Female Novel
Chapter 280 Scheme
Just as the sun rose early in the morning the next day, the Quinn's house was covered in white, the
mourning color.
Everyone was in mourning mood, sad about what happened.
Even when the sun came out, nobody in the Quinn family could feel the warmth.
The Quinn family changed drastically.
Morrison carried Old Master Quinn's body home, and it was like a bomb that exploded in their house.
Nobody in the house slept that night.
Everyone was crying and screaming in pane the whole night.
Three days ago, Old Master Quinn just celebrated his birthday.
Who would have known that three days later, he would be lying in the coffin, his body cold as ice.
Their lives collapsed in just three days.
Nobody in the Quinn family thought that their family, towering over everything, would suffer such
shocking news.
At the same time that the Quinn house was covered in white, the cries echoing at the walls, X City was
like a rising wind and scudding clouds.
Each one of the rich families in the city were using the whole night and deployed their powers at dawn,
to grow fast.
Their swords pointed at the Quinn family.
The walls only fell if a group of people worked together on pushing it.
They had the name of the richest family in the city, their resources were huge, in some areas they were
even a dominant monopoly.
It was a goal that made other rich families jealous by just seeing them.
But now, only three days of work, the Quinn family was in great danger, and X City would change.
Old Master Quinn even had to commit suicide with a long sword to protect his family.
If this wasn't the perfect time to act, what were they waiting for?
Of course, just as those rich ones were preparing and growing, they noticed with surprise, that the
Zhuge family had already pointed their knife at the Quinn's businesses.
At the same time as all the other ones were laid out, the Zhuge family acted fast like the light, and
started their harvest fight.
This made all the other rich families startled and clench their fist in despair and sighed.
They could only blame them for not acting as fast.
In the Zhuge family, the white haired old man didn't sleep all night, but he didn't look tired at all, instead,
his face was blushed, and he had a smile hanging on his lips.
"Grandpa, all the preparations have started, this time, all the rich ones in X City will be so surprised that
they won't be able to close their mouths." Jim laughed.
The white haired old man laughed and said, "If this is fate or doomed, our family has lived cautiously in
X City for so many years, we never showed our true powers, all those people thought we were weak,
but they had no idea how strong and ambitious our family is."
"I just never wanted to show it, but if I ever did, it was surprising to others!"
"You are right, Grandpa, the Zhuge family is of long standing, all we need is a chance, and now that
Jack appeared, it will be our chance and grand ambitions to win the name of richest family in X City!"
Jim laughed and added, "One day it will rise in the wind and rise to ninety thousand miles, now those
people will have nothing else to do but to watch us!"
"Hahaha, Jim, contact Mr. Hughes immediately, I will have a big dinner party tonight, we will invite Mr.
Hughes, and show the hospitality as hosts."novelbin
The old man smiled and gestured as he commanded.
Mr. Hughes?!
Jim's pupils narrowed, he had never heard his grandfather speak about someone so respectfully.
Even though the Zhuge family had been in hibernation all these years and didn't draw attention like the
Quinn's, they were still a rich family, and had profound foundations and were through and through
confident.
As the head of Zhuge family, Jim's grandfather barely ever called other's with a respectful name.
And this time it was a person of only a little more than 20 years of age.
"Grandpa, I will arrange it now." Jim said and left.
In the Soosen Villa.
The sun was shining, the spring breeze blowing.
Early in the morning, Jack was sitting quietly in the balcony, all of Soosen Villa in his eyes.
He could see some of the sunrise at the horizon, it looked as if it was colored in blood.
He rubbed his nose, and smiled, "Today's X City won't be quiet anymore."
He already showed mercy to the Quinn's, but the news that Morrison carried his father's corpse at
home in the night will make the whole city explode.
Even though the Quinn family wasn't ruined, they won't be able to stand against the coveting and
embezzling of the rich families.
But, he already cooperated with the Zhuge family before, so X City won't be storming for too long.
Suddenly there was a knocking on the door.
"Come in." Jack said.
Yael, Brent, and Amelia came in.
"Jack, X City changed, all of the rich families are acting now, but Zhuge family at the front." Yael smiled
as he said.
Brent's face was very calm.
But Amelia, who was listening to Yael describe it, suddenly changed her expression, she looked at
Yael, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
"Yeah, when the Quinn's have brought the contract for their stocks and everything is signed, this will be
all over, and we will head back home." Jack nodded.
"There is something I don't understand, why would you give the Zhuge family something for free?" Yael
was a little confused.
They only met one time and without even discussing much, they agreed on a cooperation.
Which helped the Zhuge family to be the richest in X City.
The point was that Jack gave them this position for free, without even asking for anything back.
"I learned something in Black Hell."
Jack smiled and looked at Brent, "Brent, you came out from Black Hell as well, you understand the law
of the jungle, right?"
Brent's eyes flashed, he suddenly understood.
Then he said laughing, "The law of the jungle is that the strongest will eat the weakest, but if they
couldn't manage to control Area No.1 and be their head leader, the aggressiveness would only result in
a kill."
Jack looked at Yael with deep eyes, "Do you get it now?"
If he hadn't had the help of Brown and the other's help, and with himself not being afraid of death,
challenging life, he might have ended up like Brent just described.
He could tell from the time he defeated Boombear.
"So you are allowing Zhuge family to be the richest in X City to shield you, so that you have way to
attack the Quinn's?" Yael suddenly got it.
Jack laughed, not expressing his opinion.
If it wasn't for lowering their effects on his revenge, why would he give the Zhuge family anything for
free?
With his abilities now, with the name of Hughes, he could pressure Old Master Quinn till death, but he
couldn't be too aggressive.
Jack understood that the harder he was, the easier he was to break.
Within this territory were numerous families just like the Quinns.
The only reason he could use the Hughes in this situation, was because of his mother's death
saddening his father so much, that he didn't care about anything else than to suppress Madame
Hughes.
If he was being too aggressive, he couldn't be sure if he could still use the Hughes in the future.
In that moment, there was another knock on the door.
"Young Master, the Quinns are here." Tom said outside.
They came!
Jack stood up slowly, and looked at everyone, "Let's get going, we will head home as soon as this is
done."
Yael was about to follow, when Amelia grabbed his arm.
"Yael, what we are doing here, aren't we betraying our own family? Aren't we unfilial?"
Yael paused, then he patted her head lovingly, and smiled softly, "Dummie, I am here, even if we are,
nothing will happen to you."
