Chapter 418 Coercion
While the car was parked for a break, ck Star called Thunderstorm.
"Thunderstorm, has anything happened while I''ve been away?" ck Star asked in a deep voice.
At that moment, Thunderstorm was waiting for apromise message from Mason at the main entrance of the NC Organization in Kreanford.
Receiving a call from ck Star at this time caught Thunderstorm off guard. He hesitated for a moment before replying. "Nothing has happened, don''t
worry, Hall Master.”
"Good, as long as everything is fine.”
"By the way, our nned expansion into Ednd is canceled, do you understand?” ck Star''s tone shifted.
"Why?" Thunderstorm’s voice turned serious, carrying a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction.
"Because there''s a force in Ednd we can''t afford to provoke! Just do as I say!" ck Star''s voice turned cold. feeling secretly annoyed at
Thunderstorm''s questioning of his decision
Internally, Thunderstorm grunted and gritted his teeth. "I understand, Hall Master. By the way, when will you be back?”
After some thought, ck Star replied, "Earliest by midnight today, more likely the day after tomorrow.”
As an underground organization, the NC Organization, along with his and Lightless'' identities, including Nathaniel of the ck Moon Cult, were highly
sensitive. Therefore, driving back to Kreanford would take at least a whole day, with potential stops for rest, meals, and amodation.
After hanging up, ck Star couldn''t shake an unsettling feeling. However, thinking it through, he dismissed the notion of any real issues. After all,
Landon wasn''t in Ednd, and Thunderstorm wouldn''t provoke him either. As for the Graham family, they kept a low profile in Ednd and had little
contact with the outside world, making any encounters unlikely.
"Darn it, maybe I''m just overthinking it! Have I been spooked by Landon and that old man, making me paranoid?" ck Star shook his head,
speaking somewhat self-deprecatingly.
Meanwhile, after finishing the call with ck Star, Thunderstorm let out a heavy, disdainful sigh.
“Thunderstorm, what''s wrong? Was it the Hall Master who called?" Cobra, clearly aligned with Thunderstorm in the NC Organization, asked with
concern.
"Yes! ck Star actually said to cancel the original n to expand our influence into Ednd!"
"Hmph!" Thunderstorm snorted, his expression dark. "I suspect someone has informed him about my move against Mason''s influence in Ednd. Is
he worried that my sess might threaten his position as the Hall Master?"
Hearing this, Cobra frowned and inquired, "What should we do then?"
“Hmph! We''ll do what needs to be done, and we won''t bother with him! I''ll get things done first! Continue to pressure Mason! Damn it, he''s trying to
dy things until thest minute, isn''t he? I''ll prepare a little show for him and then send it to Mason!” Thunderstorm said, sneering coldly.
A momentter, inside the Gold Coast Club!
Mason''s phone received a video. In the video, Emmanuel was tied to an iron chair and repeatedly beaten by a group of people. His face was covered
with a cloth and someone was pouring water over it. Watching this scene, Mason was consumed with rage.
Due to this incident, Miranda didn’t go to thepany today; she stayed with Cara. Seeing Emmanuel being tortured, Cara burst into tears, deeply
distressed. Miranda''s face was filled with concern and anger reaching its peak.
"Mr. Lowe, how''s it going? Hehe...
Aren''t you ready topromise yet?
We at the NG-Organi zation value our
credibility, sorest assured, we
promise Adt to kill your father before
tonight: But, we might put ona little
showdor him. I''m sure you won''t
mind; will you? Actually, what’are
you dying for? The end-résult will
be the same, won''t it? Dé’you have
to wait until thest minute to
compromise? Let your father suffer
a little more?" Cobra called, sneering
and speaking in a mocking tone.
"Alright! Alright! I agree to your terms! I agree to have my people join the NC Organization. Just don''t touch my dad anymore, got it?” Seeing his
father being tortured, Mason''s state of mind finally crumbled, and he bellowed into the phone.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
Hearing him speak this way, Cara didn''t say anything, just wiped away her tears, and Miranda didn''t try to persuade him further.
"Hehehe, if only you had done this earlier.”
"When should we hold the underground meeting? Tell me!" Cobra scoffed, his tone tinged with smugness
Mason took a deep breath. "Let me
arrange it, as soon as possible,
okay? I haveto gather other people
and, as per you request, inform ?
Henry ard other major and minor
knoe ll calcte and let you
kno e specific time. Rest<~
assured, I''ll do it as soon as
péssible. Before that, please don''t
torture my father anymore. After all,
once I join you, I''ll be your brother,
won''t I?"
“Of course! I''ll give you half an hour, and after that, you tell me!" Cobra said, then hung up the phone.
"Mason, what should we do? Should we inform them now?" Cara asked, wiping her tears.
Mason thought for a moment, then looked at Miranda. "Miranda, you''ve managed to contact my brother-inw, right? I''ll give him a call first and see
when he cane back...”
At this time, L was driving and had already arrived at the Vieah City Airport in Nading State. When he received the call from Mason, he was
told about the situation back home. It was clear that Mason was at a loss.
After hearing it all, L''s face turned extremely grim. His father-inw had fallen into the hands of the NC Organization and was being used as a
hostage, and now they dared to inflict torture as well? Damn it!
"Mason, you''re doing the right thing! Agree to their terms first, don''t let your Dad suffer anymore! I''m on a ne right now; I should be back in
Kreanford in about three hours," L said in a deep voice. Then, after some thought, he instructed Mason, "You should..."
"Okay!"
"Alright, I understand, brother-inw..."
Mason responded as he listened, then hung up and called Cobra back.
"How''s it going, Mr. Lowe? Have you arranged everything?" Cobra inquired.
Mason took a.deep breath. "When
hold this undérground meeting, wil
the NC Organization send people
over? Ottrerwise, how can I show
loyalty te thin air in front of so many
people? I don''t know, will Hall. Master
Thunderstorme? Also wean you
bring my dad over? Then,-ean you
release him directly?" Content

Hearing this, Cobra hesitated and looked to Thunderstorm for consultation. The two questions Mason asked were not easy to answer. After a moment
of contemtion, Thundersterm said to Cobra, "Give me the phone!”
