Chapter 1016 Acquiring Their Businesses
Leviathan straightened his back and shouted, “U-Understood!”
Both Josephine and Lizbeth were confused as to when Shadow Estate became one of Jared’s forces, but they knew better than to question him about it. Being his women, they would only support him unconditionally.
With the two of them accompanying Leviathan, Jared no longer had to worry about Thunderstorm Sect and the Shalvis family causing any more trouble.
Shortly after Leviathan left, Jared got up and headed toward the Bailey family residence.
Since Jared was planning on gaining a foothold in Jadeborough, he needed some help from the Bailey family to achieve that. Although the Baileys weren’t all that influential in Jadeborough’s martial arts world, they did own a lot of businesses and made a name for themselves in the business industry.
Samuel had a solemn expression as he sat in the living room of the Bailey residence. Sitting alongside him were other high-ranking members of the Bailey family.
“Tristan, did you manage to find the information I asked you to?” Samuel asked.
“No one knows how Jared is doing, Grandpa. Judging by the announcement made by the Warriors Alliance, Jared was severely wounded by Warren. I doubt he’ll be making a full recovery any time soon…” Tristan replied with his head held low.
Samuel let out a helpless sigh upon hearing that.
I placed everything the Bailey family has on Jared because I know about his background in spiritual energy cultivation. However, it would appear that he is still too weak at the moment. Maybe he didn’t have enough time to develop his strength…
“Samuel, I think you should hurry up and make a decision. Sean is probably coming for us soon!” said one of the high-ranking members.
“What’s there to decide? We’ve been enemies with the Cooper family since forever! If it’s our businesses that they’re after, then they can dream on! We’ll take them head-on if they come for us!” Tristan shouted angrily through clenched teeth.
The Cooper family had started causing the Bailey family trouble ever since the Warriors Alliance put the word out about Jared being severely wounded. They demanded that the Bailey family hand over all of their businesses and leave Jadeborough within three days.
“Tristan, now isn’t the time to be saying such things. While we are capable of taking Sean on, you must keep in mind that Sylvester has returned as well! He’s capable of annihilating us all by himself, so we’re no match for him at all!” said another high-ranking member.
Tristan fell silent after hearing that because he knew it was all true. Sylvester was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, so wiping out the Bailey family would be a piece of cake for him.
While everyone continued to brainstorm in silence, someone could be heard laughing maniacally all of a sudden.
“Hahaha! Your three days are up, old man! Have you made up your mind yet? What’s it going to be? Will you surrender your businesses and leave Jadeborough, or would you prefer to die instead?” Sean asked arrogantly as he waltzed into the living room with a group of men.
He then had one of them bring him a chair before sitting down in front of Samuel.
The frown on Samuel’s face eased up slightly when he saw that Sean didn’t come with Sylvester.
“Sean, I know our families don’t exactly get along well, but there’s no need for things to end like this. Don’t you think you’re pushing it a little too far by driving us out of Jadeborough? Aren’t you afraid of the Warriors Alliance punishing your family for this?” Samuel asked coldly.
Sean burst out laughing again. “Hahaha! Are you actually senile or something, old man? Did you really think I’d dare do such a thing without permission from above? Do keep in mind that Jared has gotten on the Warriors Alliance’s bad side, and your family is closely affiliated with him. As such, the Warriors Alliance has instructed us to take over your businesses, so don’t you even think about threatening me with that!”
