âFather.â
âYou heard about your brothers, right?â Oliver asked.
âIâve heard,â Silas replied with a complicated expression. âThis wonât be something easy to handle. The Inspection Department operates under the chairmanâs jurisdiction. With our position among the
shareholders, we donât have the qualification to appeal to the
chairman.â
âNo wonder the Inspection Department acts so boldly,â Oliver said as he massaged his temples. To save Travis and Queenie, they had to persuade the Inspection Department and the Legal Department to
drop the charges.
The Graham family held some stake in Universal Group. He had intended to leverage their status as a shareholder to talk to the director of the Inspection Department, but now it looked like the approach was off the table.
âMinnie will return to the country tomorrow. Iâll have her talk to M
Calcraft,â Silas suggested.
Oliver sighed softly. âWe can only do that now.â
Meanwhile, Nash had just returned to Royal Bay with Hera when he received a call from Angelica. This made him wonder if information had turned up about Cassie. Nash quickly fished out his phone and
answered the call.
âMr. Calcraft, Miss Queenie has something to say to you,â Angelica
said before handing the phone to Queenie.
Queenieâs voice sounded from the other end of the line. âNash, I can let go of the matter with Justin. As long as you withdraw the lawsuit, I
can get the Charlie family to spare you!â
Nash was slightly startled. âYouâre the one directing the Charlie
family?â
Queenie replied casually, âI donât know what youâre saying, but you should get what Iâm trying to say. My eldest sister is the girlfriend of the heir apparent of the Charlie family. All my sister needs to do is
give the word and the family will stop troubling you.â
âIs there anything else?â Nash smiled faintly.
âIf you persist in your stubbornness, then just wait for the fury of the
Charlie family to befall you!â Queenie said and hung up the phone.
coldly.
Nash put away his phone nonchalantly as Hera asked in a quiet voice,
âDid someone really instruct Leon to approach me?â
Nash sat on the couch and pulled Hera onto his lap. Smiling faint
he replied, âThey want to use the Charlie family to deal with me.â
Hera became nervous at that. âYou killed Leon. Wonât they do as the please now?â
Nash sneakily stuck his hand into Heraâs clothes. âItâs just a small matter. I can handle the Charlie family with just one phone call.â
Hera grabbed Nashâs restless hand, a frown crossing her features.â The Charlie family is one of the three major financial conglomerate families in Moliga. Theyâre powerful. How are you going to handle
them?â
Nash withdrew his hand and pressed it to his nose, taking a sniff. This made Hera blush. âDo you have to be so lewd?â
Nash took out his phone and dialed Fabianâs number. He believed Fabian could help him deal with the matter. However, when Fabian. heard that Nash had killed someone from the Charlie family, he
immediately fell silent.
After a long pause, Fabian said slowly, âYou may have gotten yourself into big trouble this time. The Charlie family has terrifying power
when it comes to the martial arts scene.
âWith their recent development of super warriors, theyâve taken over
almost half of the martial arts circles in Moliga.â
âSuper warriors?â Nash was puzzled. âWhen did they appear?â
Four years ago, the Charlie family was not even part of the Martial
Arts Realm. Yet, in just four short years, they had somehow come to
dominate half of the martial arts circles?â
Fabian replied, âAbout two years ago. Iâm quite familiar with the youn
sir of the Charlie family. Iâll negotiate with him, but donât hold too
much hope.â
Nash calmly replied, âIf it can be settled, then settle it. If not, Iâll handle it myself.â
Fabian sneered. âWhile you have the power to be arrogant, I advise
you to be more low-key when facing the Charlie family. Theyâre not
people you can afford to provoke.â
Nash did not bother replying to that and just ended the call.
Fabian had been grooming his pet cat in his luxurious mansion. He was sitting on the couch with a stunned look on his face. Nash had hung up on him again. Very few people dared to do that to him.
After taking a deep breath and suppressing his anger, Fabian dialed
another number.
âMr. Hughes, how are you?â the voice on the other end greeted him. âDid someone from the Charlie family die?â Fabian asked directly.
