Chapter 71 Turning the Tables:

Ryan was taken aback by Jessica’s assertive response. He turned to Justin, ‘Mr. Justin, are you sure the person who attacked you was really sent by TMO?”

After pondering for a moment, Justin affirmed, “If that idiot wasn’t from TMO, then why did he demand I move out immediately and pay ten billion in compensation to TMO?”

“He could also be someone from another state, seeking revenge without revealing his identity. He might’ve known about your dispute with TMO and pretended to be from TMO to escalate the conflict between you and them. As for his actual motives, I think none of us know for sure. The Matthews are New York’s premier family, and Martial Club United represents all of New York’s clubs. If Martial Club United were to clash with The Matthews, it would benefit others. While Martial Club United certainly values martial power, it doesn’t mean we’re a group of muscle–brained idiots. We don’t wish to be used by others.

Ryan’s theory seemed credible, and most of the crowd nodded in agreement.

“Chairman Rose is right; we can’t be exploited.”

“Since Mr. Justin was beaten by a moron, then we need to replace that moron first!”

“Once we replace that moron, we’ll know for sure whether they’re connected to TMO or not. If they refuse to

tell the truth, we’ll make them!”

The crowd started to discuss amongst themselves, and the previously unfavorable situation

began to turn around fundamentally. But Justin suddenly felt something was off.

a

*Jessica, you are known as the business queen of New York. You sure know how to negotiate, and I think. you’re not telling the truth. You might fool everyone else, but not me! That moron was definitely sent by

you!”

“Justin, you had better not accuse someone of lying without evidence. You say that person was sent by me; where’s your evidence? Do you have any witnesses?!”

Justin pointed towards Brittany, “She is the evidence! She is your secretary, Brittany, and she was the one who accompanied that man to Black Panther Club! If he wasn’t from TMO, then why would she be with him? Jessica, you better not test my patience. Hand over that moron now, or you won’t like what we do

next!”

“And what exactly would you do?”

“If you won’t turn him over to us willingly, then we’ll have to search TMO ourselves! If we can’t replace him. here, we’ll search all The Matthews‘ properties! We will replace that idiot you sent, even if we have to tear

down this building and every Matthews villa!”

“Justin, you better watch your mouth. Do you have any idea what you’re saying?! I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: that person wasn’t sent by me, I don’t know who he is. I warn you, if you act irrationally, you will know what regret means. Do you want a life–or–death situation? Let me be clear to everyone here, as

the CEO of TMO, this dispute between TMO and Black Panther Club is purely personal and has been

ongoing for three years. If you insist on getting involved, then you are declaring yourselves enemies of The Matthews! We have always respected all clubs, but if you insist on waging war against The Matthews, we will respond, and you will lose! The USA is not limited to New York alone, and with The Matthews”

financial resources, I am confident we can replace someone more powerful than you.”
