“I suggest Sir to retreat out of North Hampton immediately. Your safety is of utmost importance. That man is not someone you can afford to cross.”
The moment Winston finished speaking, everyone froze, including Sebastian.
What? You’re asking me to leave North Hampton?
“Yes. The North Hampton Chamber of Commerce agrees with Winston. North Hampton is vastly different from what you’ve imagined. You might die here,” Robinson and the other three said.
In the end, even Liam chimed in, “That’s right. You can’t afford to cross that man!”
The three powerful men of North Hampton were persuading him not to stay.
Their words were shocking.
Winston and the rest would not have said something like this in the past.
However, after seeing the contents of the painting Seth had shown them, they realized what that man’s intentions were.
If Sebastian insisted on attacking North Hampton, he was doomed for death.
Sebastian and the rest were staring at the speakers in shock.
I can’t afford to cross the Morris Group?
Is this a joke?
Other than one man in Quebec, there was no one Sebastian could not afford to cross.
Moreover, that man was now in South City, not North Hampton.
“Oh, I see.”
Abruptly, Sebastian laughed.
He finally understood why the people of North Hampton did not want him to stay; he was intruding upon their territory.
That was why these people were using the boss of Morris Group to pressure him to leave.
However, he refused to do as they say.
The more he could not afford to cross him, the more he wanted to try.
This piece of cake in North Hampton had to be his.
He was going to destroy the Morris Group and kill Levi Garrison.
Not even God could stop what Sebastian wanted to do.
Looking at the crowd, Sebastian sneered, “The theme for this banquet is simple. I’ll expand my territory into North Hampton along with everyone. If you trust me, give me a sign. From now on, your business is my business.”
Sebastian’s words were simple to understand.
He wanted everyone present to pick sides.
The time had come.
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
Liam, Winston and Eric were the first to express their stances. “We’ve retired. We no longer participate with any disputes in North Hampton.”
“Very well. And the others?”
Sebastian looked at the rest.
“I choose to follow Mr. Lopez.”
“Me too!”
……
Everyone was quick and in a hurry to stand on Sebastian’s side.
“I choose to be neutral.”
“Same!”
……
A portion of the men decided to pick no sides.
In the end, the three wealthy families that had the same standing as the Rogers family—Jenkins, Welch and the Hardy family had chosen to be neutral.
After all, their families had tens of billions. They could expand their territories by themselves.
Upon hearing these three men’s choices, Sebastian became upset.
His expression frightened the rest.
Sebastian might not go against them, but their happy days would be numbered.
Soon, each family had expressed their stances.
Half had chosen to follow after Sebastian, and most chose to be neutral.
“Who’s next?” Sebastian asked.
Everyone turned to look at Glenn.
The only one who had not expressed their stance was him.
“Mr. Glenn Rogers, what is your answer? I know you’re powerful now. Please pick your decision wisely,” Sebastian laughed.
Glenn knew what he meant.
No matter which decision he made, he would remain as Sebastian’s ultimate archenemy.
Now, the decision he would make was important.
It was time for him to pick sides.
If he chose to be neutral, Sebastian would not target him.
However, he would not pick neutral, and neither would he choose to follow after Sebastian.
“I choose to stand on Morris Group’s side.”
