Chapter 773
Jayden knew he was not privy to the intricacies of the wealthy families conflicts, but he was aware that Owen was not someone to be underestimated. If Owen discovered that he had been decrived, it could tum problematic. With this thought, Jayden fixed a steely gaze, realizing that if a confrontation or a melee were to ur, he would need to eliminate them to secure his position
What else could he do! Although he was a powerful figure as a <b>gang </b>leader, he was not the ultimate boss and had higher–ups watching his every move. The fate of Owen was directly tied to his <b>survival</b>. Given the deadly rivalry between Matthew and Owen, if he managed to deceive Owen, he had to ensure he was prepared for any fallout.
Matthew had a different n in mind. He aimed to capture Owen and use him as bait to lure out Ethan. Matthew was convinced he had seen Ethan before, and Ethan had sent a distress signal indicating he had something crucial to share. The sudden disappearance and subsequent pursuit of Ethan suggested someone was actively trying to prevent their meeting. All these clues pointed to one conclusion: someone was trying to keep the truth from him. Matthew believed that Owen was the prime suspect,
Ethan’s sudden disappearance had left him in hiding, and Matthew suspected that Owen was behind it. Now that Matthew had reached this <b>ce</b>. Ethan was <b>cornered </b>and dared not <b>make </b>a move. If Mathew could capture Owen, he believed that Ethan would realize only he could provide the help he needed. This, Matthew hoped, would prompt Ethan to reveal himself.
As the truth drew nearer, Mathew knew it was crucial to act swiftly. He thought, Mr. Anderson, well be meeting very soon!”
Matthew sneered, instructing his team to prepare for when O
Owen arrived. The key was to ensure that Oren’s guards were reced with his people 10 guarantee everything went smoothly. With Davin’s men assisting, it didn’t take <b>long </b>for Owen’s group to be located Once everything was set, it <b>was </b>time for Matthew to meet Owen
As time ticked by, Owen tried to find a moment to slip away, but Charles kept a tight watch on <b>him. </b>Charles didn’t leave Owen’s side, even assigning his subordinates to <b>keep </b><b>a </b>close eye on him. Owen had no opportunity to escape, as he <b>was </b>under constant surveince, even during meals, bathroom breaks<b>, </b>and showers. Frustration and anger built up within him.
Owen had initially hoped to <b>avoid </b>Valerie, but he found Charles to be even more tenacious, sticking to him like glue. Lying in bed, he furrowed his and thought, “Manhew is so cunning and <b>has </b>always outmaneuvered me in our confrontations. How did Jayden manage to capture him sa easily! And why didn’t they ask for any money for capturing Matthew
Logically, Matthew is incredibly wealthy. Shouldn’t Valerie have received some sort of ransom demand? It doesn’t <b>make </b>sense that Matthew could be captured so <b>easily </b>
Owen started to suspect something was off. If he <b>had </b>been in that situation, he would have first contacted <b>himself </b>and then reached out domestically for a ransom. Given Matthew’s immense wealth, even criminal organizations abroad would have been well aware of his significance. Owen knew <b>that </b>his ultimate goal was <b>to </b>take over Noria Group, <b>and </b>Jayden was aware of that too. However, the Grant family’s assets were substantial. Considering thevish gifts given by Sophia, for Valerie’s baby, it was clear that Sophia had a considerable amount of valuable assets. Owen wondered if Jayden <b>was </b>aware of this. For them, the more money they could extract, the better. It would make sense to drain every bit of wealth from the Grant family,
Owen wanted both the assets of the Noria Group and the Grant family. He doubted that Jayden would overlook such an opportunity, making him suspicious of the situation. Given the unpredictable nature of conflicts and the fact that he was in Wakanda, Owen had no one else to trust.
The best course of action was to stay cautious and observe. Years of navigating experiences had taught Owen never to trust others easily. He valued his life too much to rush into anything. Therefore, he decided not to leave just yet and chose to stay put and watch for any <b>signs </b>of betrayal or deception.
Owen pretended to be unwell, iming he needed to rest in the hotel for a couple of days. Secing Owen’s flushed appearance, Charles chose not to <b>press </b>the matter further.
He thought. Given <b>that </b>Mr. Anderson’s forces were actively searching for Mr. Grant, it wouldn’t be wise to push him too hard. Charles agreed to let him <b>stay</b><b>, </b>knowing that no matter what, Owen wouldn’t be able to escape this situation. Charles nced outside, noting that this hotel was currently the only one they had been able to fund
Unbeknownst to Charles, Owen had already begun plotting. Once inside his hotel room, Owen reached out to Jayden’s subordinates. Despite his distrust of Jayden, Owen knew that his men could be swayed with money. He promised one of them 600 thousand dors if they sessfully assisted him. <b>This </b>amount would be more than enough for the man to livefortably in Wakanda.
Owen, after <b>making contact </b>with his aplices, noticed Charles stationed nearby and couldn’t help but smirk. He thought, ‘Charles Husson, just wait. When Ie back, you’ll get what’sing to you!
Charles remained unaware of Owen’s ns but was highly alert. Valerie had warned him that Owen <b>was </b>cunning and deceitful, and wouldn’t simplyply without causing trouble. Although Valerie had used the Anderson family’s reputation to threaten Owen, but Owen was known for his ruthlessness in achieving his goals. Charles knew he had to be fully prepared and vignt.
In the deep of night, Owen’s eyes snapped open at the slightest buzz of his phone. He immediately sprang up, a cold smirk spreading a

face as he read the message. Meanwhile, a shadowy figure quicily slipped into the hotel room, swiftly overpowered the guard at the door, andunched <b>a </b>rapid counterattack.
“Who’s there?” Charles jolted awake, immediately alert to a muffled sounding from outside. His heart raced as he swiftly grabbed his gun. ready for any immediate threat.
Owen’s men burst through the door, and upon seeing the bed, they immediately lunged forward with knives. After Charles <b>managed </b>to take down two of them, the rest of Owen’s team finally reacted. Despite his skills. Charles was overwhelmed by their numbers <b>and </b>was soon pinned to the ground.
The lights flickered on with a snap, revealing the intruders. Charles couldn’t help but sneer. “Mr. Anderson, you don’t know when to give up! Even if you’ve caught me, you’re not going to escape”
The sharp p echoed through the room. “You little brat, who do you think you are?” Owen’s voice was icy. “Just because you’re with Matthew doesn’t <b>make </b>you untouchable. Do you <b>think </b>you’re someone important? In my territory, how dare you act so arrogant?” With a <b>final</b><b>, </b>forceful kick, he emphasized his point.
Charles nearly choked, coughing up a rusty taste in his throat. “Mr. Anderson, do you even <b>realize </b>what you’re doing? Aren’t you <b>afraid </b>of <b>what </b>might happen in Kranson City?”
Owen pped him again. “Dare to threaten me, you little brat? Do you even know who you’re messing with? This is what happens when you disrespect me!”
