1230 Surprising Outcome
Joel and Anthony had both abandoned their dignity and were willing to become Brett’s dogs, yet Brett actually said that they weren’t qualified to be his dogs.
Although what he said sounded extremely insulting, Joel and Anthony didn’t feel humiliated. Instead, they were afraid.
If Brett even refused to let them be his dogs, what value would they have?
People of no value were worthless to the Hamiltons, and they would end up extremely miserable!
!!
Joel and Anthony immediately knelt in front of Brett without hesitation.
“Mr. Hamilton! Although we are indeed insignificant compared to you, and we’re just trash, we can still be of some use! As long as you say the word, we will do anything for you! Be it destroying the Hales and the Coles or dealing with other defiant families, we can definitely get the job done!
“Please give us a chance to perform, Mr. Hamilton!”
The two of them had no dignity at all as they knelt on the floor and begged Brett to reconsider them.
Brett smiled lightly. “Oh, is that so? Then I’ll be kind and give you a chance to perform.
“Since the Hales have turned down my good intentions, get rid of them first. I want to see if you really have the ability. If you do a good job, I will naturally consider letting you help me handle some other matters.
“But if you can’t even accomplish such a simple thing, it means that you’re just blowing your trumpet. You should know very well what happens to useless good-for-nothings who are all bark and no bite!”
Joel’s and Anthony’s hearts skipped a beat, and their faces turned bitter.
Although they had said it themselves, they started feeling conflicted now that Brett really told them to destroy the Hales.
They had indeed brought many experts from Arizona and Nevada, but this was the Hales’ base camp, and the Hales definitely wouldn’t have fewer people than them.
Moreover, Edmund was here, and he had brought numerous people too. If they really got into a fight, Edmund would definitely stand on Bruce’s side.
In that case, it would be difficult to decide who won.
Besides, there was also the Sawyers, who should be on the same side as the Coles and the Hales. Joel and Anything were on their turf too, so they definitely wouldn’t have a good time.
Not to mention taking down the Hales, they might even end up getting destroyed by the families of California.
Joel and Anthony just wanted to show their loyalty to Brett, but they didn’t really plan to attack the Hales at this time!
Joel and Anthony were on the verge of tears, and they even felt as though they had shot themselves in the foot.
Seeing their hesitant expressions, Brett sneered. He knew that these two begging him on their knees were just bragging. They were actually just good-for-nothings.
Brett didn’t take such good-for-nothings seriously.
On the contrary, the three helmsmen who didn’t plan to succ.u.mb to the Hamiltons had quite the backbone and made Brett see them in a better light.
“How about this? Mr. Cole, Mr. Hale, and Mr. Sawyer, I’ll give you another day. I hope you’ll seriously consider what I said. If you’re willing to submit to me, the Hamiltons will definitely not treat you badly.
“That’s all I have to say. I will come back at this time tomorrow. I hope you will give me a satisfactory answer.”
With that, Brett turned around and walked straight to the entrance of the hall. He actually didn’t pursue the matter of Edmund, Bruce, and Ethan refusing to pledge allegiance to the Hamiltons. Instead, he gave them another day to consider and even promised to give them some benefits.
This treatment immediately stunned Joel and Anthony!
They had knelt without caring about their pride at all. They had tried their best to show their loyalty to Brett and had even been willing to be his dogs, but Brett didn’t even pay attention to them.
However, Edmund and Bruce spoke rudely to Brett and even directly rejected him. But Brett actually took the initiative to show that he valued them. The drastic difference in att.i.tude left them on the verge of vomiting blood.
Seeing Brett about to leave the Hale residence with his bodyguard, Bruce looked at Lucas and hurriedly said, “Mr. Hamilton, please wait a moment!
“You don’t have to wait until tomorrow. The Hales have already decided not to pledge allegiance to the Hamiltons. Please forgive us!”
Lucas happened to make a rare appearance here today. Of course, Bruce hoped to use this opportunity to completely resolve the matter with the Hamiltons.
Even though Brett gave them until tomorrow, the answer would still be the same, so they obviously had to end this quickly.
They couldn’t possibly wait until Brett brought his people here tomorrow. If Bruce asked Lucas to come over again, it would be wasting Lucas’s time.
Edmund also stood up and said, “It’s the same for the Coles. I’ve already made up my mind. Even if the Coles get destroyed, it’s absolutely impossible for us to pledge allegiance to the Hamiltons!”
Ethan opened his mouth and looked at the two decisive people in front of him. For some reason, he was at a loss for words.
He should have stepped forward like Edmund and Bruce and resolutely rejected the Hamiltons’ recruitment. But he couldn’t bring himself to say anything when it was time for him to speak.
In the end, he still chickened out.
Brett stopped in his tracks, narrowed his eyes, looked at Edmund and Bruce, and suddenly smiled. “Oh, is that so? In that case, even if your families are destroyed because of this, you still won’t pledge allegiance to the Hamiltons?”
Although he was still smiling, it was mirthless.
Cold murderous intent appeared deep in Brett’s eyes.
Edmund and Bruce immediately felt a pressure that made their scalps tingle.
But they still nodded without hesitation and said firmly, “Yes!”
Brett laughed and said with a twisted smile, “Very good! Since you’d rather have your families destroyed than submit the Hamiltons, I’ll fulfill your wishes! From tomorrow onward, the Coles and the Hales won’t appear again!”
As soon as he said this, the elderly man behind him suddenly exuded a strong murderous aura while staring at Edmund and Bruce, making them shudder involuntarily.
Brett turned to look at Ethan, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat. “What about the Sawyers? Are you planning to make the same decision as them?”
Large droplets of sweat emerged from Ethan’s face, and his back had long been drenched in cold sweat.
After hearing Brett’s question, Ethan gritted his teeth and said, “I, Ethan Sawyer, am willing to lead the Sawyers to pledge allegiance to the Hamiltons!”
