Hanna was beaten by Flynn repeatedly, losing her sanity. She gritted her teeth and cursed, “You bastard! Not only did you hit me, but you also said Mr. Fletcher is your disciple. That alone is a capital offense! The Pearce family can’t even save you! Just wait for me!”
“If your head doesn’t roll in three days, I’ll hang you here myself!”
“You’re insolent!” Beckett roared angrily at Flynn, glaring at him. “No matter what nonsense you say behind closed doors, I hope you use your brain when speaking to me!”
Arrogant!
Loose-lipped!
Full of lies!
He dared to fabricate such lies just to discredit the Reeves family.
Compared to his daughter being slapped away by Flynn, his disobedience towards the Fletcher family was even more unforgivable.
“This little bastard must be insane,” someone said. “Just to provoke Beckett he spouts such arrogant words!”
“Beckett has already been so humble yet he still persists without giving an inch! Now he doesn’t even care about the Fletcher family!”
“If Beckett insists on taking action and using the power of the Fletcher family against him, then all that awaits him is death!”
The bodyguards thought that Flynn was too arrogant.
The Reeves family’s wealth amounted to billions and they were considered one of the top three wealthy families in Ipholn. They could shake things up with just a stomp of their foot and could easily destroy small businesses with just a word. Impressive right?
But in front of the Fletcher family, they were nothing but servants!
A junior member of the Fletcher family came to Niarak and even people like Beckett from Ipholn had come over quickly just to serve him from morning till night making sure that young master ate well and drank happily.
From this one detail alone, it was clear how big a gap there was between the Reeves family and the Fletcher family.
This guy actually said that the Fletcher family in his eyes was nothing but an ant?
Marcel rubbed his temples feeling like Flynn’s words were too exaggerated.
The focus for families like the Fletchers wasn’t on business anymore but rather politics as their decisions could determine Ostrad’s future for ten years or more, having incomparable power.
Marcel didn’t deny Flynn’s abilities but if anyone claimed that he had equal or greater influence than the Fletchers, then Marcel wouldn’t believe them!
“Nonsense? Then open your eyes wide,” sneered Flynn as he glanced coldly at Beckett before pulling out his phone and dialing Nathan’s number which rang twice before being answered.
“Master? Should I complete the information you requested? Why are you investigating that kind of trash woman?” Nathan’s voice came through the phone.
Flynn didn’t respond to that, and asked coldly, “Is the Reeves family a vassal of the Fletcher family?”
“Yes, Beckett even invited me to dinner tonight. The Reeves family is just a servant of my family. I don’t want to attend this kind of ass-kissing banquet. Master, why are you asking about this?”
“Beckett is with me. His son-in-law drugged and knocked out my friend, his daughter attacked my friend without reason and even scratched her face.”
“I want those two animals paralyzed from the waist down. Beckett is using his power in your family to suppress me, so I wanted to call and ask for your opinion on this matter.”
“What! That son-of-a-bitch Beckett!” Nathan almost dropped his phone when he heard this news.
“Master, don’t get angry yet. Let me find that old dog’s phone number first and ask him how he wants to die!”
The call ended.
Flynn looked at Beckett calmly and said, “Nathan will call you soon.”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence in the room before it erupted into laughter.
“This is hilarious! He actually staged a play over the phone by himself! There probably wasn’t anyone on other end!”
“Mr. Fletcher is such an esteemed personage; how could someone like him have his number? It’s all smoke and mirrors!”
The bodyguards saw Flynn’s serious expression but still laughed thinking he was acting.
Hanna crossed her arms with a cold smile, “Keep pretending if it makes you feel better; but know that your lies will only make things worse for the Pearce family!”
Beckett didn’t believe any of it either; laughing with wrinkles all over his face, “Mr. Fletcher goes for SPA every afternoon at this time without fail.”
“He won’t take any calls during that period except from his father; did he answer your call within three seconds?”
“Just based on that alone proves you’re trying to scare us!”
As soon as those words were spoken, Beckett’s own phone rang.
“Mr. Fletcher?” As soon as he took out his cell-phone, his smiling face froze up completely.
There was sudden silence in room again.
Beckett frowned at Flynn before answering.
He hadn’t even said anything when thunderous cursing came through on other end, “Beckett, you bastard! Did your daughter or son-in-law mess with Mr. Clark?”
“Do you know who he is? He’s Mr. Price’s master, and my master too! Grandmaster!”
“The Security Bureau still relies on him for help, and you dare to provoke him? Damn it!”
Boom!
Beckett’s brain exploded like lightning, leaving him standing there in shock. A chill ran from his feet to his head as he stared at Flynn with a look of horror.
The others present frowned when they saw Beckett’s expression.
“Mr. Fletcher, I… I don’t know… he…” Beckett stammered.
Nathan was furious and interrupted him. He wished he could jump through the phone and kill Beckett himself. “Is my master going to break your daughter-in-law’s spine? Do what he says!” Nathan shouted angrily.
“If you can’t satisfy him today, I’ll bankrupt you and destroy your family!”
Yesterday Nathan’s arrogance had caused Flynn to refuse killing the King of Poison. When the Fletcher family found out about this, they scolded him severely. Today Flynn had finally forgiven Nathan but now one of their affiliates had provoked him again! How could anyone not be angry about this?
Boom!
Beckett couldn’t control himself any longer and fell to his knees on the ground. His head was spinning with thunderous noise while cold sweat dripped down his body as he trembled uncontrollably.
“Mr. Fletcher,” Beckett begged desperately, “Hanna is my only daughter; please help me talk some sense into your master so that my son-in-law won’t have his spine broken.”
“My daughter is off-limits; absolutely not.”
What?!
Flynn really did call Nathan earlier! He really was Nathan’s master?! And now Nathan wanted Beckett’s son-in-law’s spine broken according to Flynn’s wishes?!
Boom boom boom!
Hanna and Wesley were almost scared out of their wits by what they heard next over the phone: an even angrier voice than before shouting at them from across the line, “You’ve caused me such trouble already with your family; do you think bargaining will work?”
“I’m telling you: even if my master kills me, my family wouldn’t dare come after him!”
“Do you think I can persuade him? Besides why should I bother helping clean up after your family who’s just a foster dog under my family?”
“As I said before: If you can’t satisfy my Master, then prepare yourselves for destruction!”
Nathan hung up furiously leaving everyone in stunned silence.
Beckett slumped completely on the ground, his whole being appearing soulless, with a grey shade in his eyes.
This…
Even if he killed Nathan, the Fletcher family wouldn’t dare to trouble him!
The Fletcher family, whom he had been desperately trying to curry favor with, now had to desperately curry favor with him!
What kind of existence was this?!
Today, his daughter and son-in-law couldn’t be protected anymore…
