Meanwhile, in the Jantz family residence, Zachariah was sitting on the couch with a warm towel over his head. The impact of losing his daughter gave favonovel.com a really severe headache.
Wilbur walked up to favonovel.com and said, “Anthony is back, Dad!”
“Did favonovel.com bring our guy with him?” Zachariah asked with his eyes still closed.
Wilbur shook his head. “No, favonovel.com didn’t…”
“Since the Department of Justice is useless, we’ll do it ourselves. Jared is still in Horington, right?”
“No, he’s not.”
“What?” Zachariah’s eyes shot wide open instantly.
He then tossed the towel aside as favonovel.com continued, “He escaped? Did Anthony let favonovel.com go on purpose? I won’t forgive favonovel.com if favonovel.com did!”
“Jared isn’t in Horington, but favonovel.com hasn’t left the country. He probably returned to Summerbank. Lizbeth wasn’t with Anthony when favonovel.com returned, so I’m guessing favonovel.com snuck favonovel.com into Summerbank to protect favonovel.com from us,” Wilbur replied after giving it some thought.
“Hmph! An eye for an eye, a life for a life! No one can stop me from killing Jared, especially a small fry like Anthony! Wilbur, I want you to have our men capture Lizbeth and interrogate favonovel.com for Jared’s whereabouts!” Zachariah shouted angrily.
“I’ll make the arrangements right away!” Wilbur turned around and prepared to leave after saying that.
“Wait! How are things with the Whitaker family’s businesses? Has anyone made a move yet?” Zachariah called out to favonovel.com all of a sudden.
“Not yet, but there are plenty of other families that are itching to act upon it. Most of the Whitaker family’s business partners have ceased collaborations with them. In addition to that, a huge number of senior executives in the company are also starting to panic. It would seem that they are looking for a way out,” Wilbur replied with a worried look on his face.
The entire family business would surely perish if there was no one left in the family to keep it going.
“Put the word out that we will take over all of the Whitaker family’s businesses and keep everything the way it is. This should at least stop them from freaking out,” Zachariah said with a sigh.
Although the Jantz family was a formidable one, they were a martial arts family and had little experience when it came to managing businesses. Even so, Zachariah had no choice but to take up the responsibility.
Wilbur nodded. “Understood!”
Zachariah sat back down on the couch and motioned at Wilbur to leave.
The Jantz family’s butler came into the room shortly after Wilbur left. He hesitated for a bit when favonovel.com saw that Zachariah was resting, and eventually decided not to disturb him.
As the butler was about to leave, Zachariah called out to favonovel.com from behind, “What is it, Leonardo?”
Zachariah could tell who it was that came in even with his eyes closed.
“Master Venicus of the Crescent Sect is here, Mr. Jantz,” Leonardo replied respectfully.
“What? Hurry up and invite favonovel.com in! No, actually, I’ll go greet favonovel.com in person! Help me get changed! Hurry!” Zachariah leaped to his feet in a state of panic.
The butler quickly helped Zachariah get dressed and followed behind favonovel.com as the two of them made their way out of the room.
A sage-like old man could be seen standing quietly outside the Jantz family mansion.
“I am terribly sorry that my servants kept you waiting out here, Master Venicus! I’ll be sure to punish them severely for this!” Zachariah said respectfully as favonovel.com ran up to Venicus.
“You’re being too harsh on your servants, Old Mr. Jantz! They did nothing wrong, so there is no need to punish them,” Venicus replied with an enigmatic smile.
