Scott closed his eyes in despair.
It’s all gone!
They had not expected such a swift ending.
The coffin they carried was indeed meant for him.
“Your biggest mistake was to attack North Hampton, or else you would still be able to live.”
Scott was jolted when he heard Levi’s voice.
Opening his eyes, he asked Levi, “Before I die, can you tell me your identity?”
Suddenly, Theo interrupted with a trembling voice, “Sir… I know who they are!”
“What?” Scott asked.
“It’s North Hampton! Who can’t we afford to offend in North Hampton?” Theo reminded.
When Scott saw the wolf riders, he exclaimed, “Are those the infamous Cavalry Regiment? Does that mean he’s… the God of War!”
Scott caught his breath as he mentioned the name of the supreme warrior.
He had not expected it at all.
It was no wonder that the head of the Morris Group was a mystery, and no information could be found about him.
The only rumor they heard was that no one knew where he was from.
It didn’t matter, since he was the legend himself.
Instantly, Scott was filled with regret.
He despised the fact that Sebastian had provoked him to lead his army out.
Finally, the incident that had caused so much panic dissipated just like that, and no one was the wiser.
There were many rumors that perceived the incident as a fabrication. Scott had never gathered ten thousand men in the first place.
No such thing ever happened.
Nevertheless, one rumor was absolutely true. Scott had disappeared.
Overnight, Quebec’s underworld was wiped out.
Something that couldn’t be done over more than ten years was accomplished within one night.
The masses were cheering in joy.
After all, Scott and his men were like parasites, and they had continuously terrorized the populace.
When Levi had men investigate Scott’s assets, it came up to over a hundred billion.
He ordered all the money to be used for charity. Whoever dared to abuse it, he would personally hold them accountable.
With that, the populace cheered the decision.
Such a popular decision would certainly increase the cohesion within the city’s residents.
Now, the Morris Group’s objective was to continue developing North Hampton and spend the funds for the benefit of the populace.
Meanwhile, Jesse asked Levi if he was interested to go to South City and develop Quebec.
However, Levi rejected him for the time being as he still wanted to stay by Zoey’s side.
He had told his wife that he wished to give her the future she wanted.
Therefore, he would only move to South City if that were what Zoey longed for.
After the battle, South City and all the other cities’ family-run industries operated in peace.
Everyone was aware that North Hampton was untouchable, and therefore no one dared to attack it.
If they did go there, it would be to develop North Hampton first while profits were secondary.
Hence, the development of North Hampton accelerated very quickly.
One day, Azure Dragon went to see Levi.
“Do you still remember Scott’s hundred billion worth in assets?” Azure Dragon asked.
“I do. What about it? Did someone abuse the funds?” Levi frowned as he asked.
Azure Dragon shook his head, “It’s actually worse. Someone discreetly acquired the company’s assets. The eighty billion that was meant to be invested in public charities are all gone!”
“What? How did that happen? Did someone secretly siphon the money out?” Levi exclaimed in shock.
How could the funds I had specifically earmarked encounter such a problem?
“Have you investigated it thoroughly?” Levi inquired.
“More or less. The one responsible is the largest company in Quebec, the Triple Group from Keerea. They acquired the company and accessed the eighty billion!” Azure Dragon explained.
