The father lit a cigarette and nodded, saying, “Mm, I feel the same way as you. Sigh, speaking of it, the The Carter Family and our The Hamilton Family have had ties going back generations. Even if there wasn’t this engagement, if he came to me for some funds to tide him over, I wouldn’t refuse. It’s just that this Richard Carter still hates owing people favors. Sigh, do you think, once his company gets through this rough patch, will he come back to break off the engagement?”

David Hamilton’s mother shot the father a playful glare and said, “You already know the answer, so why ask me? Actually, what I’m most worried about now isn’t whether their family will break off the engagement. I’m worried about what will happen to David in the future. You know about his health…”

At this, the father said helplessly, “It’s tough. All the doctors say David has congenital sexual dysfunction. Even an organ transplant wouldn’t help. Sigh, honestly, if he was just a bit of a wastrel, that’d be nothing. What I’m really afraid of is that our branch will have no descendants. My brothers are always eyeing our assets, and all these years you haven’t been able to get pregnant again. Every family has its own troubles, sigh.”

“Yes, there’s really nothing I can do about this either.”

The two fell silent for a while, when suddenly a servant came to report, “Master, Madam, Young Master David has arrived at the Deborah Casino and is now heading to the Ye Lai Xiang Nightclub.”

The father chuckled and said, “That little rascal, he really dares to mess around. You may go, just make sure to keep David safe.”

“Yes, sir.”

David Hamilton’s mother pursed her lips in a smile and said, “I wonder how he plans to squander money today. He’s so carefree, he has no idea how much we as parents are worrying right now.”

Chapter 0006: The Feeling of Being a Tycoon

How much parents worry, David Hamilton naturally had no idea. All he knew was that he himself was worried right now—squandering 230,000 yuan in two hours. Given the purchasing power in this world, it was truly a daunting challenge, because after all his roundabout conversations with Grace Carter, he’d roughly calculated one fact: the purchasing power of the RMB here was about five times that of Earth.

In other words, 230,000 yuan here would be equivalent to over a million on Earth.

To spend it all in two hours—such a task would take a miracle for David Hamilton to accomplish.

But no matter what, for the sake of his little buddy, he had to squander the family fortune, and the money had to be spent.

“You really plan to go to Ye Lai Xiang to squander money?” In the short five-minute drive, Grace Carter had asked this question six times: “Have you figured out how you’re going to do it? Don’t tell me you’re just going to order the most expensive wine and the best… girls!”

“That’s why I say your vision isn’t broad enough,” David Hamilton leaned back in the car’s rear seat, crossing his legs smugly. “There are many ways to squander money. I’ve chosen the simplest and most effective one, hehe.”

“You wastrel, I can’t be bothered with you!” Grace Carter huffed angrily and turned her head away.

“Young Master, we’ve arrived.” The driver parked the car, got out first, and courteously opened the door for David Hamilton: “Young Master, please get out.”

“Mm, not bad.” David Hamilton stood at the entrance of Ye Lai Xiang, looking at the brightly lit doors of the nightclub, nodding in satisfaction. “Now this is more like it. I played so much stud poker earlier, and not only didn’t squander money, I even won over a hundred thousand. That was no fun at all.” With that, he snapped his fingers. “Come on, let’s splurge and squander to our hearts’ content! Tonight, I’m booking the whole place!” Booking out a venue—this was something the original owner of David Hamilton’s body had done plenty of times, so there’d be no problem doing it again!

“Book… book… book the whole place?!” Grace Carter felt like she’d never been so on edge in her life as she had today. This wastrel David Hamilton was going to book out the whole place?

“Of course I’m booking it out! How else can I squander money?” David Hamilton grinned as he strode straight into the doors of Ye Lai Xiang Nightclub. “Everyone, perk up! Time to welcome the guests!”

The two security guards at the entrance exchanged glances. From a distance, they’d seen David Hamilton get out of a super-luxury stretch limo, so naturally they didn’t dare be careless. They asked politely, “Sir, may I ask…”

After asking, the two guards curiously glanced at David Hamilton’s companion, Grace Carter, and the burly, sunglasses-wearing bodyguard-driver behind them, secretly wiping cold sweat from their brows: “Whose young master is this, so arrogant? Only seventeen or eighteen and already bringing a girl to a nightclub? Just now he said something about squandering money—could he be that legendary… super wastrel from the The Hamilton Family?!”

Thinking of this, the two guards didn’t dare hesitate. One led David Hamilton’s group inside, while the other rushed off to report to the nightclub boss: “Boss, something’s up! No, it’s great! It’s fantastic!”

That security guard practically howled all the way up the stairs, and the moment he burst into the boss’s office, he was kicked right back out: “What’s gotten into you? What’s all this ‘something’s up, it’s great’ nonsense? Speak clearly!”
