Meanwhile, in the Jantz family residence, Zachariah was sitting on the couch with a warm towel over
his head.
The impact of losing his daughter gave him a really severe headache.
Wilbur walked up to him and said, “Anthony is back, Dad!”
“Did he bring our guy with him?” Zachariah asked with his eyes still closed.
Wilbur shook his head. “No, he didn’t.”
“Since the Department of Justice is useless, we’ll do it ourselves. Jared is still in Horington, right?”
“No, he’s not.”
“What?” Zachariah’s eyes shot wide open instantly. He then tossed the towel aside as he continued,
“He escaped? Did Anthony let him go on purpose? I won’t forgive him if he did!”
“Jared isn’t in Horington, but he hasn’t left the country. He probably returned to Summerbank. Lizbeth
wasn’t with Anthony when he returned, so I’m guessing she snuck him into Summerbank to protect him
from us,” Wilbur replied after giving it some thought.
“Hmph! An eye for an eye, a life for a life! No one can stop me from killing Jared, especially a small fry
like Anthony! Wilbur, I want you to have our men capture Lizbeth and interrogate her for Jared’s
whereabouts!” Zachariah shouted angrily.
“I’ll make the arrangements right away!” Wilbur turned around and prepared to leave after saying that.“Wait! How are things with the Whitaker family’s businesses? Has anyone made a move yet?”
Zachariah called out to him all of a sudden.
“Not yet, but there are plenty of other families that are itching to act upon it. Most of the Whitaker
family’s business partners have ceased collaborations with them. In addition to that, a huge number of
senior executives in the company are also starting to panic. It would seem that they are looking for a
way out,” Wilbur replied with a worried look on his face.
The entire family business would surely perish if there was no one left in the family to keep it going.
novelbin“Put the word out that we will take over all of the Whitaker family’s businesses and keep everything the
way it is. This should at least stop them from freaking out,” Zachariah said with a sigh.
Although the Jantz family was a formidable one, they were a martial arts family and had little
experience when it came to managing businesses. Even so, Zachariah had no choice but to take up
the responsibility.
Wilbur nodded. “Understood!”
Zachariah sat back down on the couch and motioned at Wilbur to leave.
The Jantz family’s butler came into the room shortly after Wilbur left. He hesitated for a bit when he
saw that Zachariah was resting, and eventually decided not to disturb him.
As the butler was about to leave, Zachariah called out to him from behind, “What is it, Leonardo?”
Zachariah could tell who it was that came in even with his eyes closed.
“Master Venicus of the Crescent Sect is here, Mr. Jantz,” Leonardo replied respectfully.“What? Hurry up and invite him in! No, actually, I’ll go greet him in person! Help me get changed!
Hurry!” Zachariah leaped to his feet in a state of panic.
The butler quickly helped Zachariah get dressed and followed behind him as the two of them made
their way out of the room.
A sage-like old man could be seen standing quietly outside the Jantz family mansion.
“I am terribly sorry that my servants kept you waiting out here, Master Venicus! I’ll be sure to punish
them severely for this!” Zachariah said respectfully as he ran up to Venicus.
“You’re being too harsh on your servants, Old Mr. Jantz! They did nothing wrong, so there is no need to
punish them,” Venicus replied with an enigmatic smile.
