Chapter 275 Dn forced an awkwardugh and ducked his head sheepishly.
I was just kidding, Mr.
Lloyd.
Please dont be angry.
He had no doubt about Andrews influence
With one word, this man could actually have him performing stand upedy for the rest of his life. The SUV pulled up in front of a towering building in Jayrodales West End district.
Mr.
Lloyd, this is Madam Vostokoffs headquarters the main base of West Ends underground operations, Dn exined while opening the door for Andrew.
Impressive ... Andrew nodded after taking in the sight.
At that moment, an alluring woman wearing a veil and dark smoky eye makeup approached them, surrounded by several imposing bodyguards.
Mr.
Garner, youve finally arrived.
Pleasee in.
Mr.
Giordano and Mr.
Moore are getting impatient, she said with a smile, her eyes deliberately lingering on Andrew, Mr.
Lloyd, this is Natasha Vostokoff, the leader of Jayrodales West End, Dn introduced.
Before he could introduce Andrew, Natasha cut in with a flirtatiousugh.
She purred, Theres no need for introductions, Mr.
Garner.
Ive heard all about this handsome young man.
She continued, Word is that on the day the new Weller family head took power, he held his own against their veteran enforcer in a fight.
Impressive indeed, given his young age ! She batted her eyes at Andrew seductively as she spoke. While Natasha was indeed an attractive older woman who had maintained her allure, Andrew merely smiled politely at her advances.
He noted how well informed she was about his encounter with the Weller familys enforcer despite never meeting him clearly, there was a sharp mind behind that sensual exterior.
Knowing Andrews usual indifference to women, Dn cleared his throat and said, Madam Vostokoff, since Mr.
Giordano is already here, lets get down to business
Natasha giggled charmingly.
Of course! Though I hear theres some bad blood between Mr.
Lloyd and Mr.
Moore.
Mr.
Garner, are you sure its wise to bring him? Dn snapped, Where Mr.
Lloyd goes, I go.
If he leaves, I leave.
If Mr.
Giordano isnt serious about negotiating, we can end this now.
Now, now, Mr.
Garner, we all agreed that each party could bring their own backup, Natasha quickly assured him.
He added, Though bringing Mr.
Lloyd seems a bit... inadequate? You know Mr.
Moores got 1/2 Chapter 275 Hidden Dragons behind him.
Hidden Dragons means nothing Mr.
Moore is worthlesspared to Mr.
Lloyd, Dn scoffed.
Natasha shook her head slightly, reflecting on Dns typical brashness andck of political finesse
With As bringing someone as powerful as Finley to the meeting, she could not understand why Dn would only bring this young man as backup, let alone dismiss Finley so brazenly.
She could already predict that South City would likely lose this negotiation she could not fathom what Dn was thinking by relying on Andrew.
Chapter 276 Chapter 276 As and Finley were already seated in the massive conference
room.
When Natasha entered with her signature sultry walk, Finleys eyes lit up with desire, but As quickly shot him a warning nce.
As was well aware of Natashas reputation in Jayrodales underground circles, and he worried Finleys wandering eye mightpromise their position.
Thank you for your patience, Mr.
Giordano and Mr.
Moore, Natasha said with a smile.
Mr.
Garner and South Citys representative have arrived, so we can begin.
What capable fighter could South City possibly have besides Dn ? Finley scoffed.
Theyre all trash in my eyes.
Pretty big talk from you, Mr.
Moore
Better be careful not to bite your tongue, Dns voice sounded from the doorway as he and Andrew entered the room
Initially, both Finley and As wore looks of contempt, feeling confident in their position against Dn. However, when they saw Andrew beside him, their expressions quickly changed.
So this is who Dn brought, As said through gritted teeth, his eyes narrowing.
Andrew, this meeting is between Jayrodales three underground powers.
What business do you have here ? Finley demanded coldly.
Andrew casually took a seat and replied coolly, Who said outsiders cant participate in this ? Youre an
outsider too, so what are you doing here? Dont twist things around, Finley snapped.
Mr.
Giordano invited me, and Im now officially Northern Districts honored guest.
Thats right.
Mr.
Moore is now considered one of us in Northern District, As added.
Tonight, Mr.
Lloyd speaks for South City, Dn dered firmly.
If you want to talk, lets talk.
If not, we can settle this another way.
As and Finleys faces darkened at these words.
They could have easily manipted Dn alone, but Andrew was a different story.
After all, they still remembered clearly how back at the Weller residence, Andrew had not only beaten up
Michael but had also dared to face off against the Weller familys top enforcers.
Despite his refined appearance, they knew he was dangerous.
Gentlemen, lets all calm down, Natasha intervened smoothly.
Weve barely started talking
This rare gathering of us three should focus on resolving our differences.
She nced curiously at Andrew, wondering why his mere presence had agitated As and Finley so much.
1/2 Chapter 276 For your sake, well continue, As grunted.
But Northern Districts position remains firm.
As long as Madam Vostokoff stays out of it, Mr.
Giordano and I can easily crush South City, Finley boasted
Then Jayrodales underworld can be split between Northern District and West End
A win win situation, wouldnt you say? Natashas eyes flickered with interest as she considered the proposal
With the three underground powers currently at a stalemate and Northern District and South City wearing
each other down, her untouched West End territory stood to gain from their conflict.
Dont listen to their empty promises, Madam Vostokoff, Dn quickly interjected.
