Chapter 110 Screw your luck!
The moment he saw the stranger appear, Jiude's expression changed drastically.
Without having time to think about how the other party had sneaked in, he instinctively reached for the safety button hidden under the desk.
As the residence of the super-rich Fiore, security measures are certainly quite tight, with many professional bodyguards on standby around the perimeter.
As soon as the red button was pressed, a sharp, piercing alarm sounded throughout the mansion.
However, several seconds passed, and Jiude still hadn't seen any security personnel, nor even a servant. The silence was eerily quiet.
"If you're thinking of summoning those useless mages and servants from the neighborhood, you might as well give up. They're fast asleep right now."
Chase casually pulled up a stool, strolled over and sat down opposite Jiude, crossing his legs. "Right now, you're the only one in this mansion who's sober."
The bodyguards employed by the Heartfilia Consortium were certainly not weak, but in front of him, they were still somewhat inadequate.
"Is there something you need from me?"
Jiude accepted reality, forced himself to remain calm, sat back down in his seat, and said coldly, "Cheese from Fairy Tail."
Taking advantage of the moment, he recognized the young man in front of him and was secretly alarmed.
Speaking of which, even though it's the guild his biological daughter belongs to, his understanding of Fairy Tail is questionable—how could a high-ranking conglomerate possibly look down on a mere "employment organization"?
The reason I recognized Chess was because of the widely publicized incident on the Isle of the Demon's Ruins, which I happened to have seen in the newspaper.
"Mr. Jiude is really forgetful. You've already forgotten that you commissioned Phantom to attack Fairy Tail?" Chase looked up and met Jiude's gaze.
Having been a prominent figure in the Fiore business world for many years, he was meticulous in both his hairstyle and clothing, and his brows naturally exuded the majesty of a high-ranking person.
"I simply entrusted the Phantom Lord to bring my rebellious daughter back from home."
Having confirmed the other party's identity, Jiude's composure deepened. "What, you Fairy Tail were attacked, and you're blaming me, the one who normally initiated the request?"
He didn't believe that Chess, who came from a legitimate guild and was a mage, would dare to do anything outrageous to him here, in Heartfilia's mansion!
"I don't care about commissions or anything like that, I've wanted to beat up those Ghosts guys for a long time."
Chase's gaze narrowed slightly. "However, Mr. Judd, you indirectly harmed Lucy and my partner, so you must pay the price."
"I see. Just tell me how much you want." Jiude sneered.
Based on his consistent understanding of mages, he guessed without hesitation that Chase had come for money.
Money is no object to him, since he'll definitely cleanse Fairy Tail later—if Lucy remains obstinate.
"As expected of the head of the Heartfilia Consortium, he's decisive enough!"
Chase smiled and slowly extended one finger. "I want a billion."
Upon hearing this large sum, Jiude frowned slightly.
Considering his current situation, he nodded and agreed: "No problem, I can write you a check right now."
"Go back to where you came from after you've taken it. My time is much more valuable than yours."
"No, no, I think you've misunderstood."
Chase adopted an even more arrogant posture, raising his hand to interrupt, "One billion is just the cost of the guild's destruction."
There's also the cost of hurting my lovely friends.
"I won't make things difficult for you. Just give me a hundred or two trillion, and we'll call it even."
"you!"
Jiude abruptly stopped filling out the check, looked up and stared intently at Chase, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger.
"What do you mean, 'I'? Using money to solve everything, isn't that your favorite way, Mr. Jiude?"
"
"You're just a nobody from a mere guild. You'd better not be too arrogant, or you'll only bring disaster upon your guild!"
"That's terrifying, the Heartfilia Foundation."
Chase slowly stood up, took two steps forward, and met Jiude's fierce gaze across the desk. "Don't forget, your daughter Lucy is also in this so-called guild!"
Upon hearing this, Jude's already irritable temper flared up. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, coldly emphasizing, "This is where Lucy truly belongs! The Hartfield family is where she is meant to be!"
"Oh really? But Lucy is in Fairy Tail now."
"That was nothing but a ridiculous and utterly foolish game!"
"But Lucy is in Fairy Tail now."
"From the moment of her birth, Lucy, endowed with the noble name of Heartfilia, was destined to be different from you lowly people who are still struggling for meager wages!"
"But Lucy is in Fairy Tail now."
Jiude was so angry that his chest heaved violently, his anger rising from the other party's illogical and shameless behavior.
Unfortunately, he couldn't refute this fact!
"He's just a brat trying to extort money from me, yet he keeps calling me Lucy—"
Veins bulged on Jiude's forehead as he roared, "How could you, an outsider, possibly understand the incredible luck that has finally befallen her?!"
"Well said! Then I'd like to ask you, as her father, do you know how angry Lucy looks when she's being pranked, how she cries loudly when everyone protects her, or how she can laugh when she wants to laugh and complain when she wants to complain?"
"I know! Everyone knows Fairy Tail!"
Chase's voice and even his tone rose, "Lucy calls me brother, but she addresses you with that cold, unapproachable 'Father.' Who's the outsider here?!"
After a barrage of soul-searching questions, the usually composed Jiude was completely overwhelmed, his facial features contorted in shock.
"In that case, you should be even less inclined to stop Lucy from pursuing her happiness! Marrying the eldest son of the Jeluannu family..."
That's her greatest fortune!!
The man's frantic and furious roars echoed in the spacious room.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Immediately following was Chase's loud, loud laughter.
What happened?
Is this guy insane?
Under Jude's bewildered gaze, Chase, having finished laughing, sat back down, arms outstretched, legs crossed, and slowly began to speak:
"Fuck your luck."
Jiude: "..—"
As the richest man in the country, he frequented high-end and elegant places and was surrounded by people of exceptional character. To be so shocked by this sudden, crude, and vulgar remark, he stood there dumbfounded!
"Well, if you insist on forcing Lucy into this marriage, Mr. Jude, I certainly won't stop you. This is a family matter between you and Thephilia."
Before Jude could react, Chase suddenly changed the subject, "But the marriage partner is uncertain, the eldest son of the Jeluannu family, right?"
"hehe."
Hearing this, Jude calmed down instead, and sneered coldly, "You ignorant brat, attacking the Jeluannu family? You have the guts?!"
