A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 1017

1017 /1038

As the head of the Gould family, Jett found himself caught in a difficult position. Sensing his hesitation, Yolanda spoke up again.

"Jett, Patrick has already assured us. As long as we stay neutral, he won't hurt the Goulds. We should trust his word. Frankly, I think these two are the ones with questionable motives."

Meanwhile, Jett had been quietly observing Jack. He was impressed by the way Jack carried himself.

At last, Jett said, "To be honest, I'd rather stand with our longtime allies than take my chances with a dangerous group. However, I have a question first. Elias, even if we do ally, how are we supposed to compete against the Roes and Trevells?"

Moreover, they had strong forces backing them. It was obvious Jett wasn't convinced the alliance had a real chance.

Elias didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned to Jack, who then replied calmly, "There's no need to worry, Jett. The Roes and Carpenters are strong, and yes—they have the underworld and government behind them. But so what?

"I've got more than enough leverage to deal with them. For example, Tarthy City's armed forces and the countless small and medium businesses. There's also the massive capital gains from Boppington and Chopington."

Unable to hide her disdain for Jack's confidence, Yolanda sneered. "Who do you think you are? Aren't you afraid you'll bite your tongue for sprouting nonsense? You really think you can take on Patrick? Have you lost your mind?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Jett's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He asked calmly, "Are you confident about everything you just mentioned?"

Jack answered immediately, "Yes. Within a week, you'll see the forces I mentioned."

It wasn't difficult to mobilize the Tarthy City's armed forces, activate capital from Boppington and Chopington, and rally countless small and medium-sized enterprises.
