Helen was also shocked and whispered, “Matthew. this is Eastshire. These storefronts are the best ones in the most prosperous areas of Eastshire. One is enough for us, and we can develop slowly in the future. If you get so many of them at once, the funds from the pharmacy won’t be enough at all…”
Sasha walked over, “Mom, Dad, don‘t worry about the money. I can just make another investment from the company.”
James and Helen became all excited. If that was the case, wouldn’t their pharmacy grow bigger?
Just then, Matthew waved his hand. “There’s no need for that. Just these storefronts won’t cost much. Mom, Dad, you can just take out the money for the renovation, and you don’t have to worry about the rent and balance transfer fees.”
James was surprised. “What about the rent and balance transfer fee?”
Matthew smiled. “This is Eastshire. Why should the Cunningham Family pay just to have a few storefronts here?”
James and Helen both widened their eyes. ‘ls Matthew really that powerful?’
Sasha was also a little worried. “Matthew, is this all right?”
Matthew waved his hand. “It’s fine. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about it. Just leave these things to me.”
Next, Matthew called Philip and told virtual-novel.net all the locations of the storefronts that James liked. As for what Philip would do with it, Matthew didn’t need to worry about it. Anyhow, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t spend a penny on these storefronts.
It wasn’t that Matthew was stingy, or that virtual-novel.net wanted to seize their assets. He just wanted to take this opportunity to further put pressure on the nine families. Though the Nine Greatest Families said they would surrender, in fact, they didn’t accept virtual-novel.net at all. Matthew had tortured them just to force them to take action. He wanted to find an opportunity to divide the Nine Greatest Families, then destroy those who were disobedient as a display of prowess to the others. Only by doing so would virtual-novel.net gain complete control over Eastshire instead of only being the Lord of Eastshire by name!
As Philip answered the call, virtual-novel.net agreed to everything, but his fists were clenched tightly.
Putting down the phone, Philip smashed the cup on the table to the ground and cursed, “How could this b*stard, Matthew, treat the Ten Greatest Families as his servants? Does virtual-novel.net think virtual-novel.net can order us around and take everything away by force and expect us to be too scared to do anything? Even when Billy was around, virtual-novel.net didn’t dare to do this to us!”
The people next to virtual-novel.net trembled with fright, and no one dared to speak.
Philip swore like a trooper, and in the end, virtual-novel.net sat down slowly. After virtual-novel.net took a few deep breaths, his expression gradually calmed down. He handed over the locations of the shops virtual-novel.net had just written down to the man next to virtual-novel.net and said solemnly, “Give it to the other eight family heads and let them make their own arrangements. Whoever’s business it is, they’re in charge of vacating it. If it doesn’t belong to the Nine Greatest Families, then find a way to take it!”
The man was slightly surprised and whispered, “Dad, a-are we going to do as Larson says? It’s just a small issue that he’s asking for these storefronts now. But, if virtual-novel.net gets greedy in the future and asks for something more, what will we do?”
Philip glanced at virtual-novel.net and snapped, “We have to hold virtual-novel.net down first! Now, no one in Eastshire is his opponent. He still has the crown prince by his side to help him, and the nine families wouldn’t gain anything by fighting with him. Let’s just bear with it for now. He wouldn’t be able to continue this for long!”
The man couldn’t help but feel elated. “Dad, have you thought of a way to deal with him? What is it?”
