Beast World: The Villain Baby Is Not Conforming to the System! Chapter 143: Because the Curry Family Paid Enough

"So, you still care about bloodlines?" Song Chen’s words carried a hint of mockery.

Those who knew secretly laughed in their hearts.

In the face of the Curry family’s exploitation, bloodlines had to take a back seat.

Aliya had been so imposing for so long that few people spoke to her like this, and even more rare in such a public setting.

A hint of anger rolled in Aliya’s eyes as she spoke heavily, "Song Chen, shall we talk?"

If the people around her weren’t so useless, why would she need to step in herself?

She just hoped Song Chen would be sensible, otherwise... she’d make him learn to bow his head!

Song Chen sneered, "I think we have nothing to talk about."

"What about if it’s about your father?" Aliya twisted the Purple Jade Bracelet on her hand, which Nasi gave her back in the day.

Ever since she threw Song Chen into Undersea City, she had locked the bracelet away and never wore it again. Only today, when coming to see Song Chen, did she suddenly think of it and put it back on.

"Your father left you quite a bit back then, don’t you want it?"

After Nasi’s death, half of his estate belonged to Aliya, and the other half was supposed to belong to Song Chen.

Even half was a huge fortune.

Aliya herself was tempted, let alone Song Chen.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t touch that half.

Nasi, being her Beast Husband, still held sothing back from her. She couldn’t take the other half of the estate without Song Chen unlocking it himself.

Song Chen’s eyes flickered, "How do you want to talk?"

His father’s belongings did hold so allure for him. More importantly, he knew Aliya’s patience level, and that she wouldn’t easily give up until she achieved her goal. Rather than repeatedly angering her, it was better to see what she was really planning.

"Let’s go upstairs." Aliya glanced at him and directly ascended the stairs, her back exuding an air of superiority and victory.

Bader glared at Song Chen with a contemptuous gaze and snorted.

Song Chen didn’t care, he just glanced in the direction of Yu Man, then turned his head and followed up.

Seeing Aliya and the others go upstairs, many people gathered to discuss.

"Song Chen knows Aliya?"

"You didn’t know? Song Chen is Aliya’s son; look at how much they resemble each other..."

Yu Manman, with her keener hearing than most, heard clearly.

"How co I never heard she had another son?"

"That was a long ti ago. I heard she had a son who almost killed soone, so she tossed him into Undersea City to fend for himself. But... a little kid killing soone... who knows what really happened? You know the Curry family is also a ss."

"As expected of Aliya, so ruthless..."

Yu Manman clutched her mother’s clothes, "Mom..."

"They’re talking about Grandpa," Yu Manman whispered.

In Beast World, children may take either parent’s surna, depending on family strength, the dominant voice, and tradition, often with no differentiation between paternal and maternal grandparents, all called grandfathers and grandmothers.

"Don’t worry, your third father will be fine." Yu Man was actually nervous inside.

Guan Heng stood beside Yu Man, patting her shoulder reassuringly.

"Lady Yu Man, we et again." Esie Burles, one arm around Freya’s waist, pushed her forward with one hand and carried a drink to Yu Man with a smile of interest.

"I originally asked Corbin to invite Bai... no, I should call him Lai, but my third brother is really useless." Esie glanced at Corbin, silent in the corner, like a dirty dog licking its wounds in the dark.

"Lady Yu Man, I’ve heard about your remarkable talents in developing a Rest Pod. I wonder if the Burles family would have a chance to cooperate with you?"

"Cooperation matters aren’t my responsibility; you can talk to Song Chen." Yu Man carried a hint of caution.

"Great! At such a joyous banquet, let’s not talk business." Esie smiled.

If it weren’t for the old man at ho insisting, he wouldn’t care about Rest Pods at all.

It’s a pity his Bai didn’t co... truly regrettable...

However, since he was here, he naturally had to seek so amusent.

Esie leaned aside, looking at Yu Manman, "What a cute little cub, heard she’s from the Fish Clan? With so many kids here, why not let her play?"

Before Yu Man could speak, Esie continued, "My family’s ocean zoo is quite nice; how about we invite you to visit soti?"

Esie seed to sigh, murmuring, "If given a chance, I’d actually like to show you where Bai used to live."

"That place, I visit from ti to ti."

After all, that Bai was one of the few who managed to ensnare him, and he hadn’t forgotten Bai after all these years.

Esie’s ntion of Yu Manman and Lai left Yu Man wondering if Esie had his eye on Manman...

Freya had long been accustod to Esie’s personality, with self-dialogues whose intent no one could fathom; perhaps they had no aning at all, rely ant to unsettle others. As long as others were unhappy, he was happy.

"Oh, right." Esie glanced upstairs, "The person who just went up, is he your Beast Husband? Do you know what the Curry family has been secretly plotting here?"

"Your Beast Husband..." Esie sighed, "I didn’t actually want to dirty my place, but the Curry family paid enough."

"You know, I’m not yet the head of the Burles family; I can’t decide on so things." Esie gave a half-smile.

Yu Man couldn’t help but feel tightness in her heart.

Esie Burles must know sothing.

Esie propped one arm on the table, looking warmly at Yu Man, "Seeing as you are Bai’s wife, why don’t we make a deal? You collaborate with us Burles, and that’ll allow to fall out with the Curry family."

"The Rest Pod’s technology will surely co into our hands; the sooner it reaches , the less chance it enters the Curry family first."

Esie’s words all hinted that the Curry family wanted the Rest Pod technology, intended to start with Song Chen, and that the Burles family was also involved, ready to split the spoils once Aliya succeeded.

Esie was domineering, wanting to swallow everything, which is why he ca to her with half-truths and provocations.

"Lady Yu Man, why are you silent? Is it because you find too talkative?" Esie glanced at the ti, "But it’s okay, Lady Yu Man can think it over."

"Just consider it for ten minutes." Esie spoke leisurely, "If it goes beyond that, I truly don’t know what might happen."

"I’m not in a hurry; I can wait... slowly."

Yu Man’s eyes darkened.

He was indeed unhurried...

Yu Man knew Esie just wanted to stir her emotions, but it felt quite unsettling indeed.
