The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 303

Chapter 303: A VALUABLE PIECE

A smile curved Lou’s lips, but there was this fire in his eyes when he stared at Cane, as the Alpha sat down on the sofa and waved his hand, indicating for him to sit down as well.

This orphanage was not the merchant’s place and he was only a guest here, but the way Cane treated him was too outrageous! He just came to visit and gave Iris a bucket of flowers, why did he look so hostile?!

Lou really wanted to curse this alpha!

But in the end, he kept his smile and sat down docilely, or that was how he wanted to appear in front of the Alpha, so Cane wouldn’t put up his guard too high with him. Too bad for him, since his intention was very clear that he wanted to get close to his mate, there was no way Cane would put his guard down.

"What do you want to talk about?" Cane cut straight to the point as always, he didn’t even bother to offer the merchant a drink or even dinner together out of politeness. "I think it will be months before we will discuss installing the magical devices."

Lou was still working on the magical devices for the capital city and there was no set date when he would go to the Blue Moon pack and the Howling Wolf pack, thus this discussion was not necessary.

However, aside from this excuse, Lou couldn’t think of another good one.

"I only want to discuss business with you, it’s necessary to keep contact with people in business. After all, we have not yet met for long." Lou looked like a harmless man when he smiled at Cane, but of course, the Alpha didn’t buy it. "I want to leave a good impression on the citizens."

"Building magical devices in the capital city around this time will leave a good impression on people about you." Especially after two monster attacks, no one would think bad about him.

"Yes, that’s right, that’s right." Lou nodded his head. His smile was exceptionally beautiful, but this irked Cane. "But, as a businessman, I need more. Capital city is the place where many great people gather around. Those people have so much influence, even outside of the continent." Lou leaned over, looking excited to lay his plan. "Since we are already doing business and have become close acquaintances..."

"No, we are not."

Lou was speechless. He wanted to growl at the Alpha. It was only a figure of speech. He didn’t think they were close either!

Lou cleared his throat and shamelessly continued speaking, as if he didn’t hear what Cane said. "I want to help with the orphanage too. I am sure I can be a great help!"

Hearing that, Cane could already guess what was in his mind. Somehow, this merchant must have read their movement that Iris would help with the orphanage, this was a way for them to warm up to the people and with the help of Prince Kellan, it would be the easiest and safest way to calm down the public after the appearance of the lycan and also the rumor about Prince Vemion’s kidnapping.

There was something wrong with this merchant. He was too persistent about getting close to his mate. It almost felt like he was infatuated with her, though they only met a handful of times. What did he want from Iris?

Cane stood up after Lou stated his intention for coming to the orphanage. "I should decline."

"Why?" Lou stood up as well. He had not yet explained to Cane what kind of help he was going to provide to this place, but he already refused him? "Come and sit down, I have not yet told you what my plans for the orphanage are."

Lou made the same gesture as Cane did when he told him to sit down.

However, it was so bad for him, the trick didn’t work on the Alpha, as he walked toward the door instead, speaking casually. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

"This orphanage doesn’t belong to me, it belongs to Prince Kellan. I am not the right person to talk to."
