Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2025-2-5

“I didn’t expect Peter and the Spencer family would have this connection!”
“The number one parking spot in front of the Gray family’s house is often empty, and I was wondering why. It turns out it’s reserved for the Spencer family!”
“The provincial government office is in Pelens, only about ten minutes away from here. Just wait, in ten minutes, everything will come to light!”
After Peter explained, the proud patriarchs of the wealthy family became lively once again.
Emotions ran high, and everyone was filled with excitement.
Peter had always been a very low-key person.
The members of the Gray family rarely showed themselves to the public, even Rolando’s generation seldom made headlines, giving an air of mystery to the outside world.
Coupled with the Gray family’s recent success and Nick Gray’s smooth career path, it piqued the curiosity of the public. Now, Peter’s words completely unveiled the background of the Gray family.
It turned out they had a connection with the Spencer family!
Everyone was shocked and felt a renewed sense of hope.
As long as Flynn was suppressed today, no one would dare to stir up trouble in Pelens!
Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Scarlet felt her palms grow sweaty. The thing she feared most had happened!
The Gray family wanted Rocco Spencer to intervene. With such a good relationship between the two families, would Rocco Spencer take Flynn’s side?
Scarlet felt a slight tension in her heart. She hoped Rocco Spencer would remain neutral so that the Gray family wouldn’t be able to do anything to Flynn!
Bobby Sheppard’s gaze shifted from Flynn to Peter. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke up, “Mr. Gray, how about not troubling Rocco Spencer?”
“After all, it’s a holiday. It wouldn’t be good to make a big fuss.”
Peter was already eighty years old and had lived a peaceful life. How many more years could he live?
Now he was being pushed around by everyone, standing against someone as powerful as heaven itself. He didn’t want to see him embarrassed.
If the Gray family could distance themselves from this matter, it might affect their influence, but at least they could save face.
It would be better than being a laughingstock in Pelens.
But if they continued to fight, who knew how Flynn would deal with the Gray family and the Langford family?
That was what Bobby Sheppard thought, but the people from the Gray family understood it differently.
“Peter wants to invite the Governor over-are you scared, Mr. Sheppard?”
“Mr. Sheppard takes money for his services. Naturally, he has to speak up for Flynn. Unfortunately, this money isn’t easy to come by!”
“You want us to drop this matter? Flynn wants to challenge all of Pelens’ prestigious families! Let’s see if Mr. Davies can still speak up for him with Rocco Spencer here!”
The emotions of everyone rose again as they sarcastically mocked Bobby Sheppard.
Oh, Bobby Sheppard, you knew that Flynn was both the head instructor and Great Grandmaster. That was why you dared to take his money and gamble on him, right?
Unfortunately, you lost that bet!
Adria Langford sneered mockingly, “Mr. Sheppard, you’ve been wise throughout your life. Whether it’s investing or attending social events, you never stand on the wrong side.”
“That’s why you became Pelens’ richest man-you’re adept at playing all sides and have done remarkably well!”
“Too bad you’re not a god and didn’t guess that the Gray family would invite Rocco Spencer.”
“One misstep becomes a lifelong regret. I’m afraid the Sheppard family won’t have an easy time in Pelens anymore.”
Peyton’s expression tightened when she heard these threatening words. The Sheppard family’s future was now tied to Flynn. Their fortunes rose and fell together. If Flynn won, it would be fine, but if he lost, the Sheppard family would become the target of everyone’s anger!
The Gray family and the Langford family were political families. It would be so easy for them to make things difficult for the Sheppard family!
Thinking about this, Peyton became nervous, her hands sweating profusely.
“Mr. Sheppard, it’s not that I’m unreasonable. It’s just that this young man is too arrogant,” Peter said.
“Don’t worry. Since he is your friend, I’ll give you face and let Rocco handle things officially.”
“Flynn injured Felix Langford. We will handle it according to the rules. If he needs to be arrested, we will arrest him; if he needs to apologize, we will make him apologize!”
“Nick, give me the phone. I’ll make the call.” Peter made a final decision on behalf of Pelens’ prestigious families, intending to teach Flynn a lesson.
After Peter dialed Rocco Spencer’s number, Bobby Sheppard gathered his courage and pleaded with Flynn, “Mr. Clark, how about we drop this matter? It’s a holiday today. I can set up a table at my place for you to have a drink.”
Flynn remained expressionless and shook his head lightly. “I said I would make the Langford family apologize, and I haven’t dealt with Rolando yet.”
The crowd erupted once again.
“Good! This guy is too arrogant! Even with Rocco Spencer coming over soon, he still talks tough as if he thinks Mr. Davies favors him and can help him avoid this disaster!”
“Mr. Davies may be powerful as the head of Shipmeda State’s military, but Rocco Spencer is the head of Shipmeda State Province! Even Mr. Davies also has to give him face!”
“Achieving some success makes him think he’s invincible! Let’s see if he still says that when Rocco Spencer arrives!”
Flynn’s attitude angered everyone once again.
He was just being arrogant. In the end, he would only embarrass himself!
Bobby Sheppard said those words because he wanted him to back down and apologize to the Gray family and the Langford family.
In that case, the Gray family might show leniency due to Mr. Davies’ face.
But who would have guessed he would choose to court death?!
Bobby Sheppard must be regretting it now. Regretting that Flynn was so stubborn and dragged him into this mess!
“Dealing with my grandson?” Peter became angry. After hanging up the phone, he stared coldly at Flynn and spoke in a low voice,
“I respect Mr. Clark’s strength, but you publicly broke Felix Langford’s limbs, disregarding military decorum!”
“Even if Mr. Davies is here, I still want to ask him how he chose you as head instructor. You’re nothing more than a thug!”
“Is your martial arts skill only used to bully ordinary people?”
Upon hearing these words from Peter, everyone present had their expressions changed simultaneously.
Eduardo was even more shocked. He didn’t expect Peter to say something so harsh.
This would put Flynn in an extremely difficult situation!
Rolando snorted lightly and smirked with satisfaction.
It was true that Felix Langford was injured by Flynn. Many people saw it happen.
Even if the military wanted to suppress it, Adam Davies couldn’t do anything about it!
If the Langford family reported this incident to the Imperial Center, not only would Flynn lose his position as head instructor, but he would also end up in prison!
“Felix Langford is considered an ordinary person? He is just a scoundrel who abuses his power because of his family background!”
“If the Langford family can produce such a son like him, then they deserve blame!” Flynn didn’t even raise his eyebrows as he casually responded.
“You’re outrageous!” Adria Langford became furious. “You were clearly at fault, yet, you’re trying to argue here!”
“Even if my son did something wrong, there are authorities who will deal with it. It doesn’t give you any right to lecture us!”
“Authorities? Officials always protect each other!” Flynn snorted lightly and stood proudly with his hands behind his back.
“Mr. Sheppard is right. Today is a holiday, and we shouldn’t have spoiled it by making a big fuss.”
“But I can’t stand the arrogance of you privileged elites. Just because you have a bit of power, you act all high and mighty.”
“Since no one can teach you humility, let me take it upon myself to do so!”
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
Flynn’s words ignited everyone’s anger.
Humility?
They were either billionaires or high-ranking officials. Did they need humility?
Let’s wait until Rocco Spencer arrives! Then this bastard would realize just how insignificant he was in front of these powerful elites!
“You brat…” Adria Langford exploded with anger, but Peter raised his hand to stop him.
“Adria, there’s no need to argue with such a thug. Let’s wait quietly for Rocco to arrive.”
After saying these words, Peter closed his eyes and rested.
Flynn also felt bored and found an empty seat to sit down on.
Not long after that, a voice rang out, loud and commanding. Murmurs of shock and reverence rippled through the crowd.
“Rocco Spencer has arrived!”
