I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 447
Cade, the cabinet minister of South River Province was in a meeting when his encrypted phone
rang.
He walked to the side and picked it up as people did not call his encrypted number unless it was an emergency.
“Hello, this is Cade Nelson, cabinet minister of South River Province.”
“Hello, Mr. Nelson! This is Team Vulture’s Lucas Brown.”
“Hello, Captain Brown! How can I help you?” Cade asked courteously.
When people from Team Vulture contacted him, it was usually because a foreign threat had appeared within his jurisdiction and his cooperation was required.
“Hello, Mr. Nelson. Please proceed to Shu City and take further instructions from a man called David Lidell,” Lucas said.
“Captain Brown, did a foreign threat appear in Shu City? What’s the level of threat?” Cade asked.
He needed to know what level of threat this situation was to decide which people to send over.
“None of that. Team Vulture member David Lidell got into conflict with Shu City’s local forces, among which is a government official. I worry that David won’t go easy on the man and cause bigger problems.”
Cade was stunned.
He did not understand why he had to physically go to Shu City when he could resolve this matter with a call.
“Captain Brown, I can easily solve this with a call. Do I really have to go to Shu City?” Cade asked.
While it was his duty to cooperate with Falcon and other special task forces with their missions, this issue today did not sound like an important mission.
He did not want to offend Falcon, but as the cabinet minister of South River Province, he felt humiliated that he had to personally attend to such a small issue.
“Mr. Nelson, if all goes according to plan, David is about to become the eleventh member of the Somerland Parliament. If you think that this is a small matter, then there’s nothing left for me to say.”
‘What?’
Cade’s eyes widened in extreme shock.
David was going to become the eleventh meinber of the Somerland Parliament?
As the cabinet minister of one of Somerland’s provinces, Cade naturally knew what such a position entailed.
“How can that be, Captain Brown? I’ve received no news of such thing!” Cade exclaimed.
As cabinet minister of a province, he should have been notified of such news.
“I’m not joking about this! All provincial cabinet ministers will receive news of this very soon,” Lucas said.
“I-I’m on my way. How can I contact Mr. David Lidell?”
“Alright. Get there asap, I’ll send you David’s contacts in a bit.”
Cade hung up the phone and directly announced the end of the meeting, then he held the core personnel of South River Province back.
“Gather your things, we’re heading to Shu City immediately,” Cade told the remaining people in the room.
“What are we doing in Shu City, Mr. Nelson?”
“Yeah, did something happen, Mr. Nelson?”
Cade replied, “A soon-to-be member of the Parliament is in a pinch. We’ve got to go immediately.”
“What? T-Then we should leave now!”
“Yes, yes! We can’t waste any time!”
The whole conference room broke into a commotion when they heard about a “soon-to-be member of the Parliament.”
David took Celia and Colby to a restaurant and asked for a quiet private room.
Then he received a call from Charles once he got inside.
“David! What happened? Do you need me to step out?” Charles asked over the phone.
“It’s nothing, Charles. There’s no need to come over, I’d have already solved the matter before you arrive anyway. I’ll tell you more when I return to River City in a few days,” David replied.
“”Alright. I’ll be waiting for you, then,” Charles said.
With David’s current strength, there was nothing he could not resolve in a small county like Shu City.
Since this was a small matter, there was no need for anyone else to intervene on his behalf.
David ended the call with Charles and asked Colby, “Tell me about those three.”
“The three of them are Shu City’s trust-fund children. Gilbert, Shu City’s wealthiest man Eden Gill’s son; Jed, Godfather Vaughn’s son; and Lincoln, Shu City’s Deputy Minister Nichols’ son,” Colby replied.
It had taken him a month and all the money he earned over the past few years to obtain this information about the three of them.
He was devastated to find out that despite knowing who these people were, he could not afford to make an enemy out of any of them and had even gotten beaten up.
“A businessman, a gang boss, and a government official. Interesting.” David scoffed.
“What do we do now, David?” Colby asked.
“What else but wait?”
“For who?”
“Someone who can make these three kneel and repent.”
“What?” Colby was dazed.
David continued to drink his tea.
While the winds of chaos blew hard in South River Province outside the private room.
Almost every SCC member within South River Province’s borders had rushed to Shu City.
These people were all from distinguished families in various large cities.
No one had experienced the shocking effect of all these members on the move at the same time until today.
At the same time, the cabinet minister of South River Province was also bringing all South River Province’s high officials to Shu City.
David was about to become the eleventh member of the Somerland Parliament.
Lucas would never dare to make up news like this, so if he said it, it was most likely true.
In which case, cabinet minister Cade of South River Province had to act respectfully.
This was because if Cade made an enemy out of David, he might just be fired from his position as the provincial cabinet master once the latter joined the ranks of Parliament.
Cade was afraid that he would be late, as River City was quite a distance away from Shu City. It would take six to seven hours just to drive there.
Thus, the man decided to take the helicopter.
Cade and the others had just left when his subordinates contacted Shu City’s officials.
They informed the members that Mr. Nelson was about to arrive in Shu City and told the officials there to prepare to welcome the minister.
This caused havoc among Shu City’s officials and the cabinet minister there immediately began to arrange for a welcoming.
The whole of Shu City instantly became busy.
David drank his tea idly.
Soon after, someone messaged him privately to tell him that SCC members closest to Shu City had arrived.
David told them to wait first.
There was someone else he was waiting for.
David believed that Lucas knew what he wanted.
If there was a government official among his opponents, it was only natural to have another government official resolve the issue.
David wanted to attack from multiple aspects and give these people a taste of their own medicine.
He wanted them to feel helpless, to feel terrified, and to feel despair.
He wanted them to release King Kong and send the man back, then get on their knees and apologize.
As for whether they would be forgiven, well, that would depend on King Kong. David was confident that King Kong would not forgive these people.
