    Trantor: 549690339


    “Sayon, Cooper family.


    After a night of rest, Maddox barely managed to catch his breath, but he still appeared pale and spiritless, as if he had aged considerably overnight.


    However, there was no time for him to rest now, he had to think of strategies to salvage the current situation of the Cooper family.


    At the moment, the Cooper family was like duckweed in the storm, teetering on the brink of copse.


    Therefore, early in the morning, Maddox gathered all the core members of the Cooper family for a closed-door meeting.


    But before they coulde up with any solutions, Maddox’s phone rang, interrupting their meeting.


    “Maverick…Maverick Scot?”


    Upon seeing the name disyed on the phone, Maddox’s face immediately took on a gloomy expression.


    This Maverick Scot was the Family Head of the Scot family, a prominent family in Joliam, and also Connor Cooper’s maternal uncle!


    The wealth of the Scot family greatly exceeded that of the Cooper family. Back in the day, it was this very fact that made Maddox coerce Rhett into marrying a daughter of the Scot family.


    Through the years, with the support of the Scot family, the Cooper family was able to secure their position among the top families in Sayon.


    The reason why Maddox appeared so anxious was because Maverick Scot, who was unable to have children, cherished his nephew, Connor Cooper, greatly. A phone call at such a critical juncture was more than likely to be in search of an exnation for the current events.


    With this in mind, a bitter taste rose in Maddox’s mouth. Despite feeling helpless, he answered the call.


    As expected, as soon as he answered, Maverick Scot’s roar rang out from the phone: “Maddox Cooper! Are you Cooper family members trying to court death? So many of you can’t even protect a child?!


    I handed Connor over to you to care for, is this how you respond? Huh?!


    I’m asking you, who dared to hit my Connor? Has your Cooper family caught him yet? Speak up! Otherwise, I will personally go to Sayon, first level your Cooper family, then deal with that brat!!”


    Hearing these words, Maddox’s face twitched a few times, and the bitter taste intensified.


    “Inw, I’m innocent, it’s really not me… it’s just that, we can’t afford to mess with them!!” Maddox said in extreme agony.


    Upon hearing this, Maverick Scot roared again: “Bullshit! Didn’t you inform them that Connor is the nephew of Maverick Scot? Huh?!


    What, are your mouths just used for eating shit? Didn’t I tell you that apart from the likes of David Herb and Nan Xiaodu, Longman Jack, I couldn’t give a damn about anyone else. Are you deaf?”


    Uh…


    Maddox hesitated for a moment, then quietly said: “Inw, those people you just mentioned, they all backed that bratst night…”


    Hm? What?!


    A confused sound could clearly be heard from the other end of the phone, followed by silence.


    Maddox gave a bitter smile. After a long while, he heard Maverick Scot’s voice again from the phone. However, his tone was much gentler this time.


    Maverick Scot asked with some surprise, “Are you… Are you telling the truth? The three big shots in Sayon are all backing that brat?”


    “Absolutely true, everyone in my Cooper family can testify to that.”


    Whoosh!


    Hearing Maddox’s words, Maverick Scot instantly made a shocked noise at the other end of the phone, followed by another round of silence.


    Finally, after several minutes, Maverick Scot regained hisprehension, and asked in astonishment, “Who on earth is that brat? Why can he have all three big shots in Sayon supporting him?”


    This question was also what everyone present was desperate to understand. They had all spent a long time pondering this after going backst night, but they remained puzzled.


    s…


    Maddox sighed, and in a devastated tone said, “To be honest, I have no idea, I only know he justpleted a five-year sentence in prison and was only recently released.”


    “Prison?”


    Upon hearing this, Maverick Scot couldn’t help but specte, “Could it be that he befriended someone powerful while in prison?”


    However, as soon as he finished his sentence, Maverick Scot denied his own hypothesis, “Having been in prison, no matter how formidable, his power would be limited and he shouldn’t be able to rally such significant support.”


    “Wait a minute!”


    Maddox’s expression turned took on a baffled look as if he had just thought of something. He said in utter disbelief, “Myles!”


    Myles?


    There was a moment of confusion at the other end of the phone, and then a rushed realization.


    “Are you referring to the once dominant overlord of Sayon, the man known as Sayon’s King, who was imprisoned ten years ago, Myles?” Maverick Scot couldn’t help but ask, his words filled with reverence.


    Maddox responded, his voice tinged with fear and uncertainty: “Yes, I’m talking about him!”


    Whoosh!


    Upon hearing this, Maverick Scot on the other end of the line took a sharp intake of breath.


    Clearly, they both understood what kind of figure Myles was.


    He was the once supreme ruler of Sayon. During his peak reign, all of Sayon was no more than his personal property, it wasn’t an overstatement to refer to it as his backyard.


    Back then, people like Longman Jack, Amanda, and others were merely his subordinates. David Herb only took over Myles’s business when Myles was imprisoned, leading to his current sess.


    Myles’s fall led to the rise of three big shots in Sayon. This was a testament to how formidable Myles was in his prime.


    At this moment, Maddox continued his analysis, “If White Mitchell’s backer is truly Myles, then his return this time is probably Myles’s idea. Remember, although Myles is in prison, he still has supporters.


    Back then, he only received a ten-year sentence for offending someone from the War Department. After his release, he’s sure to make aeback.


    And White Mitchell might just be his vanguard for his return to Sayon, a pawn he has carefully ced.”


    Whoosh!


    A surprised voice came from the other end of the phone. Maverick Scot then hurriedly replied, “Then what the hell are you waiting for? Why aren’t you leading people to apologize to him?


    If the Cooper family falls, so be it! But don’t drag my nephew into this mess! Do you understand?”


    Maddox felt a chill, his pupils contracted with fear. He urgently said to the members of Cooper family, “Hurry! Quick! Quick!


    Find Rhett quickly, also bring along a pair of jade bracelets passed down by our ancestors!


    All of my direct descendants, follow me to apologize to Mori Jones! No matter what, we must get Mori Jones’s forgiveness!!!”


    Maddox was clear that White Mitchell was standing up for Mori Jones. As long as the Cooper family could get Mori Jones’s forgiveness, they might get a chance to turn things around. Who knows, they might even connect with Myles through this.


    Boom!


    Upon hearing this, the Cooper family members began to scramble and prepare. In no time, they were ready to go. The patriarch of the Cooper family led them, along with Rhett, towards the Jones Family.


    While the Cooper family were hastening to the Jones Family, thetter was still scoffing at what White Mitchell had said.


    In their view, after the big incident caused by White Mitchell at the Cooper familyst night, the Cooper family would definitely not let Mori Jones off the hook easily. They wouldn’t let the Jones Family off the hook, either.


    No doubt, White Mitchell had once again brought big trouble to the Jones Family.


    “Give it a rest, White Mitchell! Do you know what you’re saying? The people you hit are from the Cooper family, a top-tier family! Do you know what a top-tier family implies? With just one word, they could obliterate our Jones Family. Do you really think that with your meager martial arts skills, you can do whatever you want?


    The Cooper family can casually spend some money and take your life. Do you really think you’re the Monkey King, causing havoc in Heaven?” Snowden Jones sarcastically rebuked.


    Upon hearing this, White Mitchell coldly smirked, “Oh? So you’re saying that with money and influence, one can do whatever they want?”


    Hearing his remark, Snowden Jones nced at White Mitchell contemptuously, and sneered, “Exactly! Power and influence give one the freedom to do whatever they please! But you, penniless and powerless, are merely farting around here!”


    White Mitchell calmly shook his head, saying, “We’ll see who’s merely farting around.”


    “If the Cooper family should show up, I, Snowden Jones, will…” Snowden’s retort was cut off as they heard bustling noises from outside their door.


    It seemed that a lot of people had arrived. In a short while, the doorbell of the Jones Family began to ring.


    Huh?


    After hearing themotion, the members of the Jones Family stared in surprise, a sense of fear creeping up within them. They’ve had so many troublesome visitors recently that they’ve developed a sort of conditioned fear response.


    Meanwhile, White Mitchell looked at Snowden Jones with a yful expression, teasing, “Why don’t you go open the door? Maybe the Cooper family hase to apologize.”


    The Cooper family?


    Apologize?


    Upon hearing this, Snowden Jones burst out in incredulousughter and jeered, “How na?ve! You better pray that these people are not here to give you trouble!


    If they are, our Jones Family will not hesitate to throw you to the wolves, let them tear you limb from limb!”
