Chapter 299 Pride and Prejudice


    “What? One billion dors for an invite? That’s daylight robbery.”


    Brus was furious when Flint ryed the price.


    Even though Albert was the chiefmander of the State Strategic Department, an invitation to attend


    his ceremony should not cost that


    much.


    Flint uttered, “I heard Albert trained under the God of War. He longed for an assignment from the God


    of War himself. I’m confident the


    God of War will be there.”


    “Seriously?”


    Edward had his doubts. “Even if the God of War is attending, one


    billion dors for an invite is ridiculous. Maybe it’s a special price to scam us out of our money.”


    “Even if it is, I’m paying up.”


    Brus interrupted him. “My family will be attending the ceremony. I don’t care if the money is for the


    God of War or Albert, I’m paying the one billion dors. The things they can offer me in return outweigh


    the cost.”


    That’s right. My family will be attending too.” Brus managed to


    convince Flint.


    Edward let out a wry smile. “We are in this together. If you guys are going, I can’t keep my family out of


    it.”


    Despite Edward’s kind words, the top three families did not have a solid friendship. They saw each


    other aspetition when amon enemy was out of the picture.

    Edward simply did not want to fall behind the other families.


    With that out of the way, Edward said, “Did you receive word from the Sunrise Lees? They are urging


    us to deal with Kaze.”


    “We did.”


    The other two nodded with a grimace.


    Jesse was their real enemy, so they did not have time for Kaze.


    However, they would not dare to turn a blind ear to the orders of the Sunrise Lees.


    “I heard that the Hansers have their eye on Quintessential Group. They intend to send Darcy to prison.”


    Brus said, “Why don’t we lend the Hansers a helping hand? The Lees didn’t say we have to kill


    Kaze. Kaze would have enough on his hands if we started with his wife. That should be enough to


    answer to the Lees.”


    “Yeah. I think that works.”


    Out of the three family heads, Edward resented Darcy the most. He was on board right away.


    He said curtly, “The city council is tight with Perfect World Group


    1. The police won’t work with us to pull Darcy down. Why don’t we get the state police in on it?”


    Even though the top three families’ influence was limited to the city, they had connections within the


    state.


    “That will work. So that’s decided.”


    Flint waved his arm nonchntly, not thinking much of the matter.


    They held Quintessential Group and Kaze in contempt.

    A brief conversation was all it took to decide their devastating fate.


    The next morning, Darcy went to work while Sky chauffeured Agnes. and Hector to the market in the


    MPV.


    Kaze was alone at home.


    Draco strolled over. He wore sunsses.


    “Good news, Boss. As you predicted, the top three families bought the invitations for 3 billion dors. I


    don’t get it. Albert is just having an inauguration ceremony. The ceremony shouldn’t cost that much,”


    Dracomented. He was speechless.


    When Kaze proposed the idea, Draco did not think it would happen.


    No one would be stupid enough to spend one billion dors on an invitation to a chiefmander


    taking office.


    Reality was a p in his face. Such people did exist.
