A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Gwain and Hank both stiffened in shock. This guy certainly knows how to put on a show! "I don't like people like you. If what you say doesn't please me, I might just teach you a lesson," Gwain threatened, his aura intensifying, intimidating Gautier.

Both men held mutual disdain for one another. With personalities like theirs, it was impossible for them to get along. But Gautier had no choice but to lower himself, as he needed to make use of this self-important man. Smiling, he replied, "I'm here to give you the Dragon Tome, Mr. Gwain." "What?!" Hank couldn't help but gasp in disbelief.

Although Gwain didn't say anything, his expression revealed an even greater shock than Hank's. After the initial surprise, a flood of joy surged within him, though it was tainted with suspicion. Before Hank could ask any questions, Gwain beat him to it, demanding, "Are you telling the truth?" 1/8 15:59 Fo, Dec 6 G #G.

Chapter 2027 Adoration "I'm just a simple scholar, not even strong enough to harm a fly. Would I really dare cto the Lannister Estate and lie to the great Gwain Lannister, the number one martial artist in Chanaea?" Gautier replied calmly, his smile never faltering.

"Alright, hand over the tto Mr. Gwain then!" Hank demanded, reaching out his hand. But Gautier merely smiled, his expression tinged with disdain. Gwain, sharper than Hank, immediately asked, "If you really handthe Dragon Tome, whatever you want from the Lannister Family, I will consider it. "You're as clever as they say, Mr. Gwain. No wonder you're hailed as the best in the world!" Gautier had studied Gwain's personality thoroughly, and he knew that repeatedly flattering him with the title of "the best" would only inflate his ego and increase his willingness to negotiate.

"Take a look and see if this is the Dragon Tome," Gautier said as he took out an elegantly crafted book, its cover embossed with the words "Dragon Tome." This was something he had meticulously written out based on what Roselynn had recited the previous day, made to look as authentic as possible.

2/8 Chaptes 2027 Adoration Gwain, still cautious, took the Dragon Tand began examining it. Hank, watching from the side, couldn't figure out Gautier's motives. Why would someone cto the Lannister Estate with something so valuable, completely unafraid that Gwain might simply take it and brush off the whole exchange as a rightful return of stolen property? But the next moment, Hank saw Gwain's expression shift. Not only that, but Gwain seemed to be testing it out. Suddenly, he broke into an elated grin. "It's real! This is the true Dragon Tome!" Unlike the fake one from before, this technique generated powerful internal strength without clouding the mind. "Good, as long as Mr. Gwain can confirm its authenticity," Gautier said smoothly. "But this is only half of the Dragon Tome. Consider it a down payment. If you want the other half, you'll have to do something for me." It finally dawned on Hank why Gautier had been so confident-this was his leverage! Gwain, recognizing this for what it was a standard business transaction- 15:59 Fri, Dec 6 GM G.

Chapter 2027 Adoration smirked coldly. "What do you wantto do for you?" Gautier's smile grew more mysterious. Instead of answering outright, he leaned in close to Gwain and whispered in his ear.

"What? You wantto kill him?!" Gwain's face changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at Gautier. He had initially thought this man was a small-tplayer, but it turned out he was a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

"Mr. Gwain, the deal has already begun. I've given you the deposit. Now, it's up to you whether or not you want the full reward. Goodbye!" Gautier had thrown out the bait and saw no need to linger. Without another word, he left the Lannister Estate, not bothering to sit down for tea or further discussion.

That sevening, Gautier made his way to Teddy's residence. That night, Teddy was staying in his villa located in Zone 2 of Zovince. The Tanner family's villa wasn't ostentatious, but it was undeniably elegant. While the exterior was understated, the interior was meticulously designed with intricate craftsmanship throughout.

4/8 15.99 $0, DeCK GMG 55% Chapter 7077 Fégration "Mr. Tanner, I've ctonight to present you with a small gift," Gautier said as he entered the room where Teddy was busy with his work.

"Haha, Gautier, you might not know this about me, but I always refuse gifts!" Teddy said with a chuckle, setting his work aside to greet Gautier with a smile, "Mr. Tanner, this isn't a bribe or any kind of under-the-table gift. It's simply a token of my appreciation, something of personal value that holds no commercial worth," Gautier replied, smiling knowingly. He had encountered enough politicians and businesspeople to understand the game. Most corrupt officials liked to play the part of the upstanding figure, and those who committed the worst deeds disguised themselves often as righteous individuals.

"Haha, well, in that case, I'm curious to see what you've brought me!" Teddy laughed warmly, like a kindly elder.

"Mr. Tanner, take a look," Gautier said, pulling out the half of the Dragon Tome. Unlike the one he had given to Gwain, this version wasn't labeled or 5/8 presented in an ornate fashion. Yet, despite its plain appearance, Teddy recognized it immediately and exclaimed in shock, "This... is the Dragon Tome?!" "Mr. Tanner, you truly live up to your reputation as Mr. Lestrange described- sharp in both intellect and martial prowess. I'm in awe," Gautier flattered him.

"Haha, Gautier, you're quite something yourself!" Teddy complimented in return. I've heard that Gwain Lannister tried everything, even risking his life, to obtain this tbut couldn't. Yet here you are, managing to acquire it so easily. It proves that in this day and age, brains are more effective than martial prowess!" "You flatter me, Mr. Tanner," Gautier replied humbly. "I was simply lucky to get my hands on half of the tome. The other half will require more effort to obtain. However, I've already used this half to entice Gwain into working for us.

"Oh, Gwain agreed?" Teddy asked immediately.

Gautier smiled and nodded.

15:59 Fri, Dec 6 G MG Chapter 2027 Adoration "Excellent! A brilliant move, getting something for nothing!" Teddy slapped His thigh in excitement. "Gautier, you've done even better than I expected. From now on, you'll be my special assistant!" Gautier, remaining humble, said, "You already have two capable assistants, Mr. Tanner. How could I possibly compare to them?"

"No! You absolutely can compare to them. In fact, once we eliminatem Emmanuel I want you to be my personal aide. I'll make sure you receive the best training and guidance!" Teddy declared, his admiration for the young man clear.

"Thank you, Mr. Tanner. I will gladly accept your offer!" Gautier bowed slightly, a calculating smile crossing his face.

Teddy smiled back, clearly pleased. "I really do like you, Gautier, lipianto

groom you for great things!" Then, as if a thought had just stryck him, Thea asked, "By the way, Gautier, do you practice martial arts?" Gautier shook his head. “I cfrom humble beginnings and am not gifted Chapter 2027 Adoration in martial arts." "Haha, you're anything but dull! Letteach your" Teddy laughed The Dragon Tis said to be the greatest martial arts technique in the world f you can learn it, you'll go from an ordinary man to a top-tier fighter in no time!"

Gautier's eyes flickered with uncertainty. He could see right through Teddy's intentions-this old fox wanted to use him as a guinea pig to test the torne's techniques, making sure they were safe before using them himself. But even though Gautier understood this, he still expressed gratitude, playing along "Thank you, Mr. Tanner... no, thank you, Master Tanner!" This was the perfect opportunity for Gautier to deepen his relationship with Teddy further.
