Chapter 173 Plot within a Plot
Inside the Bell family's mansion, Yves was watering the garden, accompanied by an elderly man in a gray suit, Butler Harold.
Yves liked to take care of these flowers and plants when he had nothing else to do, and he seemed to be in a good mood. However, his good mood was soon disrupted.
A person stumbled in from outside, panic written all over their face.
"Something's not right."
"Explain yourself clearly." Yves put down the watering can, his expression icy.
"Finn, he ran away again." The person gasped for breath and reported, it was Mario, the leader who had previously captured Finn.
"What? Finn ran away again? He still owes me fifty million dollars. What a bunch of useless people! I trusted you with my precious belongings, but you still couldn't catch him. What should I do to you?" Yves angrily walked up to Mario and slapped him hard, knocking him to the ground with great force.
Mario didn't dare to resist. He cried, his face contorted in pain, and struggled to get up from the ground to continue speaking.
"We had already found Finn's hiding place. But unexpectedly, two people attacked us and saved Finn."
"Two people rescued Finn?" Yves frowned. Who would rescue Finn in his current state? Aren't they afraid of offending him?
"What do these two people look like?" Yves asked loudly.
"These two people are the ones who caused a scene at the CH Real Estate meeting room last time." Mario knew William and Sharon. It seems this person was also involved in the fight at CH Real Estate.
"You mean, William and his cousin?" Yves furrowed his brow in surprise and suspicion.
"Yes, it's them," Mario confirmed with a nod.
Yves' expression turned ugly. These two people just won't go away, they keep opposing him. He still hasn't settled the score with them from last time, and now they've stolen his things.
"This William thinks he can get away with it because Antony is backing him up. He really thinks I'm afraid of him."
Yves had a cold expression. He must teach William a lesson this time, even if Antony is supporting him, he still needs to discipline William.
He paced back and forth in the mansion and soon came up with an idea.
"What about that dog? If it has come into contact with people and objects, it can remember the smell. If it's with us, it will easily lead us to William."
"It was kicked to death by that woman," Mario trembled as he spoke.
That big dog was Yves' beloved pet, and it was kicked to death by Sharon, completely infuriating him.
"What? my dog is also dead? I spent so much money on you, and you losers can't even protect a dog." Yves kicked Mario to the ground, and it took him several attempts before he could finally get up.
"Without it, it will be very difficult to find William. What a bunch of useless people." Yves coldly glared at Mario again, and Mario trembled all over, scared to say anything.
Harold, who had been quietly listening, suddenly spoke up.
"If we want to find William, it's not that difficult. We can even scheme and lure him into a trap."
"Harold, do you have a plan?" Yves became interested when he heard that Harold had a way to lure William out. He trusted Harold and knew he was wise. Since he spoke up, there must be a way to frame William.
"Finn is now desperate, and no one is there to help him. William has no personal connection with him, so why would he risk offending us again to rescue him?" Harold analyzed wisely.
"Yeah, why?" Yves pondered.
"From what I know, when Finn was desperate and had nowhere to turn, he was trying to sell 5% of the Garcia Group shares at a low price to find someone to rescue him. But everyone was afraid of offending us."
" Some even provided us with clues to take credit for themselves. Now, if William were to come out and save him, would it be because of that 5% stake in the company?"
Harold's voice was calm, but he hit the key point with one sentence.
Upon hearing this, Yves's eyes lit up, impressed as he said, "You're impressive, hitting the nail on the head. It seems that William's rescue of Finn is most likely because of the shares in his hands."
"Yes, furthermore, according to our source, William has been with Kayla all these days. This illegitimate daughter has been trying to acquire shares, so we can be certain that William's rescue of Finn is solely due to his low-priced shares," Harold explained concisely, making the whole situation clear.
Upon hearing this, Mario, who had been on edge, seemed to realize something and couldn't help but interject, "Oh, I remember something. There was a sexy beauty who got out of their car that day, and your dog chased after her. When William went to save her, he called her Kayla. It seems likely that they came to rescue him for Finn's shares, as Harold said."
"You're somewhat clever!" Yves coldly glanced at him, then turned to Harold and asked eagerly, "Harold, now that we know why William saved Finn, how should we deal with him?"
This was what Yves couldn't wait to know. William had repeatedly opposed him, and it was time to settle the score.
"It's simple. We can lure him out with shares from the Garcia Group. I know a shareholder of the Garcia Group who owns 10% of the shares. I can ask him to invite William, and when he comes, we can ambush him. Once we capture him, we can use him as leverage to negotiate with Antony," Harold paused briefly before continuing, "Then, not only can we reclaim CH Real Estate, but we can also gain some of the Power Group's other assets."
"This plan is brilliant! However, we need to target Kayla to go after this shareholder. The daughter of the Garcia family won't suspect and will surely fall for it," Yves, not a fool, quickly grasped the brilliance of this plan.
"Yes, Kayla is single-mindedly after the Garcia Group's shares. Luring her with a low price will definitely make her fall into the trap. And she won't dare to go alone, so she'll bring William and that female bodyguard with her. That's how our plan will unfold," Harold continued, his eyes twinkling with intelligence.
"Good, we'll leave this matter to you, Harold. We'll send our entire team when the time comes."
"Let's see how he escapes from my grasp now." Yves had a wicked look on his face.
Without any hostages with William this time, they could seek revenge to their heart's content.
Over the next two days, with nothing else to do, William spent his time practicing boxing and running at CH Real Estate. The weight training greatly improved his physical strength.
To better train himself, William even set up a training room specifically for boxing at CH Real Estate.
He even invited several professional black boxers to spar with him. Baca, who had just recovered from his injuries, stood by his side, sometimes giving William pointers on combat techniques.
Baca had been a high-level black boxer for eight years, so he naturally had rich combat experience. With his guidance, William's practical experience quickly grew. This way, William could improve his combat capabilities faster!
On this day, when William, drenched in sweat from training, sat down to rest, Kayla came running in, extremely excited, shouting to William.
"William, William, I have good news!"
"What good news?" William wiped his face with a towel and turned to look at Kayla, who had just rushed in.
"The Garcia Group has a shareholder named Ruben. He holds 10% of the Garcia Group's shares. He just called me and said he's having difficulty with his finances and wants to sell his shares at a low price. He asked if I wanted to buy." Kayla said excitedly to William.
"10% of the shares. How much is he asking?" William asked with great interest.
"One million dollars. He's only asking for one million dollars for 10% of the shares." This price was already unusually low, so Kayla was this excited upon hearing it.
"A stake worth 800 million dollars for only one million dollars? Is he unable to find a buyer? Or is he in a desperate situation like Finn? What is the matter behind it?" William couldn't believe that Ruben would sell at such a low price unless there were conditions attached, like with Finn.
"He seems to have had irreconcilable conflicts with my dad. Plus, he's facing financial difficulties and wants to invest and develop in other cities. That's why he wants to get rid of his shares as soon as possible. He contacted several people, and I'm just one of them. So if you want to buy his shares, it's best to act fast." Kayla answered anxiously.
"I see! Then let's give it a try! Where did he ask to meet you?" William didn't want to miss this opportunity. Even though one million dollars seemed a bit high to him, buying 10% of the Garcia Group's shares at a low price would still be very worthwhile.
"The KY Hotel in the North district."
Kayla subconsciously replied, "KY Hotel??" William suddenly frowned. Why would Ruben choose to discuss stock transfers in the North district? He couldn't help but ask, "Where does Ruben live?"
"I heard he lives in the South district," Kayla thought for a moment and said.
"He lives in the South district but arranged to meet you in the North district for talks. Ruben must be really free," William furrowed his brow. The distance between the two districts is 50 kilometers, which would take over an hour by car. Instead of choosing a closer location, Ruben chose the farthest North district to discuss cooperation.
William felt that something was off.
"What's wrong, William? Is there something suspicious?" Kayla couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's just that I find it strange that Ruben has so much free time. Instead of choosing a nearby place, he specifically chose the farthest location from him to discuss cooperation," William shared his doubts.
"Now that you mentioned it, I also feel that something is off. Should we still go see him?" Kayla expressed her concerns.
"Of course we should go! But the North district has been unsettled recently, so we should be cautious," William told Kayla to agree to Ruben's invitation while he called Baca, who trained with him.
"Baca, have the guys from the Black Fist Arena spread out and keep an eye on the KY Hotel in the North district. Consider it on me for food and entertainment. I'll let you know if there's any trouble," William decided it was best to be prepared, just in case. After all, he had made enemies in the North district. With the guys from the Black Fist Arena present, he had nothing to worry.
"Understood, Mr. Brown. I'll go make the arrangements!" Baca said and headed downstairs with a few of his brothers from the training room.
Baca was the strongest among the black fist fighters now, especially with William's deliberate support, making him the leader among them. It was most appropriate for him to inform the black fist fighters.
