Chapter 699
When Leslie met up with Sebastian, he noticed that the passing of time had been kind to him, and he still looked young and sturdy. He had a smattering of scars from either gun or knife wounds, each one serving as a badge of honor that proved that he was the top dog in Alnewgo's underground society.
Sebastian was sitting with his legs spread far apart as he listened intently to Leslie's request. After Leslie was done speaking, Sebastian nodded and asked, "I heard that this Jack Holland character is quite skilled at playing the power game. He even calls himself the leader of the Narthorn district."
Next to him, one of Sebastian's sharp-eyed lackeys nodded in the affirmative. Leslie rushed to further stoke the flames. "His actions are a clear challenge of your authority! You have to snip his ridiculous behavior at the bud before it gets a chance to grow any further."
Sebastian asked, "What about his history?"
Leslie explained, "He's currently a university student, but he's also the founder of a game company. There's nothing significant about his background. His hometown is Perther City, and both his parents are farmers!"
"Is that so?" Sebastian asked, interest piqued.
It appeared that Jack was the perfect target for blackmail. He deserved to be respected for being able to find success through his own hard work, but it also meant that he had no background support to speak of. Entrepreneurs who were born in insignificant families were often the easiest targets, a fact that rang true whether it be in the business world or in the underbelly of society.
Sebastian had been doing business in Alnewgo for a long time. He was deeply aware that people like Jack were the easiest to be blackmailed. Being wealthy was far from enough to protect one's assets. Power and violence were the most important factors to keep one's belongings safe.
He had seen and also led too many wealthy people who didn't have a good background to their demise. Those who wielded authority, power, and violence only had to flick their finger to cause a billion-dollar fortune to disappear in the blink of an eye.
Sebastian himself had forced a few billionaires to topple into the abyss. It wasn't that he was ruthless for no good reason. He had to look out for his underlings, and he also had to keep his salacious night business running. Both of these required him to have an endless supply of money.
A wealthy man who wielded no authority was Sebastian's ideal target. He had only made it this far in life because he was ruthless in his methods, and he had an astounding number of subordinates. It was also why he was bestowed with the title of "King of Alnewgo". For a thug who clawed his way to the top from the lowest rung of society, there was no need for concepts such as morality and humanity.
Seeing that Sebastian's interest had been piqued, Leslie hurried to seal the deal. "Mr. Franco, I'll send all his details to you shortly, and I promise to be very discreet about it."
Sebastian nodded in approval. "Very good! When you're free, let's have a meal together with your parents."
The Cline family's assets were valued at over billions of dollars. Their company had been operating in Alnewgo for many years, so they had a considerable influence over both the political and business worlds. Naturally, Sebastian was more than willing to nurture a relationship with such a wealthy family that had both authority and power.
The Cline family also welcomed the opportunity to establish a relationship with an individual such as Sebastian. He wielded a power that differed from theirs that would be very useful when they were faced with challenging problems. There was also another reason as to why Sebastian and the Cline family were on good terms.
Leslie nodded his head vigorously in agreement. "Sure! Then I'll leave the rest to you, Mr. Franco."
He couldn't wait to see Jack be beaten to a pulp by Sebastian while his girlfriend was assaulted. He was also looking forward to the scene of Jack's assets that were worth billions to disappear into nothingness. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ FіndNovel.net
Meanwhile in Narthorn district, Megastar Entertainment Club.
The club used to be Julian's stronghold once upon a time, but it had been transformed into Caspian's business. That night, Megastar operated as usual. Caspian led a group of lackeys to patrol around the club. After realizing that everything was operating as it should, he ducked into the gym to work out.
The club reached its business peak at around 9:00 pm. A group of men and women who were dressed trendily entered the club and booked two rooms. A few moments later, a group of men that looked like they were up to no good stormed into the club.
