“We will definitely obey your commands!”
The crowd of people did not want to be left behind when they saw the two men stepping forward to thank Joe. Therefore, they flattered Joe, offered to buy him dinner, and some of them even offered to give him some cash rewards.
Finn also said, “The White family has already promised to sponsor a total of one hundred and fifty million dollars for all of the winners at the banquet today. Since you are the ultimate winner, I think that this cash reward should naturally be awarded to you, Mr. Smith.”
Zeke was still kneeling on the ground as he did not dare to get up at all. At this time, he hurriedly said, “Mr. Smith, I am sorry for looking down on you and supporting the villain instead. I have almost caused harm to all the other guests here today. I hope that you will be able to forgive me!”
Joe frowned before he said, “Mr. White, didn’t you have complete trust in Mr. Yaleman before this?”
Zeke quickly lowered his head before he replied, “Mr. Smith, I was completely blinded by Mr. Yaleman! I know that he is nothing more than a bug in front of the real master now! I promise to keep my eyes open in the future and I will never go against you again! I promise to follow your orders and respect you for the rest of my life.”
After that, Zeke continued speaking, “Mr. Smith, in order to show you how sorry I am, I would like to give you a villa as a gift. I will pass you the key to the villa as soon as I send someone to clean the place up for you! Please accept my gift and forgive me for my actions, Mr. Smith!”
“A villa?”
Joe could only frown as he thought about it.
A villa was nothing much to him.
However, it would be inappropriate for him to buy the villa on his own as he would not have any ways to explain the source of the funds to Claire.
So, why should he turn down the offer if someone wanted to give him a villa?
After all, his family was currently living in an old and run down house. It would be great for them to live in a better environment.
Even though Zeke was a little hateful, it seemed as though he was truly repentant and he felt very guilty and remorseful.
Therefore, Joe nodded before he said, “Alright then, I will accept your gift. However, please remember that I will not let you off so easily should something like this happen again in the future.”
Zeke was overjoyed and he clasped his hands together as he thanked Joe. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Smith. I will definitely reflect on myself and I promise this will never happen again!”
“Okay.” Joe nodded in satisfaction.
After that, Joe looked at Graham who was still in shock at this time.
Joe asked him in a faint manner, “So, Graham, tell me. Did you really think that I lied to you so that I could cheat the Quinton family of your money?”
Graham’s legs softened immediately and he knelt down before he said, “I dare not! I wouldn’t dare to! I was just confused for a moment but I’ve never lost confidence in you, Mr. Smith. I am now completely convinced that you are the true master in the metaphysics circle! Please forgive me, Mr. Smith!”
After he spoke, Graham grabbed Adam by his collar before he yelled, “Asshole! Kneel down and apologize to Mr. Smith now!”
Adam was already trembling in fear at this time. As soon as Graham yelled at him, Adam knelt down before Joe and he started trembling as he apologized. “Mr. Smith, please forgive me! I really did not mean to doubt you or cause any trouble for you. I did not intentionally do it…”
Graham shook his head before he slapped Adam a couple of times until his cheeks started swelling.
Adam did not dare to move at all. He continued kneeling on the ground as he cried. At a time like this, Adam was not afraid of getting beaten at all. Instead, he was afraid that Joe would summon thunder and lightning from the sky to strike him, and that he would drop dead like Jack Yaleman.
Aurora’s face had also turned pale from shock.
She would never have imagined that Joe was actually a master with such extraordinary powers.
Initially, she was so mad at Joe because she thought that he really lied to her father, and she was planning to look for an opportunity to avenge her father. However, now it seemed as though she could only worship him because he was really incredible!
Aurora was also afraid that Joe would still be mad at her younger brother. Therefore, she hurriedly knelt down before she said, “Mr. Smith, my younger brother is still young and ignorant. Please be magnanimous and forgive him.”
When Joe saw the three members of the Quinton family kneeling before him and begging for forgiveness, his heart softened immediately. Therefore, he told them to stand up before he said, “Since all of you are willing to repent and admit your mistakes, I will not take this to heart. However, if something like this happens again in the future, don’t blame me for being cruel!”
As soon as they heard his words, the Quinton family quickly bowed their heads and thanked him.
At this time, Jasmine had mixed feelings as she stood among the crowd of people as she witnessed the scene unfolding before her.
Previously, she had always thought that Joe was simply very well-versed and knowledgeable in antique trades because he was just an ordinary man with an ordinary background.
Unexpectedly, he was actually hiding his strength!
Jasmine was really shocked by what she had witnessed today. She had never seen anything like this.
At this time, Joe took a step forward before he looked at the crowd of people and said, “Listen to me!”
As soon as he started speaking, everyone raised their heads and looked at Joe respectfully. No one dared to make any sound at all.
Joe looked around the crowd before he said in a stern manner, “I do not want anyone to mention anything that happened here today to anyone else! I want this to be kept a secret among us. If anyone leaks this matter out to the public, I will make sure that he ends up with the same fate as Jack Yaleman!”
All of the guests were shocked because it seemed as though Joe did not want anyone to know about his strength and power!
He was really a very humble man.
He was nothing like Jack, who only wanted attention and publicity wherever he went.
Jack was nothing compared to Joe!
At this time, everyone clasped their fists together as they bowed before Joe and said, “Yes, we will obey your instructions, Mr. Smith.”
Joe nodded in satisfaction before he said, “In that case, everyone can be dismissed now!”
Joe left the White family mansion as everyone continued staring at him in awe.
Jasmine could not stop herself from staring at him from time to time as she sent him home.
At this time, Joe had already turned into the same ordinary person that he had always been. He no longer looked like the powerful and strong man that he looked like earlier.
Jasmine could not stop herself from feeling a little suspicious at this time.
When Joe was in the courtyard earlier, he exuded a very superior and mysterious aura.
However, the Joe, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to her, looked like an ordinary passer- by.
Jasmine did not know whether this was intentional or whether it was just an illusion.
Therefore, Jasmine could not help but ask, “Joe…were you really the one who summoned the thunder and lightning just now?”
Joe looked at her before he smiled.
“Why don’t you make a guess? Would you believe me if I told you that it was just a mere coincidence?”
At this time, the image of Joe summoning the thunder and lightning suddenly flashed through Jasmine’s mind.
Joe was standing so confidently as he summoned the thunder and lightning.
Any woman would fall in love with him if they saw how cool he looked.
At this time, Jasmine could feel her heart beating a little faster. However, she quickly shook her head as she thought about it.
What a joke!
Even the world’s most powerful physicist would not be able to control lightning!
If Joe could summon thunder and lightning whenever he wanted to, why would he be the poor son- in-law of the Wilson family?
Was the thunder and lightning really just a coincidence?
