I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 545
Fred started to show his strength and the core members of the T Faction in the room immediately felt the pressure.
It was so strong!
Stan narrowed his eyes and was about to make a move when Lorraine spoke.
“Freddy, please don’t interfere. I made this promise myself and I will resolve it myself.”
“Lori, I…”
“Freddy, please trust me.”
“Freddy, come back. I believe Lori will handle it by herself,” Grant also said.
Fred reluctantly stopped pressuring everyone in the room and stepped back.
“Stan, please don’t take offense. After we complete the task assigned by the sect, I will kickstart the ten-year appointment in advance. If you and Zimmerman can become the number one among the younger generation , what’s the harm of me giving myself wholly to
you?”
“Well then, I’ll wait for the good news, but I still need to tell your senior that just because you can make the Gooding family submit, it doesn’t mean you can make the Warner family submit.”
“Oh? What’s the difference between you and the Gooding family?” Fred asked with a loud laugh.
“The Gooding family’s focus is on business while the Warner family’s focus is on the military. This is the biggest difference. Although you are powerful, this is Somerland, and my family’s strength in the Somerland military is beyond your imagination. If you want to come out of hiding it will not do you any good if you have a fallout with the Warner family. Don’t blame me for not reminding you if you can’t complete the task assigned to you by your sect.”
There was nothing wrong with what Stan said.
Although the Warner family and the Gooding family were both among the top four prominent families in Capital City, they were involved in different industries.
The Gooding family was outstanding in the business world while the Warner family had huge power in the military.
The Krums could ignore the Gooding family, but they could not do the same to the Warner family.
“How dare you threaten us.”
“I’m just telling the truth.”
“You…”
“Freddy, please focus on the bigger picture.”
Since Lorraine had said that, she was agreeing with what Stan said.
Over the past few days, they had analyzed the huge forces that existed on the surface of both Capital City and Somerland.
The Warner family’s power in the military could not be underestimated.
Meanwhile, the Zimmerman family had the same huge influence in the political world.
Moreover, there were a lot of forces balancing and intertwining with each other.
They could not destroy the Gooding family just because they wanted to as a slight change would affect everything else.
Their head Ted told them two conditions before they descended from the mountain.
The first was after they successfully met Mason and handed the letter to him, they would then do things according to the rules and regulations of Somerland. They were not allowed to go against them.
The second was that if they failed to meet Mason, one of them would need to go back immediately to report this so that the sect could be prepared.
This was because Ted predicted that Mason was about to die, but nothing in this world was certain.
There might be a change in situation, so he needed to send someone to verify the rumors.
The current situation was that Lorraine and the others not only met Mason but according to Lorraine’s perception, Mason was in good health, and he did not look like a hero who was on the brink of death.
Hence, they had to play by the rules in Somerland.
In short, if Mason was still around, all the hidden sects and families, including the Krums, dared not make trouble in Somerland.
On the other hand, since the major families thought that Mason was about to die, the Gooding family did not want to offend the Krums, so as not to be targeted by the Krums during the chaos in Somerland.
În their respective understandings, neither of the two sides were willing to start a conflict, hence forming a stalemate at that moment.
If the Gooding family learned that Mason was back in his prime and that he could stick around
for nearly another decade, they would not fear the Krums.
Provided, of course, that they could find a way to counter the Krums within the next ten years.
Otherwise, in ten year’s time, they would still be in danger when Mason died.
