Chapter 110 A Father's Lesson
NovaGaze's face turned pale.
His father, Samuel, was a self-made man. In this Northwestern region, opening a mine required not only some government connections but also the ability to stabilize the situation. In the Northwest, especially near rural areas, conflicts involving weapons still occurred.
NovaGaze knew that two local mine owners, in order to annex each other's coal mines, had one boss capture the other and strap explosives to him as a threat. Such blatant disregard for the law went unpunished afterward.
In short, this was a land of wild growth. On this land, Samuel had not only established himself but also thrived, earning everyone's respect. This showed that he was a formidable character.
In terms of family education, Samuel was also a tough character. NovaGaze grew up under his beatings.
NovaGaze was not his only son; he had an older brother named Dennis King. Dennis was rebellious and never submitted to Samuel's discipline, even after being severely beaten, and was very defiant towards Samuel!
Samuel, however, just gave a cold smile and had his workers tie Dennis up. A year later, Dennis became very obedient and never dared to defy Samuel again.
Victor, who was NovaGaze, was shocked because he noticed that Dennis' fingernails still had traces of blackened marks, indicating he had likely endured electric torture.
From then on, Victor was also very afraid of his father. Fortunately, although Samuel was quick to resort to violence, he was not an abusive father. As long as NovaGaze followed the life path Samuel had planned, he would not only refrain from beating Victor but also try to meet all of NovaGaze's demands.
Since Victor graduated from college, Samuel had completely stopped interfering with Victor. Even if Victor stayed home every day under the pretense of starting a business, he couldn't be bothered to care.
However, now, it was clear that Samuel was not here with good intentions.
NovaGaze really didn't want to open the door for him.
However, NovaGaze ultimately didn't dare to defy his father. Although reluctant, he still opened the door for Samuel.
Samuel was very angry, standing at the door with a silver baseball bat in his hand. Behind him were two tall, burly men, his loyal subordinates. Wealthy people always had bodyguards and hired muscle, especially since labor costs were cheap in the Northwest.
Seeing Samuel's expression, NovaGaze felt his heart skipped a beat. He knew he was in big trouble! But at this moment, he could only face it; there was no way to escape! NovaGaze took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Dad, what brings you here?"
Samuel coldly replied, "If I didn't come, our family's business would be ruined by you!"
NovaGaze's voice trembled. "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? Don't you know?" Samuel roared, "You should know very well!"
NovaGaze's face crumpled. In front of Samuel, he suddenly felt small, lonely, and helpless, like a lamb surrounded by wolves, enveloped in endless fear.
Samuel said, "I always thought you were more sensible, smarter, and more capable than Dennis, and made me proud! But you have greatly disappointed me! If Ivan hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known you took out a four-million-dollar loan, let alone that you gave that four million to a female streamer! Four million to a female streamer. Are you an idiot?" Samuel said, getting angrier, and slapped NovaGaze across the face.
NovaGaze covered his face, speechless and ashamed.
He actually regretted it himself.
Giving over four million dollars to a female streamer? Just thinking about it made him feel like a complete idiot. How could he have done something so stupid?
Samuel coldly said, "I earned my money through hard work, and you squander it recklessly. I can't tolerate you anymore."
Samuel scolded NovaGaze harshly.
"Dad, I was wrong!" NovaGaze cried. "I was just being irrational!"
Samuel said, "You're an idiot; you were played! On my way here, I saw you competing with Boring Surf in gifting. Are you out of your mind? Do you think Boring Surf is a real person? Why are you competing with a bot? Can our family afford it? Boring Surf is sending data, but you're sending real money!"
"Boring Surf is a bot?" NovaGaze exclaimed, "That's impossible. Based on my understanding of the streaming industry, Boring Surf can't be a bot!"
