Chapter 380
The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 380 Dirty Work âHmph!â Marcus couldnât help but snort after hearing what Cedric said, displeased with the latterâs attitude.
Nonetheless, he knew very well that everyone in the Hansley family held resentment toward him.
Everyone in the Hansley family knew that the only reason Marcus became the successor was because of his daughter. Without his daughter, he wouldnât have the right to take over.
I bet these people must be secretly laughing at my daughterâs kidnapping! But fret not. As long as my daughterâs still alive, these people wonât be able to change Wilsonâs thoughts of me! Oh well, too bad nobody in this house could cure Wilsonâs illness and only my daughter managed to do so with the Phantom Grass that she brought back from the mainland.
Just when he was thinking about those things, there was suddenly a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. It was an old man in his seventies to eighties, with an alluring young woman supporting him.
âDad, why are you here?â Marcus was surprised to see the old man.
The old man wasnât any ordinary person. He was the patriarch of the Hansley family, a legend in GrongaâWilson Hansley.
Back then, he led the Hansley family from nothing to becoming one of the four prominent families in Gronga. He was the true self-made big shot.
âIf I donât come, Iâm afraid the entire house will be torn apart!â Wilson scowled. âWhatâs going on? Who took Cecilia away?â
âWe donât know yet!â
Marcus shook his head. âThe Department of Criminal Investigation had already sent someone to retrieve the surveillance footage. We reckon it wonât take long for them to find out who took Cecilia.
Once I find out who that son of a b*tch is, Iâm going to turn him to dust!â
He was the most anxious person out of the entire Hansley family when Cecilia got taken away.
It doesnât matter that my daughter has been kidnapped. But if itâs going to affect my status, Iâm doomed!
âCall Chief Warren from the Department of Criminal Investigation immediately, and have him dispatch more people to search the entire city. Tell him itâs an order from me!â Wilson demanded.
Based on his status in Gronga, commanding a chief from the Department of Criminal Investigation wasnât a big deal.
âOkay, Iâll give him a call right now.â Without another word, Marcus picked up his phone and headed out the door.
Once Marcus left, Wilson looked to the rest and asked, âDoes anyone know why Cecilia got taken away?â
âWe heard Cecilia owed him some money, and he was here to collect the debt,â said Cedric, his oldest grandchild who spoke up against Marcus earlier. âBut Cecilia said she didnât know him at all. That really angered him, so he took her away.â
âCecilia owed him money?â Hearing that, Wilson furrowed his brows. âHow much did she owe him?â
âI heard it was a few billion.â
âWhat?â Wilsonâs face turned pale. âA few billion? How did Cecilia owe him so much money?â
âWho knows?â Cedric shrugged. âMaybe he was lying? I doubt Cecilia would owe him that much money.â
âHow would you know?â A young woman next to him chimed in. âWhat if she lost her money while gambling at Durbaine? Itâs not that difficult to lose a few billion on the gambling table.â
âStop with your nonsense. Cecilia isnât a gambler!â Cedric glared at the young woman. Although I despise Cecilia to the core, I still have to pretend to be courteous in front of Grandpa.
âAll right. Forget about how Cecilia owed him money. Whatâs more important is that one of our own was kidnapped right in front of everyoneâs eyes. If this gets out there, how will the Hansley family hold its head up in Gronga in the future?â Wilson said gravely.
There were many people who wanted to see the downfall of the Hansley family.
If this is made known to the public, how will I face anyone again?
âGrandpa, not only did that guy take Cecilia away, he even killed Wayde Larson of the Larson family!â
Cedric reminded in a low voice.
âWhat did you say?â Suddenly, Wilsonâs expression drastically changed. âWayde Larson is dead?â
âYes, heâs dead.â Cedric nodded. âHe was shot by that jerk!â
âWhy didnât you mention this earlier?â Wilsonâs expression was so gloomy that it looked like a storm cloud that was going to rain.
âGrandpa, Iâve already sent someone to inform the Larson family.â Cedric thought it was strange and didnât understand why Wilson was overreacting to Waydeâs death.
âIâm asking you. Why didnât you inform me earlier?â Wilson angrily threw his cane away. âWayde died in the Hansley residence. It doesnât matter who killed him because it will now involve the Hansley family!â
âThat canât be, Grandpa!â The expression on everyoneâs face suddenly changed. âEveryone saw that jerk kill Wayde and take Cecilia away. No matter how upset the Larson family is, they wouldnât put the blame on us, would they?â
âYou know nothing!â
Wilson glared at the young man and scolded, âDo you really think that old man from the Larson family will be reasonable after knowing that his son died? Theyâre not going to let anyone or anything linked to this incident get away!â
âBut, Grandpa-â
Before Cedric could finish talking, Wilson instantly interrupted, âForget it. You donât have to say anything anymore. Immediately send people all over the city to hunt that man down. Let me know as soon as you have news about it! Also, call the governorâs office and let him know Iâm visiting.â
âYes, Grandpa.â After hearing Wilsonâs orders, Cedricâs face darkened, and he turned around to leave without saying anything else.
Everyone elseâs expression also darkened when they heard the governorâs office being mentioned.
No one would have thought this incident would involve the governorâs office of Gronga.
Not only that, Wilson was going to visit him in person.
At that moment, Marcus, who had finished making his call outside, came back. âDad, I just called Chief Warren, and he said heâll immediately send the police to search the whole city. Once they have news, theyâll let us know.â
âOkay.â
Wilson nodded and looked at him. âGive the Larson family a call. Tell them Iâll be going over to visit Julius. Wait, no. Donât call them. You need to go there and send them the message yourself on my behalf.â
âDad, you want me to go visit the Larson family?â Marcus was taken aback by Wilsonâs request.
After Wilson fell ill, their family had not kept in touch with the Larson family for years. Now heâs asking me to go visit them today?
âYes.â
A haughty smile flashed across Wilsonâs face. âWayde is Juliusâ son. Do you think heâd be able to sit still after his son got murdered?â
âDad, what are you trying to say?â Marcus blinked a few times and finally realized what he meant.
âThat guy dared to break into the Hansley residence alone and take one of our own. He even killed Wayde in front of so many people. So, I doubt heâs any good. We wonât have to worry if the Department of Criminal Investigation manages to catch him. However, if they donât, the Hansley family is going to be in big trouble!â Wilson let out a bitter laugh.
He then continued, âBut if the Larson family is taking action⦠Thatâd be different! Based on the Larsonsâ power in Gronga and around the world, Iâm afraid that guy wonât be able to escape the pursuit of the Larson family. If the Larsons make their move, that man is sure to die. This is what we call getting someone else to do the dirty work!â
