Chapter 178 South River Strategic Department Chief Commander

The three families were local tyrants so they were not afraid of Ray,

an outsider.

Therefore, they decided to go to war with him.

They had been eyeing Ray’s wealth for some time now.

Edward said, “Ray had been secretly supporting the Quints, and now he used Kaze’s name to thrash the Socialite Club. We shall move against the Quints, especially Darcy and Kaze. I want them to suffer the consequences of hurting Eliot.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

He made the two of them a priority because of what happened to his grandson.

The other two family heads nodded.

Belarus said, “The Quints’ Passion Fragrance District project is about to presale soon and Darcy has been running around to get loans long as we intercept the loan, we can destroy them.”

The fate of the Quints was sealed by a few words from the three family heads.

Then, Edward sighed and said, “Now, the Everias are in trouble. After what happened at Nation Hotel, our family has gotten on the bad side with the military. Flint, you have men inside the military, do you have any solution?”

He looked at Flint with a hint of hope.

“I received some news recently and I believe it will do us good so it’s a fantastic opportunity.”

Flint smiled and continued, “The South River

ceremony will be held at Lilyrose. I can pull some strings and we can attend the ceremony. If we can get close to him, then we will have strong support from the military.”

The news delighted the other two.

The top three families were well-connected in the business and political world. Once they secure support from the military, they could further strengthen their status.

“The chief commander of the South River Strategic Department? Why is he having the inauguration ceremony here?”

They found the event confusing.

Flint pointed up and said, “Don’t forget that Lilyrose is the headquarters of the Lilyrose Strategic Department, where its chief commander currently lives.”

The South River Strategic Department was a state-level strategic department, while the Lilyrose Strategic Department was the main strategic department that commanded several state strategic departments.

Since the current chief commander resided in Lilyrose, it was norm for the new chief commander of the state strategic department to pay a visit out of respect.

Besides, Chief Commander Lang came from the God of War Palace, which made him possess higher rank than other chief commanders.

“Alright then. We must attend the inauguration ceremony by any means. We might not get to Chief Commander Lang but I believe we can at least get to the new state chief commander!”

The news of them wanting to attend the ceremony spread like wildfire and made headlines.

On the other side, Kaze brought Darcy back to the construction site.

Darcy breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Sky was safe and sound.

Agnes asked Darcy if Eliot had taken care of the Vikroms and released Sky, but Darcy simply brushed her off with vague excuses.

She did not want her mother to know about the incident at Nation

Hotel because she did not want her to worry.

Besides, she had decided to take this secret to her grave, or else she would risk being targeted by the Everias.

That night, the evening news reported the incident at Nation Hotel.

The hotel was forced to undergo reformation since criminal activities were held on their premise by wanted fugitives. The company that owned the hotel, Nation Food and Beverage, was being investigated

as well.

Nation Food and Beverage belonged to the Everias. The investigation put them in a difficult spot.

Darcy felt relieved, but Kaze knew the Everias would not just let it go this easily.

However, he was not concerned about it because the fate of the top three families was sealed a long time ago.

The reason why he did not move against them was because he wanted to wipe them all out once and for all and uproot all their connections together.

From his early life, he had gleaned a crucial lesson: “Cutting the grass without uprooting it allows the spring breeze to revive it!”
