Soon, news spread like wildfire in Channing.
According to the news, the Smith Family, particularly Nathan, had crossed the Snyder Family from Brimmopolis. They had angered the head of the Snyder Family, Gideon, who had gathered more than eight hundred followers to seek revenge from them.
When the Smith Family caught wind of it, they panicked.
Sean could not help but complain to Nathan, "This is your fault. You shouldn't have crossed Mr. Snyder. Now, the Snyder Family is coming to settle their scores with us. What do we do now?”
Nathan calmly replied, "Don't worry. We'll ignore it if it's just Gideon rambling about us. However, if he really comes for us, I'll make he and his family pay the price."
Sean shook his head. Nathan is too young and inexperienced.
The Snyder Family has been in
Brimmopolis for many years, and they're well-connected with both the military and the political world.
Although Nathan and Penny's Cross Group is doing well, it's incomparable to the Snyder Family. You can't win a gunfight with just their money.
Sean was left with no other choices, so turned to the city officials in Channing for help.
However, after hearing his woes. They just smiled and replied, "Don't worry. You'll be fine."
What they meant was that Your grandsonin-law is the General of the North and the God of War. Don't worry even if the Snyder Family is after you.
However, that was not what Sean thought.
He thought that the Snyder Family had gone to meet with the city officials in Channing, and they were now taking the side of the Snyders instead of the Smiths.
In the end, Sean and his gang dragged themselves home as they were worn out and in despair.
When they returned, Sean, Samuel, and Paul were about to have their meal when a servant abruptly stumbled his way in urgently.
With a trembling voice, he said, "Sir, bad news!"
Sean was shocked. "What's going on?"
The servant fearfully said, "T-There are many people outside, and they're all armed. They've surrounded the house!"
Sean's voice broke. "What? Who are they?"
The servant continued, "I think they're from the Snyder Family. They said they're here to settle the scores with the Smiths. They've even asked for Nathan to get out to meet his death."
