Chapter 266: Newton’s Decision, A New Visitor

Newton sat in the study of his villa, his brows furrowed. He was having a headache, to the extent that he rubbed his temple from time to time, as if by doing that, it would ease it.

But as he continued thinking, veins began booking up on his forehead, and eventually, he just slammed his palm on top of the desk as he stood up in anger.

Ever since he got the feedback on the issue regarding Crow gang in the eastern province, he realized that something big was happening.

Initially, he was busy with other things, which was why he was not paying much attention to the gang, despite knowing that it was facing difficulties. He was planning to finish what he was dealing with for a while, and immediately after that, he would provide the required support.

Just like blood reapers syndicate, he wanted to eliminate the hand that the blood reapers syndicate had in the eastern province. If he could completely dominate the entire Eastern province, it would be greatly beneficial.

But the elimination of the two gangs in the eastern province completely changed his plans. Now, he was trying so hard to think of who he might have offended recently.

But as much as he could think, he could not remember any instance where he had offended someone. Most probably, this was just a coincidence?

Or was it possible that the two gangs had actually provoked someone that they should not have, and they ended up being uprooted?

That was the only possibility that he could think of. But even then, it was not as though the leaders of those two gangs were idiots.

Both leaders came from the Central province, and they understood the forces within the central province quite well. So, they would definitely not do something as stupid as offending a big force within the central province.

The two syndicates had power, that was true. But at the same time, they still had to be careful of other forces within the central province, especially the capital.

For the time being, it was impossible to be able to contact the leader of Crow gang, considering that the guy was already taken into custody by the police.

It seemed that he would have to use other methods in order to be able to reach him, so that he could understand the reason why they had been targeted. This was something that could not happen coincidentally.

Despite all this, there was something else that was bothering him. That was the issue regarding Henry.

That kid, after the last time that they talked, he had been busy investigating about the deaths of Zachary and Cynthia.

That was not the problem, considering that he understood that Henry would not be able to find anything anyway. It was just that, by doing what he was doing, it might end up letting the old man know about it.

The thing that Newton did not want to see happening was the old man getting to know that Zachary had already passed away. Currently, the old man was the pillar of the silent order syndicate.

Even though he had left most of the responsibilities of the syndicate to Newton, he was still the main force. Some of the things required his approval before they could be done.

So, if he suddenly fell, blood reapers who would definitely take the chance in order to deal with them. But apart from them, there was yet another force that was putting them at a stalemate.

It was the family that was behind the lady who had liked Zachary back then. Until now, she had never gotten married. Still, she held quite a lot of resentment towards Zachary, and was still waiting for him.

It was just that, recently, they had been putting a lot of pressure on the silent order syndicate. It seemed that they had heard rumors from somewhere that the members of the Santos family knew where Zachary was.

It was a good thing that this family did not join hands with the blood reapers syndicate. Otherwise, if they really joined hands, the silent order syndicate and the Santos family would be completely done for.

Previously, the old man had arranged for Zachary and the lady to get married. One of the reasons was because the lady was willing to get married to Zachary. Well, truthfully speaking, she was the one who wanted to get married to Zachary.

As for the other reason, with the inclusion of this family, just the collaboration between the two forces, it would be easy for them to be able to deal with the blood reapers syndicate.

But with Zachary’s disappearance, any form of collaboration between the two forces had fallen through. Until now, they did not have much dealings with each other, mostly focusing on their own things.

Most probably, what was keeping them at bay, making it so that they don’t take drastic actions against the Santos family was mostly the old man.

The old man had quite a number of connections, but they were bound to him alone. It was not something that the Santos family could borrow.

This was exactly why he was considered as the pillar of the Santos family and the silent order syndicate. If he passed away, the silent order syndicate would collapse, and so would the Santos family.

’I would have to get that kid back here. It doesn’t matter if he would not understand me or misunderstand me, whatever the case, we cannot allow the old man to know about this.

If anything happens to the old man, it would be big trouble.’ Newton thought to himself.

Then, gazing at the door, he called out, “Bob, come in for a moment.”

The door of the study opened a few seconds later, before the bald-headed green-eyed and muscular Bob entered the room.

“Boss, do you have any instructions?” Bob asked as soon as he arrived in front of Newton’s desk.

“I want you to do something, but you have to make sure that nobody knows about it. I want you to make contact with Michael, so that we can make him vanish.

It doesn’t matter if he has to leave the country, or if he has to stay in the dark, but no matter the method, we have to make sure that nobody can find him.

That way, no matter what happens later on, as long as that kid is not found, there would be no evidence.”

“Boss, what about silencing him forever? I think that is the most efficient method. As long as he is dealt with, and all evidence is cleared out, I believe that nobody would be able to find anything about him.” Bob suddenly suggested.

Newton thought about it for a moment, but in the end, he shook his head. He said, “At the end of the day, he is still my nephew. So, just find a way of getting him out of here, and the best thing to do would be to send him out of the country.

Just make sure that he does not come to any harm while you are doing this. And, remember, nobody is supposed to know about this matter, apart from yourself. So, if someone else knows about it, you know what to do.”

“Yes, boss. Don’t worry, I will take care of the matter as soon as possible.” Bob responded before he swiftly left the study.

Newton on the other hand had a complicated look in his eyes, as he collapsed on the chair behind the desk. His mind wondered to the memories that he had shared with Zachary, ever since they were young.

In the end, he let out a sigh. “I’m sorry brother, it seems that I will have to play the villain to the end. Even the son that you left behind, he unfortunately cannot come back to the family. If he does, what will happen next would be chaotic, and the entire Santos family would be finished.”

….

The following morning, Michael woke up, but unexpectedly, the moment that he did, he realized that there was someone knocking at the door.

This made him raise his brows slightly, one drink, could it be that now, someone was creating a habit of visiting him early in the morning?

The previous day, it was Brian. But now, there was actually someone else? He was really not accustomed to this.

By this time, Adrian had already gone to get the door. So, Michael just focused on doing his own things, freshening up, before changing into a new pair of clothes, before he went downstairs.

At this moment, in the living room downstairs, Marion and Susan had already woken up. They woke up early, preparing themselves to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast meal.

But, neither of them had really expected that there would be a guest. And Marion, having been here the previous day, she thought that the person who had come to visit was Brian.

Just thinking about that guy made her frown slightly. It was not just about the reputation that this guy had that made her despise him. The attitude that he had the previous day when he was talking to Michael was yet another reason why she did not like him.

That guy, he was so arrogant, thinking that the world revolved around him. He wanted to acquire Michael’s Sky technologies, at a cheap price.

And his attitude, well, Marion did not want to think about this any further. The more she thought about this, the angrier she got.

It was just that, when she saw who it was that was coming in together with Adrian, she was left momentarily dumbfounded. And in the next moment, her body shook slightly, as she tensed up.

“Marion, what’s wrong? Do you know him?” Susan noticed Marion’s reaction when she saw the person coming with Adrian, and immediately asked, concerned.
