After Peter took a pick of the men and left Hex Capital, he sat inside the car for a long time.
Johann had earlier said that he was busy as of late. It was obviously some big move, and with his disinclination to reveal anything, it must surely be a big deal.
Peter received the news that there have been many people from the gray areas who wanted to interfere with the west side project. Some even organized a band of workers with the intention to use the identity of a foreman to meddle with it. Johann however, had been silent on that issue.
Peter initially thought that Johann was ambitionless and did not want to participate to avoid getting himself hurt, but it now seemed that Johann had other plans.
Could it be...
Peter was stunned. If Johann really dared to go against all the others and took control of Cloud City's shady areas, then Johann would be a person worthy of his attention.
"Looks like I'll have to establish a good relationship with Johann in the future. If he succeeds, his power in Cloud City would be unimaginable."
At the same time in another club.
Harvey hugged two hot women; one on his left and another on his right. Another burly man was sitting in the same private room.
"Brother Gareth, have you considered what I spoke to you about?" Harvey said to Gareth.
Gareth Chase was one of the figures in Cloud City's underbelly and his influence was almost on par with Johann's.
Gareth smiled at Harvey and asked, "You’re not trying t o trick me, are you Harvey? You're from the Sue family but now you want me to secretly make moves against the Sue family. Why would I trust you?"
Harvey smiled coldly and said, "You've misunderstood me, Brother Gareth. Even though I belong to the Sue family, I’m not in charge of the west side project. That Yvonne woman wants to rise the Sue family's ranks, and if she's really allowed to do it, it'll definitely threaten my status. Why should I let the west side project go smoothly?"
"Yvonne is your younger sibling," Gareth pointed out.
"Sibling?" Harvey's expression turned gloomy and he said, "I can't wait to kick her out of the Sue family. Sibling, my foot. Her spineless good-for-nothing husband tarnished our Sue family's reputation on many occasions. If not for our failure to find a proper excuse, she would've long been booted out of the Sue family."
Gareth smiled faintly. The incident in Crystal
Restaurant allowed the Sue family scandal from three years ago to resurface yet again. While it was indeed a n embarrassment for the Sue family, Gareth was surprised that Harvey would go to such lengths as to ignore their blood relationship.
"That good-for-nothing really is quite amazing. He still swallows his anger and submits himself to humiliation after being in the Sue family for three full years. I heard he does housework every day. Such a disgrace to all men." Gareth shook his head in disdain.
If Gareth really did have a relationship with Yvonne, would it then be possible to drive Yvonne out of the Sue family on the basis that she corrupted the family name?
After thinking about it, Harvey said to Gareth, "Brother Gareth, I can help you if you’re interested in her."
"Sweet, now you're talking, hahaha. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you with what you asked," Gareth said and laughed.
The project on the west side of the city had been officially launched. As a supplier of building materials, the Sue family must not only guarantee the materials used but also ensure the safety of those building materials during the time of construction.
Three days later, a group of people rushed into the construction site. They smashed the materials and even hit anyone they saw. It was absolutely hostile. Moreover, the Sue family was forcibly blocked from transporting building materials, and although a police report temporarily allayed the situation, those people fought as though it was a guerrilla war and might soon appear at the next juncture. The Sue family was very troubled by that.
On that day, the Sue family urgently convened an internal meeting and even the old lady attended it. Since it was related to the west side project, she did not want any mistakes to happen.
"Do you know who the other party is? The motive for them to cause trouble is surely money," the old lady asked Yvonne at the meeting. She was the project leader, and when a problem popped up, the responsibility naturally fell on Yvonne.
Yvonne shook her head and said, "Grandma, I’ve gotten people to launch an investigation, but there aren't any findings yet."
"There aren’t any findings yet? Is it possible that you don't even have the capability of launching such an investigation?" Harvey asked in an odd manner.
