Chapter 538: Chapter 532: I Can’t Help With This (Part 1)
“Damn! I totally forgot about this! My dad just slapped the sense out of me. You guys are too much! Can someone explain the whole marriage certificate thing? And who the hell was that beauty just now?” Mr. Humphrey finally came around, realizing he hadn’t yet sorted out his own issue. He knew his father’s temper too well; if he couldn’t explain clearly, he might be slapped to death.
“Well, to be honest, all the arrangements today were made by that girl. As for who she is, you’ll have to ask her yourself later.” shrugged Finn Lewis. He briefly explained the situation to Mr. Humphrey, excluding the details about Scholar Lewis.
How to explain later wasn’t something that Finn and his gang needed to worry about. As they say, every man for himself. The hardest part was over and the rest was mere trivialities.
Back in the vicinity of the hotel, they jumped out of the car and made a run for it, leaving the rest to Fishy Wells. As for how Mr. Humphrey would cope, that wasn’t their issue to worry about. Let Fishy take care of it. They figured that there shouldn’t be much problem, as Ann was pretty smart.
The boys then hit a karaoke bar and had a blast until late into the night. Mr. Humphrey finally caught up with them along with Scholar Lewis. Kay Lee and Fishy Wells also joined them. Finn didn’t object. They hadn’t hung out like this in a long time – it reminded them of their college days.
Everyone had a great time, including Scholar Lewis who had just blended in. As for how Mr. Humphrey resolved his issue, neither Finn nor the others asked.
Finn had been busy dealing with Mr. Humphrey’s issue and had put aside his trip to Southland Country, among other things. Fishy Wells informed Hanson Lee, who with his corporation, responded with great efficiency and speed, waiting for Finn’s arrival.
But due to Mr. Humphrey’s situation, Finn had postponed his visit. Now that Mr. Humphrey’s issue was temporarily sorted, Finn delegated the matter to Jay Sommer. Finn realized that his buddies shouldn’t be taken for granted. All the troubles they had were because they weren’t strong enough.
Once they broaden their horizons, the harassing people around them would naturally back off. So, he left this matter to Jay Sommer, trusting him to sort things out for them.
Since Kay Lee wasn’t showing up on TV screens as often, given Finn’s status, she naturally didn’t need to make public appearances anymore. Besides, after drinking Cloud Mist tea for so long, its effect on human genes had significantly enhanced Kay’s looks to near perfection. Those who saw her every day might not notice, but strangers could see a big difference.
The two started shopping without any bodyguards at the biggest commercial center in Seoul. Although Finn didn’t have any bodyguards around, he didn’t dare to be careless. Thus, within several tens to hundreds of meters around him, more than twenty T1000 intelligent robots were quietly providing protection. This was a perk after his close call. A huge loophole was discovered in Zero’s protection program, so Zero strengthened the protection and no longer dispatched robots just when danger was detected.
Instead, a significant number of smart robots were deployed to offer long-term protection around Finn, without any fees.
The economic construction of Southland Country was quite impressive, especially their thriving plastic surgery industry, which was world-renowned. Walking on the streets, you’d notice the higher probability of running into a beauty compared to domestic cities. However, how many were naturally beautiful was another story. There’s a saying – Southland Country has many beautiful female stars, but their children… quite the opposite.
However, during their stroll, Finn noticed that in Southland Country the Star Corporation had infiltrated practically every aspect of life – in tv sets in malls, electronic guide signs on the road, even dustbins had the Star logo.
This certainly reflected Hanson Lee’s influence in Southland Country, which was directly proportional to that of Star Corporation. Kay Lee was eager and excited, pulling Finn here and there. It had been a while since she enjoyed such time with just the two of them, especially with the man she loved.
Finn was hoping to bump into some troublemakers to have a little fun, but that didn’t happen. Instead, Kay Lee bought quite a bit of stuff, mostly inexpensive trinkets, and some beautiful clothes that weren’t costly. It seemed more of a hobby purchase for Kay Lee.
No wonder they say – a woman can wear clothes costing just a few yuan and clothes costing several thousand yuan, as long as they find the combination attractive.
As evening approached, someone finally came to invite Finn, and it was Graceful Lee herself. She found Finn and Kay Lee in an MD fast food restaurant eating fries – a surprise craving from Kay Lee. If her staff hadn’t assured her that Finn was inside, Graceful might have thought they had lost track of him.
The world’s richest man eating fries in an MD fast food restaurant? But when Graceful saw Finn and Kay Lee enthusiastically enjoying their food, she couldn’t help twitching at the corners of her mouth. Could you at least consider your status? If Jack Lewis knew what happened, he would sympathize with Graceful as he had had a similar experience.
