Chapter 613 Assassin Organization?
Ryder and Damon went quiet for a moment.
Just as Ryder was trying to figure out how to explain things to Sarah, Damon started laughing.
"Sarah, you actually bought what Uncle Ryder and I said? Hahaha, you're too adorable!"
Sarah blinked. "What are you talking about?"
Damon pulled out his phone and handed it to her. "Check this out, Sarah. It's the novel I've been working on! I watched a movie earlier and it inspired me to write a suspenseful business thriller. I even showed it to Uncle Ryder."
"Really? So you guys were just messing with me?" Sarah looked at the text on the phone, still a bit skeptical.
Damon nodded. "Yep. These kinds of novels are super popular online right now! Even construction workers with just a basic education are writing bestsellers. So, naturally, a genius like me, with all this great material, is going to do even better. I need to make some good money and save up! This is my outline!"
"But why are there names like Ryder and Tyler in it?"
Damon grinned. "Don't you think Uncle Ryder's name sounds like a main character's?"
Sarah was almost convinced.
But she turned her gaze back to Ryder. "So, you two were just talking about the novel's plot?"
Ryder nodded.
Sarah was a bit annoyed. "Ryder, how can you be so childish? I thought, I thought you..."
"Thought what?" Ryder asked, curious.
"Immature!" Sarah snorted and headed downstairs.
Leaving Ryder and Damon exchanging glances.
Ryder gave Damon a thumbs-up. "This stays between us, okay? Let's keep it from Sarah for now."
Damon pouted. "What you just said is obvious! Until my future wife comes along, we have to keep Sarah safe!"
"Cut down on those explicit scenes! Let's go downstairs; dinner should be ready."
At the dinner table.
Sarah took a few bites, then said she was full and went upstairs, leaving an uneasy Ryder.
Ever since Sarah came to Aurora City, because of the Barbara incident, she hadn't been eating or sleeping well.
Her already slim figure had become even thinner!
Of course, the curves that should be there were still very noticeable!
Barbara's issue needed to be resolved, but first, they had to deal with the Young family!
After dinner.
Ryder asked the logistics company manager for a week off.
The manager told Ryder he didn't need to come to work tomorrow.
However, Ryder also requested time off for Rex.
After some consideration, the manager approved a week's leave for both of them.
After all, Rex's daily delivery volume was five times that of a regular courier, effectively doing the work of five!
In the following days.
Ryder mainly stayed in the chairman's office at Maple Group headquarters, overseeing everything.
He focused on the launch of the GoldenEagle app and the movements of the Young family's Treasure Hunt app.
It was undeniable that the Young Group's Treasure Hunt app had been revitalized by a round of financing from the Jones family in the Capital City.
But the problems that emerged were also evident—The financing from the Jones family in the Capital City was far from sufficient.
Originally, the Young family thought that by aligning with the Jones family, other business magnates, especially those profit-driven financial institutions, would come to curry favor with them.
As of now, Tyler had visited all these financial institutions, only to be politely refused further financing.
As for the reason?
The biggest financial institution giant in Aurora City was Trevor, the president of Aurora City Commercial Investment Bank.
After finding out that the Young family had teamed up with the Jones family from the Capital City, Trevor didn't try to cozy up to them. Instead, he formed a bunch of strategic partnerships with Maple Group.
It was obvious Trevor had thrown his lot in with Maple Group.
This put the financial institutions in a tough spot.
On one hand, they risked ticking off the Young family; on the other, they risked ticking off Trevor.
Suck up to the Young family?
Even if the Jones family from the Capital City was powerful, could they really go after these small fry?
However, they'd probably get squashed by Trevor first!
But if they suck up to Maple Group and make Trevor happy?
What if the Jones family really cared about the Young family and came after them?
It'd be a lose-lose situation!
So, in the end, the financial bigwigs in Aurora City decided to stay out of it.
The Young family got this.
Especially Constantine, who was so mad his lips got sores. "These small fry are really short-sighted! The Jones family is so powerful they could crush them with a finger! And yet these people are so arrogant!"
Tyler nodded. "Exactly! But Dad, we actually have a trump card. Even if we don't rely on the Capital City, we..."
Seeing Constantine's murderous glare, Tyler shut up immediately.
Tyler really didn't get what was so great about the Jones family from the Capital City that made Constantine so eager to please them.
Their Young family was the most powerful, right?
And they had the biggest trump card, the international assassin organization, Talon Assassins!
Why not rely on Talon Assassins? Why go out of their way to suck up to a big family from the Capital City?
Now that things had come to this point, they still had to rely on the power of Talon Assassins!
"You ungrateful brat!" Constantine got up and kicked Tyler.
He kept yelling, "A trump card? That's from abroad! What, do you want to be a puppet of that organization for the rest of your life? And then help them wreck our country's economic ecosystem?"
"Tyler, let me tell you, it's all about using each other! When our Young family truly prospers, that's when we'll break free from them! Remember, we can be despicable, but we must not lose our last shred of humanity! Remember, 'When the nest is overturned, no egg is left intact!'"
"Yes, I understand!" Tyler nodded, clutching his stomach.
But inside, he disagreed. What last shred of humanity? It was all fake!
Living a carefree and comfortable life was the best!
"Get out!" Constantine waved him off.
"Alright, Dad, you take your time." Tyler left the study.
As he opened the door and stepped out, he saw Barbara not far from the door.
He quickly pulled her downstairs.
"What were you doing in my dad's study? Did you hear anything?" Tyler asked sternly.
Barbara widened her eyes. "No, actually, I was looking for Sandra. She said she was going to clean Uncle Constantine's study and hadn't come out, so I went up to check! I just happened to see you coming out of the study! Didn't you see Sandra in there?"
Tyler nervously swallowed. "You mean Sandra has been in Constantine's study all this time? How long has she been in there?"
He had only been in the study for about ten minutes and he had seen no one else.
Barbara frowned. "She went in half an hour ago! Could she have gone somewhere else? Is there another exit from the study?"
