Chapter 310 Cautious
“Wendell! What do you mean by that?” Charles‘ expression darkened.
“Since you don’t intend to help the York family, there’s nothing more to say.” Wendell smiled faintly.
Then, he left with Celestia and the others.
“Dad, aren’t we seeking the God of Gambling’s help? Why are we leaving?” Just after leaving the villa, Celestia asked in confusion.
They came to the Hoff family looking for help but received nothing at all.
By leaving now, did it mean that the York family had accepted their fate?
“Celestia, things aren’t that simple. Charles is a smart man. He should understand what I mean.” Wendell smiled confidently.
If Charles knew what Caspian had been up to lately, he definitely wouldn’t sit idly by.
As New Bay’s God of Gambling, Charles held substantial funds. The Hoff family must’ve engaged in many illegal activities. Hence, Caspian wouldn’t spare them.
So, even if Wendell didn’t seek Charles‘ help, Charles still needed to find a way to deal with Caspian. Otherwise, the fate of the Hoff family would be like Galecrest!
“Cole, we might’ve had some minor conflicts before, but we have a common enemy now. I hope you can join me in dealing with Caspian,” Wendell said to the silent Cole.
“I understand. I know my priorities!” Cole replied arrogantly.
Wendell didn’t bother with further words. As long as they could eliminate Caspian, it would be advantageous for them.
If they failed, they would face the Kane family’s punishment once they returned to Dhord City.
Cole wasn’t a fool. He would definitely stand with the York family right now.
At Hoff Manor, shouts could be heard.
“This Wendell truly thinks he’s unmatched. He’s just the head of a second–rate family in Dhord City, yet he dares to act unreasonably in your presence!” Jean exclaimed angrily.
The York family was merely a second–rate force in the capital, while the Hoff family had dominated New Bay for years. But Wendell dared to be disrespectful, which was simply intolerable.
However, Jean failed to notice that his father had been sitting in silence for a long time.
“Dad?” Jean called out.
“Find out everything about Caspian and report it to me,” Charles said sternly.
“Yes!” Jean nodded.
Charles had sensed Wendell’s hidden implication. He felt that Caspian’s identity wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
He was able to thrive in New Bay because of his cautious behavior.
Charles‘ gradual rise in New Bay was because of his cautiousness in ensuring his success without any unexpected incidents.
Hence, before dealing with Caspian, he needed to thoroughly investigate his background. Only then could he plan the next steps. Otherwise, he wouldn’t act rashly.
Half an hour later, Jean returned to the villa.
His emotions were a mix of many flavors.
Seeing his solemn expression, Charles frowned and snatched the folder.
After reviewing the information, his expression gradually darkened.
“Dad, what should we do?” Jean asked anxiously.
He hadn’t taken this matter seriously before. There had been no enemy they couldn’t handle in all these years. But after seeing the information about Caspian, he was deeply shaken.
Caspain’s methods were too ruthless.
He had eliminated numerous underground forces.
His background was even more perplexing. Initially an orphan, he served a few years in the military before becoming the Stewart family’s son–in–law.
His subsequent life was unbelievable.
