When they were faced with Donald’s sudden question, Zeke smiled faintly before he said, "Mr. Webb, it is true that the three of us have already pledged our loyalty to someone else. Therefore, it would be very difficult for u s to pledge our allegiance to the Webb family instead. We hope that you will understand our difficulties and forgive us..."
Graham touched his nose slightly before he said, "Mr. White's intentions are my intentions too." 1
Donald looked at Albert before he asked, "What about you, Don Albert?"
Albert smiled before he said, "I am just a nobody amongst the upper class, simply a mobster boss. However, the thing that I pay utmost attention to is the word 'loyalty'. The person that I have pledged my allegiance and loyalty to is treating me very well, thus, I will not turn my back on him and depend on someone else instead." 3
Donald could not help but frown at this time. He did not expect the three of them to have such a determined attitude. 1
He really could not understand why the three of them would pledge such allegiance and loyalty to the Moore family. Donald could not help but wonder what kind o f benefits the Moore family had given them to make them so loyal toward them. 6
When Cain heard what the three of them had just said, he stood up immediately. Then, he pointed his finger a t them before he cursed, "Don't the three of you know how to give Mr. Webb any face at all? Do you even know anything about the Webb family? Do you know how many people are lining up to become dogs and slaves for the Webb family? You should consider yourselves lucky that Mr. Webb even acknowledged you! How dare you refuse and turn down his request?!” s
Donald reached out his hand to stop Cain from questioning them at this time. After that, he said lightly, "Everyone has their own plans and aspirations. I will not force anyone to comply with my requests." 1
After that, Donald continued speaking, "However, even if you are not going to pledge your allegiance and loyalty to the Webb family, would it be okay for you to offer to help me?"
Albert replied lightly, "Mr. Webb, of course. As long as the matter you are asking for does not violate my principles, I will naturally offer my help to you."
Donald nodded as he said, "There are two main reasons for my visit to Aurous Hill this time. First of all, the Webb family has recently encountered some problems, and I am certain that every one of you here i s well aware of it." 4
No one replied to Donald's question, but the awkward and embarrassed expression on their faces said it all.
Donald knew that the matter relating to his second son was very detrimental to the reputation and dignity of the Webb family. The Webb family had also become a laughingstock in the hearts of countless people because of this incident. However, it was because of this humiliation that he could not help but feel even more eager and determined to catch the culprit who had done this to his son. 1
