Chapter 738: Severance of the Future
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Watsons’ luxurious villa, Andrew, the head of the Brookes, who used to be a top family in LA, was wearing silk pajamas and sitting in the middle of a hall while sipping tea comfortably.
Although the days of living with the Watsons in San Jose weren’t as comfortable as they were when he was a family head in LA, Reynold treated the Brookes well. In addition to providing them with two four-story villas, he also occasionally gave them some tea leaves, tobacco, wine, and so on.
Andrew wasn’t sitting here alone. Sitting on the sofa opposite him was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He was Andrew’s son, Shaun Brooke, the father of Aston and Estelle.
“Dad, it’s already so late. The Elite Business Exchange held in San Francisco must already be over, right?” Shaun asked while rubbing his hands together with glistening eyes.
Andrew looked at the time and nodded. “Logically speaking, it should be almost over. I think it won’t be long before Reynold comes home.”
He let out a long sigh and said with regret, “If nothing had happened to the Brookes, we should have also been invited to the exchange this time. We wouldn’t have to sit here and wait for Reynold’s news.”
When Shaun heard this, a trace of resentment appeared in his eyes. “Yes, the Brookes used to be a top family in LA. If it wasn’t because of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, we wouldn’t have to stay with the Watsons and depend on them. We could have partic.i.p.ated in this Elite Business Exchange to build more connections! It’s all that b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s fault! Dad, when I think about this, I want to rip that b.a.s.t.a.r.d apart alive!”
With a gloomy look, Andrew exclaimed resentfully, “I’m just like you! However, we have to endure it for a while longer! But the opportunity might be coming soon!
“This time, the Elite Business Exchange should have been hosted by the Watsons at first. But since the Watsons gave the rights to the Kingstons, the Kingstons will definitely vigorously support the Watsons. In that case, it likely won’t take long for the Watsons to be able to expand into the San Francisco market, and there’ll be a chance for them to become the fourth largest magnate in San Francisco!
“When the time comes, we will be able to borrow the Watsons’ power and make a comeback. With the help of the Watsons, we should be able to gain a firm foothold in San Jose soon. Within a few years, the Brookes might be able to become the next top family in San Jose!
“At that time, we will seek revenge on Lucas Gray. Let’s see how long that punk can continue being arrogant!”
While Andrew spoke, a terrifying murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Back then, the Brookes had been fighting for many years in LA, and they had painstakingly managed to become a top family almost on par with the Parkers and the Owens of LA.
But because of Lucas’s appearance, their efforts in the past two decades had gone down the drain overnight, and the Brookes even had to sell their hard-earned businesses to him!
He would take revenge on Lucas sooner or later!
Shaun also had a murderous gaze in his eyes. “Yes, that punk ruined the Brookes and also caused my son to become crippled. I must settle scores with him! If I don’t kill him, I swear I won’t be a man!”
Once Lucas was mentioned, both Shaun and Aston clenched their jaws in hatred.
After a moment of silence, Andrew changed the topic. “Esttele went to San Francisco this time. I wonder if there’ll be any gains.”
At the mention of his daughter Estelle, Shaun smiled. “Estelle is pretty good at socializing, and she’s already made friends with several of the powerful families in San Jose. She followed a young man named Jake Watson to San Jose this time. She even managed to enter the ordinary business exchange. I reckon we’ll be able to form some new connections that will be of great benefit to the Brookes’ future development.”
“Yes, that’s not bad.” Feeling heartened, Andrew nodded. “You taught your daughter well. Moreover, you can introduce her to some men so that she can find a suitable marriage partner as soon as possible. That’ll be of great help to the Brookes…”
Bang!
While the two were still discussing how the Brookes were going to develop and grow their power in the future, the villa’s door was suddenly slammed open from outside. Afterward, a dozen or so burly men donning the uniforms unique to the Watsons’ bodyguards rushed in from the outside.
Andrew and Shaun were both shocked. They immediately stood up from the couch and looked at them with displeasure.
“You should be the Watsons’ bodyguards. Why did you barge in so rudely without even knocking on the door? Tomorrow, I’ll ask Mr. Watson just who gave you the guts!” Shaun hollered at the bodyguards furiously.
But when one of the bodyguards standing at the front heard this, his face didn’t change at all, and he merely said coldly, “By Mr. Watson’s order, the Brookes are to be eradicated from LA from today onward for offending the master of California!”
With his order, these bodyguards behind him immediately whipped out their daggers, which were s.h.i.+ning with a chilling murderous glint.
Andrew and Shaun were shocked. This… this is genuine murderous intent… Are the Watsons going to kill us today?
Andrew stepped forward and forced himself to endure the horror in his heart to ask extremely reluctantly, “I… I want to ask clearly. How exactly did the Brookes offend anyone? Who is the master of California? Even if you want us to die, you have to let us know the reason!”
At this moment, he was really full of reluctance and indignation!
As the head of the Brookes, he had been devoted to promoting the Brookes and leading them to glory in the last two decades or so.
Initially, he had already been close to succeeding, and the Brookes had painstakingly become a top family in LA. But just because he had misjudged Lucas’s strength and tried to make use of him, he had accidentally caused the entire Brooke family to collapse overnight. His years of hard work had gone to waste and fell into Lucas’s hands!
Now, he could finally see some hope of a comeback and was planning a beautiful future. Yet he was suddenly cruelly told that the Brookes had offended the master of California, who wanted them to disappear from this world immediately.
How could Andrew accept this?
But since the other party was called the master of California, it meant that his status was far above the Brookes and the Watsons, and he was an existence not to be disobeyed!
However, even after Andrew racked his brains, he still didn’t know who this person was and how the Brookes had offended such a terrifying existence!
The lead bodyguard sneered.. “In that case, I’ll fulfill your request before you die. The master of California is an extremely young man with the last name Gray from Orange County, and he has a feud with your family!”
