Chapter 509 The Wild Ambition of the Grant Family


    "Ah!"


    Kate gasped and copsed to the floor.


    She swore, even when Leo was grabbing her by the throat or her life was in danger, she wasn’t so


    appalled like this.


    At this moment, she found the scene before her eyes unreal, because it was against Newton''s firstw.


    How could someone hang upside down from the roof?


    "Who… Who are you?" Kate forced herself to ask in a calm voice, but she found it hard to do so. No


    matter how smart she was, she was eventually a fragile girl. When in terror, she could hardly stand on


    her feet.


    Swoosh!


    The man flipped over and jumped into the room.


    Lying prone on the floor, Kate gathered the bathrobe around her.


    She was not afraid of death, but what was happening was worse than death.


    But fortunately, the man didn’t vite her. He didn’t even show any interest in sex.


    Kate heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that.


    The man walked to the sofa, sat down and poured a ss of wine for himself.


    Kate also took advantage of this opportunity and put on a conservative blouse before she pretended to


    be calm and sat down across from the man, saying coolly, "I won’t call the police. Tell me who you are


    and why you broke into my room!"


    Kate was most curious about these two things. If the man came to kill her, she could never get away.


    The man didn’t answer Kate’s questions, but drank the whole bottle of wine before sizing her up.


    Kate just let him watch her.


    Wherever the man’s gaze fell upon, she had an itchy sensation there.

    Finally, the man looked away and said in a hoarse voice, "You may call me ''Hunter''."


    "Hunter?" Kate asked in surprise, her pupils contracting.


    She had heard of this name from Leo.


    Five years ago, Hunter had filmed everything Leo and Lydia did in the warehouse, and set many traps


    secretly for them. Even Kate was took advantage of by him.


    "So you are Hunter?"


    Kate sized the man up. In his hood was a frightening iron mask, which covered his face.


    Since Kate was unable to identify the man, she could only ask him bluntly instead of sounding him out.


    "Five years ago, you sent your men to kidnap Leo and framed me with it, didn’t you?" Kate questioned


    grimly.


    Even if she knew Hunter was strong, Kate still felt angry about being used. In her world, she could take


    advantage of others, while few people could take advantage of her!


    Unexpectedly, Hunter shook his head.


    "No. I guess you’re talking about thest ''Hunter''. ''Hunter'' is just a code," Hunter said in a smiling


    voice.


    Astonished, Kate continued asking, "Why do youe to me?"


    Hunter said faintly, "To work with you."


    "What is it exactly?" Kate asked cautiously.


    Hunter rose to his feet. "Someone wille to talk with you over it in a while. You only have to promise


    me one thing…"


    Hunter drew closer to Kate and whispered something in her ear.


    Kate was thrown into a panic upon hearing that and stepped back in fear.


    "No way! I can’t promise you that!" Kate clenched her teeth and replied agitatedly.


    As if he had known Kate would refuse him, Hunter didn’t get angry but said slowly, "You are an


    ambitious schemer. It shouldn’t be hard for you to figure out that the old man with you is doing more


    than keeping you safe. In fact, Norah sent him to watch you."


    "So what?" Kate growled through gritted teeth.


    Hunter replied faintly, "I can help you get rid of him."


    "Don’t bother," Kate refused coldly.


    "You will agree. As for our cooperation, let’s talk about it when you agree. This is my number. Call me


    when you’ve made up your mind."


    After that, Hunter opened the window and jumped out of the room.


    Kate rushed to the window to see what was going on outside, only to see the busy street. The vehicles


    and people appeared so tiny when she looked down from up above, but Hunter was nowhere to be


    seen.


    Kate slumped to the floor again.


    She could faintly tell that she had been sucked down by a whirlpool.


    From five years ago.


    …


    Meanwhile, Leo didn’t know what had happened to the Hopkins Budo Association or to Kate.


    At this moment, he got two pieces of news.


    Besides the Spencer family, the Henderson family, the Brooks family and the Newman family had all


    arrived at Hopkins.


    Karl came as the representative of his family, while Olly came together with Angus and Reece.


    "Olly… And Karl…" Leo kept mumbling to himself, his lips curving into a slight smile.


    He looked forward to meeting Karl, as well as Angus. But he didn’t forget about Olly, because Music


    Maestro had something to do with him.


    Leo’s thoughts were interrupted by the shrilling ring of his phone.


    It was actually from Justin.


    "What’s going on with Emerdale?" Leo asked.


    Justin replied, "Everything’s fine, but just as you expected, the Grant family came for cooperation."


    "Really?" Leo gave a faint smile upon hearing that. "And then?"


    "The Stewart family, the Simpson family, the Spencer family and the Perry family all doubled their offer.


    Ms. Henderson asked for a high cooperation fee from the Grant family and agreed to work with them


    after they pay for it, and they’ll split the profits 80-20. The L Group gets 80, while the Grant family 20."


    Justinughed heartily and continued, "The Grant family has suffered a huge loss this time. How dare


    they plot against you? Who do they think they are?"


    Leo smiled and said, "Of course we have to give them a warm wee since they are so kind to offer


    us such arge sum of money. Let’s give them some petty favors."


    "Yes!"


    Justin hung up and went on with his business.


    Meanwhile, Leo leaned back in his chair with a confident smile.


    He had known about the wild ambition of the Grant family. They intended to take advantage of him and


    get to the top, but how would Leo fulfill their wish so easily?


    On the other hand, a sports car was racing on the expressway from Emerdale to Hopkins.


    Caleb called his grandfather Lennon as he drove.


    "Caleb, how’s the cooperation going in Emerdale?" Lennon sounded anxious on the phone.


    If they could take over the Emerdale market, it would enhance their strength in a short time.


    Caleb replied, smiling, "It went smooth. I told you. As long as we yield to Leo, we can get whatever we


    want. It’s just that it costs us a lot."


    Then Caleb told Lennon the losses he had suffered working with respective family.


    Lennon remained silent for a while before cursing, "That bitch Lydia, how dare she ask for such a huge


    amount of money! Those terms are nothing but harsh!"


    Caleb, however, didn’t care about it. "It’s OK. As long as we can work together, the Grant family will


    make money. The Northernd General Assembly will begin soon. Tell our masters outside home to


    Lennon nodded. "You’re right. When the Northernd General Assembly ends, the Grant family will


    rise. Hahaha…"
