Chapter 917: "Using Your Enemy"
Chapter 917: “Using Your Enemy”
Thus, when Jake played the role of a helpless but doting father who really wanted to adopt a cute daughter….
The audience immediately supported Jake instead of Leroy.
[Ah, ah. Jake is really nice. His image has always been mysterious and mischievous, like a fairy. But I didn’t expect him to be so down-to-earth.]
[Hey, you don’t know that Jake donated a lot of money each year?]
[Yes, yes. He helped almost all people in the slums, and he transformed slum cities into tourism cities!]
[Jake is even more helpful than the government, really. Everyone just loves this super-rich but kind-hearted and humble man.]
Even when Jake’s image had always been lofty and mysterious, many people still believed that he was kind because of the donations he made.
Jake had never announced what kind of donation he did or the sum, but there would always be institutions insisting on thanking Jake through the internet.
Because of this, Jake even had a forum thread dedicated to him.
The thread was a place for people who Jake had helped before to express their thanks to the young man and share their experiences with others.
Therefore, Jake had always been a good man in other people’s eyes whereas Leroy’s reputation had only been built for a few months.
And it’s only based on his cute and warm family of four.
Compared to Jake…Leroy’s reputation wasn’t worth mentioning.
After Jake played as a white lotus and a green tea b*tch, he looked at Leroy with a smile in his crimson eyes, but his face was still as miserable as before.
“I am really sincere about Ain because I don’t think I’ll get married anytime soon.”
“I really won’t let Ain suffer, and if I marry someone one day, if I have a child on my own, I’m willing to let Ain terminate the adoption contract.”
In this way, Ain can be free anytime and anywhere, but Jake would always follow Ain as her appointed dad.
“Leroy, I’m not blaming you or anything. But you also know being Ain’s guardian might not be the best choice for the both of you…”
Jake started to list the disadvantages of Ainsley after Leroy became her guardian.
“As for cutting off relationships…this might sound cruel, but it’s also for your own good.”
Jake shook his head as he stroked Ainsley’s fluffy hair–although it was a wig.
“I think if you continue to be Ain’s father, sooner or later, Ain’s enemy will find you and threaten you along with your whole family.”
“Ain will soar even further in the future, and her enemies will be more dangerous than before. The enemy will surely try to find Ain’s weakness…”
Jake didn’t continue his words, but it’s clear what he meant.
It means that Leroy is so weak that he will become Ain’s weakness.
Of course, it’s not because Ain regarded Leroy as her father.
“Besides, the two of you don’t have too many emotional links. Ain is still young and will forget people who rarely contact her…”
Such as you, Leroy.
Jake was speaking neither slowly nor hurriedly. His voice was so charming and soothing that those who heard his speech were almost enchanted.
Really. No wonder Jake can befriend Yeon, that sultry fox from the beastmen continent.
Maybe because Jake himself is a reincarnation of a fox!
He’s so charming and enchanting that the audience slowly believes in his speech and logic.
Oh, well, what Jake said was really logical, and for a moment, it was hard for Leroy to refute anything.
Even worse, Jake started to bring another emotional card to the table.
“Look. If you care about Ain and don’t want her to be threatened by her enemy, you should just sign the cutting off relationship agreement…”
“It’s not as if you can’t visit Ain anytime after you sign this contract.”
“This contract will only be used to fool the enemy into thinking that the two of you have bad relationships.”
“It means it’s not worth it to kidnap you to threaten Ain.”
Every single sentence seemed to stab Leroy’s weak points accurately. If Leroy refused Jake’s suggestion, wouldn’t he be selfish?
He might also drag his innocent family at home into a dangerous situation…
But if he signed the contract, he would be free from such dangers, but he could still visit Ain from time to time.
It’s just a matter of time before Ain accepts him into the guild, okay?
In fact, while Ain and other Sloan Family members didn’t want Leroy to join the guild, Jake actually proposed the opposite idea.
Ainsley seemed to recall what Jake said at that moment through the phone call.
“Look. Once Leroy joins your guild, he will be bound with the soul oath, and for such a greedy man, he won’t be able to afford the price of betraying the soul oath.”
“With the soul oath as a guarantee, you can make Leroy work for your guild, which means also working for you.”
“Then, you can give him rewards to keep him motivated….”
“You can also give him a high position in the guild but with zero actual power.”
“Repeat the cycle, and you will get a loyal dog working hard for your guild!”
“Listen, Ain. You don’t need to repel your enemy like this. You should employ them instead and make them work hard to build your own empire.”
Isn’t that much better than blacklisting someone?
Jake really has a good business sense, and he is also a black belly man!
Ainsley was already persuaded to let Leroy join the guild, but she would put him under a tight monitoring and would urge him to work for the guild.
Well, she could also pressure Leroy by sending some members to bully him…
Exciting!
