“What are we waiting for?” Phil asked subconsciously. Then, he immediately thought of something. He asked in a surprised and expectant tone, “Is the old master coming?”
Of course, the old master he was referring to was Old Master Law.
After Phil said that, Howard also looked over.
Obviously, even though this matter was very intractable, as long as Old Master Law came out to say a few words, there wouldn’t be any major repercussions.
Zachary waved his hand and said, “I talked to my father before I came here. He said he doesn’t want to get involved in this.”
Phil started laughing in anger when he heard this. However, since he was fearful of the Laws, he could not show his dissatisfaction.
After he thought about it, Phil said sullenly, “The three kids burnt Empire Meet and we can excuse that, but they almost set Fabian on fire. There were two bodyguards severely injured and six lightly injured. Also, Fabian suffered a concussion, so I don’t think they’ll get away with this.”
“It’s like they’re stepping on the Atticus family’s crest as they slapped them across the face. Is the old master not going to intervene in such a huge matter?”
“The old master has his own factors to consider.”
Zachary looked at Phil with a warning gaze. Then, he continued calmly, “Think about it. If the old master shows up to handle this, wouldn’t that signal that the Atticus family can instantly raise their demands?”
Phil’s expression froze and he could not utter a single word.
“It’ll be good to let them suffer a little,” Zachary said with a dark face.
“Those brats are getting more and more courageous. How dare they commit murder and arson? How are we going to control them if we don’t teach them a lesson?”
Morrie laughed and said, “They’re pretty brave. At least they’re better than cowards who don’t dare to do anything. Besides, Mr. Law, they only committed arson, not murder.”
Zachary peered at Morrie and said bluntly, “You’re so old, yet you also want to fool around with them?”
Morrie shrugged and said indifferently, “The Bransons got to this point because we dabble in illegal business. Big families like the Atticus family never have any respect for us. What’s done is done, so what else can they do?”
“I can get some assassins for hire from Southeast Terra and then I’ll use all of my family assets to kill off half of the Atticus family. After that, I’ll run away without a care in the world. What can they do to me then?”
Phil chuckled bitterly and said, “You’re all very powerful people.”
“However, Mr. Law, since we’re not waiting for the old master, what are we waiting for?”
Zachary replied faintly, “That rascal caused all of this behind our backs and he still wants to live comfortably? No way! I’ve asked him to come over here and clean up this mess.”
Phil and Morrie exchanged a glance. They had simultaneously captured some key information from Zachary’s statement.
First, it was Zachary’s tone.
His tone when he said ‘rascal’ was similar to when an elder would affectionately refer to their juniors. Not everyone was qualified to be addressed by Zachary in that way.
Secondly, ‘caused all of this behind our backs’.
Did someone ask Zachary and the gang to do this?
Such a thought was simply too outrageous in Phil’s mind.
He knew Henry very well. He was not afraid of anything, and he was truly a fiend in human form.
Who had the power to tell him what to do?
