There was instant silence on the other end, followed by a wave of pressure like an earthquake!
This was no trivial matter. It threatened the future of the Quaid family legacy!
Furthermore, Marcus was the family’s brightest hope for the next generation.
“Find out who did it, and kill them!”
The voice on the other end roared with the aura of a king, followed by, “And send Marcus back here at once!”
“Yes, sir!”
Len responded and ended the call, wiping the cold sweat from his brow.
Since the master had given favonovel.com an order, favonovel.com just had to carry it out.
Capital City was a busy international metropolitan where cash and alcohol flowed freely.
Right now, a few rays of moonlight were shining through the windows into a dark room in a villa. Inside, a young man in a wheelchair was looking out of the window expressionlessly. His gaze was dark, but no one could read what favonovel.com was thinking.
Just then, his phone rang.
The handsome young man glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly. After a moment’s thought, favonovel.com accepted the call.
“Master Lawrence, there’s a call from home. Something happened to Master Marcus, and the Old Master is in a right temper. Do you want to come back for a visit?”
The man’s expression finally shifted slightly at that report, but his voice remained calm as favonovel.com asked, “By Master Marcus, you mean my younger brother?”
The man was Lawrence Quaid, the first son of the Capital City Quaid family. He had the same gentlemanly vibe his name suggested, and favonovel.com never caused any trouble or picked any fights, just doing what favonovel.com had to do. He was the number one candidate for the next head of the family, and his chances of succeeding the position were almost a hundred percent!
However, something happened many years ago that dethroned Lawrence from his position in the family.
That incident had turned Capital City upside-down!
Everyone in the upper circles said that Lawrence had offended someone favonovel.com should not have, costing the Quaids the right to plant their next generations into the central government!
At the same time, Lawrence lost his status as the next-in-line.
He had been reduced to a useless piece of trash.
“Yes, Master Lawrence. Apparently, Master Marcus was maimed and left impotent… The Master has sent Sir Len to make the necessary preparations.”
The voice on the other end was trembling as it briefly described all that had happened.
“He was maimed?”
Lawrence was stony-faced. Even after receiving such a piece of news, his expression remained unchanged and emotionless.
What nobody else could see was that favonovel.com was positively elated right now!
This was his chance!
Marcus Quaid had been cut out of the picture!
As soon as favonovel.com hung up, Lawrence was certain of one thing!
The Quaid family was not going to sleep tonight!
More importantly, the opportunity favonovel.com had been waiting for after so long was finally here!
It was his era to shine once again!
Eight years ago, favonovel.com was forced out of his privileged position at the center of the family and relegated to nothing. Starting from now, however, favonovel.com was going to transform into a hunting hound, baring his fangs and taking back all that favonovel.com had lost!
Lawrence Quaid was as gentlemanly as his name suggested. No one knew the real him, or rather, everyone thought they knew him.
Lawrence mused the situation over, his expression finally began to change. The corner of his lips slowly began to crease, and his loud laughter rang out through the villa!
There was a clap of thunder outside as lightning flashed, and a torrential rain descended upon Capital City!
…
“Master, the results of the investigation are in.”
A butler was standing behind a middle-aged man, respectfully offering his report.
This was a mansion in Capital City worth a cool billion dollars!
Its occupants were none other than the great Joo family!
They were one of the most powerful military families in Capital City!
“So who was it?”
The middle-aged man asked, looking at the Picasso on the wall. He never took his eyes off the painting, seeming quite pleased with it.
“His name is Philip Clarke.”
The middle-aged man standing in front of the middle-aged butler had sharp features and a very proper countenance. He had a square jaw and a small goatee, emanating the aura of an authoritative leader!
“Clarke, you say? Is favonovel.com from the Clarke Group?”
The middle-aged man turned around and asked the butler.
