Facing the situation in front of him, the nightclub boss was sweating profusely. Although he was also considered someone of high status, he had never been caught in a situation like this. He had never dared to consider himself to be on the same level as Liam. At a moment like this, he felt beneath Liam and carefully asked, “Young Master Liam, it’s like this. I’m not sure… if I could speak to you for a moment?”

“Oh? Why so secretive?” Liam finished his drink and turned back to look at the 3 lackeys, tilting his head.

This time, the lackeys caught the hint and walked up to the nightclub boss and searched him from head to toe. Finding nothing suspicious, they reported to Liam: “Young Master, it is safe.”

The nightclub boss did not know whether to laugh or cry. This young man was certainly cautious…

In reality, Liam did not think the nightclub boss would dare to play any tricks Liam just wanted to show him who was the boss. Observing the nightclub boss and seeing how there were not many customers in the nightclub, Liam knew that the boss had definitely come to him for a reason.

Just as Liam thought, after everyone had left the scene, leaving only Tzuyu and the nightclub boss, the nightclub boss carefully asked, “Young Master Liam, the business at our nightclub has been lackluster due to inefficient management. It is rare that Young Master Liam visits us, so I just wanted to check if Young Master Liam has any intentions of taking over the nightclub. If so, if Young Master Liamp intends to hold any parties or organize any events, it would be more convenient…”

“Oh?” The boss had approached to have him directly take over the nightclub? Liam thought, Is he so anxious to get rid of the nightclub? Seems like they are losing a lot of money every month. This is a rather good opportunity to fulfill my mission as a prodigal. Although this was what came to his mind, he was not the same prodigal as before. He was a prodigal who had aspirations. Liam considered, smiled, and then replied, “Although I am a prodigal, your place is rather expensive. Look at the interior and the building. I might not be able to afford it.”

The nightclub boss wiped his sweat. “A-actually… it is not that expensive. Just 1.5 million for the entire building, including the decorations and the parking lots in front of the building. What’s your decision? Young Master Liam only needs to discuss this with Mr. Manoban. This is a place with prospects.”

“Just 1.5 million?” Liam touched his chin slightly. “This way, I could squander quite a big sum of money. I like it!”

Hearing him muttering to himself, Tzuyu, who had been standing beside him all this while, gave him a sharp kick. “You wastrel! Why don’t you think before acting?! This place is outside of Four Loops; the land is cheap! This building is worth at most 700,000. Asking for 1.5 million is playing tricks on you!”

Chewy, this is what I’ve been waiting for—to hear you say this! I might be a prodigal, but I am not a sucker!

Liam was over the moon, although appearing to object to her sudden speech. “If I don’t spend so much, how do I show others that I’m different from other prodigals?” Upon hearing this, the nightclub boss grinned. However, Liam then turned back on his words. “But 1.5 million is indeed asking for too much. Even though I get all the support from home for being a wastrel, I can’t possibly have so much money on hand. How do we do this?”

Although Tzuyu was only Liam’s fiancée in name, she went against him. “Liam Manoban! Don’t you dare! Otherwise, I will hit you unconscious and drag you out this moment!”

“All right!” Liam admitted defeat. “I won’t do it this time, okay?!”

Just as he said this, the nightclub boss started to panic. The boss had invested 6 million in this nightclub. He had been in business for three to four years, and as the nightclub was simply too far from the city area, the customer volume had been low; it was barely surviving. After all, being situated at a place like this, consumer spending was low. Without sufficient consumer spending, there was no way the nightclub could make money. With the number of customers decreasing, if the boss did not make use of this opportunity to sell the nightclub, when would a better chance come along?
