Chapter 82: Either Cripple Me or Obey

"This person is indeed Joseph!" "But why did we have to cross paths with him? I don't get it!" "Oh my God, we're in big trouble now!" Suddenly, Medrigez spoke up. "Remember, we must never speak of this. If Joseph finds out we revealed his business, he will definitely come after us." "Yes, you don't need to remind me of that." "Our families are all in the same place now. If we aren't tight-lipped, the consequences for us will be severe." "Let's go back and discuss this with our families." After the three families split up, Medrigez immediately called his family together. Upon seeing Medrigez, they all began to shout angrily. "Why are you handing over our company to someone else?" "Don't you know your place?" "Our company was built from the ground up by us!" "I've always suspected you had bad intentions. Why are you sabotaging our company?" "Exactly, I suspect you have ill will towards our company!" "Even though you're part of our family, I think you're not a good person at all!" But Medrigez had no intention of arguing with them. He calmly stared at them and then said, "I'm not here to discuss anything. I'm here to inform you. From now on, our company will be under the control of the business center." Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. "We just spent a hundred billion to buy this business center, and now we're their subordinates?" "We paid to sell ourselves out!" "What do you mean by this?" "Exactly! What benefits does this bring to our family?" No one could respond. "Medrigez, speak up!" After hearing their questions, Medrigez calmly looked at them and said, "As the head of our family, don't you understand my intentions?" "I'm also trying to improve our family!" "But right now, I have no other choice." "I want to, but I can't!" Medrigez took a deep breath and continued, "The controller of the business center is incredibly powerful. We can't fight against them. But becoming their subordinates doesn't mean we've lost everything. We can leverage their resources and influence to provide our family with broader development opportunities. This is both a challenge and an opportunity." Everyone exchanged glances in silence. Medrigez's gaze was firm as he looked at them. "I know this is hard to accept, but we have to face reality. If we unite and work together, I believe our family's future will be even more glorious." Everyone knew what kind of person Medrigez was. He would never joke about something like this. If he said it, then it meant the situation was very serious. "If you don't agree with me, then you have two choices." "One, you listen to me and become part of the business center. You can do good work there." "Two, you don't want to be with me, don't listen to me, think I'm a bad person, then you can kill me, place all the blame on me, and... wait to die." They never expected him to present these two options! It showed how dangerous the situation really was! At this moment, a young family member stood up. "Head of the family, I trust your decision. We should adapt to the new environment and seek opportunities for growth." Others also began to express their agreement. A slight smile of relief appeared on Medrigez's face. "Good! In that case, let's face this new challenge together!" The same situation was happening not just in their family. The Hank family and Tom Cruise's family were experiencing the same. Because they had already agreed not to speak of offending Joseph, they couldn't reveal anything, even if they wanted to ask. If they spoke, it would mean trouble with the Hell organization, and the people from Hell would act against them. So, for the sake of their lives and the lives of those in Hell, they couldn't say anything. For all their family members, obeying their words was the only way to continue living. If they didn't listen, their chances of survival would be extremely slim. That night, none of the members of the three families could sleep. At the same time, Joseph's mind was filled with thoughts of his sister. When they were young, his sister always liked to follow him around. Joseph didn't consider her as something precious back then. But now, thinking back. Those were the happiest moments of Joseph's life. Before going to bed, Joseph calmly looked at himself in the mirror. "Sister, I promise you." "Brother will definitely avenge you." Joseph's eyes were firm, as if he had made a major decision. He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. In his dream, he saw his sister's smiling face and heard her clear laughter. She told him that she always believed he could avenge her. The next morning, when Joseph woke up, he felt a surge of strength within him. He knew he had to work harder and improve his abilities to fulfill his promise to his sister. At the same time, in New York. The people of the Kerry family were in shock. "What is going on?" "My God, I can't believe it. All the people I sent are dead?" "Are you joking? Those people were the president's men!" "How could such capable people die? And just like that? I can't believe it!" "It must be because you didn't handle it properly! It's all your fault!" Kerry was already on the verge of losing his temper. He kept ordering his subordinates to act. "If you can't find out who killed my men properly, then you have no reason to live either!" They would never think that it was Joseph who killed them. They only thought that someone powerful was behind Joseph. They wouldn't believe it was all orchestrated by Joseph. After all, to them. Joseph was just an ordinary person.
