Atius made a return trip to the Yates family and found that Nidawi particularly enjoyed playing with Lena.
Even the old patriarch Lazar said, "Lena is a girl of a cold disposition, I never expected her to get along with Nidawi."
Atius glanced at Lena, who was squatting beside a flowerpot counting ants with Nidawi, and called out with a smile, "Lena, I'd like to have a word with you."
Lena's body trembled, and she quickly got up and followed Atius as he walked out of the courtyard.
Damir, holding a stack of documents, came out of the study and saw this scene, expressing his surprise, "Why does Lena act like a mouse who has seen a cat upon seeing Atius?"
Lazar laughed heartily, "This is what is called 'every Jack has his Jill!'"
Outside the courtyard.
Lena stood respectfully to one side, her voice trembling as she asked, "Lord, do you have any instructions for me?"
Atius said expressionlessly, "I will not hold you accountable for stealing the Heart of the Galaxy."
"Now tell me about the situation on Blood Shark Island."
Lena nodded hastily, "Lord, Blood Shark Island is located atop the vast sea."
"They regularly select talented individuals from around the world and bring them back to the island for training. Only after reaching the Earth Rank are they allowed to leave Blood Shark Island."
"In fact, Blood Shark Island is an assassin organization that specializes in hunting targets above Earth Rank to earn funds."
"Additionally, Blood Shark Island has three Island Masters, all of whom are Heaven Rank experts."
Atius hummed in response, "Do you know the exact location of Blood Shark Island?"
Lena shook her head, "Blood Shark Island is shrouded in fog all year round, and there are designated people to escort in and out. I only know a few meeting points."
After thinking for a moment, Atius said in a deep voice, "In three days, you will take me to Blood Shark Island."
Lena did not dare to ask why and quickly nodded in agreement.
Just as they were about to walk back to the courtyard, they saw a stretch Rolls-Royce driving past.
It was Jamal, Maille's father.
He came with his eldest son Vasquez, bringing many gifts, and as soon as he saw Atius, he hurriedly quickened his pace.
"Lord!" the elderly Jamal was about to bow when Atius stopped him with a hand, "By seniority, I should call you 'grandfather-in-law.'"
Jamal was flattered and shook his head, about to say something, but Atius cut him off, "Let's go inside and talk."
Jamal nodded and walked shoulder to shoulder with Atius into the courtyard.
Vasquez already knew Atius's identity and was extremely restrained as he watched Atius's back, not even daring to make a sound as he walked.
Calum suddenly came out from around the corner and said to Lena, "Lena, Atius... what exactly is his identity?"
Lena gave a bitter smile, "Grandpa Xenos, without the lord's permission, I dare not reveal any information."
Calum could only nod and entered the courtyard with Lena.
In the tea room.
Lazar looked at Jamal with a puzzled face.
He knew very well that his father-in-law never looked up to his son and had never visited their Yates family after kicking Maille out of the Lee family.
"Lazar, we are both of an age now, let's not bring up past affairs."
Lazar nodded with a smile, "Indeed, father-in-law, at our age, we see through everything."
"Now that Eilir has been found and has given birth to the adorable Nidawi, I hope you can persuade Maille to come back and live a good life with Damir."
Jamal nodded with a smile, "That's exactly why I came here, to discuss these matters with you."
"I'm getting old, and neither of my sons is competent. I plan to hand over the Lee family's business to Eilir."
Lazar suddenly frowned.
He couldn't understand Jamal's thinking.
With such a large family business, it should definitely be passed on to the brothers Vasquez and Darwin, so how could it fall to Eilir, his granddaughter?
Jamal didn't plan to explain and took a sip of tea, "If Eilir disagrees, I hope you can persuade her more, father-in-law."
Lazar was at a loss for words for a moment.
Fortunately, Atius spoke up in time, "I don't want Eilir to be too tired. She can't handle the big family business of the Lee family."
A glint of joy flashed in Vasquez's eyes, and he quickly took the teapot on the table to pour a cup for Atius.
A hint of disappointment crossed Jamal's face, and he could only nod, "Then we'll listen to Atius."
Perhaps it was really because of age, Jamal and Lazar, the two old gentlemen, seemed to have endless topics to talk about.
Atius spent a while in the courtyard playing with Nidawi, then suddenly asked, "Nidawi, would you like daddy to take you to see grandma?"
Nidawi's eyes lit up, and she picked a small red flower from the flowerpot, "Then I want to give the flower to grandma."
"Good," Atius said indulgently, picking up Nidawi and saying goodbye to Lazar and Jamal before driving off in the silver BMW borrowed from Calandra toward the south of the city.
Arriving at the bottom of the apartment complex, Atius immediately saw his newly purchased Ferrari SUV with a large dent in the front and the headlights smashed.
Eilir stood beside the car, somewhat at a loss.
"I'm sorry, Eilir," Maille said with her head lowered, "Mom got distracted while driving and hit a tree."
"But I've already contacted a repairman. It's an acquaintance, and it can be fixed for 500 dollars."
Eilir shook her head, "As long as you're okay, Mom. I'll figure out the car myself."
Maille thought the car was worth only two or three hundred thousand, but Eilir wasn't foolish. Upon checking, she knew it was the latest model Ferrari, with the lowest selling price being over five million.
The repair cost was likely to be at least two hundred thousand.
"Mommy!"
At the sound of Nidawi's crisp voice, Eilir quickly turned her head and saw Atius leading Nidawi slowly closer.
"Nidawi! Are you Nidawi? I'm your grandma!" Maille was even more excited, trembling all over as she rushed over and hugged Nidawi, kissing her several times.
Nidawi opened her hands and passed the red flower she brought to Maille, "Grandma, this is Nidawi's gift to you. Do you like it?"
Maille's eyes immediately moistened, and she held onto Nidawi, unwilling to let go.
"I'm sorry, Atius, the car was accidentally damaged," Eilir said, looking at Atius with some awkwardness, "I'll take it to the repair shop right now."
Atius, however, shook his head with a smile, "It's okay. You haven't seen Nidawi for several days. Take Nidawi upstairs first. I'll take care of the car."
Eilir bit her lip and asked, "How much did you loan for this car? I'll help you pay it back."
Atius suddenly found Eilir particularly adorable at that moment and teased her, "I loaned five million dollars, to be repaid over a hundred years. You'll have to stay with me for a hundred years."
Eilir's gaze flickered, her cheeks flushed, and she turned to talk to Nidawi.
Atius got into the Ferrari and drove toward the 4S shop.
Seeing Atius return, the two female sales reps who had been snubbed last time immediately lit up with eagerness and greeted him warmly.
"Mr. Seymour, are you here to buy another car?"
Atius shook his head, pointing to the car in the parking spot outside, "The car was damaged. I'm here for repairs."
The two female sales reps immediately lost interest.
Atius looked around the shop and frowned, "Where's Panchali, who sold me the car?"
The sales rep from the Schofield family said dismissively, "She's in the process of resigning."
As they spoke, Panchali, with red eyes, came out of an office, barely holding back her tears.
Seeing Atius, Panchali quickly wiped away her tears.
"Mr. Seymour, you're here."
Atius nodded, "The car was damaged. I'm here for repairs."
Panchali nodded with red eyes, "I'll go tell the master right away, please ask him to fix it for you as soon as possible."
The two female sales reps next to her snorted coldly, "Panchali, you've been fired, get out of here!"
Atius frowned, looking at Panchali and asking, "Why were you fired?"
Panchali couldn't hold back her tears and shook her head, "I don't know, I've always been very dedicated to my work."
Atius hummed, pointing to the car he had driven, "Do you still have this model in stock?"
Panchali subconsciously nodded, "There are two left."
"I'll take them all."
"Ah?" Panchali was a bit stunned, then turned to the two female sales reps, "Ms. Schofield, Ms. Lee, Mr. Seymour wants to buy cars, please help Mr. Seymour with the paperwork."
Fausta Schofield and Tacita were instantly overjoyed.
But Atius shook his head, "I want Panchali to handle the paperwork for me!"
Fausta looked astonished, "But she's already been fired!"
"Who said Panchali was fired!"
A man in his thirties ran out of the office, glaring and shouting, "Panchali is an outstanding employee in our store, who said she was going to be fired!"
Fausta and Tacita were immediately frozen in place.
"Mr. Watson, didn't you promise me that you would fire..."
"Shut up!" Erez Watson glared at Fausta, then turned to Atius with a smile, "Mr. Seymour, I apologize for the scene."
Atius ignored Erez and sat down in the rest area.
Erez hurriedly looked at Panchali, "Panchali, take the trouble to help Mr. Seymour with the paperwork."
Panchali looked at Erez blankly, "Manager, didn't you just say I was fired?"
"No, you heard wrong, Panchali. How could I bear to fire such an excellent employee like you?"
"Go and process Mr. Seymour's paperwork."
Panchali immediately beamed with joy, "Alright!"
Atius slowly shook his head, people as simple and sincere as Panchali are often the easiest to bully.
Soon, Panchali returned with two sets of keys.
"Mr. Seymour, the paperwork is done!"
Atius nodded with a smile, "I'll drive one away, and you help me drive the other to Blissful Garden. The one that needs repair, once it's fixed, also drive it to Blissful Garden."
Panchali nodded eagerly, bowing to Atius, "Thank you, Mr. Seymour, I'll go get the car right away."
Atius nodded with a smile, sitting in the rest area to wait.
Erez came over with a smile and sat opposite Atius, handing him a silver card, "Mr. Seymour, you've been upgraded to our Ferrari three-star level. From now on, whether it's buying a car or maintenance, you'll get a big discount."
Atius gave a cold smile and took out a purple-gold card from his wallet.
Erez froze, his gaze becoming dull.
"Nine-star VIP!"
Erez rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
The nine-star is the highest level of VIP card in the Ferrari Group, and over the years, no one has been known to possess one.
Having this card, his status was equivalent to the group's boss Zikomo!
Erez no longer dared to sit, quickly standing to one side, his back almost bent at ninety degrees.
Atius snorted coldly, "Do you need me to teach you who should stay and who should go in your store?"
"No need!" Erez was sweating profusely, "Rest assured, I will immediately fire Fausta and Tacita. From now on, Panchali will be the assistant manager!"
