Chapter 1750 Peanuts
Levant sneered, “How much do you make a night?”
“Ever since I got rid of the Maupay family, I’ve been able to rake in loads every night. At least eight million!” Davin divulged proudly.
Then, he continued, “Well? Don’t you think I’m awesome? You’re jealous, aren’t you?”
“Is eight million all it takes to make you giddy with excitement? That’s so ignorant of you!” Levant responded teasingly.
Davin’s expression darkened. “This is a classic case of sour grapes. You’re just bitter with envy and jealousy, right?”
“Why would I be? That meager amount of money doesn’t interest me at all. I’m more interested in the bigger picture.”
“Oh? You sound very sure of yourself. Tell me, then. What’s the bigger picture?” Davin asked curiously.
“The treasure trove on Daemonic Mount. It has everything one could ever want.”
Davin paused and pondered for a moment. “Treasure? Pfft! I’m not interested in that. What’s more, so many people have their eyes on it, but no one knows whether the treasure consists of anything valuable or not! I say it’s more important to seize the opportunities that are right before us.”
In an attempt to try and convince Davin to go with him, Levant talked through his hat. “Those who find the treasure will have everything they could ever want, and the world will be your oyster! Evan has already gone in search of the treasure with Juan, the Hidden Masters, and Draven. Even Nicole went with them! She must have her eye on the medical books. I’m serious. There are plenty of priceless valuables there, and you’ll have everything you could ever wish for, no doubt about that. That’s the truth!”
“Did you say that Nicole has gone there too?”
“Yes! Let’s go and find them. We might be able to get a share of what they find,” Levant answered eagerly.
“I-I don’t want any of that! I’m not going. You don’t know me at all. I value the bonds of brotherhood, and the treasure doesn’t interest me. Since Evan has already gone there with the others, I’m not going to go and snatch whatever they find away from them. I’m content with earning what I can here. That’s enough for me.”
Levant snickered, deliberately provoking Davin.
“What a load of crap! It’s clear you’re just scared it’ll be dangerous. You don’t have the guts to go because you’re a scaredy-cat. If you don’t dare to go, that’s fine. What I don’t understand is how you can pretend to be so virtuous and cook up with all that nonsense about the bonds of brotherhood as an excuse for your cowardice. Don’t you think that’s quite shameless of you?”
Davin gaped at him, dumbstruck. He opened his mouth to say something, but Levant interrupted him.
“You even said that you don’t love money! If that were true, why did you trick the Maupay family? You kicked them out of the hideout and took over the place by force! Bonds of brotherhood, you say? If that bond is so strong, you’d be rushing to Daemonic Mount right this moment to protect your brother, Evan, and your nephew, Juan! You wouldn’t be protecting somebody else’s territory and betraying your morals to earn peanuts!”
Stunned at getting thus lambasted by Levant, Davin’s mind buzzed, and he was at a loss for words.
Once he could finally think straight again, he launched into an angry tirade.
“Levant Musgrave! Have you lost your mind? Or did you get a scolding from the missus? You’ve gone haywire! Is that why you keep provoking me? I’m willing to do this to make money, and it makes me happy! If you want to flaunt your bond of brotherhood, then go! Go to Daemonic Mount and protect Evan and Juan! Why are you wasting your time arguing with me?”
“I’m going. There’s no question about that. We’ll be the ones who are invincible! We’ll be the ones who possess incredible wealth! And we’ll be the ones with a strong bond of brotherhood! As for you… Well, you can just hug your peanuts and watch!” Levant retorted.
“Y-You… Go, then! Get out of my sight!” Davin shouted before hanging up.
Levant stared at his phone, speechless.
What the f*ck? How dare he hang up on me? Is he really not going?
