It was ude’s first time dealing with Zachariah, and he was caught a little off guard when Zachariah


    saw through his intentions. There was clearly more than meets the eye to Zachariah’s rise to power.


    ude smiled. “Haha, you’re right! We’re afraid, but I believe that you’re just as afraid as we are. I’ll


    just get to the point then. I hope that Brookbourn Mansion will lend us a helping hand if Draco Hall


    somehow decides to attack us, and we’ll help as well if they target Brookbourn Mansion. How does that


    sound?”


    Zachariah pondered over that proposal and said, “I trust that they won’t act recklessly. After all, I know


    that Draco Hall only took over the Cedar Gang because they had no choice. Furthermore, we from


    Brookbourn Mansion would rather not make any deals with underground forces.”


    “Haha, are you sure about that? If my Emerald Cloud Gang disappears suddenly one day, Brookbourn


    Mansion will be the next target. Though councils simr to Brookbourn Mansion in other cities.


    might be the sole strongest force there, yours isn’t the sole force here in Brookbourn. The gap between


    Draco Hall and Brookbourn Mansion isn’t that big, after all!”


    udeughed, stood up, then took out a business card and ced it on the table. “Here’s my


    business card. My phone number is on there, so feel free to call me if the need arises. We can put


    everything else aside for now if you like, and you can treat this as making a new friend!” ude ended


    his sentence and turned around to leave with his men..


    After walking out, one of the old men who was behind ude asked, “What’s the deal with Zachariah


    Isn’t he afraid of Draco Hall’s rise? He doesn’t seem interested to make a deal with us!”


    ude smiled. “Oh, he’s afraid all right. He just doesn’t want to show it. He didn’t refuse my business


    card or instruct me to take it back when I ced it on the table, which means we might still have the


    opportunity to work together with him. Maybe he’ll even consider making a preemptive strike toward


    Draco Hall!”


    The old man listened to ude’s views and thought for a moment before nodding. “You’re right. My


    guess is that he wants to observe Draco Hall’s movements first. If Draco Hall gets ambitious and


    decides to target them, they might be the ones who will take the initiative to go against us. However, if


    Draco Hall doesn’t try to rock the boat, then there might not be any movement at Brookbourn Mansion


    either!”


    ude sighed heavily. “I hope Draco Hall doesn’te after us. I’ve already given out the order to


    everyone within the gang to avoid offending Draco Hall so they won’t have any reason toe for us!*


    “Yes. And the lower-level guys have been behaving themselves quite well recently!”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    The old man nodded, looked at Hugo to one side, and could not help but say, “I heard that your sworn


    brother, Hugh, was beaten up and had his manhood destroyed. How is he now? Did you help him take


    revenge?”


    Hugo smiled bitterly and said, “Not yet. That kid is very strong, and I’m no match for him on my own.


    I’m nning to bring a few more people with me, so I can teach him a good lesson!”


    ude frowned, and then said, “Does that person have a strong background? Where did he get the


    balls to do go up against someone from our gang? Find out who he is, and make sure he doesn’t have


    any sort of association with Draco Hall!”


    “Hehe, that kid’s a nobody. He just came out of prison not too long ago, and he’s just the cousin of one


    of our former debtors, Queenie. Don’t worry, sir. I can handle this. Our other protector, Brad Lend,


    has also said that he’lle with me when it’s time,” Hugo said with a smile.


    “Brad is stronger than you. Everything will be fine if he goes with you.” ude nodded, and they all


    drove
