All of that isn’t important! What matters is one’s own wife and child!
Thud, thud, thud! Suddenly, a knocking sound was heard. “Come in,” Chris said lightly. Leif Tate walked in with a respectful expression. “Mr. Shelby!”
At present, Leif Tate, the overseas market manager of the Chester Group, was fully responsible for Chester Group’s overseas market. Chris addressed Leif Tate first, “Your timing is perfect. I have something to entrust to you! King’s Leagues on Star Island has promised to fully support Chester Group in developing the overseas market!”
“Arrange to go with me to Star Island to inspect the market.”
“Yes,” Leif Tate said respectfully. He had already received the news of the destruction of the Jefferson family and the death of Ron Jefferson on Star Island. Upon hearing this news, Leif Tate was almost stunned!
You see, he had served the Jefferson family for decades and knew their power on Star Island better than anyone. The Jefferson family was one of the top families on Star Island. Ron Jefferson was not only the head of the Jefferson family but also a senior elder of King’s Leagues. Yet, despite such a strong force, they were easily destroyed by Chris! Leif Tate was thoroughly impressed by Chris. In the presence of Chris, Leif Tate couldn’t help but feel an involuntary sense of awe.
“However…” Suddenly, Leif Tate hesitated. “However, what? Don’t beat around the bush. If you have something to say, say it directly!” Chris frowned. Leif Tate took a deep breath, “Mr. Shelby, our Chester Group’s desire to do business on Star Island cannot rely solely on King’s Leagues’ support. After all, King’s Leagues is an underground force on Star Island, whereas our Chester Group operates legitimate business. Therefore, King’s Leagues can’t offer us much help.”
“The most important point is, I’ve worked for the Jefferson family for many years and I understand the distribution of power on Star Island very well! When doing business on Star Island, we can never bypass one family, the foremost family on Star Island-the Lee family!”
“Lee family?” Hearing this, Chris glanced at Leif Tate, signaling him to continue. Leif Tate explained, “The Lee family is the top family on Star Island, controlling eighty percent of the island’s commercial resources. The Lee Group under Lee family is a behemoth on Star Island, just like our company’s position domestically!”
“Previously, although the Jefferson family was known as a major family on Star Island, they were far inferior to the Lee family. Otherwise, Ron Jefferson wouldn’t have placed such importance on the Isa Group! It’s because the market on Star Island has been monopolized by the Lee family, and even the Jefferson family couldn’t intervene!”
“Moreover, every company doing business on Star Island must pay respect to the Lee Group, and they also have to hand over ten percent of their annual profits to the Lee Group. If they don’t, foreign enterprises cannot do business on Star Island.” Leif Tate’s words were very clear. It indicated that the Lee family had monopolized all of Star Island’s commercial resources. Every company coming to Star Island to do business had to pay a protection fee to the Lee family. Without paying, they couldn’t operate on Star Island.
“Tch,” Chris sneered, “This Lee family sure knows how to dream. They actually demand ten percent of the profits from every company doing business on Star Island. On what grounds? Just because they have a big presence?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll leave the task of expanding into the Star Island market entirely to you. If the Lee family dares to cause trouble, just tell me. I don’t mind showing the Lee family what I’m capable of!” With these words, a cold intent flashed in Chris’s eyes.
Whether it was the Jefferson family or the Lee family, if they dared to provoke him, he’d show them who’s boss! “Yes,” Leif Tate nodded. Since he had made his point clear, if the Lee family caused trouble later, he would just inform Chris. The Yang family had wiped out the Jefferson family. It shouldn’t be too difficult to wipe out the Lee family as well, right? “You may leave,” Chris waved his hand, dismissing Leif Tate. Leif Tate left tactfully to start planning the first step of the Chester Group’s expansion overseas-Star Island! The overseas strategy of the Chester Group was finally beginning!
At that time, on Star Island, King’s Leagues, after Chris had left Star Island, Aiden immediately contacted Fraser Lee, the eldest son of the Lee family!
As the head of King’s Leagues, Aiden was well aware of the influence of the Lee family on Star Island. Chester Group’s desire to do business on Star Island couldn’t bypass the Lee family. As Chris’s vanguard, Aiden naturally had to help clear the way for Chris.
Fraser Lee sat there, wearing an immaculate Armani suit, with not a single crease on it. On his feet were a pair of pristine custom-made leather shoes.
“I wonder why Master Aiden is seeking me today,” Fraser Lee asked, condescendingly. It was as if he were the master of the place, dismissing Aiden, the head of King’s Leagues, as if he were a mere nobody. Regardless of Aiden’s position as the head of King’s Leagues, Fraser Lee didn’t seem to hold him in high regard. After all, what was King’s Leagues? Just an underground mouse.
At best, a big mouse! Despite feeling slightly annoyed by Fraser Lee’s air of superiority, Aiden knew that this time he needed to ask for a favor. No matter how displeased he felt, he had to suppress it. He smiled wryly, “Master Lee, I do have a matter to discuss with you this time! I have a friend who wishes to do business, and as you know, here on Star Island, your Lee family monopolizes all the commercial resources. So, I was hoping Master Lee could assist my friend.”
Upon hearing this, Fraser Lee’s lips curled up slightly. The Lee family, as the foremost family on Star Island, held unparalleled influence compared to any other family on the island. If someone wanted to do business on Star Island, without the Lee family’s approval, they wouldn’t get far.
However, while Fraser Lee looked down on Aiden, he knew that as the head of King’s Leagues, Aiden still held some influence on Star Island. “Heh heh! Your friend, Master Aiden, is my friend. This is a trivial matter for me, just a word’s affair.”
“In that case, I thank you, Master Lee!” Aiden was overjoyed. With Fraser Lee’s consent, Chester Group’s venture onto Star Island would no longer be a problem. Suddenly, Fraser Lee asked, “By the way, Master Aiden, I would like to inquire about the nature of business your friend is in.”
“Well…” Aiden hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, “Master Lee, to be frank, my friend is none other than the Chester Group of Amerosia!”
Chester Group? Upon hearing this, Fraser Lee’s eyes immediately flashed with a hint of severity. Of course, he had heard of the Chester Group. Not long ago, members of the Chester Group had been making waves on Star Island. It was said that Chris had helped Aiden regain control of King’s Leagues. Furthermore, the Jefferson family had been wiped out overnight by Chris. Now, the Chester Group wanted to do business on Star Island? Fraser Lee couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
