Chapter 944 Money Talks!


    While observing Jonah on the monitor, John casually asked, "Knowing you, Jarett, you wouldn''t


    agree to meet someone like him alone. Did something happen?"


    Jonah was directly involved in the events seventeen years ago! The recent appearance of a


    Nicholson descendant had thrown their lives into chaos.


    Previously, in their attempt to use Alice to threaten Kingsley, they staged a fake death incident, but it


    failed.


    At Hill Crest Hospital, Felix and Matt were beaten to near death and were still lying in bed. In fact, it


    would probably take them several months to recover.


    John worried Jonah had be Kingsley''s target, and if Jarett found out about the events


    seventeen years ago, it could be troublesome. Cosmo strictly ordered that the matter be kept


    completely confidential. So, John was trying to subtly find out from Jarett what had happened.


    "His son got involved with someone from the underworld and was kidnapped," Jarett said. "I sent


    people to help resolve the situation, but we got reported, and all my men were arrested. I think he


    wants me to help find his son."


    John eased a little and smiled. "Hehe, the eldest son of Lawson Group being kidnapped by


    someone from the underworld. It''ll be the joke of the town if word gets out. But who exactly is this


    person with such audacity?"


    Jarett turned grim as he revealed, "I managed to bail the leader of Ivory Fang Sect out yesterday,


    and ording to him, the other party is from the new force led by Kenny."


    A hint of fierceness shed in his eyes as he continued, "That man has gotten audacioustely. He


    wouldn''t even show me due respect even though I sent the leader of the Ivory Fang Sect over!"


    Just then, a thought hit him, and he asked, "By the way, Mr. Timothy, the guy who partnered with


    Kenny to establish the force, Cassius White, isn''t he your son-inw? It was because you spoke up


    for him back then that I helped him establish the Nightfall Gang and even allowed him to attach his


    gang to mine."


    At the mention of Cassius, John turned icy. "Son-inw? Huh, some son-inw he is!"


    Thest time he sent people to bring Shannon home, Cassius ended up defeating Horace, his best


    fighter, brutally. Now that Cassius'' new force was flourishing, with plenty of underlings, it became


    even more difficult for him to force Shannon home.

    At that, he turned to the underground overlord. "Jarett, can your Cole Gang deal with that d*mn new


    force?"


    Jarett immediately understood; John hadpletely fallen out with Cassius.


    "Mr. Timothy, although that new force hasn''t officially established its name in the underworld, its


    strength is not to be underestimated," he said slowly. "Moreover, I''ve been trying to find ways to


    clean up and make money. If a sudden upheaval urs in the underworld, it might not be


    suitable…"


    He didn''t say it definitively, testing John''s attitude. If this super-rich man could provide him with a


    staggering sum, he might be willing to take on Kenny''s new force.


    Upon hearing the words ''make money,'' John immediately understood Jarett''s intention. He


    chuckled, pointed at the monitor, and changed the topic, saying, "Jarett, it seems like Lawson is


    getting impatient over there."


    While he indeed harbored resentment toward Cassius, he wasn''t willing to just give arge sum of


    money to Jarett. As for the matter involving Kingsley, he certainly couldn''t bring it up in front of


    Jarett. If Jarett were to ask about any conflicts between them, he wouldn''t be able to exin it.


    Jarett wasn''t upset even though John didn''t pursue the matter further. He stood up with a chuckle


    and said, "I have a feeling he will leave at any given minute. I''ll go see him now."


    When he arrived at the doorway of the monitoring room, he turned back and said, "Mr. Timothy,


    come to me when you genuinely need me."


    In other words, when John was ready to spend money, Jarett would step in.


    While Jarett and Jonah were meeting, Kingsley received a reply from Lancer.


    He had instructed Lancer to investigate the whereabouts of the actor River Zarnell the evening


    before.


    Investigating a minor actor was a piece of cake for those in Coliree Ind, and just like that,


    Lancer''s information came through early that morning.
