Chapter 120 Spending 100 Million on Wine
After dawn, Osborne prepared to head over to the Radcliffe Manor for work
His primary focus now was to complete the Godfather’s heir test as swiftly as possible. That was to secure the position of Clarissa’s head. bodyguard.
His time spent with Barlyn the previous day had given him some insight into Barlyn
Osborne had also devised a clear plan now.
Dealing with Barlyn required a different approach than with Paul. Unlike Paul, Barlyn wasn’t a spy, and they were, in fact, friends now
To become the head bodyguard, Osborne needed Barlyn to resign voluntarily.
The primary reason Barlyn took the bodyguard job was financial; Donna had canceled his credit cards and controlled his finances.
The previous day, Osborne had taken Barlyn to earn some money, hoping to alleviate his financial concerns.
With money in hand, Barlyn might consider quitting
But simply having cash wasn’t enough. Osborne planned to make Barlyn experience the harsh realities and challenges of being a bodyguard.
Only by doing so would Barlyn be motivated to resign sooner.
Today, Osborne was ready to put his plan into action.
“That guy’s a wine aficionado, especially when it comes to high–end reds Today, I’m going to show him what real top–shelf wine tastes like!”
Osborne smirked, opening the Draco Star Wristlet’s shopping mall.
Inside, the mall offered an array of items, including weapons, explosives, luxury cars, and high–end watches, as well as cigars and fine
wines
Osborne navigated to the wine section, where a dazzling selection of prestigious bottles awaited.
Although he wasn’t a wine expert, he knew that price didn’t lie.
The higher the price, the better the wine. He zeroed in on the three most expensive red wines available.
The third most expensive was Glacium Beauty, a top–tier red wine produced by the Draco Group’s own vineyard. Its annual production was extremely limited, reserved only for the Draco Group’s high–ranking members
Even the elite of the elite, or members of ancient families, would be hard–pressed to taste it.
But the price was steep
“Six million dollars a bottle!”
Osborne was shocked before checking the second most expensive option.
This was Systin, a wine produced by the ancient Systin family, renowned for their winemaking expertise. For over a thousand years, six out of the top ten winemakers on this planet had hailed from the Systin family. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Systin wine was highly coveted, a luxury only nobles could afford.
However, the Systin family had perished in a disaster decades ago, and the remaining bottles of Systin wine had become exceedingly

Even top auction houses had struggled to find them.
Black market prices soared into the tens of millions without any seller showing up.
In the mall, a bottle of Systin was priced at 10 million.
Osborne shook his head and turned to the most expensive wine
The price took his breath away–50 million.
It had a peculiar name
“Noble Blue!
“No description? Just a name? What makes it worth fifty million?””
Oshore frowned.
“Forget it. You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs! I’m going all in to pass this test!”
With a determined grimace, Osborne placed his order
He bought a bottle of Noble Blue, two bottles of Systin, and five bottles of Glacium Beauty, spending a total of 100 million.
Soon after, the wines were delivered.
Osborne stashed the wine in the trunk before driving over to the Radcliffe Manor.
By then, Clarissa had finished breakfast and was taking a leisurely stroll through the estate.
Donna, Barlyn, and Bodyguard Unit Four were hanging out not too far off.
“Bro, I’m over here!” Barlyn called out, spotting Osborne from a distance and waving enthusiastically, his face lit up with a wide grin.
The surprise was palpable among Sharon and the members of Bodyguard Unit Four.
They exchanged puzzled looks, wondering, “Why is the new head of security so chummy with Osborne?
What’s going on here?”
Clarissa and Donna also glanced over at Earlyn, their faces reflecting their shock
“Barlyn, what did you just call him?” Donna asked, furrowing her brow
Barlyn shrugged casually. “What’s the big deal? Osborne and I go way back. We’re brothers through thick and thin. He’s a year older than me, so I call him ‘bro‘. Is that so strange?
Donna
a was taken aback.
She thought, “Brothers through thick and thin?
Barlyn’s been in Mayby City for barely a day. What on earth did Osborne do to make Barlyn behave like this?
My son might seem like a playboy on the surface, but he’s really quite proud and selective.
It’s rare for luum to take a hiking to anyone.”

Clarissa, equally stunned, kept shifting her gaze between Barlyn and Osborne.
Osborne greeted Clarissa and Donna with a warm smile before heading over to Barlyn’s side.
Barlyn leaned in and said quietly, “Let’s go, Osborne. Time for more drinks!”
Osborne’s eyes lit up with interest.
3/3
He thought to himself, “I was just figuring out how to get Barlyn to hit the bottle with me. Since you’ve come to me first, I can’t be blamed here.
Next up, I’ll let you experience a bit of the harsh realities of society!”
