Chapter 1574 Talk In Private

“I’ve misheard?” Riley sneered. “All of us heard it loud and clear. One of you had the audacity to equate Mr. Maupay to a stupid pig. I think he must be tired of living.”

“No, no! It’s all a misunderstanding. We’re just asking if you need some pork. If you do need them, we… we can source them from a farmer and supply them to you at a discounted price. It’s guaranteed to be fresh!” Davin explained.

Riley did not buy his nonsensical explanation. Snorting, he snarled, “Are you saying that you’re here to promote pork?”

“That’s right. We’re just promoters. By the way, we also want to discuss a potential collaboration with you,” answered Davin.

“Mr. Maupay, they are acting extremely suspicious. You must not let them go easily!” Riley reminded Steven.

Steven nodded in agreement and said, “We don’t need pork here. But we do need some human flesh. I think you guys will serve as a good dinner.”

What a huge appetite he has! Davin thought.

“Mr. Maupay, I don’t think we are good enough for you. But give us half an hour to talk things through. After that, I guarantee you’ll treat me to an extravagant meal,” he declared.

Steven scrutinized Davin as if the latter had lost his mind.

“What do you want to talk to me about? Get right to it now!”

Davin glanced at the large group of people in front of them, then Riley.

“Mr. Maupay, there are too many people here. Can we go somewhere more private?”

While Steven was hesitating, Riley started dissuading him.

“Mr. Maupay, they trespassed into our place. Surely, there is an ulterior motive behind their actions. Please do not fall into their trap. Remember, your plan is coming to fruition. At this juncture, you must exercise caution in every move you make.”

Steven thought his words made sense.

These people must have something to do with the Seet family, showing up at my place uninvited. Can it be that Evan sent them to assassinate me?

At that thought, he became increasingly wary.

“Just cut to the chase! Everyone here is part of the Maupay family. There’s no need for privacy,” he remarked.

A troubled expression appeared on Davin’s face. Uh, I don’t think I can say it in the presence of Riley. Putting away the possibility of him denying the allegations, I’m even more worried that he will attack while I’m fumbling for words. After all, he’s a cunning and ruthless man.

“Why are you keeping quiet? Are you feeling guilty? I suppose you’re not here to tell me anything but rather to do me harm.”

Davin was stupefied. I was worried that Riley would resort to violence and even take away my life, yet unexpectedly, Steven’s concerned that I’ll harm him? What a cautious person!

“How about I let your subordinate search my body? Once it’s confirmed that I’m unarmed, we can talk in private. I don’t have any weapons with me, so I can’t harm you. With that, you can also feel at ease.”

“Mr. Maupay, there are many ways to harm a person even without weapons. What if he has some hidden tools? From the looks of it, they did not come on goodwill!” Riley reminded Steven once again.

Steven sized Davin up before uttering, “Let’s put that matter aside first. Instead, I’d like to know who you are. It looks like they’re all your followers. Tell me your name!”

Davin hesitated. If I were to do as he says, and he finds out I’m Evan’s brother, will he hate me too? He may even come after me directly!

“What? You don’t even dare to tell me your name? You’re from the Seet family, am I correct?” Steven stared at him and asked bluntly.

“Mr. Davin, how does he know that you’re from the Seet family?” Saul asked curiously.

Davin shot him a look. “Perhaps I’m as handsome as Evan. That must be why!”
