had to give them some respect.
As the two were speaking, the door suddenly opened, and a few people entered.
The one in the lead was none other than Roderick.
The moment they met. Phineas stood up and extended a hand, his face full of smiles. “Hey, Mr. Brooks!
Long time no see. You’ve gotten much more handsome!”
However, when he saw Dustin behind Roderick, his smile froze on his face. “Punk, what are you doing
here?!”
“You’re here, so why can’t I be here too?” Dustin retorted indifferently.
“Hmph! And who are you? Can you even bepared to us?” Phineas” expression turned cold
instantly.
“Dustin, are you here to also get a loan from Mr. Brooks?” Matt said with a suspicious look.
“Why I’m here doesn’t concern you.” Dustin’s expression remained unchanged.
“Mr. Brooks, we’ve always been friendly with each other. Don’t lend that punk any money! We have bad
blood!” Phineas said, calling a spade a spade.
In his eyes. Roderick would never go against the Laney family for a small fry.
So, he definitely won today.
“Phineas, are you sure that you have bad blood with Mr. Rhys?” Roderick smirked coolly.
“Of course!” Phineas puffed out his chest. “Mr. Brooks, to be frank, the two grudges I have with him can
never be solved, so please don’t try to lobby for him!”
