Fraser Lee was almost furious. He had given Link ten billion! That was a substantial amount of money! Stacked together, it could build a skyscraper! Yet the news that arrived was that King’s Leagues had not been destroyed, and his Lee family’s properties had been subjected to King’s Leagues’ attacks. It was simply outrageous! What was King’s Leagues? When had it become acceptable for them to trample over him like this? The secretary trembled as she said, “Young Master, East Lions’ leader Link is indeed dead!”
“What did you say?” Fraser Lee was stunned. The secretary, her face pale, continued, “Not only is Link dead, but the entire East Lions has been wiped out! Now, those ruffians in Star Island have all surrendered to King’s Leagues. In the underground world, King’s Leagues have complete control!”
Bang! Upon hearing this, Fraser Lee slumped weakly into his chair. His face instantly flushed. He was filled with an endless rage, but he couldn’t seem to let it out. This feeling of powerlessness and frustration was just maddening! How could this be happening? He had given ten billion to Link to wipe out King’s Leagues, and it should have been a sure thing. Yet, King’s Leagues had not been eliminated, East Lions had been destroyed, and even Link had been killed! Now, even his Lee family’s properties had suffered retaliation from King’s Leagues. Where had it all gone wrong?
“This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Aiden, if you dare to provoke my Lee family, you are asking for death!” Fraser Lee stood up; he was about to lose his temper. King’s Leagues were ruthlessly suppressing Lee family’s businesses. This not only resulted in heavy losses for Lee family but, more importantly, it trampled their pride into the ground. Damn it! This vendetta would not go unanswered; he swore it!
Just as Fraser Lee was about to mobilize his men, his father, Jason Lee, walked in. Jason Lee’s face was as dark as it could be. “Dad…” Before Fraser Lee could say anything, Jason Lee slapped him. Fuming, he asked, “What have you done behind my back?”
“I…” Fraser Lee could not say a word while holding his face. Jason Lee, furious, said, “Many Amerosian businesses that were originally working closely with our Lee family, when their contracts expired this year, I told them to renew, and they actually said they needed to consider it! You have to understand, this has never happened before! In Star Island, who dares to refuse cooperation with our Lee family? But these businessmen from Amerosia have actually rejected our Lee family and said they needed to consider it!”
“What in the world is happening?” “You ungrateful child!” Jason Lee was furious. After hearing the news from the company, despite being the head of the Lee family, he was blinded. He immediately ordered an investigation. After the investigation, he found out that these Amerosian businessmen had rejected cooperation with Lee family because they had received instructions from the Chester Group. Although they were doing business in Star Island, most of their headquarters were still in Amerosia. The Chester Group was the top group in Amerosia. These businessmen from Amerosia dared not offend the Chester Group. Offending the Chester Group would bring disaster to their businesses in Amerosia. It would be a catastrophe worse than offending the Lee family. Therefore, between the Chester Group and the Lee family, these Amerosian businessmen chose the Chester Group without hesitation! After all, offending the Lee family would only mean losing some business interests in Star Island. But if they offended the Chester Group, they would likely go bankrupt immediately. This matter was nothing short of a disaster for the Lee family. These Amerosian businessmen coming to Star Island to do business had to hand over ten percent of their profits to the Lee family every year. If these Amerosian businessmen did not cooperate with the Lee family, the main source of income for the Lee family would be lost by more than half! Most importantly, Jason Lee also found out that the Lee family’s businesses in Star Island had been targeted and damaged by King’s Leagues! This had never happened before. After further investigation, Jason Lee discovered that King’s Leagues’ actions were completely orchestrated by the Chester Group. With this, the foundation of the Lee family was in jeopardy. If things continued, the Lee family would probably struggle to maintain its position as the top family in Star Island!
With a look of grievance, Fraser Lee said, “Dad, I really don’t know what’s going on. You have to believe me!” At this point, Fraser Lee dared not tell Jason Lee the truth. If Jason Lee found out that everything was due to his own recklessness and that he had offended the Chester Group, Jason Lee would certainly not sparehim. At that point, his position as the heir of the Lee family would be in jeopardy. He absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen! Jason Lee shouted, “Fraser Lee, let me tell you, just because you’re my son doesn’t mean I won’t do anything to you. You go and solve this matter immediately. If you can’t, then get out of Lee Group!”
“Yes!” Fraser Lee did not dare to retort in any way, leaving with a face full of shame and indignation. All of this was caused by the Chester Group! If it weren’t for the Chester Group, he wouldn’t have been slapped by his own father. But now, Fraser Lee had to deal with the current crisis. If the Chester Group established itself on Star Island, there might not be any external businessmen willing to cooperate with the Lee family anymore. Because if the Chester Group could do business on Star Island without giving ten percent of the profits to the Lee family, why would other businessmen willingly hand over that ten percent? They weren’t fools! The most pressing matter was to completely eliminate the Chester Group. “Chester Group, since you want to play hardball with me, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” With that, Fraser Lee’s eyes revealed a fierce glint.
Meanwhile, at the same time, the Chester Group’s Star Island branch was announced to be established! The entire office building had already been fully furnished. “Miss Esther, Mr. Shelby, some Amerosian businessmen are here to congratulate the establishment of the Chester Group’s Star Island branch,” Leif Tate walked into the office, showing utmost respect. Chris calmly said, “Let them in!” Subsequently, several Amerosian businessmen entered, wearing expressions of great respect. “Congratulations on the establishment of the Chester Group’s Star Island branch!” “Miss Esther, Mr. Shelby, congratulations!” “Congratulations! We wish the Chester Group continuous prosperity!”
The expressions of the several Amerosian businessmen as they looked at Chris and Esther were extremely complicated. They held both reverence for the big shots and envy beneath their greed! After all, they came to Star Island to do business, and in order to establish themselves, they were forced to cooperate with the Lee family. They had to hand over ten percent of their profits every year, which was essentially bleeding them dry! But the fact that the Chester Group could establish itself on Star Island without cooperating with the Lee family was a direct blow to them! So today, besides congratulating the establishment of the Chester Group’s Star Island branch, they had another important purpose: to test the attitude of the Chester Group! They wanted to seek help from the Chester Group!
