Chapter 648


    There was instant silence on the other end, followed by a wave of pressure like an earthquake!


    This was no trivial matter. It threatened the future of the Quaid family legacy!


    Furthermore, Marcus was the family’s brightest hope for the next generation.


    “Find out who did it, and kill them!”


    The voice on the other end roared with the aura of a king, followed by, “And send Marcus back here at


    once!”


    “Yes, sir!”


    Len responded and ended the call, wiping the cold sweat from his brow.


    Since the master had given him an order, he just had to carry it out.


    Capital City was a busy international metropolitan where cash and alcohol flowed freely.


    Right now, a few rays of moonlight were shining through the windows into a dark room in a vi. Inside,


    a young man in a wheelchair was looking out of the window expressionlessly. His gaze was dark, but


    no one could read what he was thinking.


    Just then, his phone rang.


    The handsome young man nced at the caller ID and frowned slightly. After a moment’s thought, he


    epted the call.


    “Master Lawrence, there’s a call from home. Something happened to Master Marcus, and the Old


    Master is in a right temper. Do you want toe back for a visit?”


    The man’s expression finally shifted slightly at that report, but his voice remained calm as he asked,


    “By Master Marcus, you mean my younger brother?”


    The man was Lawrence Quaid, the first son of the Capital City Quaid family. He had the same


    gentlemanly vibe his name suggested, and he never caused any trouble or picked any fights, just doing


    what he had to do. He was the number one candidate for the next head of the family, and his chances


    of seeding the position were almost a hundred percent!


    However, something happened many years ago that dethroned Lawrence from his position in the


    family.


    That incident had turned Capital City upside-down!


    Everyone in the upper circles said that Lawrence had offended someone he should not have, costing


    the Quaids the right to nt their next generations into the central government!


    At the same time, Lawrence lost his status as the next-in-line.


    He had been reduced to a useless piece of trash.

    “Yes, Master Lawrence. Apparently, Master Marcus was maimed and left impotent… The Master has


    sent Sir Len to make the necessary preparations.”


    The voice on the other end was trembling as it briefly described all that had happened.


    “He was maimed?”


    Lawrence was stony-faced. Even after receiving such a piece of news, his expression remained


    unchanged and emotionless.


    What nobody else could see was that he was positively ted right now!


    This was his chance!


    Marcus Quaid had been cut out of the picture!


    As soon as he hung up, Lawrence was certain of one thing!


    The Quaid family was not going to sleep tonight!


    More importantly, the opportunity he had been waiting for after so long was finally here!


    It was his era to shine once again!


    Eight years ago, he was forced out of his privileged position at the center of the family and relegated to


    nothing. Starting from now, however, he was going to transform into a hunting hound, baring his fangs


    and taking back all that he had lost!


    Lawrence Quaid was as gentlemanly as his name suggested. No one knew the real him, or rather,


    everyone thought they knew him.


    Lawrence mused the situation over, his expression finally began to change. The corner of his lips


    slowly began to crease, and his loudughter rang out through the vi!


    There was a p of thunder outside as lightning shed, and a torrential rain descended upon Capital


    City!


    …


    “Master, the results of the investigation are in.”


    A butler was standing behind a middle-aged man, respectfully offering his report.


    This was a mansion in Capital City worth a cool billion dors!


    Its upants were none other than the great Joo family!


    They were one of the most powerful military families in Capital City!


    “So who was it?”


    The middle-aged man asked, looking at the Picasso on the wall. He never took his eyes off the


    painting, seeming quite pleased with it.


    “His name is Philip rke.”


    The middle-aged man standing in front of the middle-aged butler had sharp features and a very proper


    countenance. He had a square jaw and a small goatee, emanating the aura of an authoritative leader!


    “rke, you say? Is he from the rke Group?”


    The middle-aged man turned around and asked the butler.
