Chapter 34: Demon

The second uncle was gasping, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our Foster family is entirely relying on your abilities. What do you mean by an empty title? Besides, you were indeed gentle as a child, but when you grew up, you looked just like a domineering CEO. As for your health, the doctor said long ago that once your leg fully heals, you could even participate in a marathon." In response to this doubt, William Foster just smiled and said, "The old rule remains: knowing too much isn’t always a good thing." The second uncle was inwardly dissatisfied: what he said is the truth! The other two were even more puzzled, completely unable to guess William Foster’s game plan. But soon, he revealed the truth: "Let me just admit it plainly, the relationship between me and her is indeed unusual. She is extremely kind-hearted. At the time of our meeting, for certain reasons, I misled her into thinking I was at a disadvantage. Honestly, who doesn’t yearn for a pure love?" Upon hearing this, the three uncles just vaguely echoed, "Uh... I suppose so..." Yet deep down, they were muttering: how can you speak so righteously? William Foster continued to explain: "Her family is forcing her to marry a man of poor character, so I seized the chance to express that my family is also forcing me into a similar marriage arrangement, aiming to seize my property. Thus, we came to an agreement to fake a marriage." The faces of the three uncles began to twitch. What did he just say? What did he say? This guy actually said he was being bullied by the family. Such audacity, he dares to speak out like this. At this point, William Foster began to boast without holding back: "I am truly sincere to her, wholeheartedly good to her, but perhaps she is now just out of pity, thinking I’m quite pitiable. So my plan is to first stabilize her heart, then slowly reveal my feelings to her, and let her truly accept me. However, in this process, I need a little help from the three of you." Uncle responded, not even blinking: "I have a bad feeling about this... I have a premonition that something bad is going to happen." The second uncle chimed in: "Don’t mention it, upon hearing this, I’m already starting to feel nauseous. This feeling is really discomforting." The third uncle looked at William Foster helplessly, hesitantly asked: "Do we have the right to refuse? To be honest, I really don’t want to get involved in this kind of thing." William Foster’s expression turned somber, a hint of disappointment and dissatisfaction in his look: "So you guys don’t care about my happiness, whether I can find someone who is truly good to me." Seeing this, the three shivered immediately, hastily attempting to appease him: "Help, we will definitely help, don’t get mad. We understand your feelings, we’ll surely do our best to assist you." Even though they’ve had some significance within the family, no one dares to mess with this little tyrant William Foster easily. After all, they have already suffered endless pranks from him since childhood and really don’t want to continue being his live targets. Although he wouldn’t really act against his own, they also don’t want to endure those embarrassing experiences again. Immediately, William Foster’s expression softened, seemingly understanding their concerns, he said gently: "I guess the people I can trust the most in this life are indeed you three uncles." The uncle rubbed his temples, thinking to himself to skip meaningless chatter: "Enough, stop dawdling, just tell us what to do? As long as it’s not too excessive, we’ll do it." William Foster looked at the three uncles and slowly said: "I need the three of you to play the role of villains bullying me, so that the girl would feel pity when she sees it, and cherish my presence more." They were speechless all of a sudden, genuinely reluctant to act like this, but couldn’t refuse. They really disliked such roles, feeling too against their nature! William Foster spoke earnestly: "Whether this marriage goes smoothly onto the right track entirely depends on your performance uncles. I hope you can help me, this is really important to me." Having heard this, what reason do they have to refuse? They had no choice but to agree. "Alright, we’ll do our best to portray the role, help you fulfill your wish." After hanging up the phone, the three of them almost simultaneously leaped up with a complex expression on their faces filled with both surprise and delight. The uncle recalled the earlier conversation with that person, frowning and analyzing: "Isn’t this just blatant intimidation to us? If he fails to win over that girl, then in the end, all the responsibilities fall on us, the helpers." After hearing this, the second uncle appeared quite relaxed, patting the uncle on the shoulder and said: "But there is a good side too, which is that at least in the future we no longer have to worry about his marriage, nor worry about him bothering us again." The third uncle, after seconds of deliberation, solemnly announced a decision he hastily made. "I just instructed my secretary to help me enroll in a performance training class, and I also suggest the two of you sign up too. Although I’m not familiar with the girl, nor can I guarantee success in helping him pursue her, one thing I’m certain of is, if our cooperation fails in certain areas, we will undoubtedly suffer his harsh punishment." The uncle recalled an embarrassing moment experienced before, and still feels very embarrassed and upset: "Being his younger brother is utterly disgraceful! Do you still remember during last summer break, I provided him information about a wealthy lady? The next morning, I opened my eyes to find a beautiful girl lying beside me. Then, when my wife walked in, she sensed something was off, directly grabbed my ears, and scolded me severely. Eventually, to clear things up, I had to kowtow in apology at the computer keyboard for three whole days to finally calm the matter down." Upon hearing these words, the two brothers beside him also recalled similar scenes happened to themselves in the past, instinctively covering their cheeks, letting out low groans, hearts filled with bitterness. William Foster is simply a demon in their minds. However, at this moment, knowing well the frustration and helplessness within the hearts of these uncles, William himself was smiling, appearing very satisfied. Zam returned to the room, slightly surprised by the boss’ smile: "It’s rare for Mr. William Foster to remain in such a good mood after a phone call with family elders." To this, William Foster responded smugly: "Haha, from now on, no more relatives forcing me to blind dates or marriage." Zam, hearing this, hurriedly congratulated his master: "That is indeed worth celebrating!" While valuing emotions is important, deep down he was extremely against passive blind dates. ```
