Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Harleen also wanted to explode, but she knew that getting angry now would be useless. She made a decision in her heart-if things didn’t work out, she would have to ask for help herself. Otherwise, her family would be even more difficult tomorrow.

“If you don’t want to listen, plug your ears!” Sharon continued to shout.

“Sharon, don’t be like this. Even without Billy, they wouldn’t give us the shares in cash.” Fletcher said.

After tonight’s events, he who had held onto a glimmer of hope for the Knight family was completely disillusioned. He never thought his father could be so ruthless.

“Shut up!” Sharon’s anger shifted back towards Fletcher again. “Did you get hit on the head? What makes you think you can get Ozin Tower’s contract? If you had that ability, our family wouldn’t have fallen into such dire straits!”

“I used to know someone in Ozin’s business department and planned on asking him for help but he was transferred recently.” Fletcher sighed.

“Which one you know can help, huh? When you had your moments, they played with you. But now you see, since we’re kicked out by your father, how many of them are willing to help you? Tell me. They all avoid you like you’re contagious and can’t even bother answering your calls. Haven’t you realized it yet?” questioned Sharon.

“Mrs Knight, easy. Trust me, there will be good news tomorrow! And, I guarantee you, they will come begging for Harleen to come back to headquarters.” Billy spoke up.

“You…” Sharon was wrathful.

“If I can’t do it tomorrow, then I’ll personally pay for the 20% of shares.” Billy continued. “And, I will swear not to disturb your lives again.”

“That’s what you said!” Sharon shouted loudly. “Don’t go back on your word!”

“My words. I’ll do what I said.”

“Good!” Sharon responded loudly.

Half an hour later, Billy sent them home. He had planned to take them somewhere else for dinner but none of them had any appetite so he gave up. The toys he bought Tasha during the day were left at their doorstep with a few small and delicate ones chosen by Casey for Tasha. They couldn’t fit all those big toys in their house anyway. After spending some time with Tasha, Billy left when he promised Tasha that he would come play with her again tomorrow.

Twenty minutes later, he parked his car in a five-star hotel parking lot where he and Casey were temporarily staying.

“Brother, it ended so early?” Casey hurried over.

“We’ll talk while we eat!” As they walked towards a restaurant next door to the hotel, Billy added, “Oh yeah! Call Derek and tell him to join us.”

“Hmm?” Casey was momentarily confused.

“What happened? Weren’t Billy and Miss Knight’s family supposed to attend a banquet? Were they kicked out?” Casey thought to himself.

“You ate?” Billy asked as they walked. “Then come have another meal with me.”

“Nah, I haven’t eaten either!” Casey grinned and dialed Derek’s number on his phone.

Ten minutes later, the two of them sat down in a window seat at the restaurant.

“Brother, didn’t you eat anything?” Casey asked Billy after ordering their food.

“Why would I lie?” Billy glanced at him.

“The Knight family only cares about receiving gifts, they don’t care about feeding their guests.” Said Casey.

Billy didn’t respond to him but instead picked up his tea cup and took a sip before briefly describing what had happened earlier.

“The old man from the Knight family is really something,” Casey said incredulously. “Why don’t we send Judge over there to talk to him?”

“We need to win people over with virtue.” Billy replied firmly, putting down his tea cup.

“Alright,” Casey shrugged. “Any news from Judge’s side?”

Judge followed Billy and Casey to come to Ozin City. Billy wanted Judge to watch the Watkins, Jimenez and Malcom families. Once things settled down with the Knight family, they planned on settling accounts with all three families.

“I spoke to him this afternoon, there wasn’t much going on with the Jimenez family or the Malcom family.” Casey paused before adding, “but it seems like there’s some unusual activity with the Watkins family today. There were quite a few suspicious people going in, and he’s investigating their situation. We should have results tomorrow.”

“Tell him not to waste too much energy investigating. The Watkins family couldn’t be disruptive. Tell Judge to keep an eye on the core members of these three families and make sure they don’t leave Ozin!”

“Got it!”

Just then, a chaotic sound of footsteps echoed through the room. Soon after, a man in his fifties dressed in a suit walked into the hall surrounded by forty or fifty followers. As soon as the customers saw the leader, they left their seats one by one with fear written all over their faces.

“It’s them two! Mr Parham!” A bald man pointed at Billy and reported respectfully to the middle-aged man while bowing down. The bald man was none other than that person Billy had met earlier that day at Harleen’s neighborhood.

“You’re pretty quick on your feet.” Billy said with a faint smile after exchanging glances with Casey. At this point, the middle-aged man had already stepped forward and sat down on a chair that was brought over by one of his men. He then took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it up and took a puff, appearing calm and composed.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“So it was you two who asked me to go to the neighborhood tomorrow to make up for the difference in price?” he asked in a casual tone after blowing out some smoke rings, looking at Billy and Casey.

“Where did this monkey come from?” Casey glanced at him.

“Hmm!? You’re asking for trouble, kid!” The bald man pointed at Casey angrily.

“This is our boss, Mr Parham. If you don’t want trouble, kneel right now!”

“Oh! So you’re the boss of Obodon Real Estate?” Casey looked at Egbert Parham and asked, “Are you here specifically to give us money?”

“You’re innocently brave.” Egbert took another puff of his cigarette and continued, “Do you know that in the past ten years, very few people have dared to speak to me like this? And even if they did, they ended up buried six feet under!”

Casey shrugged nonchalantly. “And then what?”

“I heard that you can fight well?” Egbert fixed his gaze on Casey and spoke again.

“Do you want to try me?”
