Chapter 1210:
He would likely be eager to share.â
âAnd how does this tie into the Rovania government laundering money?â Harlee interjected sharply.
Harlee knew Waylon wouldnât mention Nathaniel without a reason.
Either Waylon was trying to draw the Green family into his affairs, or there was indeed some historical entanglement between Nathaniel and the Salazar family.
However, Harlee was certain Nathaniel had no involvement in money laundering.
Waylon looked at Harlee and said deliberately, âIt has no ties with the Rovania government laundering money. Itâs just that without Nathaniel, the Salazar family wouldnât be where it is today.â
Waylon could overlook many things, but he would always remember Nathanielâs past assistance to the Salazar family, a paramount principle of the Salazar family and the exact reason he tolerated Rhysâ unreasonable actions. Otherwise, even if Harlee had managed to carve a way out of those ruthless assassins for Rhys that day, she couldnât have ensured heâd remain unscathed.
Waylon had only discovered Rhysâ belonging to the Green family after the failed murder attempt at the mountain.
Seeing neither Rhys nor Harlee showed any interest in such a topic, Waylon continued, his voice tinged with irritation, âBack then, my grandfather, the first patriarch of the Salazar family, was fifty-six.
He lost his legs to a rival group, yet he never surrendered. With his relentless spirit and sharp intellect, he brought our family to the elite families of Rovania.â
Harlee listened with an expressionless face. If it werenât part of their strategy, she wouldnât have bothered with Waylonâs story. It was dull.

Harlee was growing restless, wondering how much longer until Baldrick signaled.
Waylon proceeded to share more of his familyâs past.
âMy grandfather tried to avoid getting entangled with the Rovania government, but circumstances compelled him to clean up their messes.
Eventually, the Salazar family emerged as a dominant force in Rovania. Untilâ¦â
Waylonâs eyes burned with hatred.
âThat was until the leadership passed to my uncle.
He was easily influenced and would bend to whatever the Rovania government demanded. In just ten years, under his rule, the Salazar family was reduced to nothing more than a puppet for the government! He didnât just launder money for the Rovania government.
He also took care of all their societal troubles.â
He clenched his jaw, his anger evident.
âHe had betrayed the Salazar family!â
âSo, itâs not the Rovania government you despise, but your uncleâs incompetence?â Harlee mocked. She had expected a tragic tale, but it turned out to be ridiculous.
Harlee was unfamiliar with Waylonâs uncle, Brevard Salazar, but she knew the previous leader, Marisa Salazar, as the most honorable person from Rovania she had ever met.
Had illness not struck Marisa down, she might have led the Salazar family to greatness. Unlike Waylon, Marisa would never have stooped to serving Rovaniaâs corrupt officials.
