The Supreme Son-in-Law Chapter 81
“You won’t listen until we resort to violence, eh? Fine, then I'll fulfill your wish. Let's see if you can withstand this beating. Men, skin him alive." Tiger’s eyes flared with fury as he gave the orders. His men were all ruthless. Since their boss had given the order, they had to follow it to the T. They stretched their shoulders and rolled up their sleeves, preparing to fight.Elio was also ready to fight back. He would not allow himself to be bullied by these hooligans.At the very last second, Jeanette was the one who stopped them. "Hold on a second.”The gangsters did not dare to disobey her. They retracted their fists and turned to look at the influential woman, patiently waiting for her instructions.There was a revered leader in the underworld of Cloudsea, someone who went by the title of Third Master Chance.Even though he was almost seventy years old and semi-retired now, he could still control the underworld with a flick of his hand. Everyone was afraid of him.Jean

Elio was more inclined to take the woman's suggestion instead of launching an all-out war. After all, this was still their turf. Gangsters like Tiger were not easy to deal with. If he made an enemy out of them, they would just cause him more trouble in the future, so he nodded and agreed to the terms. "I'll try my best."All of them left the bar and got into their cars, heading to the trading center in a grandiose convoy. The old Mercedes was Tiger's car, and the old Crown was Wendell's. Jeanette drove the fancy new red Maserati.Ever since Elio discovered the trapiche emeralds there, business at Zaffino's center had been booming. Many people had come to gamble on his raw stones, hoping to become rich overnight. However, most of them lost more than they won, so Zaffino made a huge profit.As the number of raw stones decreased, so did the center’s popularity. There were not many buyers who came to gamble on stones today, and Zaffino personally came out to greet Tiger and his crew.W

Tiger and the others were stunned. Zaffino was one of the big shots in Cloudsea, but he seemed to really care about Elio! He was willing to bet 150 thousand dollars to ensure Elio did not lose his hands. What was he planning?Wendell was secretly thrilled. This way, he would not have to pay anything at all! He said happily, “I have no objections.”Jeanette glanced at Elio and said sweetly, “I had no idea Zaffino thought so highly of you. He really wants you to keep your hands.”Elio gave Zaffino a nod. “Thanks.”Zaffino smiled. “Don't mention it, Master Rinz. Just keep coming back to my humble store. I look forward to working with you more in the future.”Tiger did not mind as long as he got the money in the end. He did not care about whether Elio got to keep his hands or not. “Then let's go with Zaffino's suggestion and cut the stones first.”The staff members pushed the stones over to the cutting counter with a cart. Other customers gathered to watch, but they were unimpressed

Wendell also ignored his injured hand, wiping away the dust on the gem with his other hand. He beamed brightly as he said, “Stone gambling is such a rush. We earned a ton of money like it's nothing! Tiger, we hit the jackpot!”The other customers wanted to get a look too, but Tiger's men stopped them from approaching the stone. These thugs did not know much about gems either; all they knew was that this stuff was worth a lot, so they had to protect it for their boss.No one stopped Zaffino, though. He looked at the newly-uncovered gem in admiration, thinking to himself that Elio truly was the real deal. He managed to hit the jackpot despite having to choose from the others’ leftovers.“How much do you think this material can sell for?” Jeanette grabbed Elio's arm and whispered into his ear.“About half a million, but I'll try to raise the asking price for you,” Elio replied softly. “Alright. If you do well, I'll be sure to reward you.”Elio felt something at his waist. The woman

Jeanette was no ordinary woman. She had already decided to take twice the amount of the actual bonus from the pot before they split it, so she happily agreed. She grabbed a stack of notes, quickly counted out fifty, and handed them to Elio.Elio gave the money to Leid, saying, “Thanks, sir. Here's your bonus.”Even though the money was Jeanette's, Leid was grateful to Elio. Without Elio, he would not have gotten a single cent. He hurriedly thanked Elio, saying, “Thank you, ma'am. And thank you, Master Elio. How would you like me to cut the next stone?”“Cut it over here and give us a sneak peek on what's inside.” Elio drew a line on the stone with his finger. Leid cut the stone accordingly. After they got a glimpse of what was inside, the onlookers were surprised. “Huh? There's definitely a gem inside, but it doesn't look too high quality.”“It won't be worth that much, especially because the color looks all off. At least they'll break even…”They were right. The gem inside was

Tiger and Wendell could not stop smiling. Scoring two hundred thousand bucks had been a breeze, and that kind of cash would keep them living large for quite some time.Jeanette punched in the account digits. Zaffino zapped the money over in a flash.The account's balance shot up by over six hundred thousand, and Jeanette was over the moon. Her gaze turned icy, however, when she faced Elio. "You've got the piece now, kiddo, but don't forget—you've just cleared a six hundred thousand debt, and you're still four hundred thousand in the hole. Four grand a day in interest, and if you can't cough it up, we'll be taking your hands as collateral."The crowd shared uneasy looks. 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,' they thought. She was raking in a cool one hundred and sixty thousand just like that. The kid had just netted them a fortune, yet they were still talking about chopping off his hands? Where was the fairness in that?Elio brushed it off with a wave of his hand. "Just give me

The crowd was stunned. Nobody saw Tiger's backstabbing move coming. Although he had already sold the gem, now, seeing its value skyrocket, he was backpedaling faster than a thief caught red-handed. Talk about a street thug's move!Jeanette was having none of it. Hands on her hips, she threw caution and her image to the wind, going full-on banshee mode. "You heard me! We snagged that stone first. That little twerp conned us, didn't pay a penny, and now he is trying to hustle our gem? Dream on! Cough up twelve hundred thousand, or no deal."Zaffino looked like he had swallowed a sour grape. He knew better than to cross Tiger and his spitfire wife, yet rules were rules. "The thing is, I already paid you for the gem, seventy thouand, straight into your account."Jeanette was relentless. "Fine, I'll send back your 700,000, but then you owe us 12 million. We hand over the violet jade, and we're square."Zaffino shook his head. "Can't do it. It's against the rules. Sorry, but without Mast
The Supreme Son-in-Law Chapter 88
The bald guy clutched his bleeding shoulder, regret oozing out with every drop of blood. He had played the tough guy and now he was paying the price, sticking out like a sore thumb. Bitterness gnawed at him as he winced in pain and called out, "Tiger, you gotta back me up here."Tiger saw his right-hand man hurt, and Zaffino's crew swarming in—it was an all-out face-off.Fury blazed in Tiger's eyes. No one in Cloudsea had ever crossed him before. He barked, "Zaffino, what's your game? Picking a fight with me? Don't you know who I am? You think you can just shut me down?"Zaffino's face darkened, and he shot back, "Tiger, don't kid yourself. You can't touch me. There are rules to follow here. You can't just come into my place and start swinging. No one's shut me down before, and you're no exception. Just try me."Tiger knew all too well about the muscle backing Zaffino. A brawl would mean big trouble, more than it was worth."Alright, you win this round. I won't squabble with you.
