“Dad, we received news! Michael’s condition seems to have stabilized, but he still hasn’t woken up. He’s most likely already a vegetable!” Curtis said excitedly.
Kennedy took a sip of his tea and said with a smile, “There’s no difference between a vegetable and a dead person. Do the four families think they can fight the Lake family because they joined hands? Now that Michael is a vegetable, that should give the other three families pause for a while.”
Curtis also nodded in agreement and said, “Although we lost Maxwell and the rest, it’s still worth it in exchange for turning Michael into a vegetable! Now that Michael is a vegetable, Theodore, Jadon, and Jagoan won’t be doing anything for a while!”
The father and son looked at each other and smiled.
Jagoan and the other three had sent Kennedy coffins during Kennedy’s 50th birthday. Then, Optimus Security Services humiliated them at Lake Security Services’ opening ceremony.
Kennedy and Curtis had been down because of that. Now that Michael was a vegetable, they had gotten their revenge.
“It’s too early to rejoice. Michael became a vegetable, but the Lake family doesn’t have much power left.”
A moment later, Kennedy said solemnly, “How about this? Recruit another batch of people. Since we’ve established Lake Security Services, it can’t remain empty. I hear the Winters family needs to transport something soon. Lake Security Services can make a name for itself with this.”
The smile on Curtis’ face widened.
By the Winters family, Kennedy referred to Fabian and Mario’s family.
Fabian was the current head of the Winters family. Although the Winters family was not as powerful as the Lake family, Fabian’s personal status in Ocean City was far above any affluent family.
Ocean City’s mayor, Fabian Winters, was a governor. Even the Lake family, known as the top family in Ocean City, dared not be rude to Fabian.
Jagoan also knew the Lake family was hiring again, but it did not bother him.
“Mr. Lennon, the Lake family is making a huge fuss over hiring. I’m afraid they’re competing for the Winters family’s business!” Jagoan said.
