    Chapter 709 The Feud (14) Gather Strength


    A few dayster, the news of Melvin''s death spread quickly throughout the whole of Northfield and


    caused a national uproar.


    Rowan openly expressed his guilt and regret over Melvin''s death. Then he publicized everything that


    happened in the state dining room that night. And he also expressed deep regret that he had forcibly


    ordered his arrest.


    Of course, he didn''t reveal whether the assassination to him nned by Melvin was true or false. He


    would wait until Oscar had done everything he should do and then stand out to say it was all a


    misunderstanding. In the end, he could me Oscar for Melvin''s death and everything else. So, he


    could not only own Northfield but also do it justifiably.


    Imagining everything to be perfect, the Collinses began to enjoy theiring benefits.


    With the troops of the Collins family, Oscar started his secret persuasion and repression of the


    Balderston family.


    First, he held Mrs Balderston and took her to the so-called resort to rest on the grounds that she was


    devastated because of her son''s death. In fact, insiders all knew that she was only ced under house


    arrest. After controlling Mrs Balderston, Oscar started with the most powerful member of the Balderston


    family. Given advance notice, many of Melvin''s close associates either surrendered or were discarded


    by him. Some of them died in the end.


    All of these only took a week.


    Oscar grasped over 60% of Melvin''s power, which meant it would be a piece of cake for the Collins


    family to announce that they were about to take over the Balderston family because it had lost its


    leader and Mrs Balderston was too sad to run the family.


    Rowan praised Oscar a lot, "Oscar, what you''ve done is far higher than I imagined again. I thought you


    could at most achieve 30 to 40 per cent within a week. But I didn''t expect you could make it to 60 per


    cent."


    "It''s not as tough as you think. Now the Balderstons have lost their leader, so it''s in a state of disunity.


    As long as one surrenders then everyone else willpromise, because no one won''t look out for his


    own interests and rights. But I do cause a loss to you because I couldn''t persuade two powerful


    retainers of the Balderston family and killed them." Oscar showed a little self-usation.


    "I know what you''re considering. If you didn''t kill them to establish your prestige, it wouldn''t be so fast to


    finish all of these. And you can outperform them all, so I lose nothing." Rowan admired him again and


    lift him to a high position.


    "It''s my pleasure."


    "Good, now that it''s all in our n, we can hold Melvin''s memorial meeting tomorrow. And I''ll let Mrs

    Balderston attend but won''t give her any chance to speak from the beginning to the end. If the press


    gets her pictures, we can say she''s too sad to talk. On the memorial, I''ll arrange for someone to sigh on


    purpose to bring up the subject of the Balderston family being ungoverned now, and then I''ll take over


    the whole family pretending I''m reluctant. Everything worked out fine in the end." Rowan was making


    his n.


    "Congrattions." Oscarplimented.


    Rowanughed loudly. He was so excited that he couldn''t control himself, "Oscar, I''ll give you a big gift


    then!"


    "I''ll appreciate it." Oscar seemed to be joyful, knowing the cunning and insidiousness in Rowan''s eyes.


    "You need to arrange and prepare the thing tomorrow. After all, the Balderston family still maintains 40


    per cent of its power, so someone will inevitably turn up at the memorial tomorrow. I''ll leave the security


    work to you."


    "You may rest assured. I''ll fight to the death to keep you safe and maintain order at the memorial. No


    one can interfere with your control of the Balderston family."


    "Good! I trust your capacity. You can go back and prepare it, and you can talk to me if you''re uncertain


    about something."


    "Yes. I''ll report to you as I finish it."


    Rowan nodded.


    After Oscar had left, Rowan could hardly conceal his excitement and said to Mathew, "Tomorrow, we''ll


    see a new world."


    Mathew was excited, too, "Congrattions, father!"


    Rowan patted Mathew''s shoulder and said, "This will be your world one day. I''m old and don''t have


    much energy now. When this is all over, I''ll turn the family over to you."


    "You''re still vigorous, I''m willing to assist you always."


    "That''s good." Rowan smiled, "You''re my son."


    Saying somepliments, the father and son were both in a good mood. Sarah was, however, a little


    emotional because she realized that the more Oscar did now, the worse he would die. Then a hint of


    dark shed in her eyes.


    Anyway, it was not her business to care about Oscar Wells, she told herself.


    After returning to his apartment, Oscar phoned Melvin, "Rowan will hold a memorial meeting for you


    tomorrow."


    "Have you done the arrangement?" Melvin sat drinking tea in a ss house on the ind.


    He felt much better after a week''s rest and he seemed to be taking his time.


    "Everything is ready. You only need to bring your people here tomorrow, and then I''ll take control of the


    troops and you can just walk into the memorial directly. After you kill Rowan and Mathew, the Collins


    family will be divided and leaderless, just like your family. I think it only will take us a week to take over


    the Collins family."


    "Oscar, I won''t suspect you anymore since we have gotten this far. But I still want to remind you that I


    can guarantee Hannah and your child''s safety if you don''t betray me."


    "That''s all I want!" Oscar said.


    Without saying anything more, Melvin hung up the phone.


    Oscar put down his phone, too. Behind his back, Theodore handed him a cigarette and asked, "Big day


    tomorrow, right?"


    Would the world war break out again?


    Oscar nodded, "Are you ready?"


    "Yes," Theodore nodded and said, "After Melvin kills them, I''ll take our men to kill him. In the


    meanwhile, my dad will attack the ind with our people to rescue Cian and Hannah. But Manuel will


    sneak into the ind before this, and my dad willunch the rescue ording to Manuel''s signal. As


    long as Melvin gets most of his troops off, we''ll be able to get them out. Don''t worry."


    "OK."


    Oscar just nodded but didn''t say anything more. That seemed to mean many things were no longer to


    be talked about. If they seeded tomorrow, they seed. If they failed tomorrow, they could never try


    it again.
