Inside an office, a man dressed in a suit, standing tall at around 1. 8 meters, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, had a refined appearance. However, with a loud bang, he slammed his fist onto the table, his eyes filled with a hint of mad killing intent.
“Ferdinand Braton, how dare you lay a finger on my brother.”
He cared deeply for his brother, but this Ferdinand Braton was asking for trouble.
“Damn it, I can’t leave now.”
Stuart Holt wanted to go out, but he couldn’t at the moment. He had things to take care of, but if he didn’t go out, his brother would die. He immediately made a phone call, “Emmett Tang, go to the Braton family and save my brother…”
“That might not align with the intentions of those higher-ups,” a deep voice came from the phone.
“I have higher authority than you. Consider this an order,” Stuart Holt said coldly.
His brother was on the verge of death; he couldn’t be concerned about anything else.
“Understood.”
Emmett Tang responded and hung up the phone.
“Ferdinand Braton, how dare you!”
Stuart Holt roared in a low voice. The Braton family had truly touched his sore spot.
Immediately, the Tang family took action.
Emmett Tang.
The head of the Tang family and one of the directors of the Bianhai Three Corporations.
Apart from Emmett Tang, Stuart Holt didn’t know who else could save his brother. Perhaps he could go himself with a group of people, but he couldn’t leave now, as he had other matters to attend to.
Therefore, Stuart Holt could only rely on the Tang family.
Near the Braton family estate.
Two Wolf Guards were concealed on a tree. Both of them were experts in the military, perfectly hidden using the terrain, making it impossible to detect their presence.
Boom.
Boom.
The sound of vehicles caught the attention of the two Wolf Guards.
“This is Emmett Tang, the head of the Tang family. Quick, report to the general.”
The Wolf Guard recognized the people inside and immediately spoke.
The Tang family had arrived.
Soon, Emmett Tang arrived with a large group of people at the Braton family, causing Ferdinand Braton to be alarmed.
“What? Emmett Tang has come, and he has brought a large group of people. What is he here for? Shouldn’t he be causing trouble for the Beckett family? Why come to me? And judging by the situation, it seems like trouble is brewing,” Ferdinand Braton furrowed his brow, listening to his subordinates’ report, and walked out from inside.
He couldn’t understand.
Why would the Tang family suddenly come to their Braton family, and with such a menacing stance? After all, the Braton family was currently an ally of the Tang family. If they wanted to take down the Beckett family, they should join forces with the Braton family.
But now…
As Ferdinand Braton contemplated, he walked to the entrance of the estate and saw Emmett Tang, who was surrounded by bodyguards. He was slightly older, resembling a little old man, but Ferdinand Braton didn’t dare underestimate him.
One couldn’t reach such a position with ordinary means.
“The head of the Tang family, why have you come to me? Are you here for a chat? But why bring so many people? Don’t you trust our alliance with the Braton family?” Ferdinand Braton squinted his eyes.
He hinted that they were still allies and should not go too far.
Emmett Tang understood the implied message and chuckled, “Head of the Braton family, it’s not that I don’t consider our alliance. The key is that someone asked for my help. Grover Holt, he’s here with you. I owe his brother a favor, and I’ve come to take him away.”
“His brother? Stuart Holt? Emmett Tang, when did Stuart Holt, that young man, gain such influence? He can move the head of one of the Bianhai Three Corporations, and moreover, you’ve brought people with you. If I don’t agree, you’ll tear off the mask of friendship and forcefully take him away, is that it? Stuart Holt, quite a powerful individual.” Ferdinand Braton’s gaze darkened as he spoke slowly.
This was truly unexpected for him.
That Stuart Holt might be more formidable than he had imagined. Emmett Tang mentioned owing him a favor, but the crucial point was that a single favor could make the head of one of the Bianhai Three Corporations personally lead a team and be willing to pay the price of tearing apart their alliance with the Braton family to take away the insignificant Grover Holt.
This was not a simple matter of a favor.
“I’m sorry, but today I must take him away,” Emmett Tang said.
He didn’t want to, but it was an order.
“You…” A hint of ferocity flickered in Ferdinand Braton’s eyes, but the next moment, it vanished. “Fine, I can let you take Grover Holt, but I want the Tang family to help me find Patrick Bailey. I want the Tang family to launch an attack on the Beckett family, a full-scale assault. The Braton family will assist you. Patrick Bailey is connected to the Beckett family. He won’t stay hidden if the Beckett family is destroyed.”
“Head of the Tang family, you won’t refuse me even in this small matter, after all, the Beckett family has always been your mortal enemy. If you don’t agree, I won’t hand Grover Holt over to you. I’d rather the Braton family and the Tang family clash, allowing the Beckett family to reap the benefits.” Ferdinand Braton threatened fiercely.
His primary goal was still Patrick Bailey, not Grover Holt or the Tang family.
“Alright,” Emmett Tang sighed. He had no choice; he had already come here with a plan, and if Ferdinand Braton didn’t agree, he would have to resort to force. But the Braton family wasn’t an ordinary family either. They might have to pay a huge price.
But there was no other way. Stuart Holt had given his word.
They had to come.
But now, the Braton family has given them a way out, which is already quite good.
“Bring Grover Holt here,” Ferdinand Braton waved his hand.
Immediately, someone went to bring Grover Holt. They brought a mangled and bloody body that was still dripping with blood, but everyone could still hear his faint breaths.
“I really don’t know… where Patrick Bailey is… I really don’t know…” He genuinely didn’t know. With each lash, he wanted to confess. But he truly didn’t know where Patrick Bailey was.
“I’m not a loyal person… I was pretending… I really… don’t know where Patrick Bailey is…” Grover Holt’s feeble voice came out. He really didn’t know where Patrick Bailey was. Please don’t beat me. Even if you beat me, I still won’t know where Patrick Bailey is. Grover Holt was crying. It was so pitiful.
“It has come to this?” Emmett Tang frowned, his expression turning grim.
“This guy, protecting Patrick Bailey and setting a trap for me. In the end, he still claims loyalty and refuses to admit that he is an accomplice of Patrick Bailey. I admit, he’s loyal. But Patrick Bailey disabled my son’s lower body. I must seek revenge. That’s why it has come to this. If he had confessed earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this, and it would have been good for him to stay alive,” Ferdinand Braton waved his hand.
Yes, staying alive is already good enough.
Emmett Tang also relaxed his brow slightly. Staying alive is already good enough. If Grover Holt really died, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to Stuart Holt. That guy would go crazy.
