Chapter 549

Felix watched other visitors freely entering and exiting Sixview Peak. Only an idiot would not realize Drake was behind this obstruction.

Drake strutted over, his eyes full of arrogance. "Can you see the difference between us? This small example should make you understand your place.

"If you kneel before me now and sincerely promise to stay away from Nancy, I'll let this go and won't take any further action," Drake declared smugly. Felix ignored him, already considering Drake a dead man. After getting what he needed from Sixview Peak, he would have Seven from the Flair deal with him.

"Can you give me a valid reason for denying my entry? Otherwise, I'll have to pursue my legal rights," Felix addressed the guards. Before they could answer, a new voice interrupted, "Sixview Peak welcomes all visitors, but why enter when you're not a believer?" A chubby young man about Felix's age emerged, his innocent face contrasting with his wise -sounding words.

The two gatekeepers immediately bowed and greeted the man respectfully, "Mr. Stefan."

"Very poetic, Mr. Stefan, but not convincing," Felix replied. "By that logic, many people shouldn't be allowed in. I need a real reason.

Billy Stefan's friendly expression shifted slightly. He stepped closer and leaned in, whispering, "Stubborn, aren't you? Fine. I'll spell it out.

"Mr. Sterling here donated one million dollars to Sixview Peak-on the condition that you don't set foot inside. As a supervisor, I can't exactly refuse him, can I? Even monks need funding, Felix. We've got bills to pay too, you know." Felix looked surprised. In a place like this, the supervisor was second only to the head priest, making Billy a big deal. Felix could not help but marvel at how someone so young had already climbed to such a high rank.

As expected, it all came down to money. Nearby, Drake smirked smugly and chimed in, Well? Ready to kneel and apologize? This chance is-

Felix cut him off by raising one finger. Then, he stated flatly, "I'll donate ten million dollars to Sixview Peak."

Billy's eyes widened with excitement as he turned to Drake. "Mr. Sterling, he's offering ten million dollars. Would you like to counter?"

Felix was stunned by how quickly Billy's demeanor had transformed at the mention of

money.

Drake was equally dumbfounded. He had not expected Felix to throw out such a massive sum. While Drake could technically afford it, dropping ten million dollars was pure insanity. If his family found out, they would probably disown him-or worse. Drake scoffed, recovering his composure. "Look at him, Mr. Stefan. Does he look like someone who has ten million dollars? He's just bluffing to get inside."

In Canraville, young people who could casually donate ten million dollars without ulterior motives were rare enough to count on one hand. Hence, Drake believed Felix was bluffing.

Billy grinned mischievously and turned to Felix. "Well, you heard him. Care to give him a solid rebuttal?"

Felix clenched his jaw, resisting the urge to slap that smug look off Billy's round face. The man was insufferable, a far cry from his earlier refined demeanor.

"Give me Sixview Peak's account number," Felix demanded.

Billy eagerly provided it, his face lighting up as Felix pulled out his phone and began typing.

Drake could not help but laugh at the scene unfolding before him.
