Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 139 Am I really your biological child?

William walked out and not even half a minute later, Christopher also followed suit, standing at the doorway signaling a waiter.

Aside from William, everyone’s eyes were fixed on him.

Christopher was a national figure, a renowned entrepreneur, and the wealthiest man in New York City.

Perhaps recognizing him, the waiter approached and whispered, “May I assist you with anything, sir?”

“Bring your boss here.” Christopher stated bluntly without delving into details, given the somewhat terrifying state of the room, with even the walls showing cracks.

Since William had stated that he was just a regular person, the matter needed to be handled discreetly.

The waiter, not daring to delay, hurried to the front desk to fetch the manager. Upon realizing it was Christopher, the manager had no choice but to call the owner of the hotel over.

William had no interest in learning how Christopher would deal with the follow-up. He simply left with Lucy and Wyatt.

David was utterly shocked.

What on earth happened in that room?

Despite the three-star Michelin hotel room having excellent soundproofing, the three loud bangs were clearly heard from outside. It was evident that there had been a confrontation between William and Christopher’s bodyguard.

How formidable Christopher’s bodyguard was remained unknown, but judging by Christopher’s status, one could infer that the bodyguard was certainly not weak.

With William emerging unscathed and Christopher personally calling the hotel owner, putting these events together was terrifying to contemplate.

The hotel owner rushed over and Christopher led him into the room before closing the door.

Seeing the state of the room, the hotel owner was completely stunned.

He was very aware of the quality of the walls in their hotel; even wildly hammering them with a sledgehammer wouldn’t likely create such damage.

Christopher asked calmly, “Do you know who I am?”

The hotel owner nodded hurriedly, saying, “Mr. Carter, of course, I know you. My name is Gregory, I am the majority shareholder of this hotel.”

Christopher nodded slightly, instructing, “Handle everything in this room. I don’t want to hear any strange comments. Nothing happened in this room tonight, understand?”

“I understand, I understand!” Gregory nodded continuously, ensuring, “Rest assured Mr. Carter, I will handle it appropriately.”

“That will be good.” Christopher handed a business card to Gregory, “If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to call me.”

Holding Christopher’s business card, Gregory’s hands trembled. This gesture from Christopher was extremely valuable, possibly a game-changer for his fate.

Christopher didn’t linger, heading towards the exit he said to Lila, “Let’s go home.”

Lila and Ryan didn’t dare to ask further, especially since William had already left.

“Mr. Carter, that William is too arrogant. Do I need to teach him a lesson?” David was somewhat anxious, unable to grasp what exactly was happening.

After Christopher called William in, it took just a short while before William walked out, swaggering.

What exactly was Christopher’s attitude towards William? What had really transpired inside the private room?

Upon hearing David’s words, Christopher just gave him a deep look, remained silent, and walked away.

Was William really that arrogant?

If a person had the strength, any amount of arrogance wasn’t excessive, right?

David actually wanted to teach William a lesson?

Was he even qualified?

William had said that he was just an ordinary person, so it was best to act as if nothing happened today.

If David was seeking his own death, then let him be.

As Christopher turned around, there was a hint of schadenfreude in his heart; today he had indeed kicked a metal plate.

How could someone find joy in kicking a metal plate or spraining their ankle?

As Christopher and his group left the hotel, Lila asked in a low voice, “Dad, what did you and William talk about?”

“Your marriage.” Christopher usually found his work to be quite exhausting, so teasing his daughter a bit was quite enjoyable.

“Ah?” Lila was so startled she stopped in her tracks.

“Just kidding! Got scared?” Christopher laughed, “Rest assured, your marriage is for you to decide, no one can force you. As for William…”

Speaking of William, Christopher’s smile gradually froze.

William referred to his old father as Tony, which confirmed that William was even older than his father. Even if he was a high-level Soulmancer capable of altering his appearance, wasn’t the age gap with Lila too much?

Lila didn’t quite understand her father’s point. Ryan, however, cheerfully said, “Sis, don’t worry. If you like William, I’ll help you win him over.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than both Christopher and Lila were glaring at him sternly.

Christopher wanted to fiercely scold this silly boy right now.

Lila had long wanted to hit her little brother.

Would she have been this embarrassed today if it wasn’t for Ryan?

“I… Did I say something wrong?” Ryan looked nervously at his dad, then at his sister. His heart was in turmoil, feeling something was off with the expressions in their eyes.

Father and daughter shouted in unison, “Shut up!”

Ryan almost burst into tears, now wishing to go back and ask his mother if he was truly their blood relative, wondering why both his father and sister were targeting him.

“Regarding William… just listen to your grandfather,” Christopher said, now more composed than before. However, up to now, he was even less clear about William’s identity.

Previously, he had speculated that William might be the child of his father Anthony Carter’s good friend. Now, all he could do was to regard William as an old acquaintance of the elder gentleman…

Certainly a bizarre old being who has lived for a very long time!

That evening, William didn’t go home but returned to the school with Lucy in a car.

Walking under the tree-lined path at the school, Lucy asked, “William, Lila’s dad didn’t do anything to you, right?”

“What could he do to me?” William laughed, “We just had a simple chat.”

“That’s good!” Lucy inquired further, “Are you close with that Lana?”

“We met just today.”

William answered truthfully, but Lucy felt they might not be acquaintances of just one day. Perhaps William said so just to consider her feelings.

Hmm? Had William started considering her feelings?

Could it be that William also had affection for her?

It had to be said that Lucy’s train of thought was indeed quite far-fetched. A phrase as simple as it could be, yet she could stretch it endlessly.

Or one could say that most women tend to be emotional when contemplating matters. 𝗼𝘃𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴

Many times, men are merely elaborating a simple fact, yet women can always think of something deeper.

In the end, William still escorted Lucy to the entrance of the girls’ dormitory. He casually asked about the cost for this mingling event, to which Lucy responded that she would message him the details once she returned.

After all, the two were not very familiar with each other yet. If Lucy wanted to chat with William, it was always good to have a topic to kick-start the conversation.
