Chapter 273: I’ll Be There

“Do you think that what you are saying, makes sense? Do you think that just from what you are saying and promising, I can agree to leave everything that I have been doing recently, not to pursue what I want, just because of a few benefits from the Santos family?” Michael asked in an indifferent voice.

Bob on the other hand seemed to be unaffected by Michael’s reaction and the questions that he had asked. Instead, he just shrugged and said, “This is the offer from the Santos family. While we cannot reveal the reason why we would like you to do this, believe me, it is for your own good.

Currently, the Santos family is not in a good position. So, we have no choice but to ask you to leave, so that we can handle other issues by ourselves.

But if you refuse, you will also be implicated in the matters related to the Santos family. So, I hope that you will not be stubborn, and leave on your own accord.”

“It seems that you have some confidence in you. I wonder, what is giving you the confidence?” Michael asked with raised brows.

Even though he was angry, he did not show much on his face. He understood, revenge was something that he would have to take eventually.

But this guy in front of him, he was not the culprit. Instead, he might just be a pawn, being used to do what the mastermind wanted.

Of course, Michael’s target was not the pawn, but instead, the mastermind behind all this. Still, since the pawn was still used, it would still have to suffer as well.

Despite what he was thinking, he did not say anything about it, instead, he just continued looking at Bob, waiting for his response.

To Michael’s question, Bob was silent for a moment before he responded, “I understand that you have quite some influence. You have great ability, to the extent that you somehow managed to acquire some shares from Vanguard corporation.

I don’t know much about your capabilities, but I understand the capabilities of the Santos family. So, if you don’t cooperate, we will have to force things to work.

So, no matter if you agree or not, you will have to leave this country, and never come back. Therefore, it is up to you to choose, if you are going to take the hard way or the easy way.”

“Well, I’m a person who likes to face challenges, especially if it is something that involves me. While I don’t like trouble, but if you try causing trouble for me, then you cannot blame me for taking action against you.

Go and tell Newton, in a while, I will pay him a visit. There is no need for him to struggle that much, because all the debts that we have, they will be settled all at once when we meet. You can show yourself out now.” Michael shook his head slightly as he said.

For the first time, Bob’s expression shifted. In reality, he had never anticipated that Michael would be this headstrong.

Previously, when he had been instructed by Newton to come over, he thought that it would be quite a simple issue to deal with.

He believed that with the promises that he had given, it should be enough to be able to convince Michael to leave. That was especially after he mentioned the fact that if Michael stayed, he would end up suffering with the Santos family.

Unexpectedly, this kid was quite tough. And, he also had the intention of confronting Newton? Despite him not understanding much about this kid and the background behind him, he knew the Santos family very well.

While on the surface, it was clear that silent order syndicate was being suppressed by the Blood Reapers syndicate, this was something that was only temporary.

If an all-out battle broke out, then, even the blood reapers syndicate would have to avoid the edge of the silent order syndicate. Otherwise, they would suffer great losses that could easily lead to the dissolution of the entire syndicate.

Of course, this was not to imply that the silent order syndicate was all powerful. Instead, it was just that they had great capabilities, which would lead to the blood reapers syndicate suffering.

But at the end of it all, the silent order syndicate would not be in a good shape as well. So simply put, the two syndicates could end up being ruined completely.

And this was exactly what the two forces were trying to avoid. Neither of them had the intention of fighting the other, leading to self-harm.

Instead, they wanted to deal with the other, while suffering as small losses as possible. That way, they would be able to deal with those that were currently eyeing them, waiting to pick up the scraps after the two fought and injured each other.

“Okay, I won’t say more, but you have to consider it. As for you going to meet the master, I would like to advise you against that. But if you insist, you will learn the hard way, that in this world, there is always someone better.” Bob said as he stood up.

Immediately after he finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving the living room silent.

Marion and Susan had not left, and had all heard the conversation. They were all puzzled, wondering what was going on, especially for Marion.

She just could not figure out what was going on. She had not been involved in the conversation between Michael and Nathan, but it was different this time.

She knew this guy, though not personally. At least, she had some information regarding him, and understood that he was Newton’s trusted aide.

So, his presence here was more like Newton’s intention. And, Newton was Zachary’s brother, meaning that he was Michael’s uncle.

Previously, she had thought that Michael and the Santos family were in a good relationship. Unexpectedly, the relationship between the two sides was tense.

This made her wonder, just how did Michael achieve what he had right now? How many sacrifices did he have to make, in order to be able to make it this big?

As for the reason why Newton wanted Michael to leave the nation, to her, it made no sense. With Michael’s return to the Santos family, they were supposed to be happy about it.

Or, could it be possible that, Newton thought that Michael was a threat to his son, for the position of the next leader of the family? Could that be the reason why he wanted Michael to leave the nation?

As for Susan, she was just as confused. She did not understand what was going on. But she had definitely heard about the Santos family during the time that she was in the central province.

So of course, she understood that the Santos family was a big force within the capital. But, unexpectedly, Michael’s background seemed to be related to that Santos family?

At first, when Kate mentioned Michael to her, and all the things that he had done, or owned, she had bought that he was related to that Santos family.

But, she thought the possibility of that was quite low. After all, why would a member of the Santos family want to come to a small city like Brenton city, instead of staying in the capital?

But now, from the looks of it, it was clear that Michael was from the Santos family. But for some reason, the relationship between the two sides was not good.

And this was something that left her puzzled. If Michael was against the Santos family, it was clear that it was not the Santos family that was supporting him.

At his age, how was it possible for him to be able to achieve all that he had currently achieved by himself? There had to be someone that was backing him.

Though, in the end, Susan decided not to think much about this matter. In any case, it was not related to her, at least, not directly.

So, unless it was something that was going to affect Kate in one way or the other, she would never get herself involved in this, considering that she understood nothing at all.

Michael detected that the two ladies were currently experiencing a turmoil of emotions. But, he did not bother to elaborate anything, deciding to just continue relaxing as he had planned before.

As for the issue of the Santos family, he would deal with it eventually. Right now, with the speed at which sky technologies was developing, it would only be a matter of time before he took over the entire technological industry.

And since he was not holding back, that time would not be far away. Maybe within just a few months, he might be able to accomplish this.

And at that time, he might need to move to the capital. And it would be then that he would be dealing with the Santos family.

But before then, he would have to focus on something related to the abilities and the mutation serums. If he could gain more abilities before he went there, it would be more ideal.

If not, he would have to purchase several bio humans from the system store, then grant them varying abilities. That way, no matter the situation faced, it could be dealt with.

But most crucially, it was the issue regarding the source of that meteor. It was the one that had brought about the issue related to mutants.

Believing that there was a mystery behind this, he thought that it would be better for him to prepare himself early. So, tomorrow, he would have to create another clone, and the following day, he would do the same.

Only by having as many SP as possible would he be able to deal with different issues, and in the shortest time possible, especially during emergencies.
