Chapter 905
Shane was furious, wanting nothing more than to kill Scarborough and Jeff.
At this point, with things having escalated to such a degree, it seemed to him that the father and son duo were still
acting recklessly, completely disregarding the consequences.
“This is no longer a matter of infighting or not!”
Jeff said with a cold gaze, emphasizing each word, “I have already lost two sons. Bernard is now lying in a hospital
bed with fractured bones, and my other son was killed in the hotel! Now I only have one son left, and if anyone
dares to harm him, I will fight them to the death!”
Following his words, all the experts from his faction appeared and stood behind him and Scarborough.
In an instant, a standoff between two forces was formed.
Both groups exuded a menacing aura, filled with an overwhelming desire to kill.
Every single one of them emanated a terrifying murderous intent, their eyes fierce and cold as they stared at their
adversaries.
In the face of this, Shane’s gaze grew darker and darker.
Although he was the chief of the Bemard family, the family’s power did not rest solely in his hands.
The combined strength of the experts from Scarborough’s side was sufficient to rival the forces he had cultivated,
making it impossible for either side to overpower the other.
If they truly wanted to determine a winner, it would require paying the price of bloodshed.
However, in the event of a bloody conflict where both sides suffered heavy losses, it would ultimately benefit other
families.
Therefore, all along, he had always secretly weakened the opposing faction’s power.
However, it was futile because the formidable individuals from the other lineage remained strong. In other words,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttheir influence had never waned.
This was also the reason why Scarborough dared to be domineering and reckless!
“Shane, you’re timid and weak. You stand by and watch as your members are bullied and assassinated, yet you
dare not lift a finger against the enemy!”
With the backing of his father and faction, Scarborough gained confidence, raising his head high, his gaze icy and
resolute as he declared, word by word, “It is because of a chief like you that the Bernard family has been unable to
become the rulers of Blubridge City! I now request the board of directors to strip you of your position as chief! It is
time for you to step
down!
His tone was incredibly cold and domineering, brimming with unquestionable authority.
“Step down!”
“Step down!”
“Step down!”
Following his words, many people at the scene began to speak out, glaring at the chief, urging him to step down.
Jeff’s gaze turned frigid, his silence speaking volumes through his piercing eyes.
Seeing this, Shane finally understood.
Scarborough did not come here to plead guilty, nor to apologize to him, but to seize power!
It was ironic how Scarborough had feigned fear, preserving his image by refraining from retaliating even after
being struck. Unbeknownst to others, he had harbored ulterior motives all along.
With the revelation sinking in, the chief’s gaze grew colder. “If you wish for me to step down, that is not a problem.
Once the board of directors has the majority vote, I will willingly relinquish my position. So, do you have enough
votes?”
When he became the chief, it was because he had outmaneuvered Scarborough’s father, securing the position and
wielding
power.
After all these years of building his influence within the board of directors, Scarborough and his cronies were simply
unable to shake his position.
Therefore, even when faced with the pressure of Scarborough and the others, he was fearless.
Jeff smiled coldly and said, ‘Shane, do you think we came unprepared? Take a good look at your phone. We have a
surprise for you.
Frowning, the chief took out his phone and glanced at it, instantly his expression turned cold, and he glared at Jeff
and Scarborough with fury in his eyes.
His eyes were practically spewing fire!
Jeff had sent him a picture through the communication device.
The picture showed his wife, children, and grandchildren all tied up and suspended from a pillar.
Meanwhile, a group of fully armed soldiers were pointing guns at them.
Observing his reaction, Jeff’s smile turned faint, saying, “Shane, we are members of the same family, after all. You
know, I won’t stoop to fratricide. The Bernard family under your leadership has lost its ferocity, becoming timid and
overly cautious. And this is all due to your cowardly character! A great family doesn’t need rationality and timidity;
it requires the aggressive nature of a wild wolf. The family has been continuously bullied and trampled upon, yet
you, as the chief, have swallowed your pride and even expected us to apologize to those people. It’s absolutely
shameless! What a disgrace! Therefore, we seriously question your ability to manage. Now, while there’s still a
chance to salvage the situation, you better step down and hand over the position as the chief to me. Otherwise,
don’t blame me for being unkind to you!” Although he smiled, each word was forceful, resonating in the ears of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeveryone present.
Shane clenched his phone, glaring fiercely at the man, his crimson eyes blazing with fury.
However, his loved ones were held captive by Scarborough’s men, rendering him utterly powerless.
“You bastard, what did you say?”
“Jeff, you bastard! How dare you speak to our chief in such a language? Are you courting death?”
“You want to seize power? Do you have enough votes?”
“An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. We’ll convene the board of directors immediately to discuss expelling
Jeff and Scarborough from the family!”
Before the chief could speak, the people behind him erupted in anger, expressing their desire to expel Jeff and
Scarborough from the family.
Faced with their accusations, Jeff sneered in silence, wearing a smug expression.
Scarborough’s face turned even colder, enunciating each word, “Gentlemen, before you accuse my father and me,
you’d better take a look at your phones first and then decide on your course of action.
Immediately after he finished speaking, the phones of the elders who had accused Scarborough and his father
began vibrating.
They swiftly retrieved their phones, and their expressions underwent a dramatic change.
The content they received was similar to what Shane had received: their families were all being held hostage by
armed warriors, in imminent danger.
At this moment, all of them looked up at Jeff and Scarborough, their gazes serious and filled with shock.
The ability to quietly capture their loved ones was certainly not something Jeff and Scarborough should possess.
“What devil have you made a pact with?”
Shane’s face turned murky like water as he glared angrily at Jeff and Scarborough, “Have you lost your minds? By
doing this, you will drag the entire family into an abyss!”
Jeff sneered, “I don’t care about the family. All I know is that I will avenge my son. So, are you stepping down or
not?”
