Quella Radcliffe seems to be interested in Nando Brandon, it is said that she’s already making her move!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Cook Family villa, the leading businessmen of Gonzalez City gathered, leisurely sipping tea with none of the tension that had preceded their bet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a stark contrast to the anxious and tense atmosphere surrounding Quella Radcliffe’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the rush! Here in Gonzalez City, we have both money and people, someone like Nando Brandon is no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suggest that we get Nando Brandon on our side first, and make Quella Radcliffe give up the opportunity right away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right! Let’s end this bet early, with the New Year approaching, the longer the night, the more dreams will haunt us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing everyone’s suggestions, Bran Cook leaned back in his chair and nodded, “That’s what I think too. Nando Brandon’s concert is this afternoon, our people should head there first, and settle this matter before the concert begins. Better yet, lay a trap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sounds good, why don’t we leave right now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all left the Cook Family villa, laughing and joking on their way to the Valentine Hotel where the Enlighten Group was staying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Gonzalez City, none of these people’s actions could escape the Cook Family’s surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the room where Nando Brandon was staying was well-known to Bran Cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fleet of cars quickly arrived at the Valentine’s Hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nando Brandon’s room was on the third floor, right next to the room where Arvid Woody and others were staying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook led his entourage upstairs with great fanfare, and upon giving his name, he directly entered Arvid Woody’s temporary office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, nice to meet you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, Nando Brandon was discussing something with Arvid Woody. Seeing Bran Cook enter, Arvid Woody stood up with a pale face to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name Bran Cook was one he had heard early on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Influential, and with no small reputation in Gonzalez City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Cook, what brings you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arvid Woody took a sip of tea, his hand trembling as he held the cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no other option, work had to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they stopped now, the loss would be enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lost three agents, he was forced to take on much of the work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This gentleman here is Mr. Nando Brandon, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook glanced at the male artist sitting opposite Arvid Woody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one didn’t look closely, they might mistake him for a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, and who might you be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nando Brandon asked arrogantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a top influencer now, he was like a walking hormone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever he went, no matter how expensive the tickets, they would sell out instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had no regard for characters from such a trivial place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gonzalez City, after all, was just a small drop in the bucket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Bran Cook, and I would like to invite Mr. Nando Brandon to be our spokesperson. As for the endorsement fee…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook said this while glancing at the businessmen who had accompanied him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three hundred million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Nando Brandon was somewhat surprised!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an astronomical endorsement fee!\u003C\u002Fp>",1323,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.711Z",1,"novelbin.me","484740bf3bcd2be9a1c920d3caea17a68b8c10a50d2abe8d6fc14308857bad8f","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-488","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-486",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
