Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1079 The Real Deal

Horace was a middle-aged man of somewhat rotund proportions. When he noticed Alex only giving a nod of acknowledgment, rather than fawning over him with handshakes, Horace’s chubby face darkened in displeasure.

“Young man, where did you graduate from? If you’re not thriving in your job, you should consider helping me in Horington for my cousin’s sake. We’re short of staff there, and the pay won’t disappoint you. After all. I’m a person of considerable standing in Horington.” His tone was brash and assertive.

Subconsciously, Horace was rather dissatisfied with Alex’s indifferent attitude toward him. He wanted to assert the significance of his position in hopes that Alex would ingratiatingly curry favor with him. Perhaps I’ll consider treating you to a decent meal if you come to your senses.

Setting down his glass, Alex seemed amused. He smiled and said, “It seems like you’re quite an influential figure. Our quaint Nebula City can’t compare to a metropolis such as Horington, to be sure. Might I ask why you have graced us with your presence, Mr. Hernandez?”
