The Invincible Warlord’s Vengeful Awakening

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 100 Million Dollars

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was particularly oppressive.

The Pemberley family members looked at each other with anxiety, all sitting or standing uneasily.

Yara was sitting in the main seat, holding Jenson in her arms and looking very dignified.

At this moment, Jenson was telling Yara the story of his mother and father.

However, the content mostly consisted of how Lucretia was mistreated and bullied by the Pemberley family.

It was said that a child might not remember your kindness. But if you were to give them a slap, they might hold a grudge against you for a lifetime.

Now, Jenson had taken this advantage to the extreme.

“Great Grandma doesn’t like mom, and she even broke the gift that mom gave her.

“Uncles don’t like Dad either. They scold Dad for being useless.

“Also… they curse me behind my back, calling me an orphan. I remember all of it,” said Jenson.

As Jenson spoke, Yara’s face grew increasingly cold with each word.

Seeing this scene, Anna felt her heart beating faster, and her mouth twitched uncontrollably. “Haha… Children always say the darndest things. It can’t be taken seriously. It can’t be taken seriously.”

“That’s right. That’s right. Take no offense at a child’s babble…” the other members of the Pemberley family echoed.

After hesitating for a moment, Jason picked up the pieces of painting that had been torn up by Anna from the ground.

After he haphazardly put the pieces of paper together, everyone finally saw that there were three strong and powerful words written on the paper.

“Cavanaugh clan, Starhaven.”

Everyone remembered what Xavier had said before.

“My painting will benefit the Pemberley family for generations to come.”

Just based on the fact that Xavier was the heir of the Cavanaugh family, he indeed had the qualifications to boast about protecting the Pemberley family for life.

It was important to know that the Cavanaugh family was one of the Eight Clans of Starhaven.

Every one of the Eight Clans was a massive beast in Starhaven and even in the entire Avaloria.

However, the Pemberley family actually mocked and belittled the only heir of the Cavanaugh family. Every single member of the Pemberley family was burning with regret right now.

The reaction of being left with egg on their faces was completely expected by Yara.

If it were not for the consideration of Lucretia’s identity, she would have long since seized the meager assets of the Pemberley family.

Fortunately, the Pemberley family members still had a bit of conscience and were able to stop before going too far.

Therefore, Yara decided to let the Pemberley family off the hook temporarily.

Regaining her composure, she took out an envelope and handed it to Jenson, saying, “Jenson, nice to meet you. This is my gift for you.”

Jenson happily took the envelope and asked seriously, “Aunt Yara, how much money is in this envelope?”

After some thought, Yara said, “Jenson, you can buy whatever you want.”

“Wow, really? I want to buy lots and lots of Ultramen, as well as Transformers, and teddy bears, and…”

At the same time, Lucretia and Xavier, each with their own thoughts, entered the banquet hall one after the other. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Upon seeing Lucretia, Jenson jumped to the ground and dove into her embrace.

“Mom, look at this. This is the gift Aunt Yara gave me for our first meeting.” Jenson held up the envelope, showing off proudly.

“Jenson, my dear, Mom will keep the gift for you. I’ll give it to you when you grow up,” said Lucretia.

Speaking, Lucretia reached out to take the envelope from Jenson’s hand.

To her surprise, Jenson immediately hid his hands behind his back and sneered. “Hmph, you adults would never keep your promises. Max in our class worked so hard to save up his pocket money, and yet his mother spent it all.”

But a child’s strength couldn’t compare to that of an adult.

“Pshh.”

One corner of the envelope got ripped by Jenson, and then a white check fell out.

Lucretia quickly picked up the check, but the next second, her eyes were fixed on the check.

“This, this…”

Looking at Lucretia’s stunned expression, the entire Pemberley family wore looks of confusion.

Therefore, a few younger members of the Pemberley family gathered together, driven by curiosity.

When they saw the amount on the check, they all collectively became dumbfounded.

“100 million dollars…”

Struggling to suppress the shock in her heart, Lucretia promptly returned the check to Yara and said, “Yara, this gift… is too generous.

Yara smiled and casually said, “100 million dollars. It’s not a big deal, not a big deal.

“Lucretia, this is my little gift for my first meeting with Jenson. It was my own pocket money.

“When Xavier comes back to Starhaven, he’s going to inherit the family business, and all the billions of assets from the Cavanaugh Group will be his.

“Oh, by the way, Grandpa heard that you gave birth to a chubby grandson for him, and he has also prepared a gift for you.”

After speaking, Yara handed Lucretia a check and a contract.

“The check is for 2 billion dollars, and this agreement represents ten percent of the shares of Cavanaugh Group. Once signed, it’s yours.

“If you don’t want it, you can also convert it into cash, which probably… can be worth 30 billion dollars.”

When Yara finished speaking with a calm air, Lucretia was utterly bewildered, with her mind going blank.

Poor Jessica, who had just regained consciousness, rolled her eyes and passed out again after hearing the conversation between Lucretia and Yara.

The little interlude was gone in a flash.

The Pemberley family members celebrated Anna’s birthday with great trepidation.

Lucretia, who was once mocked, scorned, and even called shameless by them, was now like the center of attention surrounded by stars, having reached a height that required them to look up to.

And the one who brought about all these changes was none other than the live-in son-in-law Xavier, who had been looked down upon by them from beginning to end and treated like trash.

At that moment, the Pemberley family members were all in shock, realizing that they were the joke.

This was the most accurate portrayal of the Pemberley family members at this moment.

After the banquet, Yara stayed at Galaxy Hotel.

When Xavier and Lucretia got home, Lucretia took Jenson and hid in the room.

A week ago, Xavier’s father-in-law and mother-in-law went on a trip, leaving only him, Lucretia, and Jenson at home.

Walking out onto the balcony, Xavier pulled out a cigarette and was about to light it when he noticed a figure moving in the darkness below.

He leaped off the balcony directly with one bound.

The Pemberley Mansion was a three-story building built 20 years ago in the imitation antique style, with a height of about 25 feet.

This height was a piece of cake for Xavier.

After he landed steadily, a man exuding a sense of iron-bloodedness and coldness slowly stepped out from the dark night.

“Hi Xavier, I’m Barnaby.”

“My good bro.”

Xavier’s tense muscles relaxed, and he gave Barnaby a strong hug.

“Xavier, have you been doing alright these past few years?” Barnaby’s eyes welled up with tears, and his voice trembled a bit.

“I’m doing well. How are the other brothers?”

“Mr. Cavanaugh, the entire members of the Heavenrage Legion, totaling 43,521, have assembled and are currently awaiting orders on the outskirts of Oceanheim.”

Xavier nodded and said, “Notify Aurora to prepare 100 billion dollars in funds for the massive acquisition of the Vanderbilt family’s stocks in three days.

“Also, pay attention to the movements of Starhaven, Avaloria. You suddenly appear at Oceanheim. Those old geezers in Starhaven will not sit idly by.”

Barnaby nodded and asked, “Xavier, what should we do if we encounter conflict with Avaloria’s people?”

When he heard this, Xavier’s eyes were filled with a hint of cold determination. “Over the years, we have defended Avaloria from so many external enemies. If they dare to intervene, then we will fight back.

“Remember, you can only hurt the people of Avaloria, but not kill,” said Xavier.

“Yes!” replied Barnaby.

Subsequently, Barnaby walked to the side and picked up the dedicated communication device. “All members of the Heavenrage Legion, seal off the entire Oceanheim. Prepare for battle!”
