Chapter 160

“Xanthe, you lost to Grandpa again.”

Maddox Anderson stroked his chin, beaming with satisfaction.

The Anderson Manor stood in a secluded area and was the largest private mansion in Emerald City, with a with over 107,000 square feet of space. It contained numerous courtyards, gardens, and recreation rooms.

This mansion had a a history of more than a hundred years. Although it had undergone several major renovations over time, the décor still preserved its original style, and the overall layout had never changed..

The history of this house was also the history of the Anderson Family.

The Anderson Family had started from organized crime, Only in the past twenty years had they gradually moved toward legitimate business, though many ille operations still ran underground. Maddox had two sons but hadn’t given up power yet–he remained the head of the Anderson Family.

pressed her lips together. “Grandpa, I can’t beat you at all. You’re too good.”

Grandpa has been playing chess for so many years–how could a little girl like you beat me…”

“Mr. Anderson, Ms. Anderson needs to take her medicine.” A maid walked over carrying a medicine bowl.

Maddox personally took the medicine and carefully blew on the bitter liquid to cool it down before bringing the spoon to Xanthe’s mouth. “Come on, my dear granddaughter, time for your medicine.”

Xanthe took a sip and stuck out her tongue at the bitterness. “Grandpa, it’s so bitter.”

Maddox smiled. “Xanthe, bitter medicine is good for you. Be good and drink it all.”

“Grandpa, when will i get better? Didn’t you say my brother already went to find that girl? Once we kill her, I’ll get better, right?”

The seventeen–year–old girl spoke of “killing” without the slightest emotion in her eyes, her face still wearing that innocent smile.

“Soon, Maddox laughed heartily. “Your brother should be back any time now.”

“Xanthe, let’s not rush. What’s meant to be yours will be yours.”

“Grandpa.

Just then, the courtyard door was pushed open

Andrew walked in with several men in black.

Maddox glanced at him, first making sure Xanthe finished the rest of her medicine before asking, “Well? That girl is she willing to donate both her kuleys

to my granddaughter?”

Andrew neither confirmed nor denied, instead he said, “Grandpa, why don’t we wait a bit longer for news from the hospital? Maybe a suitable donor will appear soon.”

“Wait?” Maddox’s expression suddenly turned cold. “There’s already a suitable one right now–why wait?”

“Grandpa, that girl–we probably can’t touch her.”

Maddox casually took a sip of water. “Can’t touch her?”

‘Yes.‘ Andrew nodded. ‘Grandpa, that girl has someone from The Obsidian Circle protecting her.”

Maddox paused mid–sip, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. “Someone from The Obsidian Circle?”

“Grandpa, The Obsidian Circle’s influence has now spread throughout all of Lumaria. Who would’ve thought that even a small Taylor Family here in Emerald City would be connected to The Obsidian Circle, and the person protecting her is actually a combat team captain.”

Maddox clenched his fist, his expression clearly darkening. “What a move by The Obsidian Circle!”

What he hated most in his life were those people from The Obsidian Circle.

Because many of the Anderson Family’s businesses weren’t exactly clean, they’d inevitably been investigated by The Obsidian Circle and suffered considerable losses.

But that wasn’t even the main issue. The main issue was that the Brown Family had been able to dominate Emerald City all these years precisely because they secretly had The Obsidian Circle’s support.

That William, relying on The Obsidian Circle’s backing, completely looked down on the other major family.

Maddox snorted coldly. “What? Are you afraid of The Obsidian Circle?”

“Grandpa, that’s not what I mean. It’s just that The Obsidian Circle is part of the United Nations of Concord–it’s an international organization after all. If we offend them…”

“So what if it’s the United Nations of Concord? Is The Anderson Syndicate easy to push around?”

“Who is this person you’re talking about?”

“The Taylor Family’s daughter.

“What? It’s actually a girl? Maddox sounded surprised.

Andrew nodded.

Maddox had seen enough of the world to quickly regained his composure, casually waving his hand. “She’s blocking me from saving my granddaughter. bring her to me. I’ll educate her myself!*

Andrew’s expression changed at these words. Grandpa, I don’t think that’s a good idea

Maddox sat in his chair looking completely calm, though his voice grew heavier. “Andrew, it’s not your place to make decisions for the Anderson Family. Are

you going to disobey my orders?”

Andrew immediately knelt before Maddox. ‘Grandpa! I’m advising you for the good of the Anderson Family. We’d better not offend The Obsidian Circle.

“Brother, Xanthe couldn’t sit still anymore. She walked to Andrew’s side. “Are you even my brother?”

“Of course I am.”
