1291 Complications
At this moment, Norman’s expression was utterly gloomy.
Just a few minutes ago, he had threatened the helmsmen who left the alliance that they would become the alliance’s enemies. But in the blink of an eye, Norman was the only one left in the alliance, as all the other members had betrayed him.
There was no room for revenge at all.
What he said had become a complete joke!
Norman wasn’t afraid of the Parkers previously, and he still wanted to fight against them because he had the support of the seven families of the alliance. He thought that as long as they united, they didn’t need to be afraid of the Parkers, regardless of what trump cards they had.
But he never thought that the other six helmsmen would be so cowardly that they didn’t even dare to fight against the Parkers.
Now that he was the only one left, what could he do to fight against the Parkers?
If the Holmes were really that capable and confident, there would have been no need to form an alliance and share the benefits. They would have long swallowed up the Parkers by themselves!
Norman was hopping mad!
“You… you have really disappointed me! So much for being the helmsmen of major families. You have no confidence or vigor at all!” Norman hollered furiously. “Can’t you tell that Damon Parker is deliberately pretending on airs to deceive you?
“Once you’ve chosen to submit and hand over half of your family’s properties, the Parkers will be able to soar to greater heights and might even truly become one of the eight top families! When the time comes, it’ll be even harder for us to deal with the Parkers!
“At that time, your families will be reduced to third-tier and fourth-tier families after losing half of your properties. Do you know that when that happens, the Parkers will be able to kill you easily?
“As long as you’re a little bolder, and our families unite, we don’t have to be afraid of the Parkers at all. But you have completely given up a great opportunity and let yourselves go down the doldrums. You’re giving away your assets and opportunities to the Parkers! You’re really going to be the death of me!”
Norman was furious, and he really wanted to beat up these ignorant helmsmen. He wanted to open up their heads and see what was going on with their brains!
The other helmsmen turned pale, but they didn’t intend to change their decision.
“Mr. Holmes, you don’t have to say anymore. We have already made up our minds!” Kaye said. “You may think that the Parkers are just pretending and putting on a front, but I don’t think so! Previously, the Parkers had clearly already obtained a great opportunity to trap us here. Be it through threatening and extorting us or scaring us into giving up our assets, the Parkers had multiple ways to take away countless things from us.

“But they didn’t do so and instead even allowed us to call our people here. Do you think the Parkers would make this decision without enough confidence? Mr. Holmes, you put yourself in the shoes of the Parkers. Would you have given up the advantages you’ve already obtained and risk getting besieged and destroyed by letting us call our people over for a fair fight?”
“Maybe that’s all part of his act to trick us into pledging allegiance? It’s just like a bet, isn’t it?” Norman was so furious that he was speechless.
If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t dare to do what Damon had done.
In his opinion, a fair fight was definitely out of the question. He would stop at nothing for the sake of victory!
Seeing Norman’s reaction, Kaye said, “That’s right. Mr. Holmes, even you wouldn’t dare to take such a huge risk, would you? So what makes you think that the Parkers are just putting on an act to intimidate us?”
The other helmsmen chimed in, “You’re right, Mr. Kaye. The Parkers are fearless, and they even managed to make the Waltons vanish from DC overnight. We’re no match for them at all!”
“Yeah, we’re not as ambitious as you are, Mr. Holmes. You’re bent on replacing the Waltons, but we just want to protect our families!”
“Yes, if we really become the Parkers’ enemies, we will be following in the Waltons’ footsteps. We don’t want that, so we hope to seek your understanding, Mr. Holmes!”
“Mr. Holmes, if you really insist on becoming enemies with the Parkers, we won’t stop you, but please don’t force us to do the same as you!”
…
After hearing what these helmsmen said, Norman was so angry that he almost couldn’t breathe and vomited blood.
“You… That’s not what you said when I proposed attacking the Parkers before. You were so eager to take them down and divvy up their assets. Yet you cowards backed out at the critical moment. Hah!” Norman’s mocking tone made the other helmsmen turn red with embarrassment.
But it wasn’t their fault because they didn’t know that the Parkers were so powerful before this!
Damon’s earlier performance had utterly destroyed their greed.
Suddenly, there was an uproar outside the villa.
Amid the clamor, dozens of cars bulldozed their way straight into the Parkers’ manor, causing the security guards to scream in horror while dodging, almost killing a few people in the process.
The black cars pulled over in front of the Parkers’ main villa, and their wheels left a chaotic mess all over the beautifully decorated and pruned garden.
As soon as the cars stopped, four burly men came out of each car. Soon, there were nearly 200 people standing in front of the Parkers’ main villa with menacing expressions on their faces. They were obviously not to be trifled with!
The seven helmsmen were all shocked to see the changes outside the window.
They clearly came with hostile intentions toward the Parkers!
“Mr. Holmes, are… are these the people you called? They arrived so soon?” one of the helmsmen said in astonishment.
Among them, only Norman had called his people to come over. The others didn’t make any calls because they didn’t plan on becoming enemies with the Parkers.
Norman carefully sized up the people and cars outside the window and shook his head. “No, those are not my people.
“Look, those cars are all Audi A8s, and there are at least forty of them. This is definitely the doing of a major family! Furthermore, those people don’t look like ordinary experts either. I reckon this is the doing of one of the eight top families!”
Norman’s words left the helmsmen dumbfounded.
“What? This is the doing of one of the eight top families in DC? Could the Parkers have offended one of them, so they’re here to settle the score?”
