Chapter 286: A Generous Offer
Sanderson nodded and said, I’ve come to Pras City for two main reasons. First, the Hand family has run into some trouble—surely all of you are aware of this?No one responded, but their awkward expressions said it all.Sanderson knew well that his second son’s incident had dealt a severe blow to the Hand family’s dignity, making them the laughingstock in countless people’s eyes. Yet the more this happened, the more eager he was to track down the culprit who had ruined his son.With a cold expression, he continued, The first matter is asking all of you to help me find the person who framed my second son. I’m not very familiar with the situation in Pras City, so I’ll rely heavily on all of you. Tell your subordinates to keep a close eye out. If there’s any information related to this, notify me promptly. The Hand family will reward you generously—I personally guarantee the reward will be no less than 20 million dollars!Twenty million dollars, just for a lead—it was clear the Hand famil
Chapter 285: Taking Sides
In fact, everyone had thought it through clearly and even discussed it privately. Their idea was to give the Hand family face and be polite, but deep down, they still hoped to follow Master Allen wholeheartedly.As for the others, they all came to cling to the Hand family’s influence. After all, the Hand family was the most powerful family in Peffers City. To many small and medium-sized families, it was like a towering tree covered with all kinds of fruits—every monkey hoped to cling to this tree.So, when they saw the father and son from the Hand family enter the Diamond Box, the members of the other families stood up to greet them almost instantly.Among them, the head of the Melford family took the lead in flattering, Mr. Sanderson, you are truly imposing and dignified! Master Lewis is also a man of striking appearance. No wonder you are the first family of Peffers City—your presence is truly unparalleled!The head of the Lefebvre family also nodded repeatedly and echoed, Indeed! I
Chapter 284: The Purpose
Upon hearing this, Lewis let out a gasp and blurted out, Mogos actually used a knife to carve words into Gallo's son's forehead?Yes, Sanderson smiled faintly and said, I reckon Gallo and his son dream of killing Mogos and eating his flesh!Lewis couldn't help but ask, Dad, since you know Gallo and Mogos are enemies, why did you still invite Gallo to the banquet?Sanderson chuckled, Don't you think Gallo is a perfect pawn to use? A dog that wants to bite but dares not open its mouth—what it lacks most is a master who can back it up, letting it feel safe to bite without hesitation.Lewis said, Dad, if you want to subdue and use Gallo, why set the dinner at Arc de Triomphe Western Restaurant? He and Mogos are mortal enemies—won't that make things extremely difficult?Sanderson looked at Lewis with deep, piercing eyes and said, Both Gallo and Mogos are dogs. The only difference is that Gallo is a stray dog with no owner, while Mogos is the Green family's dog.Lewis nodded and asked, Then
Chapter 283: Feasting the Great Families
The Hand family’s base is in Peffers City, so they wield extraordinary control over the area around Peffers City. However, Pras City is the stronghold of the Green family, so the Hand family’s influence in Pras City is far inferior to that of the Green family.Originally, each of the major families in Peffers City had their own spheres of influence, and everyone maintained this tacit understanding, respecting one another. No one would expand their power into another’s territory.Sanderson had no intention of in Pras City initially, but the key issue is that his eldest son, Lewis, now wants to marry Lucia from the Green family. To achieve this goal, Lewis will need to stay in Pras City for a long time in the future. Therefore, Sanderson plans to first with these families in Pras City, which can also bring sufficient convenience to Lewis in Pras City in the future.Lewis has been feeling somewhat irritable these past two days. Firstly, when Sanderson mentioned the marriage alliance to t
Chapter 282: Pretending to Be Talented
Jared was shaking with anger at Gilmore’s words! He had occasionally seen memes like Auntie, I don’t want to work hard anymore on various headline news feeds on his phone.Back then, he’d even had a crooked thought: if he ever got rich in the future, and a young, beautiful girl came to him saying, Uncle, I don’t want to work hard anymore, he could just send her his address and tell her to come directly to him...Of course, this was just a fantasy in his head. He’d never had the courage or the ability to turn it into reality.But now, hearing Gilmore talk about his wife like that, for some reason, the mental image became vividly clear!He even imagined a scene where a young man was sitting in his wife’s arms, obsequiously calling her auntie...For a moment, Jared felt as if countless green hats were weighing down on his head, and his heart burned with rage.In that instant, consumed by urgency and anger, he gritted his teeth and cursed: Gilmore, who do you think you are to mock my wife
Chapter 281: Coming to the Door
After speaking, Alan moved to close the door.At that moment, Gilmore heard the commotion and ran over. Seeing the two at the door, he couldn’t help but frown and asked, What are you doing here?Old Mrs. Mir let out a cold snort and questioned with full authority, Gilmore! Do you still have any respect for me as your mother in your eyes?Gilmore froze, then said, It was you who wanted to cut off relations with me. You should ask yourself if you have any regard for me as your son.Old Mrs. Mir’s expression turned ugly, and she blurted out, Blood is thicker than water! No matter when, I am your mother!Having endured his mother’s grievances for so many years, Gilmore had finally had enough. He said angrily, When you got tired of me, you wanted to cut off relations. But when you need something from me, suddenly you’re my mother again? I’m sorry, but I don’t want a mother like that!With that, Gilmore turned around and walked back into the house.Alan looked at Old Mrs. Mir and Jared, smi
