Samuel sneered. Since Reuben didn’t hold back, he saw no need to be courteous either. “Yeah, we don’t have any dealings or partnerships. Never had, never will, because you’re beneath us.”
John snapped, “Yeah, so what if we came? To hell if you can do anything to us, so shut the f*ck up.”
“What did you say?” The insult infuriated Reuben, fury flaring in his eyes. Did you trespass into my manor just to insult me? Do you want to die?
“What? Wanna fight?” John and Samuel stood up, beckoning Rueben. “Come. Show me how powerful you actually are.”
Leah stood up and glared at them. “Don’t push your luck. This is Capitalis, not some backwater town you can play with as you please.” I don’t care if they bring Irieson down, but this is Capitalis. They don’t get to talk to me like that. Who do they think they are?
“So what if it’s Capitalis?” John looked at Leah. “Honestly, Leah, I can’t imagine someone as shameless as you existing in this world. What did your father and mother do to make you… into this? Did your daddy poke your mommy when she was pregnant with you? Knocked your head with his stick and ruined your sense of shame?”
John was supposed to be the leader of his family, and yet he was talking like a common thug.
Samuel shot Reuben a glare. Not going to let his friend steal the show, he barked, “Yeah, who the f*ck do you think you are? I don’t remember telling you to speak. Open your mouth again and I’ll snap your neck.”
He then pointed at Reuben. “Alright, I’ll shoot straight. We came to take Olivia away. Give her to us if you know what’s good for you. If you refuse, then we’ll fight for it.”
“Do you really think I won’t kill you, Samuel? One more insult, and I’ll make sure you never leave this place alive.” Reuben clenched his fists. He was a respected man. Everyone revered him, but now some Irieson outsiders were insulting him right in his home. It was a given he would not stand for it.
“Wanna fight? Fine, then let’s see if you can take both of us.” Samuel was unafraid. He rolled his sleeves up, getting ready to fight.
John shared the sentiment. Before they even came to this place, they’d made up their mind to fight their way through if the Flynns refused to let Olivia go. They didn’t care even if the Flynns were one of the most powerful families in this city. They were not scared.
Reuben took a step ahead. A lot of the Flynns’ core members heard the commotion, and they charged into the living room, getting ready for a melee.
Leah and her family stood behind Reuben, glaring at John and Samuel.
Theodore looked at them. “You’re not the only one with numbers.” He whipped out his phone and made a call. “Get in here and fight.”
A cacophony of footsteps thundered through the living room as Quincy’s friends and students came in.
A fight was imminent.
Reuben’s face twitched. Who the hell is Thomas? I can’t believe Quincy is good friends with him, and he came out of retirement just for that guy. That guy has enough supporters to topple a lot of people, and now Irieson’s top dogs are here on Thomas’ behalf too? Are they seriously going to take us down?
John asked coldly, “Last chance, Reuben. Are you going to hand her over?”
“My foot! We choose violence!”
“Very well. A battle it is.”
Right before things went out of control, someone boomed, “Halt!”
Everyone looked in the direction of the shout. A strong, elderly man and a lad came in.
“Mr. Travis!”
This man was none other than the Travis Family’s leader—Kyrie Travis.
The Travis Family was a bit like the Elliotts, but unlike them, the Elliotts lived a humble life. They spent most of their time dealing with business and medicine. The Travises, however, were different. They were a family of great healers and powerful fighters. No one in Capitalis would disrespect them.
Kyrie sat down and looked at the tense scene. “Honestly, there’s no need to fight. Are you guys going to start a bloody battle?”
“Mr. Travis, they’re the bullies here! Madam Wilkerson has decided to marry her granddaughter to my son, but these people came all the way here to take her away. I refused, and they decided to fight. I can’t believe this. This is our family matter, and it’s none of their business. You have to help me. They’re stepping out of line.”
“Bullsh*t! She hasn’t even agreed to marry into your family. From what we know, she’s still unconscious. She doesn’t even know she’s taken here.”
“Her grandmother married her to my son. It’s her duty to follow that arrangement through, so she’s my daughter-in-law now.”
Samuel was furious. “That h*g calls herself Olivia’s grandmother? Hey, bozo, why don’t you ask her if she’s done anything to her since she was born? That girl doesn’t even see the witch as her grandma.
All of a sudden, she comes back and claims to be her doting grandmother because she wants to buddy up with you guys. What a load of bullcrap. She has no right to decide Olivia’s life. How low can she go?”
John said, “That’s right. Hey, Leah, you have another granddaughter, don’t you? Someone you raised yourself. So why didn’t you let her marry this brat? Why’d you rope Olivia in instead? Please, do you really think we don’t know why? You’re trying to push Olivia around because her grandfather, that’s your ex by the way, in case you forgot, died early.”
“I…” Leah was red, having no idea how to rebut. John was right. She didn’t marry her other granddaughter off because she was a talented martial artist. If she were to marry her off to the Flynns, it would weaken the Wilkersons.
Leah needed to find a way out, so she turned to Kyrie. “Mr. Travis, I made the right decision marrying my granddaughter to the Flynns. Everyone knows that Gunnar is the Genius of Capitalis. She’ll live a happy life married to him. I’m not hurting her. I did nothing wrong, but these men are trying to bully a poor old dame into submission.”
