Chapter 98 Just Waiting for the Watson family
Chapter 98 Just Waiting for the Watson family
Bernard was a little peeved.
If the Scott family wasn't so big, he would have only been unable to get out.
Being consistently arrogant, especially after that guy Luca Duncan died, he was now the lead of the
second generation of Stone City. When had he ever suffered this kind of aggravation?
Bernard’s mother glared at Bernard’s father and said, "You have to get that Flora and Crane, better
show him how his wife was killed!"
Like mother, like son.
Bernard's arrogance and domineering was in large probability inherited from his mother, on the
contrary, his father had always silent to everything over the years and did not dare to disobey Bernard’s
mother even a single word.
So after this statement from Bernard’s mother, Bernard decided that his father would immediately go
and do as he was told.
But Bernard’s father did not take up the matter this time, but said seriously, "Son, you may not know
that something big has happened recently."
"Our Scott family's estate has been bought out by the Saunders by a third, and that backer of yours,
Aston, is out of sight. He told me before he left that people from the Safety Department are likely to
have their eyes on the black market."
"What!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Bernard was already weak, and when he heard this, he even nearly collapsed on the ground.
His family estate was swallowed up by a full third?
What the hell is going on here?
How the black market had been discovered, and how they be accountable to the Watson family?
Aston was at most considered a backer of Bernard, not a backer of the Scott family, the Watson family
was.
The Watson family had been vigorously developing the black market economy over the years, and
even more so, they wanted to regroup within Stone City, and if they failed, their Scott family could end
up like Duncan family!
Bernard’s mother had never been involved in these business matters, so naturally she didn't feel
anything. She was just more concerned about the Scott family's estate being swallowed by a third.
"What the hell is the Saunders trying to do? Why are so many of our properties being swallowed?"
Bernard’s mother asked two questions in succession.
"It's obvious they want to annex us, and then the Saunders's position will be as stable, and as for the
question of why they have such a large amount of money, it is also clear."
Bernard’s father let out a bitter laugh, "Mena Foundation is an organization that suddenly appeared. It
spent first ten billion, this time more than ten billion, it is wealthy, I'm afraid that even the Watson family
must be afraid when they see it."
Bernard sucked in a breath of cold air.
More than ten billion?
This kind of largesse is unimaginable.
As the young director of the Scott Group, Bernard knew the situation of his own family, once the value
fell to the middle and low valley, it was estimated that only three or four billion would be needed to fully
acquire it, and ten billion was enough to acquire two or three Scott Group.
He said, "Dad, so what should we do next? Did Aston say anything else?"
"There's a man coming from his family, he's said to be a close friend of Ma’am Smith and he will help
us out then, but what we need to do now is to control the Chambers family. As long as we take the
Chambers family under control, we can infiltrate the city village construction project from the other side,
and as long as we take the city village to start the construction of the black market, we won't be
considered defeats. "
Bernard’s father responded.
Bernard took a deep breath and made up his mind.
"Dad, I'm going to hold a business summit for the city, all businesses must come. This time we have to
follow the Duncan family's example and complete our control over the economic market of Stone City."
"Especially the Chambers family, they've always been a bunch of hobbits, and they'll definitely be the
first to follow as soon as I beckon."
He was very confident about that.
Bernard’s father nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, I need to make a trip to the
provincial city to meet the people from the Watson family."
"Okay."
Soon, a message informed the city.
"The Scott family is going to hold a summit in Stone City, what are they trying to do?"
Some people were stunned.
This matter was still really greatly unexpected.
At first, they only thought that the Scott family had been in a lot of trouble recently, first the young
director of their family was taken into custody, and then the Scott family's industries started to be
constantly annexed and acquired.
Now the Scott family, which was already in great trouble, held a meeting at this critical moment, and
one and all understood that things were in big trouble.
"The Scott family is to start working on this now, could it be that they want to establish their followers of
the Scott family?"
"Damn, who are we supposed to stand with at this point when no one can see the situation?"
"It is a big deal, and an even big hassle, and if we stand in the wrong side, it's only going to be greatly
worse."
"I want to pretend to be sick and excuse myself."
"If you dare pretend to be sick today, tomorrow you'll be so angry and you'll be really sick and your
large family fortune will be gone."
A lot of people from the business community in Stone City were talking about it.
Finley met up with Kara, with a gloomy look on his face.
"Mr. Saunders, I'm afraid this matter is tricky, the Scott family must have been forced by us to make
some move."
"I just got word that the lead of the Scott family went ahead to the provincial capital, guessing that he
was to ask the Watson family for help."
Finley gave a general account of the information he had received.
Instantly the two men felt things were getting worse and soon they contacted Crane.
"That's the way it is, Boss Smith, so make a decision."
Finley did not dare to make a decision on the matter.
Not to mention anything else, the situation at hand alone is only considered to be a showdown between
the two sides.
As long as they were able to wrap it up, then they would be able to end it all and completely take in all
of Stone City's above and below ground circles.
But once he couldn't wrap it up, by the time the Watson family got involved, Finley didn't feel that Crane
would be able to handle it with any certainty.
Kara's face was a little paler than Finley's.
If the Lawson family was considered the uncrowned king of the entire Q State's above-ground circle,
then the Watson family was the biggest powerhouse, even vaguely deviating from the Lawson family's
sphere of authority.
"If the Watson family comes, the vast majority of the forces in Stone City will serve them, and we'll be
isolated in Stone City by then."
Kara understood this deeply.
Both she and Finley felt that there was only one way, and that was to purge as quickly as possible and
settle the Scott family.
But!
"Finally they went to invite the Watson family."
Crane was a bit surprised, but that was the look of some impatience for waiting too long.
The corner of Kara's mouth twitched slightly as she asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Smith?"
"What else could I mean? When the Watson family reaches its hand, I will cut if off to prepare for our
move into the province."
