Osmond, Thomas, Christian, and the other heads of the wealthy families informed of the inside story shivered fearfully. The Chalkers are playing with fire!
They couldn’t interfere in the matters at North River District, so they could only warn their subordinates not to speak recklessly. If not, even the gods couldn’t save them.
Similarly astounded were members of the Sheldon family.
Ever since Benedict’s son, Kane, offended Cordelia, the Sheldon family’s influence in South River District had plummeted.

He gathered all members of the Sheldons at once and suggested his idea of heading to North River District and thrashing Jadeborough News.
Once that decision was made, everyone from Sheldon Group was shocked to their cores.

All of North River District’s industries, including real estate, food and beverages, clothing, and many more, belonged to the Chalker family. Naturally, that included Jadeborough News as well.
Has Mr. Sheldon lost all hope for the Sheldon family and is ready to give up?
