However, Draco who had always advised him to personally deal with Zeke stopped him suddenly. “Mr. Quin, we can’t act rashly. We have to keep our cool.”
“Have you not smelled something fishy about this?”
Mr. Quin gave him a baffled look. “What’s so fishy about this?”
“Please think about it,” Draco explained, “Most of Zeke’s resources are in Rivermouth. Why would he suddenly come here to Eastend?”
“Isn’t he here because the Martial Arts Association gifted him the Grand Empire Group in Eastend?”
Draco nodded his head. “That’s right. it was gifted to him by the Martial Arts Association. So why did they do so? That’s the first question.”
“Second, we aren’t business competitors of any sort with the Grand Empire Group. So how did all these conflicts come about?”
“He signed a contract with the celebrity I had put a hit on.”
“You are right,” Draco replied, “But of all the people, why did Mia Young seek Zeke’s help? After all, he isn’t really that powerful here in the Eastend.”
“Please bear in mind that she had previously been rejected by the Martial Arts Association. She knew very well that Williams would be even less of a match against you!”
“That’s true,” Mr. Quin mused, “So why did she do it?”
“That’s because the President of the Martial Arts Association recommended that she should get help from Zeke.”
Mr. Quin gasped, “The Martial Arts Association was the one who got Zeke to come here to the Eastend. And they were the ones who brought about this conflict between both of us...”
“F**k! The Martial Arts Association is using us to deal with Williams!”
“Dylan, you son of a b**th! How dare you use these tricks against me? I’m going to tear you apart!”
“Calm down!” Draco said hastily, “Mr. Quin, that isn’t what happened.”
“From my knowledge, there are no grievances between the Martial Arts Association and Williams. Thus, Dylan has no reason to try and harm Williams.”
“What the f*** are you trying to say?” Mr. Quin snapped, “All the evidence points to the fact that the Martial Arts Association is trying to use us to get rid of Williams!”
“Yet, you’re telling me now that this isn’t the case. So what on earth is happening?”
“Calm down, Mr. Quin. Just listen to me.”
“Do you still remember that siege not too long ago? Well, that siege had actually been targeted at Linton Group and Williams.”
“And the person behind that siege is none other than Dylan’s boss!”
“The boss of Dylan’s has an enormous grudge against Williams. He was definitely the one who instructed Dylan to do that.”
No wonder Draco was Mr. Quin’s advisor. As someone deeply involved in the matter, he was still able to see through everything and glean what was really happening!
Gasp!
Mr. Quin drew in a shaky breath after Draco had finished.
He knew very well who Dylan’s boss was.
In fact, he had crossed paths with this person before.
Dylan’s boss was an extremely powerful man. Back in the olden days, he would have been akin to a prince.
In a show of respect, everybody addressed him as ‘Boss’.
He was someone that Mr. Quin couldn’t afford to offend.
Mr. Quin certainly hadn’t expected him to be involved in this matter at all.
This train of events had completely caught him by surprise.
All of a sudden, he was actually at a loss for what to do next.
“Mr. Quin,” Draco asked cautiously, “Do you know who Dylan works for?”
Mr. Quin nodded his head. “Yes, I do. And he’s so powerful that... Well, let me put it this way, I can’t even dream of holding a candle to him.”
Draco’s face immediately turned as pale as a sheet.
Someone who Mr. Quin couldn’t even dream of holding a candle to? How powerful is this man then?
