Chapter 2118

After hearing those words, Hazel Malone and the others let out a puff of laughter. The old man was still looking for a live-in son-in-law even at that moment! Harvey York was utterly speechless. He already had a wife. If word spread about Jaden Smith asking him to be the family’s live-in son-in-law, there was no way Harvey would be able to give a statement. Harvey immediately shook his head. “Senior Smith, let’s talk about it later. “Let’s deal with tonight’s problem first.” Jaden smiled brightly. “Yvonne Xavier’s problem is a big one, and other matters are only trivial. “Forget it. Since you young people have such thick skin, we’ll discuss about this after dealing with tonight’s problem then.” Jaden glanced at Alec Cloude, who was standing not too far from him. “Boy from the Cloude family. You knew that I’m hosting a birthday banquet tonight, yet you brought a coffin here to disrespect me,” said Jaden calmly. “Have you thought of the consequences?” Alec froze slightly after seeing Jaden, then burst out laughing. “Interesting. Truly interesting! “I was wondering who you are. You must be Senior Smith in the flesh! “You should know that today’s your death day, right? “What? Are you going to hop into the coffin yourself? “That’s fine by me. If you lie in there and let me bury you alive, I guarantee you that I won’t even lay a finger on everyone else here. How does that sound?” “Sounds tasteless,” replied Jaden nonchalantly. “I have so much money with me. Of course, I wouldn’t want to die, and that’s why I can’t accept your offer.” “You think you can just deny my offer if you want to?!” Again, Alec laughed maniacally. “Let me tell you right now. I have the final say here! “If I want you alive, you’ll stay alive! “If I want you dead, you die!” Alec casually pulled out a firearm and shot right in Jaden’s direction. Bang! A bullet flew right beside Jaden’s leg. A faint trail of smoke appeared out of thin air. But Jaden was not even fazed as Alec expected. He even showed no emotion then. “Oh! As expected from a big character of one of the top ten families!” Alec slightly froze after seeing the sight, then chuckled wretchedly. “Not bad. You must’ve forgotten to dodge!” Bang bang bang! Three more shots were fired around Jaden. The Smith family guards were boiling with anger. They wanted to charge forward, but the shooters were aiming right at their heads. The guards’ expressions frantically changed because of their situation. The Smith family shooters who were controlled by Alec all had the same background… The deduction had induced a bold guess in the Smith family’s minds. But the guess was ludicrous, and that was why nobody dared to say it out loud before the mystery unfolded. After being shot three more times, Jaden was still sitting in his wheelchair while showing no emotion, as if he did not mind letting Alec shoot at him. “As expected from a big character. You have some strength in you, after all. There’s no change of expression on your face at all!” Alec seemed confused. “But this is so boring!” Alec exclaimed while pouting. “How about I kill off the live-in son-in-law that you’re so interested in first, and then I’ll kill you off next?” Alec seemed exhilarated. “After all, someone told me previously that one should torture the heart before killing the body. “Simply killing takes the fun out of everything!” Alec then shifted his gaze toward Harvey, then thought about the situation for a moment. “I’ll give you a chance right now, Harvey.”
