Fitch took a deep breath and sat down across from him.
"You're the one who interfered with Omar's shipment at the port, aren't you? Do you realize who Omar is working with? The Olson family!"
Unlike the public, high-profile families of Greenfield, the Olsons had always been shrouded in a cloak of illegality, keeping them out of the common knowledge.
The Olson family enjoyed a significant status in the underworld, sticking to their territory for the past two decades without crossing any lines. The higher-ups turned a blind eye, knowing that the Olsons could handle matters they'd rather not get involved with.
Now, Ian had intercepted the Olson’s biggest shipment, pulling both the Casson and Olson families into the mess.
By making enemies incessantly, Ian was leaving himself no place to hide if these forces decide to band together and take him down.
Understanding Ian's motives, Fitch realized it was more of a self-destructive move, intending to drag the whole of Greenfield into chaos.
"Ian, the Olson family has reached out to me. We, the public families, have always kept our noses out of each other's business. Be reasonable. While I can still mediate, let go of the shipment. Otherwise, this situation will be impossible to resolve."
The Raymond family had a close relationship with the top brass, with Steve still in a position of power.
By acting recklessly, Ian was cornering Steve, who had to collaborate with the Olson family on numerous occasions.
Meanwhile, the Casson family was mad. Omar was becoming increasingly unpredictable. Ian's actions were tantamount to suicide.
Fitch took another deep breath.
"I know you're bitter about Eric taking Maja from you, but if you continue to stir up trouble, all of Greenfield will be thrown into chaos."
Ian, his long fingers still holding a deck of cards, slowly placed them on the table.
"So what?"
His eyes were calm, even rational.
Fitch was momentarily speechless, as if something was choking him. He had thought that Ian was acting irrationally, but it was clear now that he was perfectly sane.
A sane kind of madness.
Frustrated, Fitch grabbed the cards on the table and flung them towards Ian.
"Omar is a lunatic, and the Olson family is no less cunning than you. Even if you manage to escape to North America, do you plan on never returning?"
"Yep."

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
