Chapter 279 Work Along Both Lines
Chapter 279 Work Along Both Lines
"You want to run away now? Are you afraid now? It’s too late!"
Seeing that everyone was with his or her suitcase, Humphrey assumed that Maximilian was about to
run back to H City.
Humphrey wouldn’t allow Maximilian to run away. He was still waiting for Leon and his people to take
revenge on Maximilian.
So many rich kids of Gibson had been stabbed three times. Even if Humphrey thought with his toes, he
could imagine how furious those rich kids’ families would be.
Maximilian glanced at Humphrey, showing no interest in talking with him.
Laura wanted to have a small chat with Humphrey, but Marcus was eager to go back home to take a
closer look at that raw stone, so he pulled Laura straight out of the hotel entrance.
Maximilian and Victoria brushed past Humphrey, ignoring him.
Angry and ashamed, Humphrey pulled at Maximilian’s arm and thundered, "You can’t leave! You must
stay at Gibson and accept the punishment!"
"You are insane." Maximilian shook off Humphrey’s hand and pushed him away.
"What the fuck! How dare you push me! Who do you think you are?" Roaring, Humphrey rushed
towards Maximilian, wanting to pick a fight with him.
Wyatt waved his hand. His bodyguards rushed up and beat Humphrey up. Humphrey cried in pain.
"Mr. Lee, I beg your pardon. It’s my negligence." Wyatt bowed down to make an apology.
"It has nothing to do with you. He is insane. That’s all."
Wyatt accompanied Maximilian and Victoria out of the hotel. Standing at the hotel entrance, Marcus
and Laura stared blankly at the Lincoln limousine in front of them.
Wyatt stepped forward, opened the car door and said respectfully, "Mr. Lee, everyone, please get in the
car."
"This… this is the car that will send us back? It’s too luxurious." Marcus whispered.
"It’s nothing, just an ordinary car."
Victoria cast a glance at Maximilian and then said to her parents, "Dad, mom, just get in the car. Let’s
go back first."
Marcus and Laura came to their sense and got into the car together.
They got in the car one by one. When Maximilian got in the car, Wyatt closed the car door and waved
Maximilian goodbye.
Laura stared at Maximilian and asked, "What’s going on? Who’s that man on earth?"
"I don’t know exactly. He seems to be the boss of the auction company. Anyway, he is quite powerful in
Gibson. Maybe he is a little surprised at how lucky I was."
"Humph! You were lucky? If you dare to get into trouble again, I will definitely throw you out on the
street. You’d better pray that they won’t find us. If they come to take revenge on us, I will kick you out of
the house at once!"
Maximilian remained silent, smiling. Victoria comforted Laura and then Laura cooled down.
Geekoo First Hospital.
Frankie, Leon and the others were reunited in the hospital. Since they had all been stabbed three
times, all of them were staying in General Surgery Department.
Frankie stared at Leon, who was being sent into his ward, in astonishment. Watching Leon’s bandaged
wounds, he found them so familiar.
"What happened to you? How come you were stabbed too?"
Leon put on a sad face and stared at Frankie with teary eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"I lost the bet. Both Wyatt and Davies took that loser’s side. All of us were forced to kowtow to him nine
times and be stabbed three times."
Frankie’s face darkened. He said in puzzlement, "How come you lost the bet? Did you fail to buy the
best raw stone?"
"We bought the best stone, while that loser bought the worst one. Everyone said that it was just a
stone, but it turned out to be a stone with full jade inside!"
Leon said with his teeth clenched. However, Frankie’s expression was complex. It showed surprise,
astonishment, bewilderment, and shock and so on at the same time.
"How could it be?"
The first thought popping into Frankie’s head when he came to his sense was that there must have
been some dirty trick behind this.
Leon wiped away his tears and said resentfully, "Enough of that. Frankie, I want my revenge. We have
to take our revenge!"
Frankie meditated for a while. From the moment he had lay in hospital, Frankie had been thinking
about how to get revenge. And now he already had a plan.
"Zakariya and the others have also been stabbed?" This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
"Yeah. We couldn’t do that to ourselves. It was the bodyguard of that Wyatt who did that to us."
"Huh."
Frankie snorted, "Wyatt will definitely give in to me in the future. From then on, there will be no room
left for him in Gibson. Let’s talk about what we can do at the moment first. Ask Zakariya and the others
to contact their family members, and let their families gang up on the Griffith family of H City."
"Gang up on the Griffith family of H City? The Griffith family that the loser lives off?"
Leon asked, his eyes squinting.
"Yes. Their families are strong enough to defeat the Griffith family in business. On the other hand, I will
contact the big boss of the provincial capital. I will make use of his connections and power to root
Connor out. At that time, we will take over the Griffith family and the underworld of H City, and we can
insult that loser with no difficulty then."
Leon’s eyes gleamed. He said with excitement, "Great idea. If we work along both lines, that loser is
sure to lose. But Frankie, you really are going to seek refuge with that one in provincial capital?"
"Seek refuge? No, we will just take advantage of his power. Maybe I will replace him in the future. At
that time, I will have my own territory in the provincial capital."
Frankie was full of fighting spirits. He was already imagining the scenes that he removed Connor, that
H City’s territory was under his control, and that he pulled all his resources together and finally owned
the provincial capital.
Leon was also thrilled to hear that. This was not simply revenge. If they dealt with this in a tactful way,
they could make a fortune out of it. This was absolutely a great deal.
"Since Frankie have come up with this wonderful idea, then I could just rest assured. I will talk to them
now. I will ask them to act miserably to their families as much as possible. At the same time, I will do
the mediation work between them. I’m sure that I will unify all their families’ power."
Leon put on his thinking cap as he spoke, wondering by which means he should put the Griffith family
down.
"I’ve searched the background information of the Griffith family. They are in medical business, and their
main customers are in H City. I’m afraid it won’t be easy for us to interfere in their business directly.
However, they have been expanding their business recently, and they have huge debts."
After that, Frankie took out a pile of papers from the bedside table and put them into Leon’s hand.
Leon glanced over the papers and said with a smile, "Huge debts? Enormous debts. Their debt ratio is
nearly up to 90%. As long as their loans are suspended, the Griffith family has to file for bankruptcy at
any time."
"Zakariya’s family is in real estate industry, and they have been dealing with the banks all the time.
Finding someone in the banking system to handle the Griffith family is as easy as pie for them. I’m
going to tell them about it, and we are able to take the Griffith family down within one week!"
"When I take over the Griffith family, I wonder what look he is going to have when that loser sees me
again!"
Leon was getting more and more complacent, as if their plan had already worked.
"Hurry up. It’d be best if their loans are suspended tomorrow."
