Wolves, Maces, And Blood novel Chapter 27

Apparently, Luke Young had heard Charles Campbell’s name and knew what Charles Campbell was capable of.

“What’s that?”

Noticing Luke Young’s reaction, Carter Moore’s heart twitched. He realized something wrong and looked down at the phone screen. But Luke Young turned his phone away from him and said awkwardly, “Mr. Moore, just a moment, please. I need to take this call.”

Then he turned and left.

“You!”

Carter Moore’s jaw shook harder than ever.

Whose phone call would make Luke Young turn so pale that he had to take it?

“Dad, are you okay?”

Hudson walked right up to Connor Scott, looked at Cameron Brown, and asked, “Did they give you a hard time?”

“No, no.”

Connor Scott shook his head. When he saw Luke Young and Hudson, he breathed a sigh of relief. With the police and his son, at least, Aiden Roberts and others would never dare to lay a hand on him.

He sort of dodged the bullet.

In front of so many people, Hudson didn’t ask questions or rush to leave. He was waiting, waiting for Luke Young to get back, to see how this circus ended today.

In three minutes.

Luke Young went away and returned looking worse than ever.

“How about it, Mr. Young?”

Aiden Roberts asked with a smile, “I wasn’t lying to you, was I? Are you satisfied with the explanation I’ve given you?”

“Luke, you…”

Carter Moore was the opposite. The more triumphant Aiden Roberts became, the more uncertain he became. He reached out and grabbed Luke Young’s arm. “I don’t care whose phone number it was, or what he said to you, but one thing, Luke, is that I helped you get to where you are. You can’t just stand by and watch the Moore family in trouble.”

“If the Moore family falls, it will not be good for me, nor for you!”

That was it.

Carter Moore didn’t say it, but the implication was clear.

There were entreaties and threats.

Luke Young was where he was today thanks to Carter Moore’s implicit support. In the process, Carter Moore learned many of his secrets.

These secrets could be said to be Luke Young’s weak spot, even fatal weakness. If it got out, it was enough to kill him.

You wouldn’t help me?

Fine, then we would all die together!

I could put you in the position of chief of police, and I could pull you out of it.

As the saying goes, “Gifts blind the eyes.” You got favors from me, but you didn’t want to do anything for me?

No way!

“Mr. Moore, don’t worry. Just listen to me…”

Luke Young’s mouth twitched uncontrollably and he cursed in his heart. With Carter Moore on one side and Charles Campbell on the other, he couldn’t afford to offend either side. He was caught in the middle, between a rock and a hard place. He felt suck!

He pulled Carter Moore out the door. Luke Young shook his head and sighed, “Mr. Moore, let’s forget it.”

“Forget it?”

Carter Moore glowered, “These sons of bitches broke into the Moore Group, smashed up my company, and beat up my son and grandson. As chief of the police, you want me to fucking drop it?”

Carter Moore was about to explode!

Luke Young advised, “We need to be humble when we’re trapped in an inferior situation. There is nothing we can do. It’s just that Dylan and Isaac somehow managed to piss off someone they couldn’t afford to mess with…”
