Chapter 240

The news that Alexander Kane of Ol’ Mare in Tormora had nothing to do with the Kane family in the north spread like wildfire all

over the north.

“Hahaha! That’s good to hear.” Tobias, having heard the news, was pleased. His expression turned malicious.” Since he isn’t part

of the Kane family, we don’t have to be afraid of him. Mister Wafer!”

Oddly heavy footsteps approached him.

Mister Water was the Ellis family’s strongest envoy and was also Gordon's god-grandfather. He was the Apex of Grandmaster,

Yered Wafer.

“Sir.” Yered walked over to Tobias, but he did not bow. His gaze gleamed with hostility. “I’m prepared. Just say the word, and I will

get you Alexander Kane's head!”

Tobias narrowed his eyes and slowly shook his head.

Killing someone was easy. Tobias wanted more than just to kill Alexander.

“Mister Wafer, challenge Alexander to a fight using your name,” Tobias said with a suppressed tone. His eyes gleamed coldly. “Of

course, this won't be a fair fight. I will arrange for everything and make sure he dies terribly!

“Furthermore, I'll invite all of the underworld forces in Tormora to watch. Not only do I want Alexander to die, but I also want him

to feel despair before he dies.”

Yered was silent for a few seconds. “What if he doesn’t accept the challenge...”

“He will!” Tobias snickered maliciously. “I’ve looked into it. He’s devoted to the General Manager of the New Chesire Group,

Amber Chesire. As long as we capture Amber, he will be in my control!”

Yered nodded at Tobias. “A fine plan, indeed!”

Things were in movement up in the north. A thousand kilometers away in Ol’ Mare, it was peaceful.

As the underworld forces were united, the economy in Tormora bloomed, and New Chesire Group kept growing. The online sales

platform of Life One was fully up and running. Not only were they selling in the country, but they were also expanding

internationally.

As for the construction going on at Larkspur County, under Frank Perry’s supervision and rush job, the entire base was built

within a week. They were also quickly recruiting planters. Everything went according to plan.

A Mercedes-Benz S600 with an Ol’ Mare car number plate sped on the highway.

Acela was sitting in the passenger seat in front. She turned to look at Amber seated behind and said, “Miss Chesire, you're so

close with Mister Kane. Why don’t you take him along to Larkspur County this time?”

Amber smiled.

Ever since Acela had been ambushed, they had changed her position at the New Chesire Group. After

112:

Amber secretly took Acela along to Larkspur County. She hoped to prove her capabilities to Alexander. She wanted to impress

him.

“We women have to be independent and strong. We can’t just rely on men.”

Amber thought back about the things that happened. She said with a smile, “Acela, having an amazing husband is a blessing,

but we can’t just laze around as well. The more amazing the men are, the more we have to prove our own value. Do you

understand?”

Acela blushed. She bit her lip.

She mused to herself, ‘Mister Kane will you look at me fondly if I perform well at work? But Miss Chesire will fire me if she finds

out, won't she?’

Bam!

Asudden loud crash interrupted Acela’s thought.

The car shook violently. Smoke was coming out from the hood, blocking their view. A low sneer rang out from the side of the

road. “Hehe! Miss Chesire, I’ve been waiting for you a long time!”

It was Tobias.

Two envoys in gray shirts walked over to the car door and smashed the bullet-proof glass with ease. They looked at the flustered

Amber and smirked.

“W-Who are you all!” Amber forced herself to remain calm. She secretly took her phone out of her bag, trying to stall time. “How

much money do you want? As long as you promise we are safe, I—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Tobias waved his hand, and an envoy immediately went forward and pulled Amber out of

the car. He sliced his hand down behind her neck, knocking her out immediately!

*Kidnapping? This is too easy!” Tobias sneered. He looked at Acela in the front passenger seat and snickered. “Don’t worry. Tell

Alexander Kane that as long as he obeys me, Miss Chesire will be alright. Also, get him to remember my name. Tobias Ellis of

the Ellis family!”
