Chapter 304: Complications

Jack, who was feeling completely smug, while watching his underlings stepping towards Alex and the others, suddenly had the smile on his face wiped off.

He was not only surprised by the fact that there was someone who was capable of speaking in such a calm tone, but also because of the name mentioned.

Because his view was blocked by the people in front of him, he could not see who it was that had spoken. Additionally, that voice, he found it completely unfamiliar.

It was only Max, who was standing next to him, that was able to recognize that voice. Even though it had been quite a while since he heard it, he had been paying attention to Michael ever since his first visit here.

Back then, when he was informed by Alex that Michael was the owner of Sky Technologies, of course, he was shocked. Then, he began investigating, only to end up with nothing in return.

This made him understand that Michael had a big background, not someone that he could provoke.

Today, he had been deep in thought, and did not even know that Michael had already entered the shooting range. That was why he did not have any qualms at standing by while Jack and the others went after Alex’s group.

But now, upon hearing that voice, he realized that things were getting out of control. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he realized, there was nothing that he could say to salvage the situation.

He was currently in a situation where he could not support any side. If he supported one side, he would become the enemy of the other side.

Additionally, at the moment, he was already supporting Jack’s group. Since that was the case, then he decided to go with it until the end.

At least, as long as he maintained his loyalty to one side, the person behind Jack would definitely shield him against Michael. While he was not sure about Michael’s background, he believed that it was not bigger than the one behind Jack.

While Jack and Max had different reactions, the group in front of them did not stop for long. They did not know who Ethan was, and neither did they know who it was that had spoken.

For most of them, who were busy with enjoying themselves, did they even have the time to pay attention to the new developments in the city?

Therefore, this group of young masters did not even know that Michael was the owner of Sky Technologies. Additionally, it had already been quite a while since Michael acquired Sky Technologies.

Ever since his last visit there with Adrian, he had never gone back to Sky Technologies again. Therefore, most of the people had already forgotten about him, with most of the attention focused on Adrian.

As for Alex and the others, initially, they felt tense. No matter how good they were at fighting, could they really fight barehanded against an armed group?

If it came to a fair fight, they were sure that they could win against Jack’s group. But in a fight where they were at a disadvantage, they definitely could not do much against them.

Just as most of them wondered if Michael was going to take action, or if they should prepare to take action themselves, Michael spoke.

And his words made Alex and the others realize that it seemed that Michael already knew what was happening.

This made them feel relieved. But at the same time, they wondered, who was this Ethan guy? Could it be possible that he was Michael’s enemy?

For someone to be considered as Michael’s enemy, they were definitely not simple. And if that was the case, then Alex and the others had nothing that they could do against that person.

This made Alex feel kind of helpless. He wondered, just how would he be capable of repaying Michael for all that he had done for him?

He did not only save his sister when she was kidnapped, but he had Lucas train him, and had also helped the Walter family through Sky Technologies.

“All of you, stop for a moment!” Jack’s sudden shout made the group that was just about to reach Alex’s group halt in their steps.

They turned to look at Jack, confused expressions on their faces, not understanding what Jack intended to do.

After everyone had stopped, Jack took several steps forward, going through the crowd, finally standing in front of them. He gazed towards Alex and the others, scanning them.

He was very familiar with Alex and the others, but this voice that had spoken not long ago, he was completely unfamiliar with it.

Finally, he noticed that there was a young man that was kind of familiar to him, standing between Alex and Raymond.

“Who are you? And how do you know young master Ethan?” With a frown on his face, Jack asked as he gazed at Michael.

Michael did not bother to respond to that question, as he asked, “Did he perhaps tell you to start causing trouble within this city?”

“Damn it! Who do you think you are? Even if you know young master Ethan, can you compare to him? Brat, you should know your place! If you dare to say anything disrespectful about young master Ethan, believe it or not, I will break your limbs, and you cannot do anything about it.” Jack immediately retorted upon having his question ignored.

“Do you even know who you are talking to? If you don’t, then better go do your own investigation before you come and talk nonsense!” Alex immediately responded to Jack, his expression fierce.

Jack was momentarily startled, as this was the first time that he had seen Alex with such an expression. He wondered, what could have happened?

Of course, he knew about the developments within the city, and the fact that the families such as the Morgan family, Walter family, Anders family and other families had been getting stronger.

This was linked to the fact that they were having collaborations with Sky Technologies and Annex Supermarket chain.

Something that Jack noticed was that, it was only those families that had their young masters or misses within Alex’s group that benefited the most.

He had always been wondering what could be the reason why they were able to collaborate with sky technologies, while the other forces within the city found it difficult.

Finally, over a month ago, he was able to find the results, realizing that it was because of Michael. This young man, he was the one that was behind both Sky Technologies and Annex supermarket change.

As for his background, it was something that he had not managed to find anything about. In the end, realizing that there was nothing that he could do, he decided to completely stop investigating Michael.

He had even almost forgotten about him, and only now did he suddenly remember.

“So, you are the one that bought Sky Technologies? But so what? As compared to Young Master Ethan, you are nothing. Even the sky technologies that you own, if young master Ethan wants it, he can easily acquire it.” Jack snorted as he said.

Michael did not respond to Jack’s words. Instead, through the neural relay earpiece, he communicated with Onyx, asking Onyx to contact Ethan, so that the guy would come over at the shooting range.

Immediately after instructing Onyx to do that, he gazed at Jack and said, “Why don’t you wait for your master to show up first? I don’t like lengthy processes of dealing with problems. I like dealing with problems directly from the source.”

“Arrogant!” Jack gritted his teeth as he exclaimed in anger.

But even though he was angry, he did not do anything. Instead, he was quite wary of Michael, as he was not able to figure out Michael’s background.

Therefore, he looked at the guys that were looking for him for instructions, asking them to wait. He wanted to understand what was going on.

As for Max, he began getting a bad feeling about this. After all, he also knew about Ethan, and knew about his background.

But from the way that Michael was speaking, such confidence, it was clear that he did not even care about Ethan. Did this imply that he had the confidence of dealing with Ethan?

If that was the case, would that not imply that he, Max, and the others who were currently going against Michael, would end up being sacrificed?

As he thought about this, he could not help but let out a helpless sigh. What could he even do?

His family was backed by a gang that was directly under the dark society. And the Dark Society had bigger forces from the Central province. And this time, it was someone from the central province who had given the order.

Since Alex and the others were currently within his shooting range, of course, Max had no choice but to cooperate. But now, it seemed that things were getting out of hand.
