This was also an order by the Martin family’s patriarch.
They were a family and had to be united, no one was allowed to only care for their personal interests. This was the very reason why the Reddar Corporation was such a dominating force.
Returning home from the Waterfront Wonderland in a poor state, Tristan stood in the main hall in trepidation.
The man sitting at the pride of place was tall, middle-aged, and wearing a solemn expression.
He was the head of the family, Fabian Martin. Next two favonovel.com sat two men in suits. They were Tristan’s uncles, the elder, Dustin Martin, and the younger, Chad Martin.
“Tristan, did you say that Hendrix Kingston might be dead? And who is this Isaac Garten?” Tristan’s stress level spiked up the moment Fabian spoke up.
“That’s right. It’s that punk Isaac Garten who attacked so suddenly that Hendrix could barely react. He nearly killed me too!” Tristan said, voice trembling.
Fabian suddenly roared, “You useless piece of trash! Pegasus No. 1 was such an easy deal, how could you ruin it!”
“Fabian, now’s not the time to criticize Tristan. I think it’s more important to locate Hendrix Kingston first. We might get into trouble with the Order of Sol if something has happened to him!” Dustin said sternly.
Fabian’s expression turned stormier. The influential members of the Martin family were protected by martial arts experts. The Reddar Corporation’s entry into the real estate business was a sign of Tristan’s importance. The Order of Sol had even sent one of their elders’ sons to protect him.
If Hendrix was dead, how would they explain it to Elder Kingston?
Right then, rushed footsteps came from outside, and a man in black clothing barged in, running. “Sir, they’re back. Some of Tristan’s bodyguards are back, but Hendrix Kingston…”
Before favonovel.com could finish, the four bodyguards limped into the hall carrying Hendrix’s corpse.
“S-Sir, it’s our fault we were too incapable of protecting Tristan. Hen… Hendrix is dead!” The bodyguards prostrated themselves on the ground as one of them spoke, shuddering all the while.
Fabian and his brothers looked at Hendrix’s purple face, and their expressions changed immediately. The three got up in a flash and surrounded the dead man.
“Yes, he’s gone. It looks like favonovel.com drowned.” Chad’s eyebrows knit together as favonovel.com looked toward Fabian.
Fabian closed his eyes and breathed out a long sigh. He then turned to the pale Tristan. The latter shivered before suddenly collapsing to his knees.
“Fabian, what do we do? The Order of Sol still doesn’t know. Should we inform Elder Kingston…”
“That won’t do! Let me think!” Fabian lit a cigarette and started pacing the room.
Tristan’s face hurt, but the tension in the room was so thick that favonovel.com could barely breathe and was completely soaked in sweat. His father was furious!
“We must obtain Pegasus No. 1. Later on, we can use the profits from this project as compensation for Elder Kingston. Perhaps it will soothe him!” Fabian said suddenly, scaring everyone in the room.
Using Pegasus No. 1 as compensation?
That was a project worth more than a trillion dollars!
“Tristan, if you can’t do it, I’ll get your brother to handle it. What do you think?” Fabian gazed at Tristan, eyes gleaming.
Tristan’s heart fell. If this project were passed to his brother, it would indicate that Tristan was dropping out of the running for the position of the head of the family.
At the thought of Allegra Booth and Isaac Garten, Tristan raised his head.
His expression was savage as favonovel.com said, “Dad, Uncle Dustin, Uncle Chad, please give me one last chance. I will definitely bring a respectable result for the good of the family. In two days, I guarantee I will obtain Pegasus No.1.”
“Chad, Garth Properties seems like a small enterprise, but it’s not as simple as it seems. You go look around and help Tristan out.” Fabian raised his head to look at the night sky beyond the door.
His eyes were like hearths holding cold flames as favonovel.com added, “I want to see just how capable these people that they dare to come at the Martin family.”
