Half an hour later, on the top floor of Emerald Tower.
It was Henry Quincy’s first time joining Jacob’s planning meeting as his subordinate, so he was walking
on eggshells.
“Say your orders, Boss. I’ve already compiled all the data on the Mondez family; we can attack at any
time.”
The Scarlet Dragons were angered at the fact that the Mondez family had dared to move against Jacob
Lynch. Since Jerry had done all the research about them, they were prepared to annihilate the
Mondezs as soon as Jacob gave an order.
“Hmm…” Jacob hummed but did not say a word.
Henry Quincy was impatient with Jacob’s quietness. Since joining Jacob, he had come to understand
more about the power of the Scarlet Dragons, but he also knew that it would only bring them more
trouble if they were to resolve the problem with violence.
Henry had grown up in Paramount and had come in contact with some of the power horses in town.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFrom there, he had learned of some of their secrets.
The Mondezs were not a very wealthy family, but if they were to destroy this family, he feared that the
people supporting the family wouldn’t just stand by and watch. Just as a person had to mind the owner
of the dog they wanted to hit, they too had to mind the bigger power behind the Mondezs!
“Boss.”
“Yeah?” Jacob raised his eyes slightly to give Henry a look.
“I don’t think you should be so rash.”
Henry deeply inhaled to give himself more courage and continued, “The Mondez family is the Ruler of
Paramount and also the face of the Governor. If we used Thunder Clap to annihilate the whole family,
the Governor wouldn’t be happy. They would put the Scarlet Dragons as enemies with Paramount, and
it would be too dangerous.”
“Oi! I brought you here to make plans with my boss, not to destroy the plans!” Jerry could not sit still
after listening to what Henry said.
Jacob was humiliated as all the Scarlet Dragons had been preparing for this big fight.
“Continue.” He gave Henry a deep look and nodded his head slightly.
“Whoo…” It was as though the chilliness around Jacob dispersed with that one look, and it gave Henry
more nerve. His brain began to turn faster.
“Boss, the head of the Mondez family, Albert Mondez, had just become the state office director of
Paramount. He’s not in a stable position at all. If we create a rift between him and the Governor, who
knows, that might work even better for us.”
“Alright, let’s do that.”
“Boss, surely not me again?”
Jacob gave Jerry a stern look, and he immediately lowered his eyes and ran out to do his job.
As for how he was going to do the job, it wasn’t something Jacob was worried about; all he wanted was
results.
“I thought I had introduced a clever person to Boss, but in the end, it only brought me more trouble.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJerry grumbled as he left The Pavillion.
“Boss, one more thing. The only reason the Mondez family was able to get the Governor’s
acknowledgement was because they gave him ninety percent of their property! In other words, they
only look strong from the outside.”
“Yeah, let’s think about it. Willow…”
“Yes…” Willow Milgrim, who was standing by the side, let out a quiet sigh. She finally knew how Jerry
felt just now.
They had thought that they had found a subordinate, but instead he turned out to be their superior.
Just two sentences from Henry brought the two of them such troubles.
“Got it. I’ll go make the necessary arrangements.”
Henry finally let down his heavy heart after seeing Jacob willing to accept his ideas. He had always had
this image of Jacob being a reckless foul who only talked with violence, but from his actions today,
Henry could see that Jacob was different from what he had thought.
