As the richest man in Hilshire worth $10 billion, the Sanchez Villa, where Owen Sanchez lived, was certainly more than average. It covered an area of more than 6000 square meters. And it had everything a villa should have.
It was night, and in the bright lights it was even more beautiful.
Even Luis Sanchez’s Elegant Villa was nothing like it.
In one of the attics.
“Mr. Brain, what do we do now?”
After coming back from Peace Cemetery, Owen Sanchez was upset and his face was grave. “Sean Mason is smart, powerful, and ruthless. He’s a killer, and he’s got a lot of anger in him. He’s ready to take a life for the slightest thing.”
“Dealing with such people is like trying to kill a tiger. The risk is very high.”
Owen Sanchez saw an opportunity when Sean came out of prison and accidentally revealed the Supreme Black Card. He wanted to use the hatred between Sean and the Mason family of the Capital City to choose one side and make profits from it.
Originally, the Mason family in the Capital City had refused his visit for many times and disdained his company, so he preferred Sean. Now, Sean’s amazing strength and ruthless personality made him feel a strong threat.
Sean was so strong!
And he was so cruel!
Mr. Brain was one of the strongest fighters around Owen Sanchez. Even Mr. Brain thought he was no match for Sean. How could he control Sean in the future?
Yes, control him.
Naturally, a man like Owen Sanchez didn’t want to be told what to do by someone else. He wanted to work with Sean, but he just wanted to take advantage of Sean’s being the owner of the Supreme Black Card.
But Sean was an uncontrollable tiger!
A man-eating tiger!
“Well…”
Mr. Brain didn’t look very good either. He thought for a moment, then said quietly, “The way I see it, Sean Mason and you belong together. You are both thoughtful and talented.”
“But such people often do not coexist.”
Two o tigers could not live on the same mountain.
There could only be one true leader. If I wanted to do it, and you wanted to do it, then either you died, or I died, or we didn’t interfere with each other!
Cooperation?
No way!
Mr. Brain sighed, “There are two paths open to you. One, you demean yourself, and then you pretend to play along with Sean.”
“You hunker down with Sean, you dig him up, you wait. Later, when you get the right opportunity, you bite him, you kill him, and you take over him.”
With his age and strength, Mr. Brain was certainly not a pushover.
“Oh?”
Owen Sanchez’s pupils constricted and his heart twitched. He thought for a moment and then asked, “What about the other?”
“Give up completely!”
Mr. Brain continued, “Luckily, though he caught us spying on him, he didn’t mind it. We gave him Hudson Scott and his mother, and we’re done with him.”
“If you don’t want to take the risk, you might as well call it quits. Whether it’s Sean Mason or the Mason family in the Capital City, let them settle their grudges and enmity by themselves. We just watch and don’t participate.”
Two choices, two extremes.
In plain English, if they were going to do it, do it big. Or they didn’t do it at all!
Money came from danger.
Risk and opportunity went hand in hand!
Owen Sanchez hesitated.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity lay before him. To be honest, he would hate to give up. But he could not bring himself to put all his eggs in one basket.
After much hesitation, he looked up suddenly and asked, “What if we chose the third way and now partnered with the Mason Family of the Capital City, Mr. Brain, what do you think?”
“No! Absolutely not!”
Mr. Brain shook his head without thinking, “If Sean Mason is strong, the Mason family of the Capital City is even stronger! If Sean is a tiger, the Mason family is a tiger’s den. It has trained countless masters!”
“On top of that, Bernardo Mason has ignored your previous visits. Guys like him, they don’t give a shit about you and the Sanchez family. If we surrender to the Mason family in The Capital City, even if we kill Sean, we will end up with nothing but a tragic ending!”
Using Sean as bait to visit the Mason family in the Capital City?
Couldn’t Mr. Brain think of it?
Of course he could.
But he didn’t think about it at all, so he didn’t mention it!
“Then…”
Owen Sanchez also knew that this third option was riskier, less opportunistic and the worst option. Hearing what Mr. Brain said, he shook his head and gave up the idea. He was about to speak, when suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps.
“Mr. Sanchez! We got a problem!”
Then there was a cry of panic.
As soon as the shouting ended, there was a loud bang. The attic door was thrown open and a black-clad bodyguard rushed in.
“What’s wrong?”
Mr. Brain's stooped figure moved over to the black-clad bodyguard and grabbed him by the shoulder, “Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Mr. Brain!”
The black-clad bodyguard took one look at Mr. Brain, then turned to Owen Sanchez and said, “Mr. Sanchez, there’s a man out there, big, and good at martial arts. He broke into the villa and said he was looking for Mr. Luis. Without saying a word, he began to hit us, and our men were already knocked down by him, and they…”
“They are about to break down.”
“Go and have a look!”
At this, Owen Sanchez’s face suddenly changed, and he jumped to his feet and said angrily, “Bastard! What kind of man would be so bold as to break into our villa?”
“I…I don’t know.”
The black-clad bodyguard shook his head wildly, “He just said he was looking for Mr. Luis and didn’t say his name and why. But it looks like he had a vendetta against Mr. Luis, and he seems to be a personal enemy of Mr. Luis.”
“Where’s Mr. Luis?” asked Mr. Brain.
The black-clad bodyguard still shook his head, “He… he never came back today.”
Bang! Bang!
The sounds of blows and kicks were audible from outside in the attic. Sean was clearly heading this way, and he was not far away.
“Mr. Sanchez, I’m gonna go check it out!”
Mr. Brain snorted and disappeared in a flash. It had been more than ten years since the Sanchez Villa was built, and it was the first time for him to see anyone who dared to break into the Sanchez Villa.
Owen Sanchez followed him out of the attic, his face sullen.
In the glare of the lights, a group of black-clad bodyguards, about two dozen, could be seen in the distance. They carried sticks, but they were afraid to move forward, but kept retreating.
“Who is it? How dare you run wild in the Sanchez Villa!”
