Chapter 172


    Chapter 172


    Brayden was seventy years old this year. He had gone through a lot in Shandale.


    When his grandfather, Scales, had dominated Shandale, the Styles family had a high status in


    Shandale.


    Even though the Styles family had declined, no one dared to look down upon the Styles family.


    Now the other three were waiting for him to speak. Brayden nced at them and said indifferently, "The


    four families are not the match for the Boas, so we have only one choice now."


    "What''s that?"


    The leaders of the three families asked anxiously.


    Expressionless, Brayden said, "To be Mr. Shelby''s followers."


    What?


    They were all stunned.


    Caden Jameson asked in confusion, "didn''t we already meet Mr. Shelby? What else do we need to


    do?"


    The others also looked at Brayden in confusion.


    They had just met Chris, and they had offended the Boas for Chris. What else should they do to show


    their loyalty to Chris?


    Brayden said indifferently, "I''ve already investigated his background. Mr. Shelby is the son-inw of the


    Jefferson family on the East Coast. He came back in public after disappearing for five years. He not


    only helped the Jefferson to dominate East Coast but also destroyed the king of the underground


    there."


    "The woman with him is his wife, Esther Jefferson. Now she is the president of the Chester Group. This


    time, theye to Shandale to inspect the market. We just met Mr. Shelby, but it''s not enough. We still


    need to show our loyalties..."


    "How should we do that?"


    Everyone was confused by Brayden''s words.


    They thought they had already helped Chris a lot.


    Ignoring everyone''s doubts, Brayden continued, "as we all know, more than 90% of the market of


    Shandale is now upied by the four families and the Boas. It must be difficult for the Chester Group


    to make benefits here, so we have to help the Chester Group..."


    Ryan Willow, who had been silent for a long time, asked, "what should we do?"


    "Each of us will offer half of our properties to the Chester Group, which can show our loyalties to Mr.


    Shelby!"


    "What? Half of the properties? Are you crazy?"


    Everyone was shocked by Brayden''s words.


    The four families were all top families of Shandale.


    Half of the properties were worth tens of billions of dors. Why should they send it to Chris just as a


    gift to show their loyalty?


    Brayden snorted, "huh! Is money more important than our lives? As long as we give him half of our


    properties, I believe that Mr. Shelby will protect us. Otherwise, which one of you can bear the anger of


    the Boas?"


    The other three became silent after hearing this.


    If the Boas really attacked them, none of the four families would be a match for the Boas.


    At that time, their families would even be destroyed!


    But they were also reluctant to give up half of the properties.


    Caleb gritted his teeth and said, "we can offer half of our properties, but who knows if Chris can protect


    us?"


    Caden echoed, "yes. If Chris can''t protect us, we might as well give half of our properties to the


    Wizards and let the Wizards protect us!"


    "Ha ha!"


    Brayden sneered, "stupid! The Wizards are as powerful as the Boas. Even if we are willing to support


    them, how can the Wizards protect us?"


    "Are we really going to give such a big gift to the Chester Group? It''s so pitiful!"


    "That''s right. The properties are the painstaking efforts of several generations."


    "Is there no other way?"This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    The other three were hesitant about Brayden''s suggestion.
