Chapter 41 An Order


    Suddenly, two people entered through the front gates of the Reynold’s vi. One was about twenty-four


    or twenty-five years of age and whose face looked quite pale. The other was about thirty years old,


    looked quite well-to-do and walked at a speedy pace.


    Cruz knew them both; one of them was Andrew Stone, son-inw of the rk family. The other was


    Ray Fraser’s distinguished guest, the Vice President of the Southwest Region, Phoenix Morgan.


    Phoenix was born from a distinguished family; anyone who’s anyone in K City knew that well. As the


    VP of the Southwest Region, he held an incredibly high, powerful position. Not even members of the


    Turner family would be able to invite someone of this stature.


    But now, Phoenix was right behind the rk family’s son-inw, with a scowl on his face; he looked


    more like a bodyguard! Everyone from the Reynold’s family stood and watched in awe. Did this Andrew


    Stone hold a position that’s even higher than that of Phoenix Morgan?!


    Suddenly, Cruz thought of a rumor that had been going around; someone big and important from K City


    was going to arrive soon. He thought the rumors were referring to Ray Fraser, but apparently not.


    It wasn’t Ray nor Phoenix, but this guy, this son-inw of the rk family!


    “What do you want?” Freddy stood up and shoved his daughter Isabel behind him. He was just talking


    about how he had to look into Andrew bullying his daughter; and now, speak of the devil, here was


    Andrew.


    What else could their sudden appearance mean? If not to conduct an investigation?


    Andrew said nothing, but continued to walk forward.


    “Someone,e quick!” Freddy shouted out in panic.


    But no one answered throughout the house.


    “Did you really think I would havee without any prior preparations?” Andrew said as he let out a


    cold smirk.


    Freddy seemed to realized something; it was quite off that no guards came to his beckoning.


    “Did, did you kill them all?” Freddy looked and asked in horror.


    These words caused a panic to spread across the vi; even Cruz, who had seen his share of rough


    times, was left speechless!


    “Don’t worry, Cruz Reynolds, I didn’t kill a single person in your family.” Andrew said in a steady tone.


    Cruz swallowed hard and took a quick nce at Phoenix, who looked like a bodyguard and said


    nothing since he arrived. Then he returned his gaze to Andrew.


    Phoenix was easily capable of calling in troops to wreak havoc and destroy the Reynold’s family at any


    time. Just who was this Andrew Stone? What kind of person was capable of ordering Phoenix around


    like his personal guard!?


    “If you’re not here to kill my family, what do you want?” Freddy asked in an anxious manner, “Are you


    here to take my daughter?”


    As he spoke, he gripped Isabel’s hand tightly!


    He truly demonstrated his fatherly love at this moment!


    “Freddy, what are you doing?” Cruz realized that things were not as simple as they looked.


    “Father, he’s the one who bullied Isabel, and now here he is; he’s definitely up to no good!” Freddy was


    incredibly worried that Isabel would get hurt again.


    “Shut up!” Freddy scolded in anger.


    He then turned to Phoenix and Andrew and said, “Mr. Morgan, Mr. Stone, it’s my fault; please have


    mercy. Let me apologize on behalf of my granddaughter’s misdoings.”


    The corner of Andrew’s mouth slightly twitched; he said in an expressionless manner, “She’s just a


    child. If I really wanted to kill her, she’d have never been able to set foot back in your home!”


    Andrew spoke these words in a calm manner, but it was as though thunder had struck the heads of the


    Reynolds family.


    After he was done speaking, Andrew was already in the main hall of the vi, and he stared at Cruz.


    Isabel was terrified by Andrew’s powerful presence that she waspletely mute; her entire body


    quivered in fear as she held onto Freddy’s hand.


    It was as though Andrew underwent a transformation; he no longer looked or acted like the Andrew she


    recalled. He used to be a good-for-nothing bum, who didn’t even dare speak loudly. But who knew he


    was so powerful. Every word he said terrified the Reynolds!


    Now, she was deeply regretting having ever bullied Emily. If there was a way to go back to the past,


    she’d definitely stopped her past self from bullying Emily!


    “Cruz, is this how you treat your guests?” Phoenix finally spoke.


    “Please, sit! No, wait, please take a seat here!” Cruz immediately stood up and offered his seat.


    Andrew waved and said, “No need; I’m just here to say a few words then leave.”


    Andrew bluntly said, “I want you to sever all ties with the Turner family, including business, socially, and


    all.”


    Cruz froze up; before he could say anything, other members of the family spoke out, “We can’t do that,


    we depend on the Turners. Don’t you know how many businesses they own in K City?”


    “Not going into the businesses they forthrightly own, they bought out all of the rk family’s businesses


    as well. Sure, the rks aren’t part of the family, but everyone knows they did it.”


    “That’s right; they own at least 50% of the businesses in K City. If you won’t have us work with them,


    how can we possibly survive by ourselves?”


    Andrew chuckled menacingly, “I’m not here to negotiate; this is an order!”


    “If you won’tply, I’ll send your family right away; I’ll make sure of it.”


    After he finished speaking, Andrew turned to leave, and the rest of the Reynolds family began to look at


    one another.


    “Dad, what are we going to do?” Freddy asked first.


    “If we do cut ties to the Turners, Asher Turner will definitelye after us.”


    “But if we don’t cut ties to them, Andrew and Phoenix wille end us as well.”


    “End us? Just who does he think he is? Are we that easy to end, just because he said so?”


    Thoughts raced through Cruz’s mind; he was silent for a while, then he said, “Freddy, give the order to


    cut all ties with the Turners.”


    “Father, are we really going to give in like this? If we team up with the Turners, surely we can take on


    Andrew?”


    “Besides, if we cut ties to them, they’ll definitelye after us!”


    Cruz raised his hand and sternly said, “Who has more authority, the Turners, or that of the Regions?”


    The Reynolds family members exchanged nces; the answer was tantly obvious.


    “Don’t you get it? This son-inw of the rks family is here on behalf of the rks family. The Turners

    took everything from the rks, forcing his adoptive father tomit suicide. Now, he’s back for


    revenge.”
