Chapter 375: Chapter 375: A Huge Uproar!
“White Mitchell, have you lost your mind? Even if you’re capable of fighting, can you withstand the twelve flying tigers of the military department!?” Sana Robert angrily rebuked White Mitchell.

She was devoted to helping him solve his problems, but he rudely accepted the challenge without a single word.

What he was doing now was akin to a lone man challenging the most elite force of the Martial Department.

Even the metaphor of a chicken trying to crack a rock couldn’t sufficiently describe this situation; it was tantamount to suicide.

The more Sana thought about it, the angrier she became – she was almost ready to turn her back on White Mitchell, this fool.

But at this moment, Jeremiah Weiden, standing opposite White Mitchell, sneered in response upon hearing her words, “Great! Remember, you agreed to this yourself!”

Upon hearing this, Sana became frantic, hastily protesting on White Mitchell’s behalf, “Agreed to what? He might agree, but the Robert Family doesn’t! If you dare touch him, the Robert Family will even lodge a complaint to the War Department, ensuring your Weiden Family’s fall from grace!”

“Complain against me!?”

Jeremiah Weiden was unfazed by her words. A cold smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth and he retorted matter-of-factly, “Miss Robert, just because I respect your Robert Family, doesn’t mean I fear you!

Even if your Robert Family has a good relationship with the War Department, you’re nothing more than businessmen, while we of the Martial Department have a more substantial relationship with them. Do you really think we would fear an outsider like you!?

If you know what’s good for you, scram. Otherwise, irritate me further and I’ll take you down as well. I’d like to see if your Robert Family can save you in time!”

“You!”

Sana Robert reddened with rage at Jeremiah Weiden’s defiant words, her entire body trembling uncontrollably.

This Jeremiah Weiden has really gone out of control!?

Sana was about to retort, glaring at Jeremiah Weiden, when she was stopped by White Mitchell.

“There’s no need. I appreciate the Robert Family’s sentiment, but there’s no need for you to intervene in what comes next,” White Mitchell calmly stated, his demeanor undisturbed from start to finish.

“White Mitchell, even you!?” Sana frowned instantly, but at this moment, she didn’t realize the far-reaching impact her well-intentioned actions would cause.

“Do as you please! I don’t care anymore!” Sana scolded in a huff, stomping her foot angrily. She crossed her arms over her chest and puffed out her cheeks, indicating she had no intention of interfering anymore.

White Mitchell remained calm, sparing Jeremiah Weiden a brief glance, “Prepare yourself. I hope you won’t disappoint me too much tomorrow.”

Leaving these words behind, he walked away nonchalantly, leaving behind an enraged Jeremiah Weiden.

Jeremiah Weiden, his face filled with cold fury, watched White Mitchell’s retreating figure and snarled, “Just one more day to live… I’ll see who’ll dare to protect you then!

Let’s go!”

As Jeremiah Weiden and his party left the neighborhood, the tension in the area eased momentarily.

However, the impact of this incident was far from over.

Soon, the news of White Mitchell challenging the Twelve Flying Tigers of the Military Department spread throughout Sayon like wildfire.

Discussions about this incident reached unprecedented levels of intensity.

The wealthy households who had suffered under White Mitchell couldn’t help but almost jump for joy when they heard the news.

“Dad, look, this is fantastic news! That bastard White Mitchell dares to challenge the twelve flying tigers of the Military Department! I can’t stop laughing… I really can’t!” Jacob Bright immediately relayed the news to his father, Archer Bright.

The Bright Family had been having a tough time.

They had originally been flourishing under the protection of Alan Austin, but Alan somehow managed to offend the people from the Nezzi Command and caused a huge mess.

The Bright Family had almost been completely destroyed in the aftermath.

But now, Jeremiah Weiden had returned to Sayon with a swift and decisive strategy, cutting off all of White Mitchell’s support.

The current White Mitchell was like a declawed and defanged tiger – absolutely helpless.

“Last time, that brat narrowly escaped due to the intervention of the Nezzi Command in the matter with Myles. Who would have thought that he’d have the audacity to challenge the twelve flying tigers of the Military Department? It’s absolutely ridiculous!” Archer Bright burst into joyous laughter. This was indeed the best news he had heard in a long time.

Seeing this, Jacob Bright couldn’t help but sarcastically remark, “Exactly, if it wasn’t for the Nezzi Command’s intervention last time, he would have died in the hands of Myles.

Some people are even discussing that White Mitchell has allies in the Nezzi Command.

What a joke! If he really had solid backing, would he be in such dire straits right now?

Those who say he has powerful allies are a complete bunch of idiots. They can’t even understand the evident situation. They deserve to be stuck without any prospects all their lives.”

Archer Bright laughed even more upon hearing this.

Those who said White Mitchell had powerful allies must be out of their minds. At most, he was just a bit luckier, that’s all.

If he really had powerful allies, would he be in his current predicament, having been cornered by the Weiden Family?

Even assuming he did have powerful allies, from observing the current situation, this time his allies won’t be able to save him.

Therefore, this time, White Mitchell will undoubtedly die at the hands of the Weiden Family. There’s no question about it!

With this in mind, Archer Bright reminded Jacob Bright, “Jacob, what happens next is crucial. Call off the engagement with the Jones Family and cut off all contact with them from now on.

Also, we need to contribute to the Weiden Family’s cause and try to win their favor.

If we could work for the Weiden Family in the future, it would definitely be beneficial to our rise!

Quickly have your subordinates prepare. We’ll go to the Weiden Family tomorrow to ‘mourn’ for their young master [Weiden].”

Mourn?

Jacob was momentarily stunned, and then instantly understood his father’s meaning and began to laugh.

…

Meanwhile, as the Bright Family received the news, the Jones Family got wind of White Mitchell’s challenge to the twelve flying tigers almost simultaneously.

When they heard rumors about White Mitchell having extraordinary backing, they burst into laughter.

“Who knows White Mitchell better than us Jones? Such nonsense about extraordinary backing. Bah! Do people actually think he handled the Myles situation by himself?

He escaped the situation by pure fluke! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be worth a dime. “Mori Jones derogatively laughed.

At this point, Old Madam Jones spoke up, “Alright, alright. Enough discussion about this. The challenge is a facade, the real goal is to kill him. Even if he can win, he can’t escape the Weiden Family’s gunfire.

He’s as good as dead now. There’s no point wasting time on him.

Our priority is to placate that stubborn girl, Sherry. Once our relatives from the Capital City arrive, we can take over the project in Nezzi effortlessly!”

Ding Dong!

Just as Old Madam Jones mentioned Sherry, there was a sudden urgent ringing of the doorbell.

Mori Jones, stepping out of the living room, glanced at the door and smirked meaningfully, saying in a teasing tone, “Speak of the devil, and the devil appears, hehehe…”
