The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 627

The plot to seize Myth Group was spearheaded by the Norberg family, but behind the scenes, it was the Benton family—specifically Everett—who was pulling the strings.

Malcolm was already dead, but their enemies were far from eradicated.

For most people, knowing that the Benton family was involved might be enough to make them back down. But for Nolan, no matter who the enemy was, they would have to pay a heavy price.

Blood debts must be repaid with blood!

At this moment, a flash of madness and anger crossed Scarlet's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "I used to think I was a rare talent, but now I see that each younger generation in this country is stronger than the next. It makes me hate myself a little."

Was Scarlet weak? Not at all.

He could hold his own against one of the Duo of Doom and even gain the upper hand. His strength was definitely enough to place him in the top 20 of the Tiger Ranking. Coupled with his youth, Scarlet was undeniably a genius in the eyes of many.

But right now, his words weren't without merit.

Harper, at just 20 years old, was already a top-tier figure on the Tiger Ranking. Her talent was nothing short of rare and extraordinary.

And now, there was Everett, who was widely regarded as a future Dragon-ranked powerhouse. And with Shelby personally mentoring him, his future achievements were limitless.

In comparison, Scarlet's strength did seem somewhat lacking.

Pierce looked at Scarlet and chuckled coldly. "Scarlet, as long as you stay by Mr. Greene's side, do you really think you won't have opportunities to become stronger? Countless people would kill for the chance you have, so don't sell yourself short."

Hearing this, Scarlet finally smiled and said arrogantly, "You're right. Maybe I'm not as talented as them, but I have Mr. Greene, and they don't! Hahaha!"

"And that would lead to countless people wanting to challenge Mr. Benton Senior to a fight, which would be problematic for the Benton family. That alone means it's impossible for the Benton family to ignore the Duo of Doom's death."

Pierce then looked at Nolan, asking, "Mr. Greene, you have no intention whatsoever of reconciling with the Benton family, right?"

Nolan nodded. "If the investigation shows that Everett acted alone and his family is willing to hand him over, I won't insist on wiping them out."

This statement was as good as saying nothing.

Everett's importance to his family was second only to Shelby. He was the key to the family's fortune for the next several decades, ensuring their continued dominance. This reason alone meant that no one in his family would allow any harm to come to him.
