Jake nodded too.
"That's right.As long as you say the word, we have enough assets among the four of us to devastate that bast*rd tactically, even if it isn't enough for a strategic strike."
Jake was the youngest among them.
With that dashing face of his, he exuded a ruthlessness that could only be seen among the upper echelons of society.
Furthermore, given that they were based in Jadeborough, their financial resources were more modest.
However, the city was where all power and influence were concentrated.
Furthermore, all of them come from illustrious backgrounds.
After casually putting out a card, Kane lifted his gaze and scanned his companions.
"There's no such need."
"No such need?"
Jake's eyes widened.
"What does that even mean? Are you afraid?"
"Afraid?"
Pressing his tongue against the ceiling of his jaw, Kane sneered, "Do you even think that's possible? I'm just not interested in this meaningless game."
Game? Did he just refer to the fight for hundreds of billions of family assets as a game? At that moment, even Devin furrowed his eyebrows.
"Kane, what do you mean? Are you giving up?"
Kane nodded.
"Mmm-hmm.After going through so much in the past year, I have understood one thing.Life isn't just about all these.There is so much more out there for us to experience."
His plain comment sounded extremely philosophical.
Just as he spoke, his three companions fell silent.
Staring at him in disbelief, they wondered if they had heard wrongly.
My God! Isn't he the most egoistic and powerful man among us? He has the ability to move heaven and earth.
No one can steal anything from him nor challenge him directly.
Or else, only death awaits them.
But, what's going on right now? What did we just hear? For more than ten seconds, the room fell so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
From the corner of his eye, Kane glanced at his watch.
"Have you guys stopped playing? If that's the case, I gotta go."
Devin and Jake were speechless.
Finally, Shawn, who had been quiet throughout, broke the silence.
"What's the reason for that? You have to give us one given how far we have traveled.After all, we are just worried about you.It's not like we will leave at once just because you have given up."
Left without a choice, Kane explained, "I just feel like spending more time with my family.My three children are still young while their mom's health isn't in good shape.Hence, my priorities lie with them."
Everyone fell silent again.
