Chapter 265: Scared Off

Charles looked at his son as he said, “You should know, for big families, sometimes, marriage is just a tool. It can be used to make sure that the family grows bigger and stronger, or to secure some benefits.

Just our Morgan family, a local in the eastern province, we are doing this. What would make you believe that those giants from the central province would not?

Even the richest person in the world still wants to get richer than they already are. So, why would those big families not want to grow stronger?

So, in my view, even though Michael previously said that he was the one who could make the final decision on the issue of his marriage, I doubt that. It might just be the hot-headedness of the youth, but when it really comes to the matter, he would have to give in eventually.

If the family makes the final decision on the issue, it would be almost impossible for him to be able to overturn that decision.

And if he insists, what would happen if, since the family loves him, and they cannot end up beating him, they decide to target us instead?

As long as Kate is eliminated from the picture, what other choice would Michael have other than to marry the person that they have arranged for him?

That is why I thought, it is not wise to push this matter, trying to force it to happen. Let it happen naturally.

If it works, then that’s great. If not, there is no need to force things. At least, we are in a good relationship at the moment, and there is no need to ruin it just because of greed for more.

Just the benefits that we have already gained ever since we began working with Michael, they exceed several years of effort. And as time goes on, as long as we continue cooperating, there would be much more benefits.”

Listening to his father’s analysis, John realized the crux of the matter. Just as Charles had said, someone with a big background like Michael, it was inevitable that the family would be strict.

They could allow Michael to mess around all that he wanted, but when it came to finally settling down, they might be the ones to make the final decision.

So, maybe, at the moment, Michael was just enjoying a lot of freedom. But later on, when it comes to the issue of the marriage, he would realize that he did not have the freedom at all.

John could only shake his head, feeling slightly disappointed. But even then, his attitude changed, becoming positive. He understood, they had already benefited a lot.

Even if they could not get closer than they had already, there would not be much of a problem. At least, with the way that things were progressing, it was only a matter of time before they could finally break into the central province.

Just imagining how it would be like, when they finally succeeded in breaking into the central province, a smile emerged on John’s face.

Charles, seeing the smile that was on John’s face, he could only shake his head slightly. But even then, he believed that his son had already understood what he was trying to imply.

…

Of course, the issue concerning the fall of the two top gangs in the eastern province was all orchestrated by Michael.

With Brian being dealt with, he decided that it would be better to uproot those two gangs at the same time.

Understanding that the police would not be able to handle the two gangs at the same time, he decided to set the two gangs against each other.

With crow, having already been suppressed for several days now, if given an opportunity, they would definitely not miss it.

That was why Michael deliberately revealed the information on dark society, but mainly those areas that this information was not revealed to the police.

In this way, the dark society faced a two-pronged attack, leaving no way of defending.

As for the issue of crow taking advantage of the situation to grow stronger, Michael would obviously not allow that. So, the moment that crawl came to know that the police was also taking action against dark society, they had no other choice but to retreat.

It was just that, they would never have expected that despite them retreating, the police would actively come looking for them. And in the end, their fate was the same as that of the dark society.

As for the information on Crow, this was something that Michael had sent to the police chief’s computer while they were busy with the operation of dealing with dark society.

And since the police were already out, the chief decided that they would deal with the two gangs consecutively, catching them off-guard.

But of course, it was impossible to hide the information regarding the movements of the police, especially if the entire province was actually mobilized.

So, as the news spread, they eventually reached the central province, eventually reaching the two syndicates. When the leaders of the two syndicates got the news, at first, they were stunned.

But in the next moment, they were furious. While it might be true that the small gangs in the Eastern province were not something that they really paid much attention to, they were still important to the development of the syndicates.

The supply of drugs, human trafficking and so on, they mostly depended on those small gangs. Now that the gangs have been eliminated, was this not the same as crippling the two syndicates?

Were the police expecting them, the leaders of the syndicates, to go around the streets selling drugs? That was impossible. So, they furiously took action, making calls, trying to understand why this had happened.

Of course, with the connections that they had with the government, it was quite easy for them to be able to reach the higher ups of the police department.

And of course, with the pressure, those higher ups immediately contacted the police chief in Brenton city. Facing the questioning from above, the police chief in Brenton city was sweating buckets.

He had already anticipated that something like this would happen, especially considering that he had basically cleared out most of the gangs in the eastern province.

It was just that, he really never expected that his superiors would be so furious that they would threaten him with suspension. It was not just that, they also made several claims, such as affecting the economy and so on.

This left the police chief nearly in tears. For him to be able to obtain this position, he had put in a lot of work. He started as an ordinary police, working so hard, and through luck and effort, he was able to be promoted until he got to the position that he was in.

But now, facing a situation where he was forced to act, he was actually being reprimanded by his superiors. And that was especially despite him acting according to what was expected of him as a police.

In the end, due to all the pressure that he was facing, the police chief had no other choice but to reveal everything. And when the information was revealed of what had happened and why he had taken action against those gangs, the higher ups finally cooled down.

They also began understanding that this issue was much more complicated than they had expected.

They remembered the issue related to the Kingsley family and the green family. All the dirt on the two families was exposed on several platforms, causing chaos all over.

And the one behind all this, it was clear that they were extremely skilled, to the extent that even those in the tech department of the big companies could not even solve the issue at all.

Lucky for them, the one behind that incident did not have the intention of dealing with those major companies. Otherwise, it would be easy for that person to be able to cripple all those companies, causing them huge losses.

Now that they understood this, the anger that they had within them finally cooled down. And, they began thinking of what to say about this matter.

It was clearly impossible to be able to tell who it was that was behind this, and what kind of conflict this person had against the two syndicates.

But in any case, they understood one thing. No matter what, they could not get themselves involved in this matter. Otherwise, if they were targeted, and all the dart on them was exposed, would they not be finished?

So, the leaders of the two syndicates received a feedback after waiting. It was just that, the response that they received was not what they were waiting for, leaving them furious.

But even then, they were left puzzled, not understanding what was going on. If it had just been one gang and the small gangs below it being targeted, it could be associated to the other syndicate.

But with both the two syndicates suffering losses, it was clear that this was a common enemy of the two syndicates. It was just that, ever since the two syndicates began clashing against each other, they had not really offended anyone else outside, with such power.

In the end, they contacted each other, deciding to meet the following day, to understand what was really going on. Maybe if they could list all the enemies that they had, they could find the enemy that they had in common, and see if that enemy had the capability of doing so much damage to them like this.
