NovelEnglishChapter 769 I Don't Have A Dad! Dustin kept his cool, steering the moment with ease. "Kid, do you even know who you're talking to? This man is the founder of CR Corporation-the richest man in the entire country. If the police ever laid a hand on him, half of Grester's economy would crash overnight." He sighed, muttering under his breath, "Why am I even explaining this to a toddler?" Zander's cheeks puffed up with anger. "I'm not a toddler! Stop talking tolike I'm sbaby!" Collin's eyes narrowed. Something unreadable flickered behind them. He walked toward the boy. His gaze was sharp, focused. "Then tell me-how old are you?" His voice was calm but firm.
Dustin perked up, curious now. He leaned in a little, waiting for Zander's answer. Judging the boy's age by appearance alone was no easy task.

Instead, he crossed his arms and turned his head sharply to the side, letting out a cold sneer in defiance. Dustin chuckled, shaking his head. "Well, well. This kid's got a lot of fire in him." Still, both men knew better than to push too hard. Forcing answers out of a child wouldn't get them far. Collin looked over at Dustin after a pause. "Take him to the sofa. I'll talk to him once he's calmed down." Before Dustin could respond, Zander shouted, "I'm not talking to you! You're a bad guy!" Dustin's brow twitched. He drew in a slow breath, clearly trying to stay patient. "Listen, kid. I heard what you said downstairs. You chere looking for Collin, didn't you? Well, here he is. Speak now, or we'll call the police. Then you'll be answering questions down at the station." Though he mostly meant it to scare him, the words struck a real nerve.
Zander's face lost scolor.
The idea of being taken to the police station sent a chill down his spine.
"I didn't do anything wrong! You can't call the police on me!" Zander yelled, trying to sound brave.
Dustin didn't let up. "You barged into our company and caused a scene. People couldn't even work. Why shouldn't we report you? You've got guts, I'll give you that—standing up to Collin. But once you leave here, ask around. No one in Grester dares to mess with the founder of CR Corporation." Chapter 769(Dont Have A Dad! He leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. "Didn't your dad ever teach you that?"

Despite his fieres tone, the softness of his features made his anger seem e more pouty than powerful. Collin and Dustin had faced tougher storms. A child's tantrum wasn't going to shake them.
Still, Zander's words landed like tiny pebbles in still water rippling just enough to leave an effect. Dustin glanced at Collin, a weight behind his stare, Collin met his gaze and understood at once.
