Chapter 1268

Haze’s gaze was resentful and provoking. “Did you forget that the Hunt family suffered a terrible loss these past two years, which your family only managed to resolve by having an alliance marriage with the Murphy family? Now you’re facing so many enemies, and yet you still claim that Beach City is ruled by the Hunt family.”

‘Yes, the Hunt family has a lot of enemies, and it’s fine if your family is one of them too. Come at me then, if you really think I’m so powerless.”

The two men glared at each other icily, and the atmosphere became tense and dangerous.

Stuck in the middle, Renee was forced to mediate the situation. “Okay, there’s no need to argue like children. Take a step back and it’ll be a win-win situation. Isn’t that nice? There are so many resources for you guys to share, so one will be left out. You guys don’t have to fight against each other, both of you will suffer losses this way.”

The Hunt and the Baldwin families had been sworn enemies for the past few decades, but the Everheart family had mediated the situation between them so they had not gotten into any conflict so far.

Renee did not wish to see them fight against each other when their families had been at peace with each other for so many years. “The Hunt and Baldwin families have different territories. Just develop your area well, and you’ll get your own profit. There’s no need to fight, and maybe you can even cooperate to create a win-win situation…” Renee earnestly tried to persuade them.

Haze looked at Renee and said firmly, “You’re wrong. My family is filthy rich, so I’m not fighting him for the money.” He then looked at Stefan. “Mr. Hunt, I don’t mind losing money if you’re willing to let me have what I want.”

Stefan narrowed his eyes and sneered menacingly, “Try and snatch it if you can, but cut the crap if you can’t.”

Renee was worried that they might fight each other, so she hurriedly said, “Haze, wait for me. I’ll speak to him for a while.”

Haze was fuming with anger and was about to fight Stefan, but this was the first time Renee had considered his feelings and explained herself to him, so he was no longer angry. Smirking, he said triumphantly, “Sure, go on then. I’ll wait for you here until you come back.”

Renee sighed helplessly. ‘Haze always makes things so awkward.’

Stefan impatiently dragged Renee away, and they soon arrived at a spacious and remote area.
