“Hah, Edmund Cole, do you also want to get involved? I’m now the host of this exchange, and I have the right to chase the Hales and the Parkers out for causing trouble! Do you have a problem with that?” Lance looked at Edmund with a look of arrogance.

Edmund said disdainfully, “Lance Kingston, aren’t you embarrassed to say that?! You know best just how you managed to obtain the hosting rights. Who would believe your bullshit?

“Why did the Hales and the Parkers cause trouble at the exchange? Isn’t it because you provoked them first because of a personal feud?

“I just can’t stand seeing such things! If you have the guts, target the Coles too and chase us out together!”

After all, Edmund had been in the army for many years. And when it came to being domineering and acting rouge, there were very few people who could match him. He angered Lance as soon as he spoke.

Lance really wanted to fall out with the Coles right now. He had long abhorred Edmund. The other day at the Kingstons’, Edmund had helped the Hales and the Parkers declare war on the Kingstons, eventually forcing him to give in. He decided that he would sooner or later get even with Edmund!

But the exchange just began, and he had yet to even declare the main purpose of the exchange today. So it was indeed not suitable to start a conflict with the Coles now.

When Lance thought of this, a smile suddenly appeared on his originally gloomy face. “Mr. Cole, you’re already so old. There isn’t a need to get so upset, is there?

“I know you’re friends with Bruce Hale and Damon Parker, so you’d naturally want to speak up for them. But no matter what, the Kingstons are indeed hosting today’s exchange. Yet the Hales and the Parkers openly provoked the authority of the Kingstons. Why can’t I teach them a lesson and kick them out of the venue?

“Edmund Cole, you’d better not be too nosy. If your family hosts an event in the future and my family keeps ordering you around and telling you what to do, would you be happy?” Lance said with a threatening tone of voice.

“Hah, you can try it!” Edmund didn’t take it to heart in the slightest, and he said decisively, “I just said that if anyone dares to lay a finger on the Hales and the Parkers, they’d better not blame me for being unceremonious!”

Then he took out his phone and made a call. “Split up into two groups. One group will go to the Walton Hotel, and the other will go to the Kingstons’ manor and surround it. Don’t let anyone enter or leave!”

Lance’s expression changed drastically!

In order to gain firm control of the venue, the Kingstons had already deployed most of their personnel. In addition to the fifty elite experts in the venue, there were others spread around the vicinity of the Walton Hotel to prevent any unexpected situations.

But at the same time, the guards in the Kingstons’ main residence were unprecedentedly empty because Lance simply didn’t think that anyone would have the courage to attack the Kingstons’ home at this juncture!

But Edmund didn’t act according to Lance’s expectations!

As someone who had dealt closely with Edmund for most of his life, Lance was very clear about Edmund’s personality and knew that he had never been afraid to kill because of the numerous years he had spent on the battlefield a long time ago. He was definitely able to do what he said he would!

If he really wanted to do something to the rest of the Kingstons, there was no way he could stop it!

Just as Lance’s expression changed drastically, another voice sounded. “You can start moving. Make sure to surround the Kingston residence within ten minutes and then act on my orders!”

This time, it was Damon who ordered the person on the other end of his phone.

He actually ordered his subordinates to surround the Kingston residence again!

Everyone was astounded!

Edmund could order his people to surround the Kingston residence because the Coles were a large family in San Francisco and could quickly gather manpower.

But Damon’s family was a family from LA, yet he could also get people to surround the Kingston residence within ten minutes?

LA was quite a long drive from San Francisco.

Damon definitely couldn’t have made this decision on the spur of the moment. This could only mean one thing—Damon had long anticipated that the Kingstons would deliberately target the Parkers at today’s exchange. Thus, he made arrangements in advance so that all the Parkers’ manpower had arrived in San Francisco and were ready to act at any time!

His ability to predict in advance left many in awe.

“Relay my orders. Everyone, get to the entrance of Walton Hotel within ten minutes and wait for my instructions!” Another domineering voice sounded.

This time, it was Bruce!

In an instant, the three big shots had issued orders one after another and openly went against Lance, thus sparking an uproar.

It was no longer a declaration of war but a preparation to start the war at any moment!

Lance’s face was extremely gloomy.

He really wanted to blow things up by suppressing the Hales, the Parkers, and the rest before getting rid of them as well as Lucas.

But he had never expected that these families had already prepared and secretly arranged their people to head to San Francisco!

If the Kingston residence and the Walton Hotel were surrounded by the people of these three families, the Kingstons’ previous arrangements would have no chance of winning. Besides, the Kingstons in the main residence would probably become hostages to be used against him!

For a moment, Lance felt that the current situation was beyond his control, so he had no choice but to look to Vince for help. He wanted to use the power of the Smiths to help him deal with the current situation.

But Vince remained sitting calmly in his seat, without even glancing at Lance, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

“Mr. Smith, you…” Lance panicked and bent over to Vince’s side to beg him again.

At this moment, an extremely loud and majestic voice filled the air in the venue. “Do you people not take the Walkers seriously anymore?”

Herman, the head of the Walkers, stood up with a cold and arrogant look on his face.

Everyone was shocked!
