Chapter 238 Pressures From All Sides
Mercerlen lifted his gaze. “I’m going after him. Uriel is the critical node. If I bring him to heel, the rest of the factions planning to partner with Kane will grow wary, and the profit defense Kane built will crumble on its own. Conversely, if I can’t even take down Uriel, others will decide we lack teeth. They’ll feel safe teaming up with Kane to line their pockets, convinced we won’t dare strike.”“Sound logic,” Theodore nodded in agreement.“I need to rattle him.”“How?” Theodore asked softly. “Got a plan?”“Strike at what he values most.” Mercerlen stood up. “I’ll open the connections and deliver the message.”“Then move,” Theodore readily agreed. “He’s nothing more than a small-time operator with a little cash. Reining him in won’t be hard.”“I’ve got a lunch meeting with a few contacts at noon. Come with me?” Mercerlen extended the invitation.“Gladly. Mercerlen, I can also hook you up with a few high-profile figures,” Theodore smiled and flattered him.Mercerlen’s mood bright
Chapter 237 Chaos in the Factions Part 2
“Merceron, Pierce has been acting strange lately.” The young man on the other end of the line spoke in a low voice. “He’s reaching out to local bosses across every district, openly recruiting new partners. Matsui from South Curtain is nearly locked in, and Uriah from Flatlands District plans to join in too.”Merceron’s brows snapped tight, and he cursed under his breath. “A bunch of blind fools! Do they even know who controls this territory?”“Should we notify the Third Young Master at once?”Just then, Theodore strolled slowly into the entertainment complex, glancing down nonstop at his messages, his expression calm and unruffled.……Theodore pushed open the private room door and saw Merceron slamming his phone down, his face clouded with murderous rage.Once he finished the call, Theodore raised an eyebrow. “Who got under your skin? You’re burning hot.”“Everything’s going south.” Merceron replied darkly. “The Third Young Master and his father left for a meeting in Vierra only a few
Chapter 236 Turbulent Situation
"I’ll handle Sila." Kane’s tone brooked no argument. "Your only job is to recruit forces aggressively. Target all the local kingpins in Pingdao District, South Curtain District, and Kaiyuan District who covet profits from this trade. We supply the goods and oversee transportation; they only need to distribute and convert the product for easy, low-risk gains.""This kind of cooperation deal will definitely draw in a flood of factions." Jolon nodded in agreement."Once interests are tied together, everyone will defend the operation on their own." Kane’s eyes sharpened, jaw tight. "Then we won’t need to lead the resistance. If the Third Young Master dares to touch this supply line, he’ll be cutting into everyone’s profits. Others will fight him to the death of their own accord.""Banding together purely through shared interests can ease our immediate crisis," Cruz reasoned clearly, then pointed out the hidden danger. "But this alliance is far too loose. Over time, loyalties will fray, an

Cruz paused to recall for a moment before answering. "Lacey left Kennard’s son critically injured. Word is the boy’s in a vegetative state.""Was Kennard the mastermind?" Kane pressed on.Cruz instantly caught what Kane was getting at."The Young Master gave the order to assassinate Thaddeus." Kane swallowed a mouthful of noodles and wiped his mouth. "Yet Thaddeus only retaliated against Kennard’s son. With blood feud right in front of him, Thaddeus merely issued a warning and never struck directly at the Young Master. That tells us even Thaddeus fears this heir."Silence fell across the conference room."If we held enough bargaining chips to fight back, Thaddeus might choose to join our side. But right now our public hand is weak, and he will simply stand by and watch. Even if we fall, he still has Wade, and can keep getting supplies at a low price." Kane took a sip of water and shook his head. "We can’t count on him to save us.""Kane, I don’t believe Ash told us the whole truth," J
Chapter 234 Running Away From Home
"There he is! Ask him and see if I’m lying!" A woman in her forties pointed straight at Carlson and shouted."Ask me what?" Carlson’s face was full of confusion.His stepfather stared coldly at him and ground out the question. "Did you steal her electric bike?""What?" Carlson froze. "Steal what?""Don’t play dumb. You’re the one who did it!" The woman pointed at Carlson, her tone unshakable."I have no idea what you’re talking about." Carlson was utterly baffled, having no clue where the accusation came from.His mother looked anxious and asked. "Carlson, the neighbor says you stole the electric bike from their yard. Did you do it?"Carlson fell quiet for a moment, then frowned and shot back. "Who started this rumor? I didn’t even know they had an electric bike. What makes them say I stole it?""Quit making excuses!" A male neighbor who had been leaning against the wall with crossed arms spoke up to refute him. "You hung around my gate for ages last night."Carlson stiffened where he
Chapter 233 Breaking the Deadlock
"Two reasons." Ash spoke plainly, her logic crisp. "First, he is far too hasty and greedy. He tries to accomplish in three years what takes others a decade to build. His foundation is hollow, and collapse is only a matter of time. Second, every penny he spends greasing contacts and building factories to expand operations is siphoned straight out of my company.""He is betting on short-term political opportunism, banking on a meteoric rise within a single term of office." There was sharp clarity in Ash’s eyes. "But I run a corporation and hold major shares. I must plan for the business’s survival five, ten, twenty years down the line. I will not recklessly gamble everything on this twisted power play."Kane fully grasped the conspiracy and the entire power game. At that moment, one unshakable thought settled in his mind. He and the Young Master were locked in a fight to the death. No room remained for compromise or truce. One of them would fall, permanently.Ash turned to face Kane, he
