The once harmonious atmosphere was shattered once again.

Everyone followed the gaze and discovered that the speaker was actually Maurice Yarrow!

You should know that the Three Blade Group and Aron Jackson had a deep enmity, and according to the information they were currently investigating, Aron Jackson was closely related to Julius Reed.

As such, the young man they were after naturally became the sworn enemy of the Three Blade Group.

Both emotionally and rationally, Maurice Yarrow had no reason to refuse.

In fact, he should have been the one leading the charge!

Being extorted for several billions in ransom, who could bear that?

Especially since the Three Blade Group had been flourishing in recent years, growing ever larger.

Now that Black-wind Entertainment was forced to close and its influence in Gonzalez City was being continuously squeezed, could Maurice Yarrow, the boss himself, really give up this opportunity?

But what they didn’t know was that Maurice Yarrow had long experienced the formidable nature of Julius Reed.

Although the pro-war faction within the gang was strong, Bridger Davenport’s analysis of the pros and cons made Yarrow choose to wait and see.

Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, without having to enter the battlefield himself?

Moreover, these families all harbored deep hatred toward Julius Reed, and the Three Blade Group wanted to be the oriole, not the mantis.

Although they all said it was just a young man, who would really consider that youth just an average young person?

To have these bigvvigs trampled beneath the feet of a young man?

That’s simply nonsense!

“Mr. Yarrow, what do you mean? The overall situation in the Five-river Province is paramount. Now everyone is working together to eliminate this menace, and yet you’re thinking of retreating at the last moment! As I know, you want to develop in Gonzalez City! If we can settle this matter today, we can

help you eliminate Aron Jackson and take back your property!”

Stanislaus Potter tried to offer reassurance in his address.

If we’re talking about combat power, within the Five-river Province, only Cesar Pendleton and Maurice Yarrow could be considered top-notch.

The other big shots were financially strong, but when it came to manpower, they were somewhat lacking.

Stanislaus Potter had long harbored intense hatred for Julius Reed, dreaming of the day the latter would die, and thus he treasured this opportunity greatly!

Now that Maurice Yarrow wanted to back out, he had no choice but to dangle the carrot of Gonzalez City.

After all, they didn’t care about the tiny piece of land that was Gonzalez City; they hadn’t even developed over in Five-river Province, who would bother with a small city?

But Maurice Yarrow was different, his business relied heavily on the port.

Especially the now-closed Black-wind Entertainment, which could bring in quite a profit.

Thus did Stanislaus Potter speak, attempting to tempt the Three Blade Group.

One had to admit, Maurice Yarrow was indeed somewhat tempted.

He was even hesitant about whether to take action or not.

The allure of Gonzalez City was simply too great for him!

Near the port, with a large number of tourists every year, and they were all wealthy at that.

As long as he could take control of Gonzalez City, he could expand the revenue of the Three Blade Group by at least twenty percent!

Black-wind Entertainment, that’s a veritable gold mine!

But just at that moment, Bridger Davenport gently kicked Maurice Yarrow in the thigh, causing the latter to quickly regain his composure.

As the mastermind of the Three Blade Group, Bridger Davenport’s approach to issues was always strategic and farsighted.

He often resists the temptation of immediate benefits, securing lasting gains instead.

The rapid expansion of the Three Blade Group in recent years was not unrelated to Bridger Davenport’s decision-making.

Therefore, Maurice Yarrow followed his advice obediently, even if he had some tempting ideas himself, he respected Bridger Davenport’s opinion greatly.

In fact, Bridger Davenport’s vision proved to be quite unique.

He often saw the bigger picture, winning huge benefits for the Three Blade Group.

“This matter is of great importance; I need to discuss it with the brothers first,” he said.

Maurice Yarrow stood up and looked at the bosses in the conference room.

“Mr. Yarrow! As the boss of the Three Blade Group, can’t you even make this decision?”

“Exactly! Who doesn’t know that you have the final say? You founded the Three Blade Group all by yourself, what’s there to discuss! Are you thinking of backing out?”

“If we’re going to go, we should move quickly. If you miss this opportunity, we won’t help you anymore! If I’m not mistaken, you must have faced a huge setback in Gonzalez City; otherwise, why would you be stuck without progress?”

One by one, they expressed their dissatisfaction with Maurice Yarrow’s equivocal attitude.

They could hardly believe that a boss known for being autocratic would listen to the opinions of subordinates.

After leaving the conference room, Maurice Yarrow frowned and asked, “Why not agree to their demands? You should know Gonzalez City is a huge economic source for us, and for the Three Blade Group, it’s a place we must fight for!”

Maurice Yarrow voiced his confusion, “Bridger, you’ve been insisting that I don’t make a move! But now that everyone is joining forces and several big shots are taking action together, if we’re too slow we might not even get a sip of the soup! And if we don’t participate today, we’ll inevitably be ostracized by those people! The Three Blade Group doesn’t have the strength to contend with so many people uniting!”

As the boss of the Three Blade Group, he very much wanted to join in with those people.

Because if he missed this chance, it was very likely that those people would not agree to share the cake with him again in the future.

The terms offered by Stanislaus Potter were even more tempting.

Gonzalez City, such a big piece of cake!

“Boss, why don’t you think about it? If those people were confident, why would they join forces? To deal with a young man, do they really need such a big show? I don’t buy their story!”

Bridger Davenport shook his head and said, “If things are really as such, it tells us one thing! These people have taken a loss, and a big one at that! Think about the Leopold Family, they were once so glorious, and now Atlas Leopold has had one of his legs broken! As for Cesar Pendleton, I believe you’re even more aware of the humiliation he has faced.”

He sighed deeply, looked at the arguing bosses in the room, and shook his head, “Stanislaus Potter’s son has also been crippled. And us? We’ve lost some money, that’s all! Strictly speaking, we have the least motivation to become

Julius Reed’s adversary. I wonder why you are so proactive, just for Gonzalez

Hearing Bridger Davenport’s words, Maurice Yarrow began to calm down.

Although it was a substantial sum of money, compared to the people in the room, he indeed had no deep grudge or hatred against Julius Reed. But at the same time, he realized that his opponent was indeed very powerful.

“So what should we do?” he asked.

“We watch and wait! The Three Blade Group won’t become anyone’s sacrificial gown, nor will we be cannon fodder! While Julius Reed is at odds with these big shots, why not take the opportunity to develop ourselves? This is a golden opportunity that comes once in a blue moon!” Bridger Davenport advised.

He knew that even if those people in the room could bring down Julius Reed, they would pay a price.

And when that time came, the strongest Three Blade Group would surely be able to swallow up others’ assets.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you!”

After struggling for a while, Maurice Yarrow chose to give up the temptation. But just then, a group of people slowly walked in through the long corridor.

“Miguel Abbott!”

Seeing the incoming person, Maurice Yarrow couldn’t help but frown, “What’s he doing here!”
