Chapter 306 Change

Alex had been gone for eight years, so Lumenopolis was no longer his turf. D

Moreover, he knew that Susan had set up a trap for him, so he had to be careful.

If Shane dared to show up at the party, he would use that opportunity to take Shane down and use him to threaten Susan.

To Alex's surprise, Shane actually accepted the invitation to the party.

Alex thought that if Shane didn't dare to go to Nebula City, then the latter shouldn't have the guts to go to the party either.

Alex thought that something was off, but he couldn't quite put a finger on it.

"It's almost time, Mr. Jefferson. Should we head to the hotel now?" asked Liam after he checked his watch. The time was now six in the evening.

"Let's go," replied Alex as he nodded. He cleared the doubt in his heart. If Shane showed up, Alex would be able to take Shane down, and not even the most powerful fighter of the Jefferson family, Tim, could stop Alex.

The two of them left Forteshire Group, and Alex got into Liam's car before they headed to Shangri-La Hotel.

Liam had booked a hall that could hold over twenty guests, with servants guarding outside. Sandalwood incense burned in the hall and filled it with a mild, pleasant scent.

"Please have a seat, Mr. Jefferson," said Liam as he pulled a chair out for Alex, who sat down.

"Sir, should we serve the dishes now or later?" asked a beautiful waitress to Liam.

"Later. Please get us some tea first," replied Liam.

"Sure, please wait for a moment," replied the waitress before she headed out.

Alex lit a cigarette and took a deep puff before asking, "Do you think Shane would actually have the guts to show up?"

Liam, who was sitting at Alex's side replied, "Shane had always been arrogant, and you were chased out of Lumenopolis by his mother. Given his style, he probably doesn't think much of you. So I think he will definitely show up since he'd already RSVP-ed yes."

"You're right," said Alex as he nodded. He thought that Liam's words made sense. Maybe I'm

About ten minutes later, the door to the hall was opened and two men, one young and one elderly walked in.

The elderly man was already in his sixties and had a head of white hair, but the glow in his eyes remained strong and clear. One wouldn't be able to tell that he was in his sixties.

The younger man looked like he was in his late twenties and wore a fashionable outfit. He looked extremely proud.

The elderly man was Tim, who was the most powerful fighter of the Jefferson family, while the younger man was Shane, who was Alex's half-brother from their father's side.

"Ah, my dear brother. It's been eight years, and you finally have the guts to return," said Shane as he laughed aloud. He walked in proudly and sat opposite Alex.

"Why would I be afraid?" asked Alex calmly before he shifted his gaze to Tim.

"Hello, Alex," greeted Tim politely as he bowed to Alex.

Alex glared at Tim and commented nonchalantly, "Tim, my dad was generous to you in the past."

Tim remained cool while answering, "He was generous, but he was also stubborn and cruel. He never treated us servants as human. Mrs. Jefferson, on the other hand, saved my life." Alex scoffed. Only someone as shameless as Tim can make his betrayal sound so justified.

"By the way, I heard that you abandoned your honor as a man and became a live-in son-in-law after you fled to Nebula City. They say that you are a useless piece of trash, and I have to say that you did exactly as I expected. Our old man used to say that you are the future of the Jefferson family. I'm guessing he would die of high blood pressure if he learned that you have become a live-in son-in-law," laughed Shane.

"Did you guys get me to Lumenopolis just to make fun of me?" asked Alex calmly as he lit another cigarette.

Shane frowned. Alex's nonchalant attitude infuriated him.

"Alex, hand the black card over right now, and I will spare your life today," instructed Shane grimly.

"The card is right here with me. Come and take it if you can," Alex blew some smoke at Shane as he flicked his cigarette.

Shane frowned. Why doesn't Alex look affected at all?

"Is that so? Okay then, I'll go collect it once I've finished eating," chuckled Shane before he had the waitresses serve the dishes.

That was when Alex's expression changed.

A sense of weakness spread across his entire body, and his head felt dizzy.
