All three older men frowned when they
heard Fabian’s suggestion.
Kennedy spoke again. He sounded slightly
worried as he said, “But that’s against the
rules.”
His son had a rare chance to shine, so
Sawyer would defend him no matter what.
He replied, “Rules? If you want to talk
about rules, we’re breaking tons of rules b
y forging an alliance and planning to
short the Harbor City market. Would this
even be a big deal to us?
“We’ll do anything to win. Any plan that
leads us to victory is good. Would real
men consider rules?”
Sawyer sounded like he was boasting, but i
It was the truth.
“No one in Harbor City is better than the
Law family when it comes to contacting
gangs. After all, Old Master Law made his
first fortune by smuggling firearms. Are
you sure this will work?” Joe turned
towards Fabian and asked.
“It’ll definitely work!”
Fabian answered with confidence.
He said, “The Law family has always
treated Jasper as their son-in-law. Anna
would replace Wendy if anything
happened to her. Who knows, the Law
family might even be praying for Wendy t
o vanish from the picture too.”
“No.”
Joe shook his head slightly, an image of a
n old man’s face that was tanned and thin
but at the same time emanated a majestic
aura that unnerved people flashing
through his mind. “Old Master Law is not
such a narrow-minded person. He looks a
t the big picture before he does anything.”
“Dad.”
Kayden spoke. “We don’t have any other
choice now. It is the best plan we have. It
shouldn’t be too big of an issue as long as
we’re careful.
“All we need to do is kidnap her and
spread the news to incite panic. If we
manage to drag it on until Monday when
the stock market reopens, prices will fall
like an avalanche. By the time they regain
their senses, we’ll have collected the
money and scrammed.”
Both Kennedy and Sawyer nodded their heads after listening to Kayden’s explanation.
Thus, Joe said, “Alright, then we’ll do as previously agreed. We’ll have a democratic voting process whenever we need to make important decisions as a group. Raise your hands if you’re in favor of Kayden and Fabian’s plan.”
Joe had just finished speaking when
Sawyer and Kennedy both raised their
hands.
Thus, Joe raised his hand slowly too as he said, “Alright, we’ll proceed with the plan!”
“Everything’s going smoothly. The big wigs are all very polite and cooperative. Our plan is proceeding at an even faster rate than I anticipated.”
Wendy sat in her presidential suite on the top floor of The Westin, located near Victoria Harbour, as she spoke to Jasper o n the phone.
It was both so they could spend time with
each other as well as discuss work-related
matters.
Jasper’s voice rang out from the other end
of the line. “That’s good. Joe and the
other two are doing so much with such
fanfare just so they can suppress Harbor
City’s economy and then use that as a way
to curry favor with the people of the
United States.
“I’m betting their final target is still on
