Seeing the frown on his father’s face, Hector smiled and said, “Dad, what are you thinking about? Stop worrying. Hasn’t the matter been resolved for now? We have three days. Besides, with Seventh Uncle around, who dares to do anything to our family?”
“Fool! Don’t you understand by now?” Homer glared at Hector angrily and shouted, “30 million dollars! Can you take out 30 million dollars to squander just like that? Moreover, the other party bought off Neal Pearce in just a few minutes. What kind of strength and means does it take to act so quickly within the boundaries of Flower City in Charbury?”
Hearing this, Hector was also taken aback.
Yes, it was 30 million dollars. If he spent all that money just like that, he would be heartbroken.
Moreover, the other party directly bought Neal off within ten minutes after talking to his father. It could be seen that his strength was not to be underestimated.
Hector thought about it and said with a snigger, “Dad, maybe he just knows Neal? Aren’t we getting ahead of ourselves? Flower City, including the entire Charbury, belongs to our Dunley family. What else do we have to worry about?”
Homer shook his head helplessly and said with a sigh, “Son, it’s not that I’m thinking too much. I can’t help feeling that things won’t be that simple this time. Don’t go out for the time being. Wait until things are settled before we talk about it.”
Hector dared not refute his father’s order and said with a nod, “Okay, I got it.”
However, Homer still reconfirmed, “Hector, are you sure the person you injured is just a nanny?”
Hector was unconcerned. “Yes, I wanted to target his wife at first, but the nanny deceived me and said she’s Philip’s girlfriend, so I acted. I later learned that he has a wife who’s pregnant. That woman is just the nanny he hired.”
Homer shook his head helplessly. After that, he suddenly remembered something and asked, “How did your meeting with the enforcers of the Nonagon go?”
Hector quickly said, “Dad, I’m afraid this won’t work. The four enforcers have very indifferent attitudes toward us. Besides, the Larson family has already selected Philip Clarke. If not for this, I wouldn’t have clashed with him.”
“What about the spot for direct access? Did you find out anything about it?” Homer asked again.
If they could enter the Nonagon, the status of their family would rise. At that time, they might be able to rank higher in their internal family’s ranking. Perhaps, they might even get a chance to be absorbed into the main family.
