Everyone around was shocked.
It was known that the Noire family was at the forefront of the ten noble families.
With a century of accumulation, the Noire family was not short of money, nor did they owe anyone.
And even if the Noire family did owe money, who would dare to demand it?
Although Blake Noire was a prodigal son, he was still part of the Noire family.
Now, Chris Shelby was aggressively demanding a debt, which, if word got out, would utterly disgrace Blake Noire.
Blake Noire gritted his teeth and said, “Chris Shelby, stop spouting nonsense. When did I ever owe you money?”
Seeing Blake Noire’s denial, Chris Shelby sneered.
With a cold face, Chris Shelby said, “Blake Noire, I’ll ask you just one thing, are you going to give me the ten billion dollars or not? You know, your Noire family is at the forefront of the ten noble families, and this could damage your family’s reputation! If you don’t pay me, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
As he spoke, Tiger and others surrounded Blake Noire.
Seeing this, Blake Noire’s face turned extremely ugly.
Although the Noire family was wealthy, ten billion dollars was a significant amount!
The Noire family’s money didn’t just appear out of thin air; ten billion dollars would be a massive blow to them.
Moreover, Blake Noire was just one of the young masters of the Noire family; where would he get ten billion dollars?
Even if he had ten billion, he wouldn’t give it to Chris Shelby.
He had broken a leg, and he hadn’t yet settled this account with Chris Shelby.
Blake Noire said through clenched teeth, “Chris Shelby, don’t push me too far! You should know this is Middleton, not a place where you can act recklessly.”
Chris Shelby’s expression darkened, “Blake Noire, since you refuse to pay, then don’t blame me for being heartless.”
Upon hearing this, Blake Noire’s face changed drastically.
He shouted in panic, “Chris Shelby, don’t mess around! I am a young master of the Noire family, if you dare kill me, the Noire family will not let you go!”
Chris Shelby said calmly, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you, but… I will make you a eunuch!”
Snap!
As soon as he finished speaking, Chris Shelby kicked fiercely.
“Ah!”
In an instant, Blake Noire screamed.
He covered his groin, his face twisted in agony.
Lysander Frost, who was nearby, was immediately struck with horror.
Had Chris Shelby gone mad?
Blake Noire was a young master of the Noire family!
Chris Shelby had crippled him, turning him into a eunuch.
Once this news spread, the Noire family would certainly seek relentless vengeance against Chris Shelby.
Looking down at Blake Noire, Chris Shelby said, “Blake Noire, I’m giving you one last chance! If you don’t pay me next time, I will kill you!”
Hearing this, Blake Noire’s face was filled with bitter hatred.
At this moment, Blake Noire bit his teeth and dared not utter a word.
Because Chris Shelby was a madman, and when provoked, he could do anything!
Then, Chris Shelby turned to Lysander Frost and warned, “Lysander Frost, I’m warning you too! If you dare provoke me, you’ll end up like Blake Noire.”
Hearing this, Lysander Frost broke out in a cold sweat.
Chris Shelby dared to cripple Blake Noire, let alone him.
After crippling Blake Noire, Chris Shelby turned and left with Tiger and the others.
In fact, Chris Shelby had never really intended to make Blake Noire pay back the money, because he knew Blake Noire had no money to pay.
Chris Shelby’s actions were merely a warning to the Noire family.
Even if the Noire family wanted to trouble him, Chris Shelby was not the least bit afraid.
Chris Shelby wanted everyone to know that he was not to be trifled with.
After leaving the bar, Chris Shelby pulled out his phone and dialed Lynx.
“Lynx, the action is tonight!”
After hanging up, a mysterious smile appeared on Chris Shelby’s lips.
“Middleton is starting to liven up!”
The news of Chris Shelby crippling Blake Noire spread quickly throughout Middleton.
Last time, Chris Shelby had broken one of Blake Noire’s legs; this time, he had crippled him for life.
By doing this, Chris Shelby showed no regard for the Noire family at all!
The next day, Chris Shelby visited the branch office again.
By then, the entire building had been taken over by the East Coast Guards to ensure the safety of Chris Shelby and Esther.
Ding-a-ling!
Suddenly, Chris Shelby’s phone rang.
Picking up, he saw it was a call from James.
Upon answering, he was greeted by James’s excited voice.
“Chris Shelby, you are incredible! I didn’t expect you to take down Blake Noire!”
“But the Noire family has already vowed revenge. I suggest you head back to the East Coast soon!”
“Why should I head back to the East Coast?” Chris Shelby asked nonchalantly.
“Ah!” James sighed.
“Chris Shelby, my grandfather already knows about it. He wants you to come over. And, my cousin knows too. She really cares about you. Why don’t you divorce Esther and become my cousin’s husband?”
“What are you talking about? I’m a married man. How could I possibly marry your cousin? If you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Alright, alright!”
James knew well that Chris Shelby would never divorce Esther.
After talking a bit more, James hung up.
Caspian Vance wanted him to visit?
Chris Shelby knew it must be about the Blake Noire incident.
But he also knew he would be reprimanded by Caspian Vance.
Even though Chris Shelby was a prominent figure in Amerosia, Caspian Vance was a senior military figure and a founding hero whom Chris respected.
This time, Chris Shelby had really made enemies with the Noire family.
Chris guessed that Caspian Vance would likely distance himself from this issue.
However, Chris Shelby wasn’t too bothered; he wasn’t very close to the Vance family.
If it weren’t for Candace, he wouldn’t have known Caspian Vance.
Chris ordered Tiger to protect Esther around the clock.
The entire office building was also guarded by the East Coast Guards.
With Tiger and the East Coast Guards, Esther’s safety was not an issue.
The current East Coast Guards were not what they used to be.
In Middleton, there were hardly any threats to the East Coast Guards.
Later, Chris Shelby drove to the Vance family.
Upon arrival, he saw Caspian Vance sitting in the living room with a chessboard in front of him.
Chris Shelby approached and asked, “Mr. Vance, did you want to see me about something?”
Humph!
Caspian Vance snorted but did not reply.
Chris Shelby walked closer and noticed a challenging chess setup before Caspian Vance.
“It’s difficult to solve this board, but it’s not impossible,” Chris Shelby remarked.
At that, Caspian Vance’s eyes brightened.
Without waiting for a response, Chris Shelby placed a knight on the board.
“Mr. Vance, look, this move breathes life into the whole game.”
