This meeting of the Five-river Assembly, all the big shots deliberately avoided Miguel Abbott.
Now even the blind can see, there is definitely something going on between the two of them.
Otherwise, why would Miguel Abbott offend the Leopold Family, and leave Atlas Leopold to die without helping?
And on that day at the entertainment city, it was Ives Abbott who led the way in dealing with Atlas Leopold, the video has already spread.
If you say it wasnât on Miguel Abbottâs orders, Iâm afraid no one would believe it.
âMr. Abbott, youâve arrived.â
Although surprised, Maurice Yarrow still smiled and walked over to greet since they were all high-level figures from the Five-river Province.
âBoss Yarrow, itâs been a long time, good to see you!â
Miguel Abbott walked over and shook Maurice Yarrowâs hand, saying very cordially, âI heard there was a meeting, how could you leave me out, Brother? Thatâs not very considerate of you!â
âBrother Abbott, youâve wronged me!â
Maurice Yarrow pointed towards the conference room, âThis time itâs the Leopold Family leading the meeting, it really has nothing to do with us. As you know, todayâs meeting is about dealing with that person. From start to finish, my Three Blade Group hasnât shown its face at all.â
Although in his heart he was cursing Miguel Abbott nonstop for indulging his daughter in creating trouble and breaking Atlas Leopoldâs leg, he still explained with a smile.
In this circle, you always have to be a smiling tiger.
Whatever you say, you have to present it amiably to their face.
âIs that so! Well then, letâs head over and take a look!â
Miguel Abbott patted Maurice Yarrow on the shoulder and pulled him to enter together.
But in the moment Maurice Yarrow turned around, he unexpectedly saw a familiar face!
âJulius⦠how come youâ¦â
Behind Miguel Abbott, Julius Reed, wearing a baseball cap, was blending in with the bodyguards.
For high-status figures like Miguel Abbott, ordinary bodyguards wouldnât dare to scrutinize too closely.
Even though the room was filled with big shots, the bodyguards outside wouldnât be too presumptuous.
This way, Julius Reed blending in amongst them, no one could possibly notice.
âShh!â
Julius Reed gave a faint smile and asked, âHow have you been recently, Boss Yarrow?
âGood!â
For some reason, Maurice Yarrow actually felt a trace of awe in his heart.
This was something he would never have dared to imagine before.
Even when facing the other big shots of the Five-river Province, he had never felt like this.
âLetâs go in first!â
Miguel Abbott gestured and the group marched into the conference room.
âNo matter what, I must have my revenge! If you all shrink back, then I will do it myself!â
Cesar Pendleton was righteously roaring at that moment.
âGentlemen, for such an important meeting, why wasnât I called?â
Miguel Abbott pushed open the door of the conference room and sat down in one of the chairs.
âHumph! You, Mr. Abbott, are getting along so well with outsiders that we dared not deal with you!â
Stanislaus Potter snorted coldly and turned his head away.
He and Julius Reed had a deep-seated hatred, and anyone who hindered his revenge would become his opponent!
The wound of Quamaine Potter made him lose sleep and peace.
âYouâre wrong there! Brother Potter, I think you might be interested in something.â
Miguel Abbott leaned back in his chair and said with a faint smile, âAbout your sonâs matter, you must be interested, right?â
The moment he said this, Stanislaus Potterâs body jerked!
Quamaine Potter was his sore spot now, anything related could touch his raw nerve!
âMr. Abbott, if youâre joking about this, donât blame me for turning hostile!â Quamaine Potter was his untouchable scale now â touch it and die!
âAlright! Weâve been like brothers, and there are some things I donât want you to be in the dark about.â
Miguel Abbott pushed his cellphone gently on the table, sliding it towards Stanislaus Potter.
âMiguel Abbott! Your timing is perfect! Today at the Five Rivers Assembly, letâs discuss which side youâre really on!â
The elder of the Leopold family spoke out.
As the initiator of the meeting, his direct questioning left Miguel Abbott no room for retreat.
They were either friends or enemies!
There were only two paths, absolutely no third option!
Everyone held their breath, wanting to see what stance Miguel Abbott would take.
After all, it was the Abbott family who had been closest to that man recently.
âWhat stance? Am I, Miguel Abbott, not loyal enough as a friend? To tell you the truth, meeting Brother Reed was a delight missed for too long. If you dare to oppose him, you must first get past me, Mr. Abbott!â
Miguel Abbott behaved out of character, directly tearing off the veneer in the meeting room.
Even the other bosses hadnât expected Miguel Abbott to take such a firm stance!
This was tantamount to making enemies with the better half of Five-river Province!
Too direct, wasnât it!
âMiguel Abbott! What do you mean by this! Are you going to stand against us?â
The elder of the Leopold family obviously did not expect Miguel Abbott to respond this way. Slapping the table, he rebuked, âMiguel Abbott! Youâre making an enemy of the entire Five-river Province! Just to let you know, our families have already united. If you remain deluded, donât blame us for treating you as an enemy!â
His words were heavy indeed; it was almost as if they were about to start a war right there on the table.
Oftentimes, some matters are left unspoken, out of consideration for each otherâs face.
Now that the elder of the Leopold family had made his stance clear, the Leopold family was evidently determined to win at all costs!
Seeing the elderâs firm attitude, the other bosses grew resolute as well.
With the Leopold family leading the charge, they just had to follow suit, and that would be that.
Once the Abbott family fell, it would be a delectable piece of cake.
âMr. Abbott, what do you mean by this!â
Just then, Stanislaus Potter flipped open his phone, pointed at the video on the screen, âAre you trying to shame me? Thereâs no need for that!â
He threw the phone back, scoffing, âWhatâs the point of doing this?â
The video had already spread throughout Five-river Province; almost everyone had a copy.
Miguel Abbott brought it up now, and Stanislaus Potter subconsciously thought the other party was humiliating him!
âMr. Potter, didnât catch any tricks?â
Miguel Abbott asked, tilting his head.
âIâve watched this video countless times. Isnât it just my son getting beaten up, a video that spread across Five-river Province? Whatâs the point of bringing this up now!â
Stanislaus Potterâs nose twitched slightly, clearly irritated.
But he was, after all, in this place, striving to suppress his anger to keep his head clear.
âWatch it again! Pay attention to the last part!â Miguel Abbott tossed the phone over again.
âJust donât play me for a fool!â
Stanislaus Potter, half-doubtful, opened the video, skipping directly to the last segment.
Moments later, his face turned ashen!
Then, his teeth clicked in anger.
âWho would have thought, who would have thought!â
He gently placed the phone on the table, his eyes locked onto the elder of the Leopold family.
âYour Leopold family, truly duplicitous!â
As he spoke, his tone was exceedingly cold.
This moment left everyone at a loss.
Why was Stanislaus Potter, who had been fine just moments ago, lashing out at the Leopold family?
Shouldnât he be angry with Miguel Abbott instead!
âMr. Potter, have you lost your mind! What has Old Mr. Leopold done to offend you, this should be directed at Miguel Abbott!â Cesar Pendleton was utterly confused.
âSecretary, play the video!â
Stanislaus Potter held up his phone, and the secretary immediately walked over, connecting it to the projector..
