A procession of people marched majestically into the Ridge Family estate.

Finnian Ridge was the Ridge Family’s only grandson, receiving every bit of affection and preference within the family.

But for some reason, since Truman Ridge’s generation, the Ridge Family began to thin in numbers.

He did have a few sons, but in the grandson’s generation, Finnian was the only boy, with all the rest being girls.

As the sole male heir of the Ridge Family, Finnian was practically born with a golden key in his mouth.

For the past twenty-something years, he had nothing else to do.

But spend money and have fun!

Even in the strictly managed Ridge Family mansion, he could come and go as he pleased with his entourage of rascals and scoundrels.

The Ridge Family members, in turn, doted on him, letting him do as he wished.

In Five-river Province, even the Four Young Masters would have to give face to Finnian.

Since the Ridge Family was not lacking in money, Finnian had never taken his studies seriously and did not possess any particular skills.

Having been treated like a lord from such a young age, Finnian’s arrogance was not hard to imagine.

Now, when his own people were bullied, and the culprits had just come to their Ridge estate, Finnian naturally wanted to make a show of retaliation.

As per usual, anyone who came to the door was there to seek favour from the

Ridge Family or to curry favour proactively.

Most of the time, they wouldn’t even get to see Truman Ridge’s face.

To groom Finnian, the Ridge Family often sent him out to meet these visitors. As for the specifics, it was all up to Finnian’s mood.

The Ridge Family wasn’t short on money, and oftentimes, as long as Finnian was pleased, this young Ridge Family member could finalize some affairs.

When they walked in, they saw the guards lying on the ground in agonizing pain.

“What happened?”

Finnian frowned, clearly realizing something had gone wrong.

“Just now, a man and a woman barged in and knocked us all down without saying a word.”

A man, upon seeing Finnian, hurriedly began to speak.

“Is the woman very beautiful?”

A wounded youngster behind Finnian inquired.

“Exactly! ”

The man nodded affirmatively.

“Brother Samuel, those two are pretty brazen. It’s one thing for them to beat up our brothers, but now they’ve come to the Ridge estate to cause trouble, we can’t stand for this!”

The young man was elated. He knew something of what the Ridge Family was capable of.

Simply by being close to Finnian, his family’s business had received quite a bit of favor.

Now, with this man and woman daring to make trouble at the Ridge estate, weren’t thev courting death?

Sure enough, hearing the man’s words, Finnian’s expression darkened, “Let’s go and have a look. ”

Meanwhile, Truman Ridge was thrilled upon hearing that Julius Reed had arrived.

“Butler! Go and see if Finnian is around, have him entertain them for me for the moment. I’m preparing a gift for the Young Master that will be ready shortly!”

He instructed the nearby butler.

Truman Ridge had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Today, he was particularly filled with personal motives.

He’d prepared an extremely rare gift at great cost, simply to give Finnian an opportunity to become acquainted.

If they had the protection of the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, Finnian’s life would be set and secure.

“Understood! I’ll go find Young Master right away! ”

The butler nodded and walked out from the basement.

“Young Master, are you there?”

He pulled out his phone and called Finnian. “Just got back! Have a man and a woman arrived at our place?”

Finnian’s voice came through the phone.

“Exactly. Lord Ridge asked you to entertain them first, he will be there later!”

“Rest assured! I will definitely take good care of them!”

Hearing Finnian’s response, the butler was clearly startled.

Could it be that the young master already knew the Young Master had arrived?

In the past, Finnian was often reluctant to perform such hosting duties. But today, the young master unexpectedly said he would take good care of them.

Nonetheless, it was a good thing to get acquainted in front of the Young Master of Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance was a dream many could not achieve in their lifetime.

After receiving the message from the guards, the butler immediately rushed over with people.

Upon seeing it was Julius Reed, the butler didn’t say a word and knelt on the ground.

Then, he took Julius Reed and Cosmo to the Ridge Family’s treasure room and went to inform Truman Ridge.

What he didn’t expect, however, was that Finnian Ridge’s idea of a kind reception was filled with hatred!

“The old man asked me to host them, today, you all will get to know just how formidable I, Truman Ridge, can be!”

With a cold smile, Finnian Ridge, along with the youths, hastened toward the Ridge Family’s main hall.

Julius Reed and Cosmo stood inside the room at that moment.

Looking at each and every painting on the walls.

All of them were originals, and they spanned various ages—some even thousands of years apart.

But there was a feature common in all the paintings, within them was a very blurry figure of a passerby.

No matter which master’s hand had painted them, despite differing styles, this inconspicuous figure looked exactly the same in each.

This made Julius Reed couldn’t help but sigh, how quickly time flies!

“Oh! What a coincidence, meeting here!”

Just then, Finnian Ridge and a crowd of people came in with great fanfare. Upon spotting Julius Reed, the expression of the young man behind him immediately turned extremely grim.

“Quite the coincidence indeed!”

Julius Reed, seeing Finnian Ridge, also showed a hint of surprise.

“You are…”

“My name is Finnian Ridge, the only grandson of the old man.”

Finnian Ridge sat down, slinging one leg over the other, “Today, I’m the one responsible for hosting you!”

“You are?

Julius Reed, smiling, shook his head, “I’m afraid not.”

If Truman Ridge dared to have a junior host him, he must be out of his mind.

Others might not know his capabilities, but the Ridge Family certainly did.

That was why, with just the words “The Traveler of the Snowy Night,” Truman Ridge dared to throw hundreds of billions into it.

“Whether it’s appropriate or not is for this young master to decide,” said Finnian Ridge with a sneer, pointing at the teapot, “First, serve your young master a pot of tea.”

It was a rule, anyone who came to the Ridge Family’s home would consciously serve Finnian Ridge a cup of tea as a sign of respect.

“Brother Samuel, why not have that woman serve you tea?” asked the injured youth, eyeing the situation and speaking up.

“Good!”

Finnian Ridge grinned, looking at Cosmo suggestively, “You, come over and pour tea for your young master!”

Finnian Ridge wanted to dampen her arrogance after she had been too presumptuous just before.

“I’ll pour for you, but do you dare to drink?”

Cosmo laughed it off, pouring tea for the Empress; he must be sick of living?

She looked at Julius Reed, seeking her master’s opinion.

“Whatever makes you happy.”

Julius Reed left it at that.

The Ridge Family was nothing much, a lesson was indeed due.

Though Cosmo might be a bit overbearing, she surely wouldn’t kill anyone here; as long as Finnian Ridge didn’t die, what harm would it do if he were crippled?

“Okay!”

After receiving her master’s permission, Cosmo cheerfully picked up the steaming hot tea, pouring it slowly into the cup.

“Got to say, not bad at all!”

Finnian Ridge couldn’t help but feel tempted as he watched Cosmo pour the tea.

“Would you mind being my woman?” he blurted out, utterly disregarding Julius Reed’s feelings, attempting to steal his companion.

After all, from Cosmo’s previous words, he assumed the two were a couple.

“I would like to, but…”

Cosmo lifted the cup, sneaking a glance at Julius Reed.

“Haha! Rest assured, once the young master takes a liking, nobody can interfere!” proclaimed Finnian Ridge with a wave of his hand, all smiles. What could be more insulting than taking away another man’s woman?

Whoosh!

Cosmo threw a cup of scalding hot tea right onto Finnian Ridge’s face, “I want to see if this thick skin of yours is afraid of getting burned!”
