Chapter 210

Two days later, early in the morning, in the garden of the Wyatt family’s villa…

The garden was lush with trees and blooming flowers, accompanied by the chirping of birds.

James, dressed casually, was practicing martial arts amidst the beauty of nature.

Not far from him stood an elderly man in his 50s, dressed in a black robe, looking very respectful.

As James continued his practice, he asked, “Bob, has the Field family withdrawn their bid for the new CBD project in the past few days?”

Bob, the butler of the Wyatt family, responded, “Mr. Wyatt, Graham hasn’t withdrawn his bid.”

James stopped his practice abruptly. His eyebrows furrowed, a sharp glint in his eyes. “He hasn’t?”

“That’s correct, he hasn’t, Bob confirmed.

“It seems that Graham is intentionally challenging the Wyatt family. If they won’t take the friendly way, we’ll force then. They’ll soon learn the consequences of opposing the Wyatt family

James then stopped practicing martial arts. He clenched his right hand into a fist and spoke with hatred.

The Wyatt family owned the leading real estate business in Vista Verde and had a high likelihood of winning the bid for the new CBD project

However, James wouldn’t allow his competitors even the slightest chance.

Not even a one percent chance.

Whenever the Wyatt family eyed a project, they went all out to secure it.

This meant that competitors usually faced setbacks even before the actual competition began.

With his family being the proverbial wolves of Vista Verde’s business landscape, James wasn’t one for leniency.

Turning his gaze back to Bob, he inquired, “Has the elder from Blade Gate sent over martialists to assist us?”

Bob replied, “The elder from Blade Gate has informed us via a call. He’s sending over the elder master and the sect leader’s daughter, Juline, along with 30 martialists, to assist the Wyatt family:

The elder of Blade Gate was none other than James‘ father, the senior presbyter of Blade Gate.

To counteract influential families that might obstruct the Wyatt family’s bid, the Blade Gate’s head presbyter dispatched martialists to help the Wyatt family eliminate these hindrances,

This strategy was akin to “extending courtesy before using force

James, with a cold expression, stated, “Once the Blade Gate martialists arrive under the leadership of Karl and Juline, we’ll get rid of Graham. We can’t let the Field family sabotage our bidding plan.

“Today, you and Benny take some men and assess the Field family’s situation. Let’s see who’s backing up the Field family. making them dare to defy my instructions.”

“Yes, Mr. Wyatt, Bob replied and turned to leave the garden.

A deep, contemplative look appeared in James‘ eyes.

The reason he sent Bobrand his son Benny to check on the Field family was simple.

Two nights ago, under his pressure, Graham agreed to withdraw his bid.

987%

Yet, two days had passed, and he still hadn’t done so. This indicated Graham must have found some powerful support to think he could stand up against the Wyatt family.

However, James didn’t believe that the Field family could replace any formidable backi the Wyatt family and Blade Gate.

In the Field family’s mansion…

strong enough to stand against both

Between the grand villas of the estate, there were now several men dressed in white training suits, each adorned with a tiny star emblem on their chests.

These men stood as solid as mountains, with piercing gazes sharp as blades, their entire being exuding an aura of martialist.

Indeed, these men in their white training outfits were the martialists from Star Gate, dispatched to protect the Field family.

At that moment, two figures emerged from one of the villas.

One was Helene, and the other was Julian.

Helene, gazing at the surrounding Star Gate martialists with a look of joy on her face, said. “Julian, you’ve truly done our family a huge favor this time.

Julian had already been filled in by Helene about how the Wyatt Family had threatened the Field family.

He smiled at Helene and said, “We’re all family here. Why the formalities?”

As the words left his mouth, he suddenly felt they reminded him of someone.

That someone w

Gilmore, the leader of Star Gate.

Gilmore had always spoken to him in the same way–warm and familial

Helene nodded. “Alright, no more formalities from now on.

“By the way, I want to introduce someone to you

“Who!” Julian asked curiously.

later.

Helene replied, “His name is Gilmore. He’s my boyfriend and also one of the shareholders of the Horizon Group.”

Julian looked surprised. “You have a boyfriend now? I’m curious to see who managed to win the heart of my talented and beautiful cousin.”

n you meet him.”

Helene gave a sweet smile. “You’ll know when you

Just then, a black Mercedes drove into the estate.

The car quickly approached Helene and Julian. It halted, and the door opened to reveal Gilmore.

Gilmore greeted Helene with a bright smile, “Morning, Helene!”

Her face lit up with joy as she replied, ‘Gilmore, you’ve arrived.”

She then introduced him. “Julian, this is my boyfriend, Gilmore

Julian extended his hand, saying, “Nice to meet you, Gilmore. I’m Helene’s cousin, Julian”

Gilmore shook his hand warmly. “Pleasure to meet you, Julian.”

Although it was Julian’s “first time” meeting Gilmore, he had this strange feeling, almost as if he’d known him before.

But after running through his memories, Julian realized that he probably hadn’t seen Gilmore before.

This left him feeling somewhat puzzled.

“Let’s head inside the villa, Helene suggested after the introductions, looking at Gilmore.

Gilmore nodded in agreement.

The three of them proceeded into the luxurious house.

Inside the living room, Graham sat comfortably on a couch, engrossed in a newspaper.

Hearing Tootsteps, he looked up to see Gilmore, and his face immediately brightened. “Mr. Reed, welcome!” he exclaimed.

Setting aside the paper, Graham invited Gilmore to sit. “Mr. Reed, please, make yourself at home.

The reason Graham was so warm to Gilmore was twofold. Not only had Gilmore saved his life, but Graham also secretly considered him the prime candidate to be his future son–in–law.

Even though Gilmore had left Vista Verde over a month ago, Graham kept tabs on him.

Since the Horizon Group had a branch in Oakhaven, Graham could easily gather information about Gilmore.

In just over a month, the Evermore Group, founded by Gilmore and Claire, had taken the nation by storm and swiftly became the leading enterprise in Oakhaven’s food industry.

Furthermore, Evermore Diner was branching out in other cities throughout Vane, blossoming everywhere and shining brightly.

Knowing all this, Graham marveled at Gilmore’s business acumen.

He felt reassured in his early assessment: Gilmore was a prodigy in both medicine and business.

Julian was surprised to see his business mogul uncle treat a young man with such courtesy.

This piqued his curiosity even more about Helene’s boyfriend.

After exchanging pleasantries, Gilmore took a seat.

Graham personally poured coffee for him and said, “Here you go, Mr, Reed. A sip to refresh your palate.”

Only after serving Gilmore did he attend to Julian and Helene.

As they were enjoying their coffee and conversation, the sound of cars approaching from outside caught their attention–and not just one car, but several.

At that moment, Murdoch entered and informed Graham, “Sir, Benny has arrived.”

Graham’s brows furrowed, and he muttered with a hint of annoyance, “Considering I haven’t withdrawn the bidding documents in the past few days, and now the Wyatt family suddenly sends someone… this can’t be good.

“I wonder if they’re here to point fingers or to deliver an ultimate to our family.”
