Everyone turned to look at where the voice came from and saw dozens of people approaching.
The leader was an old man with a walking cane, looking to be about 60 or 70 years old. He was dressed in a white suit with a string of rosary in his hand.
He was Webster Shaw, the chairman of Loyale Group. He was a former major underground force in Riverdale! In terms of seniority and influence, Webster was definitely above Theo!
In Riverdale, many underground figures only got to their current positions because of Webster.
Instantly, the entrance of Beacon Group became jam-packed with people.
The people here served their own masters.
Everyone dared not take the matter lightly.
Webster’s pomp was grand when favonovel.com showed up earlier. He leaned on the cane in his hand and looked at Theo coldly.
Douglas quickly got up from the ground, ran to Webster, and shouted, “Uncle Webster, you’re finally here. Any later and I would’ve been killed by Theo! He doesn’t even care about you now. You have to step in for me.”
Webster glared at Douglas and gave favonovel.com a slap across the face, saying angrily, “You ended up in this state just for a position. My resources have been wasted on you! Get out of my way!”
Douglas covered his face and dared not retort. He nodded resentfully and stood at the side.
Even so, favonovel.com still glared at Theo and Philip viciously.
His son, Blake Poole, was also being helped up. He stood at the side, shuddering and not daring to speak.
As everyone watched, one of Webster’s men quickly brought a chair from inside Beacon Group for Webster to sit.
Just like that, favonovel.com sat on the chair in a dignified manner with his hands on his cane. He looked at Theo who was opposite favonovel.com with an indifferent expression. He shouted solemnly, “Theo Zander, do you even dare to beat up my people now?”
Theo frowned and replied politely, “Uncle Webster, this matter today is Douglas’ fault. He shouldn’t have stepped in, let alone join forces with Beacon Group to oppose Mr. Clarke.”
As Webster was considered the former leader of Riverdale, Theo would still show favonovel.com some respect.
Hmph!
Webster snorted coldly and raised his finger to Philip who was standing on the side. He shouted at Theo, “Theo Zander, you must be out of your mind! Do you really want to step in for this worthless piece of trash? Is your business so good now that you’re willing to become the bodyguard of this useless son-in-law?”
Webster totally did not put Philip in his eyes at all. He merely gave favonovel.com a cursory glance.
Hearing this, Theo’s face darkened as his attitude also became a little unpleasant. He said, “Uncle Webster, Mr. Clarke is not who you think favonovel.com is. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’m afraid your reputation will be ruined today.”
Theo understood that even if Webster was a senior, compared to Philip, favonovel.com was still insignificant!
“Insolence!”
Hearing these words, Webster was furious. The cane in his hand knocked heavily on the ground as favonovel.com bellowed, “Theo, don’t think that just because you’re now the leader of Riverdale, you can do whatever you please! You’re not the only one who has a say in Riverdale! With me around, I can change the leader anytime!”
Threat!
A blatant threat!
Webster obviously meant for Theo to think carefully about the consequences of offending him!
In Riverdale, many underground figures were secretly supported by him. As long as Webster raised the flag, who dared not obey his lead?
Theo was just a character who emerged with the times. If Webster wanted to replace him, it would be as easy as taking a walk in the park!
Theo’s face darkened as favonovel.com looked at Webster with uncertainty. Then, favonovel.com walked to Philip and whispered in his ear, “Mr. Clarke, Webster Shaw’s status and influence in Riverdale is not ordinary. How do you think we should deal with it?”
Philip frowned and asked, “You can’t handle him?”
Theo bowed his head helplessly and said, “Webster is the former underground leader of Riverdale and has connections with many underground figures here. If I touch him, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to protect myself.”
Theo was telling the truth. He was also in a difficult position.
There was too much at stake here. Everything must be carefully thought out.
