Making 212


    As soon as Benny entered the vi, he saw more than 20 men standing in the main hall, donned in


    ck martial arts uniforms with the word “de” 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 de Gate martialists are here!” he thought,


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    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 amanding presence.


    The woman, around 20 years old, bore a striking resemnce to a famous star.


    With her long, flowing hair, a porcin, 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.


    ted, 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 Ger, 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 de


    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 de


    Gate. Have them rest for


    now?”


    Bob nodded, replying, “Yes, Mr. Wyatt.”


    He then addressed the more than 20 martialists from de Gate in the hall, “Gentlemen from de


    Gate, please follow


    1. me.


    The de Gate martialists promptly followed Bob out of the living room.


    Upon reaching outside the vi, Bob handed over the de Gate martialists to two servants from


    the Wyatt family, who then led them to other vis to rest.


    After ensuring they were taken care of, Bob made his way back inside the vi.


    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 topete 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,mented, “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


    Aplex 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 de Gate in terms of reputation and


    strength. If they’re involved. our ns against the Field family will be 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.


    Karlmented 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 de 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 ns 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 de Gate and Star Gate. The consequences of such a battle would be


    severe. de Gate wouldn’t make such a move unless absolutely necessary.”


    At that moment, Benny, looking confident, said, “Karl, I have a n that could avoid a showdown


    between de 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 im.


    James, with a raised brow, questioned, “What’s your n that would prevent a sh 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’llplicate 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 darey 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 yed 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 apanied 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 n


    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.


    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‘ ce, 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 ced so much trust in the Wyatts, particrly in the senior


    presbyter, Travis.
