Chapter 1017 No Other Choice
Sean’s words caused Samuel to go pale from shock. If he is telling the truth about this being the Warriors Alliance’s instructions, then our family really is done for!
“Quit making things up, Sean! I don’t believe a single word you just said, and we won’t hand over our businesses either!” Tristan shouted defiantly.
Those words had barely left his mouth when a loud boom was heard outside the mansion. The next thing they knew, one of the Bailey family’s mansions came crumbling down.
Sylvester made his way into the living room moments later, and Sean quickly offered up his chair upon seeing him.
“If you refuse to do as you’re told, all of you here will end up like that mansion outside.”
Sylvester’s aura was so domineering that Tristan went pale and slumped against the floor instantly.
After all, a mere Grandmaster like him couldn’t possibly withstand the aura of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
The look on Samuel’s face was extremely nasty when he saw that.
“I hope you’ll give us more time. We have way too many businesses under our name, so you wouldn’t be able to manage them all even if we did hand them all over at once,” he said in an attempt to stall for more time.
“Don’t even bother trying to stall for time, old man! We have people capable of handling things here, so just hand it all over to us!” Sean shouted at him before shifting his gaze toward one of the Bailey family’s high-ranking members as he asked, “Treyson, are you capable of managing the Bailey family’s businesses?”
Treyson, a gentle-looking middle-aged man, quickly stepped forward and replied, “Of course I can, Mr. Cooper. I know each and every one of the Bailey family’s businesses like the back of my hand. Here’s a list of their businesses for your reference.”
Treyson then handed Sean a document, but Sean didn’t even bother to go through it. Instead, he simply flashed Samuel a gleeful grin in response.
Samuel went livid with rage and started trembling uncontrollably when he saw that.
“Grandpa!”
Tristan rushed forward quickly and held him steady.
After taking some time to regain his composure, Samuel shot Treyson a furious glare as he said, “Treyson, the Bailey family has been extremely generous and kind to you! How dare you betray us like this?”
“One must learn to adapt in order to survive, Mr. Bailey. Given this situation, the Bailey family has no means of standing up to the Cooper family at all! I think you should just hand over your businesses and leave Jadeborough like you’re told. At the very least, you’ll be able to walk out of here alive,” Treyson replied with a faint smile.
“You…”
Samuel was so mad that he coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot.
“Grandpa!” Tristan exclaimed anxiously as he patted Samuel on the back.
“D-Do you all feel the same way about this too?” Samuel asked while pointing at the other high-ranking members with a trembling hand.
The high-ranking members exchanged glances in silence before stepping over toward Sean.
Samuel was so upset that he coughed up yet another mouthful of blood upon seeing that.
Sean burst out laughing arrogantly as he said, “Hahaha! You see this, old man? These guys know what’s good for them! I suggest you do the same and spare us all the extra trouble!”
Devastated by the betrayal of his men, Samuel could only tremble uncontrollably in silence.
With everything the way it is, what else could I possibly do except hand over our family’s businesses?
Samuel looked like he had aged ten years in an instant when he closed his eyes and said helplessly, “Tristan, go get the seal…”
“Grandpa, are we seriously going to just hand over our family’s businesses?” Tristan asked through clenched teeth.
It pained him deeply to see Samuel in such a state.
“Yeah, just do it. What other choice do we have?” Samuel replied while waving at him.
Tristan had no choice but to fetch Samuel his seal like he was told.
“I said I’d protect the Bailey family, so you should at least seek my opinion before trying to extort them like this!” Jared said as he slowly made his way into the living room.
