Chapter 1218


    Chapter 1218 Losing Flying Fish


    Everyone assumed the Cooks had a close rtionship with Mysterious yet Majestic, so people usually


    showed them some respect.


    As implied by its name, Mysterious yet Majestic was a discreet yet powerful organization. Ordinary


    individuals would not dare to provoke them.


    Hence, they held the Cook family in high regard due to their connections.


    Herald was infuriated by Hugo''s actions. He had always been overly polite when talking with Flying


    Fish, to the extent that he was embarrassingly obsequious. Fortunately, Flying Fish was not the type to


    act all high and mighty just because of his status.


    Herald had hoped that, as his rtionship with Flying Fish grew stronger, Flying Fish could introduce


    him to the big shots from Mysterious yet Majestic and perhaps arrange a meeting with them.


    By doing so, he could establish awork with Mysterious yet Majestic and gain ess to their


    contacts.


    Instead, Flying Fish became extremely upset and even given him a stern warning that their friendship


    would be over if Herald continued to spread the Trojan horse virus.


    Additionally, Flying Fish also told Herald not to mention to outsiders that they were good friends. The


    former also prohibited him from revealing that he knew someone from Mysterious yet Majestic.


    How is this any different from cutting off ties with me?


    Herald''s heart surged with overwhelming anger, wishing he could just smack Hugo to oblivion.


    How am I supposed to get by after cutting off ties with Mysterious yet Majestic?


    Several other prominent families watched him closely, like a tiger eyeing its prey. It was not an easy


    feat for him to secure a ministerial position at such a young age and being second to none.


    Will I be able to maintain my position without Flying Fish''s support from now on?


    He looked at Hugo with utter disappointment. “Dad passed away early, so I''ve always pampered and


    spoiled you. But look at you now! Is this how you repay me? Your mother always thinks I''m harming


    you, but take a look at what''s going on here! It''s you who has jeopardized the entire Cook family. If I


    can''t maintain my position, I''m afraid your tenure in the Department of Information won''tst much


    longer either.”


    His words shocked both Martha and Pauline to the core.


    “How did things get so serious?”


    “Herald, Hugo is still young, please forgive him just this time!” Martha and Pauline pleaded at the same


    time.


    “He''s still young? How many more times should I tolerate him and excuse his mistakes? The whole


    Cook family''s reputation hinges on our rtionship with Flying Fish; it''s the only reason people show us


    any respect. If Flying Fish and I sever ties, then... Don''t hold me responsible if the Cook family falls into


    decline. Put the me on him! He gave the Trojan horse virus to Sloan, who then nted it in the


    The two women of the Cook family were dumbstruck, and Pauline''s face was especially pale.


    She felt the pain as though Herald had pped her repeatedly.


    She looked at Hugo in disbelief, “Hugo, is everything your brother said true? If the new energy project


    with Section Six falls through... it won''t just be a p from your brother you''ll be facing, you''ll end up in


    jail!”


    Both Martha and Pauline stared at Hugo in utter disappointment.


    Hugo was the youngest son in the family and also the most favored one. Their eldest managed the


    family business, and he was nothing like the youngest who spent time at home and was pampered by


    everyone.


    Hence, Herald and Hugo were not close.


    Great! Just look at what the youngest son in the family has done now.


    Hugo clenched his fist so tightly that his nails nearly dug into his palm.


    He dared not say a word because he hadn''t expected Sloan to do such a thing.


    In the end, he had created problems for his own brother and even brought disaster upon the Cook


    family.


    He just wanted to make some money. He felt that it was useless for the Trojan horse virus to be kept on


    hisputer when he could actually exchange it for some cash.


    His thoughts were just that simple.

    No matter how doting Martha had always been towards him, she could not hold back her temper at that


    very moment. She picked up her walking stick and struck Hugo fiercely. “What on earth is wrong with


    you? Speak up! Why would you do such a thing? Have you lost your mind?”


    How did the entire Cook family maintain their powerful status up to that very day? Who were they


    dependent on? It was all because Herald knew Flying Fish.


    Before Hugo could finish his sentence, amotion was heard outside of the manor, apanied by


    the butler''s hurried footsteps and voice. “May I ask about the purpose of your visit, gentlemen? Please


    allow me to inform Mr. Cook.”
