"Don’t hold back. This needs to hit the news." Uriel’s deputy manager shouted to rally his men as he fought.

The newly arrived reinforcements quickly joined the fray, smashing Keith’s formation from the flank and raining blows down with their tools.

……

At the same time.

The two major grain and wholesale food markets in Novara’s South Curtain District simultaneously announced a one-week shutdown.

At the warehouse gate stood a man around five foot seven, neatly combed side-part hair, sharp tailor

    Apartment in downtown Raven City. Samuel, Fourth Uncle of the Rizzo family, finished his shower and walked slowly back to the living room.A knock echoed at the door.“Door’s unlocked, come in,” Samuel called out while drying his wet hair.A young man stepped inside and lowered his voice to report. “Mr. Samuel, Ryan from Nanhu called. He’s asking why he can’t reach Felix.”“No need to reply to him,” Samuel lit a cigarette.“If we ignore him, our partnership with him —” the young man cautioned carefully.“He’s short on supply. He’ll come begging for product eventually, so the damage won’t be too bad,” Samuel frowned and waved him off.The young man went on to ask. “What about Felix, Reese and the others? Their bodies have been transported back.”“What else can we do? Find a reliable crematorium and cremate them,” Samuel snapped irritably. “Do I need to be bothered with trivial stuff like this? Are you deliberately trying to rattle me?”Kane brought along Chameng and Hartley, picked up

    Inside the headquarters meeting room.Samuel gave the Third Uncle beside him a faint smile. “Let me tell you, this partnership benefits us in every way. Even if we fully develop Raven City, the market ceiling is fixed.”The Third Uncle lowered his voice. “That may be true, but you moved far too fast and completely overlooked Sila.”“The Novara sector falls under her jurisdiction. Going straight to the patriarch to negotiate and cutting her out shows her no respect at all.”Samuel chuckled. “Sila is still too young and short-sighted to see the long-term opportunity.” “Bringing her in will only complicate everything.”“I still think you acted too hastily ——”A phone rang abruptly.As they talked, Samuel glanced at the caller ID and picked up at once. “Hello? I’m in a meeting. Say that again? Who’s dead?”Everyone in the room turned their heads toward him.Samuel shot to his feet, slammed the phone hard onto the table, planted his hands on his hips, swept the room with murderous eyes, an

    “From what I can tell, there’s almost no reversing this partnership,” the young man added. “Fourth Uncle is dead-set on forging an alliance with the Novara side.”Sila turned, picked up her phone from the table, and dialed her father’s number.Three busy tones rang out before the call was cut off outright.“Boss, he didn’t pick up?” the young man asked.Sila’s expression darkened. She sighed quietly. “The old man is starting to waver too.”Ding-dong.A text notification popped up on her phone.Sila glanced down, froze for a few seconds, then fired off a quick reply.……A private club in Novara.The Young Master twisted the watch on his wrist and answered the call with a blank face. “Uncle, how’s the progress?”“We can supply everything they want,” Felix replied with a smile. “The letter of intent for the partnership is basically settled. Samuel Rizzo’s top lieutenant is with me right now. We’ve been told to head straight to Rizzo family headquarters for the meeting tonight.”“Excellen

    “We need to kick off talks with the research team right now. Once the deal is sealed, our company will sign the contracts, with a minimum three-year employment term.” Samuel laid out his second demand.Felix fell into thought for a moment. “These researchers have plenty of reservations. I can’t guarantee we’ll lock them down immediately, but I will push it as hard as I can. If you’re uneasy, you may join the meetings. After all, this talent pool is being recruited for you.”“Then there’s the supporting equipment. Ship it to Raven City as soon as possible and get it installed in our factory buildings.” Samuel went on. “Only when the equipment arrives will the clan see your sincerity.”Felix pressed his lips together and frowned slightly. “I will do my best to arrange it, aiming to have the equipment shipped over from District Six within half a month.”……Rizzo family manor.Sila sat in her car, phone in hand, speaking to Kane. “It’s true. That young master from Novara has sent men to a

    “What are you doing standing at the door?”“I came to check on Mom. No one’s home.” Carlson replied casually.“Isn’t today your mother’s birthday? Didn’t you go out for dinner with them?” The old man asked in confusion.Carlson froze. “They went out for dinner?”“Yeah. Your stepfather stopped by my place at dusk and invited me to that small restaurant on North Street. I had family matters, so I didn’t go.” The old man pushed open his courtyard gate. “Wait, didn’t they call you?”Carlson stood stunned for two or three seconds, forcing a weak smile. “My phone died while I was grocery shopping. I never got the call.”“Come visit sometime!”“Sure.”“Work hard and make something of yourself. Don’t waste your life anymore.” The old man offered a kind reminder before turning and walking into his yard.Carlson remained motionless beside his tricycle. After a moment, he tossed the cake into a roadside trash bin, climbed onto the tricycle silently, and rode out into the frigid night wind.The r

    "I’ve looked into it beforehand. That young woman who got hurt was originally the bride-to-be in your nephew’s engagement." Felix kept his hands behind his back and went on. "This kind of marriage alliance is essentially a commercial alliance. Both sides are in it for profit. So this conflict is not irreconcilable. Resolving interest with interest is the optimal choice."Mr. Rizzo let out a cold laugh. "Am I supposed to believe you just from this pie-in-the-sky pitch?""The initial payment will be two million — no, five million US dollars." Felix paused to reconsider and revised his offer. "I’ll use a shell company to make an equity investment, taking a nominal ten percent stake. Five million will be wired to your account in one lump sum. Mr. Rizzo, is this sincerity enough?"Mr. Rizzo was stunned."The Third Young Master has a friend whose father runs the Novara branch bank in Zone 7 and whose mother sits on an investment banking council. Money is no problem for us." Felix lowered hi
