Making 223
In the living room of the Fields‘ Manor.
“What did you just say? Gilmore was taken away by Karl and Bermy?” Hearing Julian’s words about
Gilmore’s mishap, Graham, with a shocked look on his face, quickly rose from the sofa.
Julian nodded, “The message I received from Tim, whom I had sent to protect Mr. Reed, is quite
reliable. There shouldn’t be any mistake.”
Julian, we need to head to the Wyatt Bar immediately and bring Gilmore back!” said Helene, who
was seated on the sofa, disying her concern.
Ever since Gilmore left, she had been constantly worried about him.
Now, her fears were confirmed with this news of him being in trouble.
Julian replied, “Alright, I’ll gather all the martialists from Star Gate, and we’llunch a rescue at the
Wyatt Bar.”
Not only was Gilmore in danger, but the three Star Gate martialists who were sent to protect him
were at risk too.
Julian couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Howeyer, Graham interjected, “I fear even if we rush to the Wyatt Bar, we won’t find them there.
The Wyatt family would have definitely moved them elsewhere, not waiting around for us toe to
the rescue.”
Helene hurriedly asked her father, “Dad, then what should we do?”
After pondering for a moment, Graham replied, “First, we head to the Wyatt Bar.
“Regardless of whether they’re there or not, we need to make our presence felt.
“On the way, I’ll give that old fox, James, a call and make sure he knows that his sneaky tactics will
lead to an all–out war between Star Gate and de Gate.
“A confrontation they, the Wyatt family, won’t be able to handle!
Julian agreed, “Exactly. If Karl Wyatt has harmed our Star Gate members, it would mean they’ve
dered war against us.
“Star Gate won’t sit idly by; we’ll fight de Gate to the bitter end.”
“Julian, let’s head out now,” Graham said with a serious expression.
Julian nodded in agreement.
Shortly after, the trio left the vi.
Before long, Graham, Helene, and Julian, along with all the martialists from Star Gate, boarded a
fleet of around ten vehicles and set off for Wyatt Bar.
On the way to the Wyatt Bar, Graham made a call to James from the car.
“Graham, calling me at this hour? Must be something important, huh?” James‘ voice, tinged with a
hint of arrogance, came through the phone.
Graham responded, “James, I won’t beat around the bush. I believe you already know why I’m
calling.

“Gilmore and three martialists from Star Gate went to Wyatt Bartonight upon the invitation of your
son, Benny. The martialists who apanied Gilmore sent us a message saying your son took him
away.
“I hope you’ll release both Gilmore and our martialists.
“You must realize that if you don’t, it will ignite a fierce battle between Star Gate and de Gate.
“This won’t benefit either of us.”
James retorted, “Graham, what are you talking about? Who said my son took Gilmore and the Star
Gate martialists? My son is fond of your daughter. How could he possibly go drinking with her
boyfriend? It’s inconceivable!”
James denied it.
A sh of anger crossed Graham’s eyes.
He had expected James to deny everything.
This call was just a way for Graham to ensure that James understood the grave consequences of
his actions.
If James wasn’t going to release the hostages, Star Gate would have to put direct pressure on the
Wyatt family.
Thus, Graham said on the phone, “James, you can deny capturing Gilmore and the three Star Gate
martialists.
“But, all you’re doing is courting the wrath of Star Gate. If that’s the path you choose… brace
yourself.”
With that, Graham was about to hang up the phone.
However, James‘ derisiveughter echoed through the line. “Graham, who are you trying to scare?
You say my son kidnapped Gilmore and the Star Gate martialists. Do you have any proof?
“Didn’t you say they were at the Wyatt Bar? Go check there, and if you find any evidence,e
settle the score with me. I’ll be waiting.”
After that, James abruptly ended the call.
Graham looked furious as he disconnected the call.
“Dad, what do we do now?” Helene, who had overheard the conversation, asked anxiously.
“We’ll head to Wyatt Bar first,” Graham decided. “If we don’t find them there, Julian will have to
inform Star Gate.”
Julian, sitting in the front passenger seat, responded firmly, “If the Wyatt family doesn’t release
them, I’ll report this to the leader.
“When the leader hears about this, he won’t let the Wyatt family off easily,” Julian dered with a
sense of determination. “Anyone who dares to harm Star Gate will not escape our wrath, even if the
Wyatt family has the backing of de Gate!”
Graham and his entourage headed towards the Wyatt Bar.
At the Wyatt Mansion, in the grand living room.
After hanging up the phone, a smirk spread across James‘ face. “Oh, Graham, howughable!” he
sneered.
“Thinking he can intimidate me with Star Gate without any evidence.
“Does he see the Wyatt family as low–hanging fruit, easy to pluck?”
“Dad, rest easy,” Benny said smugly from the sofa. “The cameras at the Wyatt Bar are conveniently
‘broken‘ tonight. So no

matter how hard Graham and his group try, they won’t find a trace of Gilmore or the three Star Gate
martialists having been
there.”

Benny, who was sitting on the sofa, said to his father with a proud face.
James gazed at his son andmended, “Benny, you’ve done exceptionally well this time!
“Who would’ve thought that Gilmore would actuallye to drink with you? He must be the dullest
tool in the shed.
“But this fool can be the perfect pawn to tackle the Field family!
Benny thoughtfully suggested, “Dad, for our next move, should we have Gilmore call Helene?
“We could deceive her intoing here, then snatch her up to coerce Graham into withdrawing
from the CBD bid?”
James, ever the strategist, advised, “Benny, patience. The bidding conference is still more than ten
days away. Let’s let Graham stew in his own juices for a bit before we proceed to our next n.”
“Yes, Dad,” Benny obediently replied.
James nced at the entrance and spoke, “Karl went to our suburban mountain vi by helicopter
again, saying that Gilmore was rescued by someone in a masked ck outfit. What’s the status
now?”
A smile flickered across Benny’s face. “I already called the butler at the mountain vi. Karl and his
folks from de Gate have encircled Gilmore and that masked person on a mountain peak.
The helicopter had to return to the vi because it couldn’tnd in the difficult terrain.
“By now, they’ve probably captured both Gilmore and the masked figure, taking them back to the
vi.
“Karl should be returning shortly in the chopper.”
As Benny’s words faded, the humming of helicopter des resonated from outside.
A gleeful expression illuminated Benny’s face as he eximed, Ah! Who would’ve thought I’d hit the
nail on the head? Karl has truly returned.”
James, his face lit up with a smile, responded, “Benny, let’s go wee your brother.”
With that, James and Benny headed towards the vi entrance to greet the arriving helicopter.
