Chapter 247: Blood Reapers’ Leader Candidate

“I remember that over a week ago, I instructed you to make a move on Sky Technologies. You were supposed to deal with the owner of Sky Technologies, so that we can buy the entire company.

But it has been such a long time, yet there is no response at all. What? You think that I can tell you what you need to do, and you can just ignore it?” Inside a familiar setting, a young man was seated behind a desk, gazing at a man standing in front of him.

This young man had his short hair dyed red, with blue eyes. He had a medium build, but had an arrogant expression on his face at the moment, though it was filled with anger and displeasure.

The person standing in front of him was a man with a clean shaven chin and a mustache, with the bald head. He was wearing a down coat, despite the slightly above room temperature of the room.

In his hand, he was holding a cap, which usually rests on his head, with its tip slightly lowered to cover his face.

And at this moment, this entire office was lit up, with no darkness that usually hid his appearance.

This person was none other than Hudson, the leader of the Dark Society, who used Thomas as pawn to run the gang in his stead, while he gave commands from the dark.

Usually, he is the one holding the power and authority, being able to command Thomas as he wanted. But at this moment, his expression was full of respect for the young man in front of him.

“Young master Brian, it is not that I did not want to take action. But, it is impossible to be able to take down Sky Technologies, at least with the abilities that I have.

I have already done my research, and the owner of Sky Technologies might be related to the Santos family. If Sky Technologies is a business by the Santos family, it is impossible for my small gang to be able to do anything to it.” Hudson took a deep breath before he responded.

“Are you kidding me? Are you trying to tell me that the Santos family decided to get themselves involved in the technology industry? And instead of doing it in the capital, they decided to do it in this small place?

If not for the fact that I am interested with the staff that Sky Technologies has, I would not have bothered with such small company. And, it has incredible potential.

So, instead of poaching them, I would rather they continue staying there, and I’ll just buy the company instead. Remember, we are buying, not seizing.” Brian was unconvinced, as he stated coldly.

There was not even a single time that he had attempted to get his hands on something and failed. So, no matter the reason, he could not accept failure.

In his heart, he thought, even if this was a business by the Santos family, then so what? He believed that as long as the price was right, they would sell.

If they refused, there were other methods that could be used in order to make them sell it. And at that time, they might even sell it for just a dollar, instead of millions of dollars.

Just as Hudson was about to say something, Brian cut him off as he asked, “By the way, if this company is related to the Santos family, why did you not inform me in advance? Did you just have to wait for me to come here personally, so that you can tell me?

You could have called, to let me know, so that I could make preparations before I arrive here. Now, I will have to stay in this godforsaken place for quite a while, in order to just deal with something as small as this.”

“I have yet to confirm if it is truly related to the Santos family. But from the information that I have, the owner is called Michael Santos.

I have been trying to investigate his identity, but until now, I have not yet managed to find anything. It is as though he is not a member of the Santos family from the capital.” Hudson explained.

“Michael Santos? I have never really heard of that name before. I possess quite some information on the Santos family. But even then, I have never heard of this person.

Clearly, this person just shares the same surname. Is that what made you scared to take action?” Brian contemplated for a moment as he commented, before he asked with raised brows.

Even though he had never worked with Hudson before, he knew much about him. Every member of the Blood Reapers syndicate, at least those leaders of the gangs at the provincial level, he had the information on them.

According to what he understood of Hudson, this guy was ruthless. If he wanted to do something, he would do it with all possible means, to make sure that it happened.

Recently, he had already made the Crow gang, a gang under the Silent order syndicate to suffer quite big losses.

And with that, the advantage that the shadow society originally had increased even further. It was only a matter of time before the Crow gang was completely eliminated from the eastern province.

And by then, the other small gangs below it could be easily uprooted, increasing the influence of the Blood Reapers syndicate.

But that was something that Brian was not concerned with. In any case, the eastern province wasn’t one of the biggest provinces within the nation.

So, even if it was completely conquered by the blood reapers syndicate, it would not bring them many benefits, apart from some advantages.

This might be the reason why the silent order did not react to this attack, despite some time having already gone by. Most probably, the silent order syndicate was planning something else, with the intention of abandoning the eastern province.

Still, while the two syndicates could roll the underworld of all the provinces, it was different when it came to legitimate businesses. And one of them was Sky Technologies.

Ever since Sky Technologies began making waves, Brian had already began paying attention to it. And with the recent product launches, he understood that this company had incredible potential.

That was why he had instructed Hudson to take action, so that he could take over Sky Technologies. But until now, it had not yet succeeded, something that left Brian both furious and frustrated.

“Young master, I believe that you already know about the incidents involving both the green family and the Kingsley family?” Hudson asked.

“What about them? Is there any relationship between how does families ended up being dealt with, to the acquisition of Sky Technologies?” Brian asked impatiently.

For now, he did not want to bother with anything else related to the eastern province, apart from Sky Technologies.

With the fact that he was trying to compete for the position of the next leader of the Blood Reapers syndicate, he needed a foundation.

By now, he already had quite a number of companies under him. But, he understood that this was not enough. After all, the person that he was competing against was not simple either.

Still, he believed, as long as he could acquire Sky Technologies, and allow it to develop, it would be easy for him to be able to secure the position of the next leader of the syndicate.

Hearing the question, Hudson quickly responded, “Absolutely. Actually, this Michael Santos owns Annex Supermarket chain, the biggest supermarket chain within the Eastern province. And, recently, I heard that they are making plans of expanding to the other provinces.

Previously, it was after the destruction of the Kingsley family that Annex supermarket chain suddenly began making big moves. It is inevitable that the owner of this supermarket chain, Michael Santos, was related with the destruction of the Kingsley family.

Then, for the Green family, it turned out that the young master of this family had a conflict with Michael Santos. And with that, the Green family was destroyed in the same way as the Kingsley family was.

Coincidentally, previously, the two families were part of my plan, in dealing with the Crow gang. Initially, it was the Kingsley family, but after they were dealt with, I had to do with the Green family. Who knew that they would also end up being destro-”

Hudson wanted to continue speaking when he was suddenly cut off by Brian’s impatient voice, “You know what, I don’t want all this nonsense. All that I want is the acquisition of Sky Technologies. Can you make it happen or not?

I don’t care if he owns some supermarket chain or anything like that, all that I want is that company. So, don’t bother with me with that nonsense.”

At this point, Hudson was left speechless. He was just trying to explain to Brian about Michael’s power. This way, at least, Brian would know who they were dealing with.

Unexpectedly, Brian was not interested in this. Was this confidence or arrogance? To this, Hudson had no answer.

Still, he gritted his teeth and said, “Currently, we don’t understand the background of this person called Michael Santos.

We have already tried some other methods, such as trying to poach the top experts of Sky Technologies, to make them agree to sell, but those experts do not budge no matter the offer given.

But, things suddenly got out of hand 2 days ago, when I sent two of my most trusted men to kidnap one of the scientists of Sky Technologies.”
