The Immortunol form would definitely be his soon.


    “You’re mistaken. I don’t mean it that way.” Roderick uttered calmly.


    “Huh?” Phineas was puzzled. “What do you mean, then?”


    “Both of you are here to borrow my money, aren’t you?” Roderick asked back instead of


    answering.


    Phineas let out a sheepishugh. “Our family ran into some trouble recently, and we need some


    money to turn


    things around. That’s why we’vee to you, Mr. Brooks.”


    “How much do you need?”


    “About three billion dors?”


    “Three billion!” Roderick raised an eyebrow. “Sorry, but no can do.”


    “What?” Phineas shock quickly turned to dismay. “Mr. Brooks, three billion is nothing to you. Why can’t


    you


    lend us the money?”


    “Technically, I’ve already lent the money to Mr. Rhys, so you’ll have to beg him for the money.”


    Roderick replied


    with a sarcastic smile.


    “What? You lent it to him?” The father–son duo was stunned, unable to believe their ears.


    There was no way Roderick would have lent that useless punk three billion dors!


    “You’re not pulling our leg, are you, Mr. Brooks?” Phineas asked again, eyes wide.


    “Yeah! What are we supposed to do if you give the money to him?” Matt was dismayed.


    “That’s none of my business!” Roderick responded frankly.


    “Mr. Brooks, how could you lend your money to him instead of us? Considering our friendship, you’re


    carrying it too far. Do you think that brat is better than the Laney family?”


    The Laney family was a noble family that was leagues above Dustin in terms of wealth and


    connections. Any normal person would know who to side with.


    “Firstly, we’re not friends. Secondly, it’s my money. I decide who it goes to. I don’t have to ask anyone’s


    opinion. Lastly, who the fuck do you think you are? How dare youpare yourselves to Mr. Rhys! You


    should really look in a fucking mirror!” Roderick snapped scornfully.

    “Mr. Brooks! Are you going to make the Laney family your enemy just because of that brat?” Phineas


    growled.


    “Exactly! You should think this through carefully. Is the Laney family more important or that brat?” Matt


    quipped. They were sure that a businessman like Roderick would never turn his back on the Laney


    family.


    “So what if we be enemies? A penniless family like yours is trying to threaten me? Ha! You must


    have a death wish!” Roderick curled his lip.


    “I can cut off all your funds right now. I’ll make sure you never get a penny in this province!”


    at this was Bi


    His words hit thether–son duo like a bucket of ice. They’d been so agitated that they forgot


    that


    Bucks Brooks they were talking to, whose influence and wealth exceeded the Laney family a


    gazillion times.


    Even when they had been at full power, they still had to lower their heads in front of Roderick,


    let alone now.


    Nheless, they could never have dreamed that someone as powerful as Roderick would butt


    heads with


    their family for someone like Dustin.


    Did Dustin have connections they weren’t aware of?
