Chapter 164 This is a Rare Metal!
James's expression turned grim. "Don't underestimate him, Kyle. Noah said you’re nothing in his eyes. He’s already respecting you by giving you his attention."
"That's right! Kyle, I advise you to take back your words! Don't bring trouble on yourself!" Robert chimed in, his expression serious.
At this moment, Kyle was truly dumbfounded.
'Could this little squirt have some hidden identity? Otherwise, why would James, Max, and Robert defend him like this? These three are the top figures in Oceanbridge City. They show such respect toward this little squirt and are protective of him... What is his true identity?'
Richard, who was standing on the side, was also stunned. He never expected such a big reversal.
Kyle was extremely cunning since he had lived for so many years. He smiled.
"Since the three of you say that, I’ll apologize to Noah and take back my words!"
One thing was for sure. Noah definitely had a hidden identity; otherwise, the three would not be treating him like that.
Even if Kyle disliked him deep inside, he wouldn't engage in a face-to-face conflict until he figured out Noah's true identity.
"I know that Noah has a noble identity. As for the Benson family, we have no grudges or grievances with Noah. I don't know why Noah, who is already married, would still approach my daughter."
Kyle spoke again with a hint of mockery, "And why did Noah give us such an insulting gift and embarrass the Benson family in front of the guests?"
"Kyle, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I just said? Your daughter is lucky that Noah has taken an interest in her," Max immediately responded, "Besides, Noah has respect your family by giving you a gift. Are you complaining about the quality of the gift?"
"Kyle, I believe there must be some misunderstanding." James' gaze flickered. "If there really was enmity between Noah and the Benson family, he wouldn't need to go through the trouble of sending an embarrassing gift. He would simply use his resources to wipe out the Benson family in three minutes. I don't think Noah has any reason to do that."
"I agree with James. There must be some misunderstanding here," Robert added.
"Misunderstanding? Well, let me tell you, he gave my daughter a piece of garbage as a gift, embarrassing the Benson family lose face in front of guests. Do you think that's a misunderstanding?" Kyle sneered.
"Just take the three of us to see this gift you keep talking about and we’ll see if he has humiliated the Benson family!" Richard spoke up.
"Alright, please follow me, you three!"
Kyle took the lead and left the study, heading toward Lily's room.
The others immediately followed.
At this moment, Lily's room was still crowded. People were gesturing and pointing at the gift box.
"Tsk tsk, the Benson family is truly embarrassed this time!"
"Yeah, the boyfriend of the Benson family's heir actually gave her such a worthless gift, it would be a laughingstock if it gets out!"
"I wonder if that Noah will come back alive after Kyle called him to the study."
Zack was pleased at this moment.
He sat happily with his legs crossed, smiling. Once this birthday banquet was over, even if Lily wanted to be with Noah, Kyle would not agree!
Kyle was very concerned about his reputation, and Noah had already done The Benson family a huge disservice, so if that beggar didn’t get his legs broken, he would be fortunate.
Lily's face turned red and white alternately. If this matter continued to escalate, and the news spread, the Benson family's reputation would truly be ruined!
"Kyle is here!"
Someone spotted Kyle walking over.
"There are people behind him... that's the newly appointed governor James!"
"And the leader of the real estate industry, Max! And Robert, the director of the Royal Hospital in Oceanbridge City!"
"These are all truly important men!"
The expressions of the crowd changed, quickly making way for them to enter.
"This is the gift Noah gave my daughter!"
Richard looked disdainful, pointing at the gift box on the table, containing an object the size of a fingernail.
"James, Max, Robert, take a look at this. Isn’t this gift a slap in the face to the Benson family? What on earth is this dark thing? Sheep dung?"
James looked at it and shook his head. He didn't recognize the object and thought that it was like a piece of dirt on the ground, not worth mentioning at all.
"What is this?"
Max also looked at the metal inside the box, puzzled, not recognizing it at all.
Robert looked at the gift box and his eyes flickered as if he had thought of something, but for a moment, he couldn't be sure.
That material was too precious and rare!
"Tell me doesn’t giving this thing to the Benson family embarrass us?" Kyle said coldly.
Lily couldn't hide the embarrassment on her face and in her heart. She blamed Noah for giving her this thing. Why hadn't he at least given her a flower?
"Uncle Han, this poor guy is just looking for attention and causing a scene for the Benson family," Zack chuckled as he approached.
"I say we break both of his legs and throw him out so he doesn't bother us anymore!"
"Yeah, break his legs!”
"Break his legs? Can this poor guy pay for the Benson family's reputation with only his legs? Let's just throw him into the river to feed the fishes!"
The crowd discussed in disagreement.
"Noah, can I have a closer look at that?" Robert suddenly spoke up, looking at Noah.
"Of course you can!"
Noah said casually.
Robert nodded and approached, carefully pinching the small piece of metal between his index and middle fingers, inspecting it through his thick eyeglasses.
Ten seconds later, his face finally became horrified and he exclaimed:
"This is a rare metal! This is a rare metal! How is it possible? How could there be such a large amount of rare metal?"
His heart raced, and his eyes sparkled as if he had seen a priceless treasure.
The people present were all stunned.
"Is Robert crazy?"
"Did he take the wrong medication?"
"Robert, what do you mean?" Kyle asked.
"It’s a rare metal!
"This is a rare metal! The most expensive metal in the world! It costs two hundred million yuan per gram!"
Robert breathed rapidly, staring at the metal in his hand, excitedly mumbling: "This small piece alone is probably worth around ten billion, and even if you have the money, you can't buy it at all!"
"What? Two hundred million yuan per gram?"
"Ten billion for this tiny piece? Are you kidding me?"
"Robert, are you sure you're not mistaken!? Is it really rare metal?"
"What is rare metal? I’ve never heard of it before!"
The people present were in an uproar, discussing among themselves.
"How could I be mistaken?"
