Chapter 1750 Peanuts
Levant sneered, âHow much do you make a night?â
âEver since I got rid of the Maupay family, Iâve been able to rake in loads every night. At least eight million!â Davin divulged proudly.
Then, he continued, âWell? Donât you think Iâm awesome? Youâre jealous, arenât you?â
âIs eight million all it takes to make you giddy with excitement? Thatâs so ignorant of you!â Levant responded teasingly.
Davinâs expression darkened. âThis is a classic case of sour grapes. Youâre just bitter with envy and jealousy, right?â
âWhy would I be? That meager amount of money doesnât interest me at all. Iâm more interested in the bigger picture.â
âOh? You sound very sure of yourself. Tell me, then. Whatâs the bigger picture?â Davin asked curiously.
âThe treasure trove on Daemonic Mount. It has everything one could ever want.â
Davin paused and pondered for a moment. âTreasure? Pfft! Iâm not interested in that. Whatâs more, so many people have their eyes on it, but no one knows whether the treasure consists of anything valuable or not! I say itâs more important to seize the opportunities that are right before us.â
In an attempt to try and convince Davin to go with him, Levant talked through his hat. âThose 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. Iâm serious. There are plenty of priceless valuables there, and youâll have everything you could ever wish for, no doubt about that. Thatâs the truth!â
âDid you say that Nicole has gone there too?â
âYes! Letâs go and find them. We might be able to get a share of what they find,â Levant answered eagerly.
âI-I donât want any of that! Iâm not going. You donât know me at all. I value the bonds of brotherhood, and the treasure doesnât interest me. Since Evan has already gone there with the others, Iâm not going to go and snatch whatever they find away from them. Iâm content with earning what I can here. Thatâs enough for me.â
Levant snickered, deliberately provoking Davin.
âWhat a load of crap! Itâs clear youâre just scared itâll be dangerous. You donât have the guts to go because youâre a scaredy-cat. If you donât dare to go, thatâs fine. What I donât 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. Donât you think thatâs quite shameless of you?â
Davin gaped at him, dumbstruck. He opened his mouth to say something, but Levant interrupted him.
âYou even said that you donât 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, youâd be rushing to Daemonic Mount right this moment to protect your brother, Evan, and your nephew, Juan! You wouldnât be protecting somebody elseâs territory and betraying your morals to earn peanuts!â
Stunned at getting thus lambasted by Levant, Davinâs mind buzzed, and he was at a loss for words.
Once he could finally think straight again, he launched into an angry tirade.
âLevant Musgrave! Have you lost your mind? Or did you get a scolding from the missus? Youâve gone haywire! Is that why you keep provoking me? Iâm 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?â
âIâm going. Thereâs no question about that. Weâll be the ones who are invincible! Weâll be the ones who possess incredible wealth! And weâll be the ones with a strong bond of brotherhood! As for you⦠Well, you can just hug your peanuts and watch!â Levant retorted.
âY-You⦠Go, then! Get out of my sight!â 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?
