100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 302 A Son Helping His Father

Day Thirty-Five...

~~*****~~

Old Man Xu just let out a husky chuckle. "Don't get mad. Listen to me first, my dearest son. This father of yours won't do anything that will harm you," Old Man Xu tried to coax his angry son.

"Explain." Nathan's deep cold voice echoed inside the study room.

"I'm dying and I want to see you getting married. Only that, I will die in peace." Old Man Xu tried to use this cliche, persuading Nathan to cooperate.

"I wouldn't buy that lie. You are a picture of health. After getting your general check-up last month, Doctor Zhou said that you are as fit as a fiddle."

"Cough! Cough!" Old Man Xu choked. He forgot about that. He was healthier than others. And their family doctor, Dr. Zhou, even told him that he could live up to One Hundred Years if he would continue to maintain his healthy diet and exercises.

"I know. I'm just testing you. You didn't even show me a bit hint of concern," Old Man Xu said, putting on a pitiful face.

"Stop beating around the bush, Dad. Just tell me where did you get this ridiculous idea of marrying me off to someone I don't even know." Nathan's expression could no longer be painted. He looked like a tiger ready to pounce on his prey.

"Fine. I will only ask you this favor, son. Just buy me some time and cooperate with me. I need you to pretend... Agreeing to this arranged marriage. When the right time comes, we will break off the engagement. In the meantime, can you entertain Chairman Carlsen's Helena? You can force her to break off this engagement yourself." Old Man Xu began pleading with his son.

"Buy you sometime? What trouble did you make old man? Involving me with this ridiculous plan!"

"I have no choice, Nate. I have to accept this deal. I can't tell you the reason... But I hope you will cooperate with me. I promise... I will deal with this problem myself. I won't allow you to marry the daughter of a scheming old man, Maximilian Carlsen!"

"Give me one month... Pretend to be her loyal fiancé for a month!" Old Man Xu added with his pleading eyes.

"Tell me a good reason why I should cooperate with you. What benefit will I get from this?" Nathan questioned his father, not giving in that easily.

"If you agree, I will give you anything that you want from me. Anything. Just ask me anything... I will do it for you." Old Man Xu offered Nathan a favorable deal he couldn't resist.

"You know me... I never break my promise. I am a man of my word," Old Man Xu added, reassuring Nathan.

"What is the deal with Chairman Carlsen?" Nathan asked him. This was the first time he heard of that name. AMB Diamond Corporation was new to him as well.

"I will settle a score with that scheming old man. Don't intervene, Nate. I will defeat him myself. I was insulted and humiliated by him. I will get my revenge. So stay away from this old man. Just focus on entertaining his daughter." Old Man Xu didn't want Nathan to dig deeper and investigate Chairman Carlsen. He was worried that he might discover the recordings and his secret.

"In short, you have a grudge against him because you got humiliated by him. So this old man is capable... humiliating Chairman Xu of SYP Twilight Corp. Fine. I agree. I will help you but make sure you will crush him ten times." Nathan's competitiveness acted up. His pride couldn't take it. His father got humiliated by this unknown old man.

Old Man Xu blinked his eyes in disbelief. His son finally yielded to his request just like that... He couldn't believe it.

"Does it mean... you are going to cooperate with me now, my son?" Old Man Xu's eyes sparkled in delight. He stood up and approached his son. He held his shoulders and gazed at him straight into his eyes.

"Yes. I will." Nathan plainly said. It was seldom for his father to ask for a favor from him. It only meant his father badly needed his help and he was in a desperate situation.

Old Man Xu punched the air and he chuckled crispily hearing Nathan's response. "Thank you, son! I promise. I will grant anything you will ask of me... to the best of my ability. You won't regret this," He guaranteed, tapping his son's shoulder.

Nathan just rolled his eyes skyward. This old man better won his war against Maximilian Carlsen, otherwise, he would step out and deal with him personally. Whoever messes with his family would receive Nathan's punishment.

Though his father was a powerful figure just like him, he wouldn't hesitate to act if someone bullied his father.

"Get ready. Tomorrow, you have to meet Helena Carlsen. I will book a table for two at the famous restaurant of Towerville City. This is your first meeting with her... A dinner date!"

Nathan frowned deeply when he heard that. He didn't expect that he would meet Maximilian's daughter so soon.

"Don't worry, son. I will set everything. You just have to show up. Only your presence is all I need. I will make the restaurant reservation, the flowers for her, and everything." Old Man Xu said those words to coax his son. He knew that Nathan didn't want to do those things personally. Axel was not available so no one could assist Nathan with regard to these things.

"Okay. Leave it to me. Just text me the reservation detail." Nathan stood up, picking up his coat. He was getting ready to leave. The discussion with his father was done.

"Hey son, stay for a while. I prepare lunch for you. Your favorite dish." Old Man Xu grabbed Nathan's hand. He felt relieved now. His son didn't refuse his offer. He was an obedient and considerate son today.

"So, this is your other way of bribing me, Dad?" Nathan scowled at his father.

"Of course not. This is not a bribe. My bribe is way more costly than this... See, you couldn't resist my offer." Old Man Xu burst out laughing, feeling proud of himself.

Nathan could only shake his head. 'I'm doing this favor because I respect this old man... a lot.'
