The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 562

"As long as Nolan loses the support of Fang, a major figure in the underworld, he'll be nothing more than a lone wolf and will be easily manipulated. Unless he's a grandmaster or a top-tier Dragon Ranking powerhouse, he's nothing but a bug!" Vernon said.

Hearing this, Geoffrey just laughed. "A Dragon Ranking powerhouse? That's a joke! Every Dragon Ranking expert is akin to a living nuclear weapon, and their identities are well-documented. Over the years, there hasn't been a single change in the ranks, which speaks to their unparalleled combat strength.

"If Nolan were truly a Dragon Ranking expert, there's no way we could stand against him. Dad, I'll send Fang a test first. It might not be appropriate to call him directly, especially since Fang is currently with Nolan. He might hesitate to speak freely under such circumstances."

Vernon nodded and said, "Alright, we'll do as you suggest. Tell Fang that if he's willing to abandon Nolan and stand with us, I guarantee the benefits he'll receive will far exceed anything he can imagine. But if he insists on going against us, then he should be prepared to lose everything."

After a brief pause, he added, "You can hint at the strength of our family—just enough to prevent him from going all cocky on us."

Geoffrey nodded lightly and said, "Got it. I'll message Fang now."

With that, he immediately began composing a text message and sent it to Fang.

At that moment, Fang was right beside Nolan. When he saw the text message, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Without a moment's hesitation, he walked straight over to Nolan and showed him the message Geoffrey sent him.

Nolan glanced at the message and chuckled lightly. "Fang, it seems your reputation as a big shot in the underworld does have some value. The benefits the head of the Norberg family are offering you must be quite generous. I don't mind if you two have a little conversation."
