Chapter 680 Melrose Kingpin
+15 BONUS
“Hector Quint must be a lucky bastard,” Gregory grumbled angrily with his teeth clenched.
Narian’s legs were broken because of Kaze.
The Lees invited Professor Whiteman to look at Narian’s condition, but then the professor was escorted to Lilyrose to check on Kaze’s father–in–law.
“Contact our men at Lilyrose and tell them to bring Professor Whiteman back here!” Gregory said coldly.
“Yes, Sir!”
The butler went off to deliver the order but he came back shortly after.
“Sir, our men found Professor Whiteman but he doesn’t want to come back. He even said he would not treat Young Master Narian’s legs!”
“What?!” Gregory was furious and confused. “Did Kaze badmouth us and make that old man angry? I know Professor Whiteman is a righteous person.”
It was no secret what the Lees had done to the Quints years ago.
In fact, there were many versions of the incident and some of them sounded harsher than normal.
Gregory suppressed his anger and called Professor Whiteman.
“Professor Whiteman, please, for the sake of the Lee family, please heal Narian’s legs. We can make a handsome donation to your research project.”
He knew that a righteous man like Professor Whiteman could never be bought by selfish benefits or money alone, at least on the outside.
So, he switched to a different approach.
After all, once Professor Whiteman got the fund, he could decide what to do with it.
“That won’t be necessary. Your family is ill and sick. I’m afraid of the
consequences of taking your money. Besides, my research project doesn’t need your funding at all!”
Professor Whiteman was a straightforward man who spoke his mind and he rejected Gregory’s offer without a thought.
He then hung up the phone and did not give Gregory the chance to speak.

Smash!
Gregory smashed the phone on the floor.
“That old geezer! He thinks he’s white as snow? When he was taken away by Albert Hiden, he didn’t even try to resist!”
“Sir, why don’t we send someone to take him back, or give him a warning so that he won’t talk to us like that anymore?” The butler suggested.
“Good idea. Why can’t we do the same? If Albert Hiden can take him away, so can we!”
Gregory grunted and waved. “But don’t be too rough on the man, we can’t just piss him off. We have to rely on him to heal Narian’s legs. Hmm…”
After some consideration, he said, “The kingpin in Melrose, Steve Lee, is a distant relative of ours. That man was brutal in the underworld and he too caught a ton of conditions from his younger days.
“Leak the news of Professor Whiteman to Steve’s son, Sully. That young man is stupid, lawless, and arrogant. He will take Professor Whiteman away from Lilyrose.
“When things get worse and the old man has learned his lesson, we will intervene and tell Steve to give him to us. The old geezer will then help us heal Narian to repay the favor.”
Gregory came up with a perfect plan to get Professor Whiteman’s help.
