Zachary had gained full control of the situation.
By setting an example, Zachary had shown Henry how a top-notch hedonistic son of the rich could use words and might to intimidate the other party, eventually achieving his goal.
Bob looked exceedingly sullen.
When Bob learned about the things Zane did today, he knew that this was going to be a tricky problem to solve.
Bob knew better than younger generations like Zane that the Laws were the ones they should never mess with.
Three other rich families were just ordinary business families who made their fortune by taking advantage of Harbor City’s unique status and the rapid development of society in the early years.
Later, even as their family status grew and they embarked on the journey of business and held government positions, they were still businessmen at heart.
The Laws were different.
Old Master Law started off with minor achievements in turbulent times and carved out a niche for himself.
The four richest families knew each other through and through. Why did the three other richest families not take the initiative to provoke the Laws even when they were keeping such a low profile?
That was because they knew that they could not afford to provoke the Laws.
At least when Old Master Law was still alive, no one would lay a finger on the Laws.
Since the handover, the help that Old Master Law had extended to the Mainland had earned him supreme status today. This was something that was becoming increasingly prominent.
Seeing that Zachary had no plans of overcoming this matter, Bob gritted his teeth and decided to endure the humiliation first.
