Making 212
As soon as Benny entered the villa, he saw more than 20 men standing in the main hall, donned in black martial arts uniforms with the word “Blade” printed on their chests.
All of these men were in their 20s or early 30s. They were well–built, with robust muscles and sharp eyes that radiated an aura of power.
Benny’s heart lifted when he saw them. The Blade Gate martialists are here!” he thought,
His gaze then swiftly moved to the couch in the living room.
On it, besides his father, James, sat a young
man and woman.
The man appeared to be in his mid–20s, strikingly handsome with a commanding presence.
The woman, around 20 years old, bore a striking resemblance to a famous star.
With her long, flowing hair, a porcelain, oval–shaped face, elongated willow brows, and bright, captivating eyes, she was incredibly alluring.
Dressed in a white gown, she sat gracefully with a beauty and elegance that was unparalleled.
She was an extremely beautiful goddess.
Elated, Benny approached the couch and greeted the young man, “Karl, you’re back!”
Indeed, the young man on the couch was Benny’s elder brother, the eldest heir of the Wyatt family, Karl..
Karl looked at Benny and asked, “I heard from Dad that you visited the Field family?”
Benny nodded, “Yes, Karl”
Benny then courteously greeted the beautiful woman on the couch, “Miss Gellar, hello!”
The woman n in the white dress, with
the same courteousness, gave a slight nod. “Greetings, Mr. Wyatt.”
This breathtakingly beautiful woman was none other than Juline the heiress of the renowned Blade Gate from Oakhaven.
Benny sat down on the sofa.
At this time, James turned to Bob, instructing him, “Bob, please see to the martialists from Blade Gate. Have them rest for
now?”
Bob nodded, replying, “Yes, Mr. Wyatt.”
He then addressed the more than 20 martialists from Blade Gate in the hall, “Gentlemen from Blade Gate, please follow
1. me.
The Blade Gate martialists promptly followed Bob out of the living room.
Upon reaching outside the villa, Bob handed over the Blade Gate martialists to two servants from the Wyatt family, who then led them to other villas to rest.
After ensuring they were taken care of, Bob made his way back inside the villa.
James looked at Benny and inquired, “Did you meet with Graham this morning? What did he say?”
Benny responded. “Dad just as you suspected, Graham hasn’t withdrawn his bid.
Π
“Moreover, he mentioned that the city council explicitly instructed him not to, but to participate in the bidding fairly.”
With a cold chuckle, James mused, “So he’s letting me know not to try any underhanded tricks to keep him from bidding.
“It seems that he’s determined to compete with us for the projec
James then turned his gaze to Bob and asked, “Have you found out who’s backing Graham, making him bold enough to go against our Wyatt family?*
Bob answered with a serious demeanor, “When the young master and I visited the Field family’s mansion, besides their usual martialists, there were martialists from Star Gate.
“As expected. Graham has sought support from Star Gate.”
“Star Gate!” James‘ brows furrowed, a hint of surprise evident in his eyes.
Karl, also taken aback, commented, “To my knowledge, Star Gate and the Field family have never had any deep ties.
“Star Gate shouldn’t be assisting the Fields.
“Could it be that Star Gate also has its eyes on the new CBD project and is thus secretly supporting the Field family
A complex look appeared in Jarnes‘ eyes as he said, “If that’s the case, things just got a lot more complicated.”
Karl nodded in agreement. “Star Gate is on par with our Blade Gate in terms of reputation and strength. If they’re involved. our plans against the Field family will become much more challenging
James then questioned Bob, “How many Star Gate martialists did you estimate were at the Fields‘ manor!”
“Mr. Wyatt, there were around 30 to 40 of them, Bob replied.
Surprise appeared on both James‘ and Karl’s faces.
Karl commented to his father, “Star Gate rarely deploys so many martialists to protect a single influential family. “Even with my return, I only brought 20 martialists from Blade Gate.
“For Star Gate to deploy such a significant number at once, it’s hard to believe they aren’t after the new CBD project James said cautiously, “If that’s the case, we might need to put our plans against the Field family on I
hold.”
Karl added with concern, “You’re right, Dad. Going up against the Fields would mean a direct confrontation between Blade Gate and Star Gate. The consequences of such a battle would be severe. Blade Gate wouldn’t make such a move unless absolutely necessary.”
At that moment, Benny, looking confident, said, “Karl, I have a plan that could avoid a showdown between Blade Gate and Star Gate and yet make the Field family bend to our will.”
James and Benny immediately looked at Benny. Even Juline who had remained silent, turned toward him.
Needless to say, they were skeptical about his claim.
James, with a raised brow, questioned, “What’s your plan that would prevent a clash between the two sects and yet make the Fields listen to us?”
Benny, with a sly grin, revealed, “This morning, when I went to the Fields manor, I found out that Helene has a boyfriend.”
“That’s it?” James chuckled. “It sounds more like it’ll complicate your own wish to marry Helene!”
9%82%
“No, Dad, we could have the young man under our control, and through him, influence Helene, Benny said with a cunning gleam in his eyes.
He then shared how he exchanged numbers with Gilmore and had even arranged to go for drinks together.
James, ever the skeptic, said, “Benny, there’s something fishy about this. Do you really think Gilmore doesn’t know your ulterior motive for inviting him out for a drink?”
Karl mused. “Perhaps Gilmore is just too arrogant, thinking that with martialists from Star Gate by his side, we wouldn’t dare lay a finger on him.”
“Karl, what if he really does have martialists from Star Gate with him? Can we still take action?” Benny inquired.
A cold smile played on Karl’s lips. “Star Gate’s primary concern is to protect the Field family. If Gilmore genuinely agreed to meet you for drinks at a bar, Star Gate wouldn’t possibly send a multitude of martialists to protect him. So even if he’s accompanied by one or two of their martialists, we can still snatch him.”
A spark of excitement lit up in Benny’s eyes. “Then I’ll invite him to the bar tonight.”
“Hold on, Benny,” Karl cautioned, his face the very picture of calm determination. “We need to plan this out thoroughly.”
The three Wyatts began discussing their strategy in the living room, plotting not only against Gilmore but also how to use him to further control Helene.
Juline, seated on the couch, remained conspicuously silent throughout. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
There was a clear disdain in her eyes for the sly and deceitful ways of the three Wyatt men.
Had it not been for her father’s insistence on sending her to the Wyatts‘ place, she wouldn’t have chosen to be here.
Everything the Wyatt family did repulsed her. She wanted nothing to do with them and yearned to be as far away as possible.
In her heart, she knew she was nothing like them.
She couldn’t fathom why her father placed so much trust in the Wyatts, particularly in the senior presbyter, Travis.
