A servant barged in and reported, "Mr. Birch is here!"
Randy was instantly overjoyed at the news. "Quick, let Mr. Birch in!"
As soon as he finished talking, Ashton waltzed in right through the door, laughing as he held a fan with the word 'Reaper' painted on it.
"Hahaha… Long time no see, Mr. Summers."
"Mr. Birch, you're finally here!"
Randy and Connor simultaneously stood up to welcome him.
Ashton had just stepped into the front hall when he saw Daniel sitting on the main seat.
He was immediately stunned and doubtful.
Who is this man?
How could he sit on the main seat of the Summers Family?!
"Mr. Summers, who is this—"
Randy hastily introduced him. "This is Vice President Robinson from Coliree Group."
"The vice president of Coliree Group?"
Ashton hastily snapped his fan shut as he pleasingly extended a hand. "I've heard many good things about you, sir…"
Daniel simply lifted his eyelids a little, not caring even to speak.
Reaper?
He's probably going to meet the real reaper today!
Daniel had no time for people who would soon be gone from the face of the earth.
Ashton had an awkward expression on his face as he timidly retracted his hand.
However, he dared not hold any grudge, for he knew very well the status of the vice president of Coliree Group.
It was already an esteemed honor to be able to see him!
To relieve the awkward atmosphere, Connor hastily said, "Mr. Birch, please have a seat. Let us proceed with the discussion for our next plans."
"Ah, I can't sit down right now!"
Ashton slapped himself on the head. "I was so shocked to see Mr. Birch that I forgot about something important!"
He began walking outside as he said to the father-son duo, "Quick! Come with me to welcome my boss!"
The Reaper's boss?!
Randy and the others were shocked!
Not daring to seem rude, they all hastily followed outside; even Caleb urged Kayla to push him outside to welcome this person.
Once outside, they saw an old man in a traditional outfit sauntering over to them with the aid of two youths.
Ashton hastily stepped forward and took the old man's arm from the youths' grasps, then introduced to Randy, "This is Morten Law, a highly-esteemed veteran in the field."
Randy and the others immediately bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Law."
Status and position were everything in the underworld, after all!
Meanwhile, veterans like Morten had countless powerful people like Ashton as their subordinates, and they never left their abode easily!
However, if they did, an earth-shattering and bloody storm was sure to come!
After carefully inviting Morten into the front hall, Randy said in a respectful tone, "Mr. Law, please have a seat."
Regardless, the seat offered was still lower than the one Daniel was sitting in.
Morten glanced at Daniel, then put on airs like an elderly person as he reprimanded, "Young man, why are you not offering your seat to me?"
Daniel didn't even lift his eyelids as he answered, "You're not worthy."
His voice wasn't too loud, but everyone present was shocked at his words!
Morten's white beard trembled as he said furiously, "W-Who is this man? How dare he talk to me like this?!"
Ashton and the father-son duo of the Summers Family were terribly shaken.
One of them was a veteran of the underworld, whereas the other was the vice president of Coliree Group.
They didn't want to offend either of those two!
Ashton thought for a bit, then said to Morten, "Mr. Law, this is the vice president of Coliree Group, so—"
Before Ashton finished speaking, Morten's expression changed, then he snorted as he took the seat he was originally offered.
At the end of the day, capital was the real priority.
Reputation or seniority didn't matter, for none of that mattered in the face of capital!
Everyone finally took their seats.
Then, Randy smiled and said to Ashton, "Mr. Birch, we're just punishing a lowly ruffian, so I didn't expect you to gather so many forces! You even requested Mr. Law's esteemed presence!"
When he went out to welcome Morten, he noticed that there were at least five hundred men gathered in the courtyard at the entrance!
Ashton raised his bandaged left hand and gritted his teeth as he said, "This hand is all thanks to him! I swear I'll kill him today, right here!"
"Also, that kid seems to be involved with the young lady of the Tanner Family. I fear that things might get out of control, so I invited Mr. Law over to strengthen our forces!"
A vicious look streaked across Ashton's eyes. "As long as that kid dares to come here today, I'll make sure this will be the end of him!"
When he heard Ashton's words, Caleb slapped his wheelchair in excitement. "Marvelous! I'll cut off his junk with my own hands! That way, he'll experience the same pain I went through!"
As Daniel listened to their discussion on defeating Kingsley, he almost burst out laughing!
This bunch of idiots really thought that five hundred ruffians could stand a chance against Ares, the God of War?
However, old Mr. Law might be a little tricky.
After all, he didn't gain a reputation in the underworld for nothing.
Still, if they didn't consider the wrath of the underworld, it wouldn't matter much if they killed him right away!
Meanwhile, Kingsley brought Lancer and Hades with him as he slowly walked up to the entrance of Summers Residence.
"Come out, Randy!"
This loud shout from him caused the clouds above to growl!
The droplets of rain that had been brewing in the rain clouds finally showered the earth!
The rain wasn't heavy, but Lancer still skillfully opened a black umbrella and positioned it over Kingsley's head.
"Get your butt out here, Randy!"
Kingsley's voice, paired with the thunder, reverberated right into the ears of the crowd gathered in the front hall!
Daniel was the first person to stand up when he heard that voice, whereas Ashton and the others followed suit.
The look in Randy's eyes was vicious. "Huh, what a kid! He dared to come!"
Everyone filed out of the front hall, rushing toward the entrance in a rage!
"Kingsley! You're brave, I'll give you that! You even dare come to Summers Residence to meet your own death!"
Connor frowned and glared at Kingsley as he shouted in a loud voice!
Kingsley's voice was cold. "And who are you?"
"I am the first son of the Summers Family!" Connor announced loudly."You disturbed my father's birthday banquet and rendered my brother's body useless. Now, you even dare to force my family to move out! I'll make sure you meet your end today!"
Beside him, Ashton said in a gloomy voice, "Nicholson, you overestimate yourself. Did you only bring two people with you? Turn around and have a look! These five hundred men came here especially for you! Now, you just have to wait for your death!"
Kingsley sneered. "The first son of the Summers Family? The Reaper? I'll deal with you later! Right now, I have a question for Randy!"
Randy was furious. "How dare you f*cking act like that even when you're going to die?!"
Kingsley ignored his rage as he asked loudly, "Randy! A question for you! Does the land you're standing on belong to Summers Residence?"
Hearing that, Randy's expression changed. "W-What do you mean by that?"
"Another question for you! Don't you fear ghosts when you sleep at night, knowing that you robbed the Nicholsons of their land?!"
