Stanislaus Potterâs people waited all night until dawn and faced no attack from the Leopold Family.
They found this very surprising.
Nerves had been taut for hours, and they still didnât dare to relax even now.
Could it be that the Leopold Family had given up?
But that was obviously impossible.
All the intelligence gathered from various sources showed that the Leopold Family would launch a frenzied attack last night.
âWithdraw everyone! â
Stanislaus Potter appeared behind Alastair Martin without notice, patted him on the shoulder, âEveryoneâs also tired. Get some good rest; there wonât be any major events happening in the near future.â
âBrother, weâre fine! The Leopold Family is watching us closely, and we must not be careless! As long as we have Fernando Leopold in our hands, the Leopold Family wonât let it go.â
Alastair Martin flatly refused.
Compared to Stanislaus Potterâs safety, their tiredness was nothing. As long as they could protect the Golden Eagle Group, it would be of great benefit to everyone.
After all, they all had interests at stake.
âThe Leopold Family wonât act anymore, the storm has passed for now, everyone rest up.â
Stanislaus Potter smiled lightly and turned back into the CEOâs office, his face instantly darkened.
Everything was just as the email had described!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Not a single detail was off!
He, on the contrary, wished it wasnât accurate, but unfortunately, there was not a single error. âWho exactly are you!â
Whiz!
He punched down on the desk, unable to stop his body from trembling.
Originally, he too thought Julius Reed was just an ordinary youth, but now, even this old fox couldnât help but deeply dread him.
Too terrifying!
And yet such a person was still his opponent.
âWhew!â
Stanislaus Potter took a deep breath and dialed Julius Reedâs number.
âMr. Potter, how are things?â
âI have to admit, youâre very strong. Everything happened just as you predicted, not a half step off. But, our grudge isnât settled!â
Every time Stanislaus Potter thought of Quamaine Potter, a rage he couldnât suppress rose in his heart.
He had always cherished this son of his the most. Now, to see him disabled, how could he as a father accept this?
âYouâre taking yourself too seriously.â
After leaving these words, Julius Reed hung up the phone, leaving Stanislaus Potter alone to space out in his office.
Through his unique network of intelligence, Stanislaus Potter already Imew that the entire Leopold Family was shaken!
Would he be next?
Thinking this, he trembled as he lit a cigarette.
At the Leopold Family villa.
Whitley Leopold sat with his eyes closed, leaning on a chair, his mind unreadable.
The rest of the Leopold Family people sat in their places looking defeated, like dogs that had lost their homes, spiritless and downcast.
The meeting had been going on for several hours, but so far, it had not concluded.
âToday is the greatest disgrace for the Leopold Family!â
As Whitley Leopoldâs voice rose, everyone sitting jerked, and they all lifted their heads to look at the helmsman.
âA century of foundation, a century of heritage!â
The elder looked over those assembled, âGone in an instant!â
No one spoke.
The Leopold Family People had tried everything they could, yet they returned in defeat.
No one was spared!
More than ten operations, all ended in complete failure.
âElder Master, thereâs definitely a mole! My plan was seamless, so how could there be an ambush en route, with such precision to take out all my staff!â Someone stood out and questioned loudly.
âIndeed! Stanislaus Potter seemed to know our plan in advance! The moment my people arrived at the designated location, they were wiped out! How is this possible? Could it be that the Potter Family People are clairvoyant?â âNow that you mention it, I also feel something is off!â
Everyone began to talk at once, speculating about who the mole could be.
âI never expected that there would be a traitor within the family! This is my oversight, please give me a little time, and I will provide everyone with an explanation!â
Whitley Leopold sighed heavily, looking much older in an instant. In the past, no matter what happened, the Leopold Family always pulled together, united as one.
But now, with the problem originating from within, it means that someone has betrayed the family.
Without capturing the traitor, the Leopold Family will fall into trouble.
âBig brother!â
At that moment, the door to the meeting room was pushed open, and Fernando Leopold walked in, trembling.
âFernando!â
Seeing Fernando Leopold, a spark flared in Whitley Leopoldâs eyes.
Initially, with the Leopold Familyâs complete defeat, he had planned to capitulate to the Potter Family, first ensuring Fernandoâs safety before hunting the mole!
But now, Fernando had unexpectedly returned on his own, which was a delightful surprise!
âFernando, did Stanislaus Potter let you go?â
Whitley Leopold rushed over and grabbed Fernandoâs hand, âI was so worried about you!â
âThereâs a traitor within Potterâs ranks too, is that Quadir Cook the one you bought over?â
Fernando asked aloud.
This question had puzzled him all night, and he was desperate for confirmation.
âIndeed! How did you know?â
Whitley Leopold raised an eyebrow and whispered, âI promised him that if he killed Stanislaus, I would help him rise to the top! But now, it seems like weâve suddenly lost contact with Quadir Cook.â
This matter was highly confidential, known to fewer than ten people.
But now with the Leopold Familyâs devastating loss, and those seated being core members, even with a mole among them, it didnât matter anymore.
Because any mole who knew all the plans would surely know about this too, wouldnât they?
âLast night, before taking action, Stanislaus received a message from a mysterious person. He immediately confronted Quadir Cook, and found Stanislausâs magic cube token on him. Afterwards, Stanislaus deployed his forces according to that information, and I fear our people were in grave danger!â
Fernandoâs frown deepened.
Now he didnât know who had that much power, to secretly help Stanislaus and even possess such thorough knowledge of the Leopold Familyâs secrets.
âDoes such a thing exist?â
Hearing Fernandoâs story, Whitley Leopold blinked and said, âNo wonder! We were supposed to work from the inside and the outside to rescue you and even had a chance to thoroughly take care of Stanislaus! Fernando, what you donât know is that our operation last night ended in complete failure, and the strength of the Leopold Family has been nearly destroyed!â
âWhat!â
Fernando was so shocked he was speechless.
âTo think that my Leopold Family would suffer such a catastrophe!â
âThereâs a mole! Iâm investigating it now. By the way, how did you escape?â
Whitley Leopold was even more concerned about how Fernando escaped from danger.
He had thought that after such a crisis, Stanislaus would be furious, even threatening Fernandoâs life.
But now, he was unharmed.
âIt was Brayden Leopold; his men rescued me.â
Fernando called out to the door, âBrayden, come in!â
As soon as he spoke, Brayden Leopold entered, head bowed.
âBrayden was afraid of your criticism, so he didnât dare to enter. Last night, amidst the chaos, he arranged for Black Dog to lead men to rescue me from Stanislaus. Without Brayden, I would probably still be in the Golden Eagle Building.â
Fernando explained with a smile to Whitley Leopold.
âWell then! Although I said you shouldnât get involved in this matter, being able to rescue Fernando is indeed a great feat! Your previous failure, and this one, I will erase them both.â
Whitley Leopold nodded, rescuing Fernando meant one less vulnerability for the Leopold Family in Potterâs hands, allowing them to be bolder in their actions.
Moreover, through this incident, he confirmed Braydenâs capabilities all over again..
