âBig brother. â
Looking at Maurice Yarrowâs expectant face on the screen, Bridger Davenport felt bitter inside.
âHow did it go? Was Aron Jackson wiped out?â On the other end of the phone, a deep voice sounded. âBig brother, we took a beating!â
Bridger hung his head, his face etched with bitterness.
The Three Blade Groupâs strategist and the manager of the Gonzalez City branch had bungled the job on their own turf.
Bridger himself couldnât accept such a result.
And accompanying them had been Noah Miller, one of the top three fighters within the group.
Yet, they still lost, utterly and completely!
âWhat! Say that again?â
On the other side of the video call, Maurice Yarrowâs eyes revealed disbelief!
âBridger, you little bastard, you dare jest with big brother? Speak up, did we succeed or not!â
Subconsciously, he thought Bridger was joking with him.
After all, how could they fail with Noah Miller, a heavy hitter of the Three Blade Group, having rushed to Gonzalez City?
Let alone, there had been no failure whenever Old Man Miller the Weirdo took action.
âTake a look for yourself!â
Bridger turned the camera to show the Three Blade Group members groaning in pain on the ground, Gerrard Cook tied to a chair, Noah Miller lying half-dead on the floor, and Julius Reed standing with a smile on his face, hands clasped behind his back.
Lastly, he pointed the camera at his own broken leg, the blood having soaked his trousers and even stained his shoes.
âThe opponent was too strong, we did our best.â
Bridger sat back down in the chair, weakly smiling and saying, âIâm sorry for letting you down.â
In the screen, Maurice Yarrowâs face was ashen, his heart reeling like a stormy sea.
After a short silence, he spoke up, âWho did it? Aron Jackson is strong, but heâs not capable of this.â
Maurice well knew Noah Millerâs combat prowess.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have spent a fortune to enlist the old demon.
As Aron Jacksonâs old rival, he had probed Jacksonâs strength before. While Jackson might not be inferior to Miller, the idea that he could reduce Miller to this state was impossible!
Not to mention who would have the edge in a fight, if Miller wanted to flee, nobody could stop him!
At least, nobody he knew of could stop him!
âBoss Yarrow thinks too little of me, Aron Jackson, but you guessed right; my brother was the one who took action!â
Aron Jackson snatched the phone and greeted Maurice in the screen, âBoss Yarrow, you really do remember to eat but not the thrashings, last time I made you crawl out like a dog, do you plan to end up like a dead dog this time?â
âShut up!â
Struck on a sore point, Maurice Yarrow roared like an outraged lion, angrily shouting, âAron Jackson! Leave some leeway in life! Speak, what are your terms!â
The exchange between the two was heard crystal clear by the members of the Three Blade Group in the warehouse.
Even Bridger was slightly taken aback, before an expression of sudden realization dawned on him.
Reflecting on the past interactions between Maurice Yarrow and Aron Jackson, and considering the subsequent actions, he seemed to grasp the kind of deal that had taken place between the two men.
Now, when he looked at Aron Jackson, his gaze carried something different.
âTen billion!â
Hearing the other side start to negotiate, Julius Reed blurted out. If the Three Blade Group dared to trouble them, they had to pay a price.
âWho are you!â
On the other end of the phone, Maurice Yarrowâs brow furrowed, speaking with a hostile tone, âIs this how Aron Jackson teaches his employees? No sense of decorum at all! When bosses are talking, itâs not your place to interrupt!â In the group, status was of utmost importance.
Only the bosses were entitled to converse; other employees could only stand aside.
âThe cause of todayâs incident is that your Three Blade Group has offended my brother,â
Aron Jackson shrugged slightly with a spectatorâs expression on his face.
Julius Reed may be the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, but heâs merely an employee, not even significant enough to be considered a brother, yet he dares to call himself the elder brother?
But in front of outsiders, he could not reveal this secret.
âBoss Yarrow, when I, Aron Jackson, do things, I have my reasons. Todayâs incident was purely to vent anger for my brother, so I wonât interfere with your negotiations,â
It was clear from Aron Jacksonâs words that the decision-making power today was not in his hands.
And Maurice Yarrow obviously didnât know who Julius Reed was, but he was equally certain of one thing, anyone who could defeat Noah Miller was by no means simple!
And so young, too!
He looked to be just over twenty, how terrifying! âWhat exactly is going on? How did I provoke this young brother?â
Maurice Yarrow sensed something was amiss.
He had been struggling against Aron Jackson for three years and had come to understand him somewhat.
Although they were opponents, he had to admit, Aron Jackson could be described as open and aboveboard.
When this incident occurred, Maurice Yarrow subconsciously thought that Aron Jackson couldnât hold back and wanted to monopolize Gonzalez City.
But now it seemed there must be other reasons.
âBig brother! Gerrard Cook took on a bounty behind your back to kill this brother! As a result, Ignacio Cook went to handle the task and died, which made this brother turn his anger on us!â
Bridger Davenport shouted into the phone.
Under someone elseâs roof, he had no choice but to sacrifice a pawn to save the king, offering up Gerrard Cook to save himself.
âWhat! Give the phone to Gerrard Cook!â
Hearing Bridger Davenportâs words, Maurice Yarrow was startled and then turned furious!
Now, hearing that his branch manager had accepted a bounty in secret and brought disaster upon the group, how could he not be angry!
âGerrard Cook! I have always been good to you! With millions in bonuses each year, are you still not satisfied?â
Maurice Yarrow roared furiously, âYou not only violated the groupâs regulations but also brought shame to our group! Sent your colleagues from the branch office to their deaths!â
Gerrard Cook bowed his head, his eyes full of despair.
As the manager of Gonzalez City, he knew what he was facing.
âYoung brother, now that youâve injured so many people, we should be even, right?â
Maurice Yarrow was very angry, but his primary task was to rescue his people trapped in Gonzalez City.
âLet my people go, and I wonât pursue todayâs matter any further, we both step back, how does that sound!â
âTen billion, not a penny less, or you can come collect the bodies,â Julius Reed shook his head, not paying attention to his words at all.
âKid, donât overreach yourself!â
Maurice Yarrow gritted his teeth, âIf you want to stand up to my Three Blade Group, you better weigh your own strength first!â
âCollect the bodies!â
Julius Reed said flatly, slowly walking towards Bridger Davenport.
âTen billion! Give me your account number!â Maurice Yarrow yelled through gritted teeth.
He had no choice but to submit.
âYou have thirty minutes, â
Julius Reed took out a black card from his pocket and recited the card number to Maurice Yarrow.
âI hope you keep your word!â
After finishing his sentence, Maurice Yarrow hung up the video call, grinding his teeth..
