Gavin didn't expect Bradley to be so straightforward, but he responded openly, "Mr. Warner, Mr. Pendleton has shown me kindness, and I've always believed in repaying kindness."
Despite the Pendletons' troubles, Gavin's security company wasn't liquidated. In fact, business was as thriving as ever, indicating Gavin's considerable capabilities.
Bradley asked, "Is this your private residence?"
"No," Gavin replied, then asked calmly, "Is there something I can assist you with, Mr. Warner?"
"Yes."
Gavin poured another drink for Bradley. "I'd like to hear more."
Bradley looked at the glass before him, swiftly noting that it was a vintage piece. Meanwhile, the items on the shelf behind Gavin were antiques.
"I want the Quills to go bankrupt," Bradley stated.
Gavin paused while pouring his drink. "You mean the Quills of Capitus?"
Bradley raised an eyebrow. "Is there an issue?"
"The Quills have amassed significant influence in Capitus over the years. If you plan to bankrupt them, it might be quite challenging," Gavin explained.
Bradley knew well that bankrupting the Quills would be extremely difficult. However, unless the Quills faced bankruptcy, they would be Esther's shield. Only when the Quills went bankrupt would Esther have no one to rely on.
Bradley looked at Gavin with a smirk, and Gavin returned the glance with the same knowing expression. Smart individuals often understood each other without saying much.
"How long will it take?"
"The collapse of a dike might stem from an ant hole. Timing is crucial," Gavin replied cryptically.
"Besides running the security company, what else do you do?"
