Chapter Index

    In the lobby of Amber Group, Steve looked at the old lady with sharp eyes.

    The old lady knelt in front of him, wearing a cross, like a very pious old citizen lady, harmless to humans and animals.

    But Steve remained unmoved, his voice still filled with murderous intent: “Old lady, tell me, how did you escape?”

    The old lady took a long breath and responded with a wry smile:

    “I really used a century-old treasury to get a chance to leave Boston Manor!”

    “As for why Scarlett and Dongfang Boy didn’t intercept me on the way, I really don’t know the reason!”

    “I was busy running for my life tonight and didn’t think deeply about this issue!”

    “But I really have no plans against you or the Amber Group. I sincerely come to seek refuge with you, and I also sincerely want to use your power to regain my position!”

    “I will also follow the promise at the door. As long as you help me regain my position and take revenge, I will give you half of the Boston family’s property!”

    “I can tell you that the Boston family’s treasury has a value that is unimaginable to ordinary people.”

    The old lady looked candid: “The wires in the vault are all made of gold!”

    Steve’s eyes jumped. Although he knew that the Boston family was rich, the old lady’s concrete description of the money still made him tremble.

    Even the wires are made of gold, and the floor of this vault is paved with diamonds.

    If such a fortune is swallowed up, it will not only make the Amber Group stronger, it may also make him famous in the Amber Group and his portrait will be hung in the Amber Pavilion.

    This also made him take two steps forward, and his attitude became much gentler:

    “Old lady, I feel your sincerity, but I still can’t figure out why they let you go!”

    If there was no explanation for some things, Steve felt like there would be a thorn in his heart. Even if Peacock confirmed that the Boston family had changed, it would still make him uncomfortable.

    Moreover, many years of blood and fire experience told him that it was definitely not luck that the old lady appeared in front of him.

    “Chairman, I really don’t know!”

    The old lady looked very helpless. She wanted to explain clearly to dispel the other party’s doubts, but she really couldn’t find the reason:

    “Maybe they felt compassion, maybe Scarlett was talking about that mother-daughter feeling!”

    “Maybe you think I’m an old woman with no strength, so it doesn’t matter if you let me go.”

    “I know you can’t believe it, because I have doubts myself, but I can swear to God, I really have no ill intentions towards you!”

    “In short, I have said what I need to say, I have explained what I need to explain, and I have promised what I need to promise!”

    “The rest is up to you, Chairman, to decide!”

    “Whether you are worried that I have a plan to kill me with a single shot, or whether you believe that I will make a big bet for the Amber Group, it is all up to you, the chairman, to decide.”

    The old lady slumped on the ground, holding the cross left by William to give herself some confidence: “I have finished my words, let the chairman weigh in.”

    Steve’s eyes kept looking at the old lady, as if he wanted to pry out something, but finally he smiled:

    “Old lady, congratulations on passing my test and trust!”

    “From this moment on, the Amber Group is your most powerful ally!”

    “I will not only protect your safety, but also provide you with help to fight back to the Boston family!”

    “The following is a crime and a conspiracy to usurp the throne. Scarlett and Stannie are not worthy of taking the throne!”

    “In the West, rebellious officials and traitors are not allowed to appear on the stage!”

    Steve took a few steps forward and helped the old lady up: “Old lady, get up, get up!”

    The old lady’s eyes shone with excitement: “Mr. Steve, do you really believe me? Are you really willing to help me fight back?”

    She hurriedly made signs with the cross twice, thanking God and William for getting better luck.

    Perhaps because she saw hope, the old lady felt that the cross was heated, full of energy and warmth.

    “Of course!”

    Steve laughed loudly: “Otherwise, how could I help you up? How could I promise you an alliance in public?”

    “But instead of sending troops to fight back now, we will go to the palace with me tomorrow morning to participate in negotiations!”

    “I will declare in front of everyone that I will only negotiate with you, the old lady, and I will unite all major forces to condemn Scarlett and Stannie!”

    Steve showed a cold expression: “I will force Scarlett and Stannie in public to return the position of head of the family to you!”

    “Thank you Mr. Steve!”

    There was hope in the old lady’s eyes, and then there was a hint of worry: “It’s just that Scarlett and the others may not give in easily. After all, they finally took the position…”

    Steve seemed to have anticipated the old lady’s worries, patted her hand and smiled:

    “If they are in an unfair position and refuse to return their power to you, they will face a crusade from us and other forces!”

    “The Rui royal family and Temu Cihua must also support us in taking down the rebellious Scarlett and Stannie.”

    “Otherwise, the foundations of major families will be shaken if we look at the precedent set by the following!”

    “Only by joining forces to suppress the nephew’s attempt to seize the throne, can everyone live in peace and stability, and other ambitious nephews will not dare to think about it!”

    Steve expressed his thoughts: “Those who do not hold the right position must be boycotted and suppressed by the entire West!”

    The old lady clenched the cross in her hand slightly: “What Mr. Steve said is true. They can take what we give them, and they can’t snatch what we don’t give.”

    “That’s right!”

    Steve also nodded, then patted the old lady’s other hand:

    “Old lady, please take a seat, have a glass of Bordeaux to calm down your shock, and then take a rest, and come into the palace with me later.”

    “Don’t worry, I will do my best to help you get back what you lost.”

    “Of course, you may have to suppress your hatred for the time being and don’t think about avenging William and the others on the spot. You may even have to promise to forget about it!”

    He reminded: “Let’s get the power back first, and then slowly take revenge on Scarlett and Stannie. Otherwise, if we push too hard, we will easily jump over the wall!”

    The old lady nodded: “Okay, I will obey Mr. Steve’s arrangements!”

    Although she was very unwilling, she was able to position herself correctly. After all, she was a loser and could only kneel down and beg for food.

    Steve was very satisfied with the old lady’s attitude, and then changed the topic: “Also, your promise to us…”

    The old lady took over the topic: “I promise you a thousand dollars, and I will never regret it. Besides, the Boston family is in decline, so I don’t dare to deceive you…”

    Steve smiled with satisfaction, but still added an insurance policy to himself:

    “That’s what I say, but these days, it’s better to put it in black and white!”

    He waved his hand and said, “Come here, draw up a contract and let me and the old lady form a blood alliance!”

    Barbara immediately went to make arrangements, and within ten minutes, three hot contracts were laid out, followed by several lawyers and notaries.

    The old lady put the cross back on, picked up the signature pen and signed it without even looking at the contract.

    She knew she had no bargaining leverage.

    Steve nodded proudly and was about to sign.

    At this time, Barbara’s cell phone buzzed and vibrated several times. She answered it for a moment and then leaned over.

    She looked at her master, who was still a few letters away, and said hesitantly: “Chairman, Peacock called again, asking us to leave the old lady alone!”

    Steve raised his head and looked at Barbara: “Just a chess piece, just do your own thing. Is it her turn to give me advice?”

    Barbara squeezed out a sentence: “She said that once the Amber Group gets involved, you and the Amber Group are likely to be in danger, because the Oriental Boy will strike first!”

    “And she can be sure that Dongfang boy has made plans for you!”

    “If you ignore the old lady, then you and the Amber Group will be fine. Once you get involved, especially the alliance, it may lead to death!”

    “Peacock also said that Dongfang boy already knew that the old lady was here, but he didn’t panic at all and looked confident!”

    “That means he has plans!”

    Barbara exhaled a long breath: “Peacock hopes you will think twice. After all, Dongfang boy is the most evil and terrifying person she has ever seen!”

    “Bang!”

    Steve was very angry when he heard this. He slapped the table and shouted, “Do you think I’m not evil or scary?”

    “I have been deeply rooted in the West for decades, and I am in charge of the Amber Group on the road to revitalization. My connections and energy are far superior to those from the East!”

    “Besides, I am a local coward and the Dongfang boy is an outsider. Why should I be afraid of him?”

    “A pretty boy who only knows the intrigues of village women and is an outsider scares me, the chairman of an international group. Do you think I will still be a gangster in the future?”

    “Don’t tell me that all the major families will treat me as a joke, even you will look down on me!”

    “Tell Peacock to position herself correctly. My suggestion is that she should stop making suggestions in the future!”

    Steve said loudly: “I signed this word!”

    After he finished speaking, he grabbed the pen and wrote the last two letters in a hurry…

    “Dip!”

    At this moment, Steve’s ears twitched slightly, as if he heard the sound of some metal twisting.

    He suddenly raised his head and looked at the cross on the old lady’s neck: “No -”

    Before he finished speaking, the cross flashed red and exploded with a bang!

    The whole place is in ruins!
