"This ...... This ......"

Martin Summers finally came back to his senses, his bearded thick face flushed, as if he couldn't get off the stage, and his original fierce momentum gradually disappeared.

The previous attempt to show his strength was nothing more than a farce like a clown.

Damn Anthony! He'd never mentioned it before!

The shipping tycoon of Star City cursed fiercely in his heart.

In fact, it is not to blame Martin Summers for his ridiculous ignorance, the White family, as the oldest wealthy family in Star City, has always maintained a humble and low-key style of doing things.

Except for the occasional charity fundraiser or the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the city government, you can see the active figure of the family members, such as financial news, newspaper headlines, etc., they rarely appear.

Residents living in Star City know that the Quinn Consortium, which has been developing vigorously in recent years, and the Merlin Group, which is dedicated to the biomedical field.

They are the backbone of the city's economy, and they are helmed by big names who stand at the top of the pyramid of power.

However, few people will notice the White family, although the lion badge is respected, but its influence and penetration in Star City is more hidden.

It involves not securities and banks, but factories, ports, shipping ships, urban construction, pipeline transportation, and so on.

This towering tree, which is rooted in the bottom of the city and thrives, does not focus on the determination to forge ahead in the capital market, or rarely participates in the financial game.

From the very first generation of the White family, they have been committed to the development of industry, from the time their ancestors bought the first sawmill and mined the first gold mines.

So it's no surprise that Martin Summers doesn't know anything about this behemoth.

But if the shipping tycoon is willing to dig deeper and do a little more homework, he will find that the White family has a huge foundation enough to shock anyone.

"Mr. Summers, I hope you will understand that I have not come to see you tonight because I have any expectations of your so-called 'cooperation...... The White family doesn't work with gangsters, just as you don't do business with a street thug. ”

Leo leaned on his cane, and the chandelier on the ceiling of the warehouse cast a glow, making his figure even more erect.

"Actually, I think you owe the Wright family an apology, which is the real reason why I was willing to ride here late at night."

Martin-Summers had a look of worry in his eyes, followed by a wave of irritation.

Leo's direct words were more like a silent humiliation, like a resounding slap in his face.

Since making his fortune and securing his position as a shipping tycoon, Summers has gained more or less respect and respect no matter what the occasion he finds himself in.

This is the first time that I have been ridiculed and hit so mercilessly!

He wanted to beat the young man in front of him, put him in a sack, pour it into a concrete pillar and throw it into the bottom of the river.

But the reality is that Martin-Summers can only endure in silence, even with a flattering smile and pretending not to hear anything.

Shipping tycoon, gang leader......

In the end, it's just a small role that doesn't enter the stream.

"I was fascinated by Mr. Anthony White before! By God's name, and with the lives of my family, I would never have advised Anthony White to do such a horrible act! ”

Martin-Summers was courteous, and it was clear that Leo was not like his uncle, who could easily be deceived in a few words.

When I first found Anthony White, it was just a fluke mentality of gambling bets.

If that stupid guy can really control the White family, he will take advantage of the situation to hug this thigh and seek more benefits.

If it fails, then nothing has happened.

Unfortunately, Leo White, the young helmsman of the family, doesn't seem to want to make an understatement.

"Yes, you can see the situation clearly, and you are not a third-rate gangster who only knows how to fight and kill."

Leo nodded approvingly.

He had been mentally prepared for Martin Summers to become angry and then lose his mind and resort to the low-level trick of threatening force.

But now it seems that the shipping tycoon of Star City is not as stupid as he thought.

At least he knew very well that the kind of threats and intimidation that were effective against ordinary people would only look ridiculous in his eyes.

The two sides are not on an equal footing, and violence is always the most brainless way to solve everything.

A gang leader who is far from being able to withstand the wrath and revenge of the White family.

"In fact, I understand that my uncle has more private dealings with the triads than with you...... So I believe in you. Let's talk about business. ”

Leo propped his hands on his cane, and now he had the full control of the conversation.

Martin Summers, who is arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, seems to have changed as if he is a different person, and he has become submissive.

The corners of Leo's mouth turned up, as if he was quite satisfied.

He took the lead in throwing out the strength of the White family, and then used the assassination incident as an excuse to make a posture of asking for guilt, picked it up high and then put it down gently.

This combination punch down almost pinched Martin Summers completely.

Presumably, the shipping tycoon of Star City, his mood is also like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs.

"First of all, the White family has no interest in illegal business, but I may need some power to drive......"

Leo's voice paused for a moment, softened a little, and continued, "So it's a private ...... Trade. IMHO, the word cooperation you brought up earlier is too inappropriate. ”

Martin Summers's face twitched, and at this moment, the trace of contempt for Leo due to his youth completely disappeared in his heart.

Where is this a young man who has just finished his studies, and the speech and demeanor revealed from the other party are no different from those capital predators with old methods.

There is a natural majesty of the superior between the words, and he rarely shows his emotions, and maintains a peaceful attitude that is neither deliberately wooed nor arrogant and estranged......

All of this made Martin Summers feel palpitations from the bottom of his heart, and made him work harder to restrain his usual arrogance.

"Naturally, I am not qualified to cooperate with the White family, and the words that I didn't know the height of the sky before made you laugh."

Martin Summers smirked, a good gesture of humility in the face of being low.

"You don't have to be that, Mr. Summers. Anyway, you are also a figure with a head and a face in Star City. ”

Leo didn't care if Martin-Summers's humility was hiding other ambitions or goals.

He paced around a few times and said softly, "As far as I know, the gangs in Star City are roughly divided into two forces, one is a triad of outsiders, with a large number of people, engaged in illegal smuggling and human trafficking; The second is the local mafia, led by Frank Potinall, which in recent years has tended to legalize business and opt more for construction contracting and port trade, while the latter is petty in collecting protection money and acting as thugs. ”

"As for you, for the time being, you are somewhere in between, there is a legal industry but there is no protective umbrella, the local mafia is unwilling to accept you, and those powerful and powerful people are difficult for you to reach."

Leo's gaze swept over him, and his tone was light, and his relaxed expression was not like talking about the frightening gangsters, but about the occasional anecdote about the schoolyard.

Martin Summers had a smile on his face, but his mood was mixed.

The young helmsman of the White family seems to have come prepared, or the purpose is not simple.

Leo's understanding of the Star City Gangsters is really beyond Summers's imagination.

If you hadn't looked at the large number of files collected by the police department, it would be difficult to make such an accurate summary.

"What do you want me to do, Mr. White?"

Martin Summers asked, sighing.

He no longer tried to figure out Leo's thoughts, and then tried to add a little more bargaining chips to himself.

From the start, the conversation was unequal.

Martin Summers thought he couldn't do anything but agree to everything the other party wanted, and he gradually lost even the qualifications and courage to refuse.

"As you know, the White family has kept a low profile since its early days...... But I think it might change a little bit. ”

Leo raised his hand and pressed it on Martin Summers' shoulder, a slight smile on his lips.

"I wish I could make a more complete set of rules for the city, and the first step is to start with the gangs."

A shuddering sensation surged from the bottom of his heart, Martin Summers's whole body seemed to be a galvanic current, and his hanging arms involuntarily trembled slightly.

He looked up at Leo, the young helmman's eyes unwavering, not showing the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"I'll introduce you to a few White family friends to give you more status in the city, like Frank Potinall, who is the leader of the local mafia."

Leo's words were like a shot in the arm, and Martin Summers' eyes were slightly red.

Frank Potinall?

This underworld tycoon in Star City, taking off his violent and criminal coat, is a real estate tycoon who can attend the dinner party at the city hall!

The construction company under his command has taken over 50% of the development projects for the renovation of the old area of Star City!

"That'...... So what do I have to give? ”

Martin Summers' voice trembled, and he didn't realize that he was completely brought into the rhythm by Leo.

"Neither loyalty nor wealth."

The young helmsman looked at the other party with a slight downward meaning by virtue of his height advantage, and said in a low voice: "I need a vanguard army to ensure that Star City is given a big reshuffle." ”

"For a month, to drive the Triad out of Star City, there will always be someone who will have to pay some price for my father's death, right? Uncle Anthony paid for his mistakes, and the Triad was no exception. ”
