After being beaten up by Sean and threatened with Nathan, the Snyder father-and-son could no longer hold themselves back.
Gideon raged, "Sean, don't go over the line! Do you think that the Snyder Family can't get rid of the Smith Family? We've underestimated you this time. That's why we failed. We will come back to you one day and that day will be doomsday for you and your family."
It was then the Smiths recalled that the Snyders was a family much more powerful than them. They were incomparable to the Snyders in connections and backup.
When they heard that the Snyder Family would come for them another day, everyone's face drained of color.
At the same time, Devin wiped the blood away from the corner of his lips as he looked at the Smiths. He sneered, "That's right. Nathan, do you know who did you just kill? They're rear admiral Tristan Westwood's men! Not only have you crossed the Snyder Family, but you've also crossed Tristan. Do you think you'll be living for much longer?"
The recently retired rear admiral of the naval forces, Tristan Westwood?
When the Smiths heard his name, they drew a sharp breath collectively.
Their minds just went blank.
They were only ordinary wealthy families in Channing, and they had no supports from the political and military world.
Now that they had abruptly crossed the rear admiral, it was like the world was ending forthem.
When Gideon and Devin looked at the Smiths and they sneer. They looked fearful now which was the opposite of how prideful they were a moment ago.
Then, they turned to look at Nathan, hoping to catch a glimpse of fear, shock, and regret on him.
It would be even better if Nathan were frightened out of his wits, or went down on his knees, begging for mercy.
However, Nathan remained calm and collected.
In fact, the corners of his lips had turned upward in a seemingly ambiguous smile.
Nathan looked at the two mockingly. "I have told you the Snyder Family is nothing to me. Tristan isn't a threat to me at all.
But since he's been looking fortrouble with me, I'll settle the scores with him even if he doesn't come to me."
