Tate’s expression froze slightly.
“But this isn’t good for us. We occupied this place not long ago, and we haven’t taken down the partners completely. If the old master makes a move, wouldn’t we be in a passive position?”
Sean’s expression was gloomy as he narrowed his dangerous and sharp eyes.
Tate looked eager, which was rare.
"Boss, we must prepare in advance. Otherwise, our chances of winning won’t be high once they attack. Unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless we can make a deal with Snakehead. He’s the boss here, and Southeast Asia’s biggest drug lord. If we can cooperate with him, we don’t have to worry about the old master’s threats.”
Yvette listened to Tate’s words and felt her heart pounding.
She vaguely realized something and subconsciously looked at Tate.
Tate's face was dark, as if he was just being thoughtful for Sean.
Sean also trusted Tate.
The room was silent, so much so that Yvette could not even hear their breathing.
Sean pondered for a full minute before he said, “I talked to Snakehead today. He’s a shrewd man who’s tight-lipped and has cooperated with the old master for a long time. He will only give up on the old master’s business if we can give him more benefits.”
Tate was silent.
“We need to make a loss first so that we can express our sincerity.”
Sean closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. When he opened his eyes again, they were dark and indecipherable.
“That’s the only way. You should send someone to contact them and determine the time and place. I’ll do the transaction in person.”
Tate frowned with disapproval.
“You’re going in person? That’s too dangerous. Let me…”
Sean raised his hand to interrupt him.
“This time, I must go in person. Don’t worry. We’re not in Mediania, so no one’s watching us. I just need to establish this channel with him, then it’ll be more convenient for you guys to go in the future.”
Tate nodded solemnly.
“I’ll go with you.”
“Okay.”
Sean nodded and looked at the sky outside the window.
“Is Mr. Cash’s body still around?”
Tate replied, “Yes. He was shot in the head by Tres’s woman and died miserably, but he asked for it.”
Sean chuckled lightly. His expression relaxed a bit.
“Burn his body and send his ashes to the old master. Tell them that Tres’s woman shot him because he suddenly barged in and killed Tres. I’ve already avenged Mr. Cash by getting rid of that woman.”
Tate’s eyes flickered in the dark.
“The old master won’t believe it.”
Sean smiled and looked at him a little helplessly.
“Don’t be so straightforward. Didn’t Farley teach you to be tactful? This is just a reason. It’s up to him to believe it or not. If he’s testing me, I want to test him too.”
Tate nodded, glanced at Yvette, and stood up.
“Then I’ll go and get ready first. Boss, you should rest early.”
Sean nodded, then Tate nodded at Yvette politely.
After he left, Sean held Yvette’s hand, which seemed warm.
“Did you understand what we said?”
He teased her.
Yvette lowered her eyes, blinked, and said with a bit of anger, “I’m not stupid, so I understood what you said. You and the old master are just testing and trying to kill each other, right?”
Sean was taken aback for a moment and grinned.
“Yvette, you look dumb, but you’re actually quite smart.”
Sean and Tate did not mention a word about wanting to kill the old master, but Yvette guessed it anyway.
Yvette snorted lightly and did not bother to take the tray downstairs. She put them on the table not far away and went to the bathroom to wash up.
