Chapter 1389: Yang Ming Has Spoken/ How to Choose

“Send Goode’s head to the Butterfly Family within five days.” Wang Songshan said his condition indifferently, “Otherwise, there is no room to maneuver.”

“You… Wang Songshan, don’t push too far!” Thomas’s weak tone was suddenly filled with extreme hatred after he heard Wang Songshan’s request, “Your request is completely unreasonable!”

“Am I pushing too far? ” Wang Songshan sneered, “Thomas, why didn’t you say that it was pushing too far when you were pressuring the Butterfly Family before? Why didn’t you say that it was unreasonable? Yet you are telling me that I’m pushing too far? Aren’t you embarrassed?”

“This…” Wang Songshan’s words made Thomas’s face blush, but he knew Wang Songshan was speaking the truth. He didn’t consider Wang Songshan’s feelings when he was overbearing in the past.

Now, Wang Songshan had become the overbearing one and he had become the victim. Thomas somewhat grieved tearlessly. He wouldn’t have done those actions back then if he had known it would come to this.

However, even so, Thomas felt that Wang Songshan had gone too far. After all, his condition was to have Wang Songshan’s daughter marry Goode, which didn’t risk any lives. But Wang Songshan’s request was too ruthless as he wanted to take Goode’s life! How could Thomas, Goode’s grandfather, agree to this?

“I have given you a chance. You can decide whether to take it or not. ” Wang Songshan ignored Thomas’s feelings at this moment. He thought, How does it concern me if you’re annoyed or not? You left no chance for yourself since the time you were forcing me before. Do you think I can show you mercy now? No one’s a fool.

“Wang Songshan, I just wanted your daughter to marry my grandson. How is it fair for you to ask for my grandson’s head?” Thomas knew he was disadvantaged, but he still argued strongly on moral grounds.

“Goode was very arrogant when he was at my place. If I don’t get rid of him and this spreads out, people will think that our Butterfly Family is afraid of someone! ” Wang Songshan ignored Thomas’s questioning and sneered, “After all, this matter is caused by your grandson Goode, what does that have to do with my daughter? Since he asked for trouble, he must be prepared to pay the corresponding price. Otherwise, wouldn’t this world be in complete chaos if no one is held responsible for their actions?”

Held responsible? Thomas was displeased. The Butterfly Family has killed countless people, why haven’t you stepped forward to assume responsibility? Thomas dared not say it under the force of the current circumstances. After all, beggars can’t be choosers. “Wang Songshan, the Lancer Family will give you a satisfactory explanation. As to the Douglas Family, I’ll make them pay the deserved price. But anyhow, Goode is my biological grandson and I won’t allow him to be hurt! ”

Thomas was categorical with his words. On one hand, he was showing his weaknesses to Wang Songshan. On the other hand, he was hinting Wang Songshan. You shouldn’t be too greedy as we will pay the price. But as for your idea on Goode, sorry, you should stop trying.

“In that case, I don’t think we have anything to talk about. ” Wang Songshan shut Thomas off with one sentence and didn’t care about his words, “The Butterfly Family doesn’t need any compensation nor explanation. To be honest, the only explanation possible is Goode’s head. ”

“Okay… Okay! ” Thomas was extremely angry. Wang Songshan was showing him no respect and this made him infuriated. He had been in Europe’s upper class for so many years and this was the first person that didn’t show him respect. Not only did Wang Songshan show no respect, but he was also pressing on at every stage, “Wang Songshan, do you mean that you’ll fight the Lancer Family till the last breath? Let me tell you, even though the Lancer Family has lost support from the Buffon Family, we’re also not pushovers thanks to decades of accumulation of wealth. Even if our family falls, we’ll make you bear the consequences! So what if you’re an assassin family? Others may be afraid of you, but the Lancer Family and I are not! You have assassins, don’t we… Hmph, if you don’t believe it, let’s wait and see! ”

Thomas’s words were a total warning to Wang Songshan! Wang Songshan was delighted when he saw that Yang Ming had not only easily solved the family’s biggest trouble – the firearms supplies – but he also made the Buffon Family deal with the Lancer Family along the way. He was even more thrilled when Thomas was so humble before him. This had gotten him carried away. But right now, Thomas’s words had reminded Wang Songshan!

Anyhow, the Lancer Family was a huge family which had stood at the top of the upper class for many years. Even if their firearm dealership was cut off at this moment, the wealth they had accumulated over the years was beyond imagination!

If the Lancer Family were to say that they didn’t have private security forces, no one would believe it! Thomas’s previous sentence “You have assassins, don’t we…” especially hinted that the Lancer Family had hidden cards and would accompany the Butterfly Family if they wanted to fight till the last breath. No one would feel good with mutual destruction!

Although the possibility of both being defeated wasn’t great, it would be harming others without benefiting themselves as both families had a similar power. If they made a move under the circumstance where no family had an absolute advantage, it was unknown who would emerge victorious. Even if one of them won, it would only be a bitter victory. Only a fool would make such self-harming moves!

But Thomas had threatened Wang Songshan in such a way! Wang Songshan didn’t think Thomas would do it though, as even he hadn’t thought of mutual destruction with the Lancer Family back when he was forced to a dead-end.

However, it was hard to tell with a lunatic like Thomas. Wang Songshan couldn’t read Thomas’ thoughts after all. He didn’t have superpowers. He wouldn’t make a move unless he was absolutely certain about Thomas.

Therefore, Thomas’s words made Wang Songshan hesitate! He didn’t dare to bet, nor could he bet! It was a moment of glory and pride now that the Butterfly Family had just befriended the mighty Buffon Family. It wouldn’t be a worthy loss if this Thomas-related matter sapped the Butterfly Family’s strength.

Wang Songshan believed that the Butterfly Family had put themselves under the patronage of the higher-ups when they befriended the Buffon Family. But in fact, Yang Ming would definitely feel extremely amused if he knew Wang Songshan’s thoughts. Old Buffon had viewed the opportunity of partnering with the Butterfly Family as a way to brown-nose his master Yang Ming!

The call was on speaker. Yang Ming could hear every sentence that Thomas said clearly and he noticed Wang Songshan’s hesitation. He smiled faintly and said, “Thomas, right? There’s only one chance. I hope you can seize it. It’s okay if you don’t want to make the move on Goode yourself. I’ll help you to take away his head at that time. But I’ll forewarn you, it wouldn’t be the Lancer Family’s credit if I were to make the move. You’ll still be disqualified from the firearms dealership of the Buffon Family. ”

Wang Songshan glanced at Yang Ming astounded! Thomas obviously had the thought of mutual destruction, but Yang Ming didn’t care and still threatened him mercilessly… So what does this mean? Does Yang Ming already have the confidence of absolute victory? Wang Songshan couldn’t help feeling perturbed as he thought of this. However, thinking of Yang Ming’s remarkable ability that successfully convinced the great Buffon Family, he was pretty sure that it wouldn’t be a problem to wipe out the Lancer Family.

Wang Songshan was full of inexplicable confidence in Yang Ming as he thought of this.

“Who are you?” Thomas heard Yang Ming’s voice suddenly. He was dazed for a moment and soon yelled annoyedly.

“Yang Ming, the fiance of Butterfly Wang. ” Yang Ming replied lightly.

” Hmph,

aren’t you afraid of a sprained tongue from talking such big words? ” Thomas got angry once he heard it was Yang Ming who spoke, “Wang Songshan, isn’t your son-in-law well-raised? Interrupting while the elders are speaking?”

Yang Ming continued before Wang Songshan could speak, “In my eyes, you’re just a worthless elder. Uncle Wang, don’t respond to this mad dog. Hang up; we don’t have time to talk nonsense with him.”

“Fine. ” Wang Songshan smiled at Yang Ming and then said to Thomas, “Thomas, I’ve said my request. Think about it whether you can do it or not. Okay, goodbye! ”

“You- You- Geez- ” Wang Songshan hung up the phone before Thomas could finish and left the exasperated Thomas behind. Thomas sat back in the chair somewhat despondently.

Chapter 1534: How to Choose

It was simply a threat to make Wang Songshan change his mind when he said he wanted mutual destruction with the Butterfly Family! Moreover, it had worked as Wang Songshan had started to hesitate after hearing his words! But before the hesitating Wang Songshan could speak, he was interrupted by the man named Yang Ming!

This is irritating to death! This little bastard didn’t speak until the most critical moment and immediately ruined my whole plan!

Actually, Thomas didn’t dare to lose the entire Lancer Family just for Goode! Though Goode was his biological grandson, he was only the son of his daughter. He wasn’t the son of his son and had a foreign last name. He was a part of the Douglas Family instead of the Lancer Family!

Even if Thomas wanted to stand up for Goode, he believed the elders of the Lancer Family wouldn’t agree. After all, this didn’t concern just Thomas’s interests, but the interests of the entire family!

The entire Lancer Family would receive no benefits from opposing the Butterfly Family! Both families had comparable power. Of course, his family had hidden cards that could be compared to the Butterfly Family’s assassins, but who could assure that the Butterfly family had no other hidden cards?

If the Butterfly Family had hidden cards as well, it meant that their power was greater than the Lancer Family. Thus, he was even more terrified to act thoughtlessly. If a battle were to happen, the Lancer Family would perhaps be the unfortunates!

As a matter of fact, those who reached the position of the Butterfly and Lancer families would generally avoid fighting with their opponents unless they had an absolute advantage. They would want to avoid the scenario of mutual destruction. This was because not only would it not promote any of the family’s interests, it would cost the entire family instead. No one would make such a foolish decision.

Thomas was betting that Wang Songshan would be afraid of this, but his plan was ruined eventually. How could this not make Thomas depressed? But now Wang Songshan is very determined, so how should I react?

Give Goode up? Thomas definitely didn’t want to do this because Goode was his favorite grandson! Not only could he not avenge Goode, but it would cost Goode’s life as well. How could he take it as a grandfather?

However, the Lancer Family would definitely decline if they didn’t give up Goode. Even if they found and engaged in a new industry, it would take a long time to adapt, let alone mastering it! In that case, the Lancer Family would inevitably decline to a second-class or even third-class family.

But anyway, this was a serious matter. Although Thomas was the family master of the Lancer Family, such a serious matter must still be discussed with the family members.

Thomas sat glumly in the front seat of the Lancer Family’s conference room. There were a few other key personnel of the family present, including two elders in the same generation as him, as well as a few outstanding members from the second generation.

The news about the Buffon Family canceling the Lancer Family’s firearms dealership qualifications had been spread by the servant who answered the phone. Regardless if it was true or not, everyone present was aware of it.

It was obvious that the Lancer Family’s management was not very strict and the servant’s confidentiality was poor as well. Therefore, the content of the call was quickly known to these members of the family.

“I summoned everyone to an urgent meeting to discuss an important matter.” Thomas had a sour face. Overall, this matter would affect the Lancer Family’s fate. The family’s internal affairs would be fine if he gave Goode up. It was if he defended Goode that the few elders from his generation would question him, even if the second generation family members said nothing… His family master position would probably be at risk at that time.

Is the matter we heard about earlier true? They all looked dignified; they didn’t really believe it when they heard about it earlier. However, Thomas had now solemnly summoned them for a meeting. They started to feel uneasy, especially when they saw Thomas’s facial expression.

Thomas knew that it was no secret after seeing the expressions of everyone present. It seems like the news has already spread. “I believe everyone is aware of the news. The Buffon Family has canceled our firearms dealership qualification! ”

“It’s because of the Butterfly Family, right? ” An old man with triangular eyes who sat to the right of Thomas said eccentrically. He was Thomas’ brother, Slade, and was the eldest son of Thomas’s father. However, he wasn’t born to the legal wife but a concubine! His mother wasn’t the woman who Thomas’s father had married legally, but a personal maid of the family. This status was naturally unpresentable and Slade was destined not to inherit the important role of the family.

However, Slade had always been displeased about his brother who was born to the legal wife. They were both sons of the same father. Even though his mother wasn’t legally married to his father, he was still the eldest son. Why could Thomas inherit the family master’s position?

Slade didn’t dare to be too obvious when Thomas’ father was alive, he would just secretly stab Thomas in the back. But Slade started to deliberately disagree with Thomas openly after his father’s death.

Of course, Slade didn’t miss out on this good opportunity to deliberately disagree with Thomas! Anyway, Slade had no chance to compete for the family master’s position, but he wanted to make Thomas abdicate the position by attacking him over and over again! He wanted to pass the position to his son, Kevithan!

His son, Kevithan, was the most outstanding individual out of the second generation. He was initially the most promising candidate for the family master’s position! Slade was very optimistic about his son too.

Initially, it was already finalized that Kevithan would be the next heir of the family master’s position as Thomas’s son was simply useless. He was obviously a playboy and dandy who hung around with those celebrities. He was proficient in leading a hedonistic life and showed no interest in the family affairs. It was totally impossible for him to be a candidate for the family master’s position.

Thomas was also very disappointed with this son. Slade, however, was very happy about it. He thought, Although I can’t be the family master, it is very possible for my son to become the next family master. Slade felt gratified every time he thought about it.

However, this situation only lasted until the emergence of Thomas’s grandson, Wich. He’d become the leader of the family’s third generation and had faintly surpassed Kevithan’s publicity back then!

This caused Slade to suddenly feel a sense of crisis! There was no other reason than Thomas’s ability to live for so long! Moreover, his son had become old!

He was about ten years older than Thomas and Kevithan was his first son who was born to him during his twenties. In other words, Thomas was only six or so years older than Kevithan!

He initially thought to have Kevithan take over after Thomas’s death, but now it seemed that Thomas was still healthy and it was uncertain who would pass away first. Kevithan would probably be disappointed if he followed through with this plan.

Therefore, Slade had only one way to successfully promote Kevithan, which was to attack Thomas unendingly and force him to abdicate under the circumstances. Otherwise, once Kevithan was physically unfit, Thomas would definitely pass the family master’s position to Wich.

There would be no way to save the situation if this were the case. Therefore, Slade keenly seized this opportunity. Although there were chances to attack Thomas before, they couldn’t weaken Thomas’ foundation…
