Chapter 285 Who Else Is an Enemy?
Rosewood City has many license plates, and many impressive numbers, but only one is the most special and can only be used by one person.
That person is Brandon.
Brandon, who has been in Rosewood City for decades, not only has absolute authority over Rosewood City but also has a significant influence on the entire Celestia.
Of course, if he hadn't grown tired of the conflicts, he would have already been making waves in Stardust City. Even so, he managed to get Matthew into the top circles.
Therefore, even though he rarely intervenes in affairs, he is still an unavoidable figure in Rosewood City.
So when this car appeared, it immediately silenced the entire scene.
The car door opened, and Scott and David stepped out first, dressed in suits, looking both appropriate and noble.
Next, Brandon, also in a suit, stepped out.
He had a kind smile, but it gave off a sense of pressure, and his every move exuded authority.
James led the crowd to greet them, his face beaming with smiles, "Hello, Mr. Brandon Miller, Mr. David Miller, Mr. Scott Miller."
"James, congratulations on your grand opening." Brandon laughed heartily as he stepped forward and hugged James, "Sorry, there was traffic on the way, so I'm late."
Scott and David quickly handed the fruit basket and cash gift to Samuel.
Although the gifts were insignificant, the names of the Miller brothers on them were the greatest support and deterrence.
The few official troublemaking groups Lucy had called instantly disappeared without a trace.
"Mr. Brandon Miller, you're too kind. Whenever you come, I will always welcome you." James smiled as he stepped forward to greet Brandon and his sons,"Thank you."
"Why be so formal between us?" Brandon, without his usual authority, directly treated James as a friend, "What's yours is mine. Your opening is my opening. Anyone who disrespects you disrespects me."
As he said this, he slightly turned his body, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire scene, carrying a sense of deadly contempt.
Even though there was some distance, Sarah and Leila still felt the pressure coming at them.
This was the authority Brandon had accumulated over decades in the political arena.
Countless people instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet Brandon's gaze.
Sarah and Leila also turned pale and avoided Brandon's eyes.
"James, as long as JZL Medical Clinic abides by the law, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come directly to me." With these words, Brandon not only expressed the Miller family's support for James but also showed how much he valued James.
Not to mention Lucy and her group, even Raymond and the others were extremely surprised, not knowing how James managed to get along well with Brandon.
In the past, they spent fourteen million dollars to invite Brandon to cut a ribbon, and he didn't come. Let alone having Brandon personally come to congratulate and express his stance.
James smiled and asked Kaitlyn to pour tea,"Thank you, Mr. Brandon Miller, please come inside."
"I came in a hurry today and didn't bring a gift." Brandon looked up at the plaque, "If James doesn't mind, I can write the JZL Medical Clinic plaque."
James hadn't ordered the JZL Medical Clinic plaque, originally thinking of having Raymond and the others inscribe it. Now that Brandon offered, James was naturally delighted.
"I couldn't ask for more." James laughed heartily,"Thank you, Mr. Brandon Miller."
Virgil and Michelle quickly brought out paper and pen.
Seeing Brandon support JZL Medical Clinic and personally inscribe the plaque, Sarah and Leila's faces turned extremely pale.
Their expressions were as if they had been stabbed with a hot poker.
"Miss Ramirez, how could the Miller family congratulate James and even inscribe the plaque? Their relationship is too deep." Ray's shirt was soaked through, even the outermost suit was wet.
His legs were weak, almost causing him to collapse. As a businessman in Rosewood City, he was well aware of Brandon's capabilities.
How many people are supporting James behind the JZL Medical Clinic?
With Brandon's appearance, who at the scene would dare to do something bad with JZL Medical Clinic?
The Howard family and the Morris family are powerful, and their combined energy is immense, but compared to Brandon's personal presence, Sarah and Leila are nothing.
Unless Keith and Simon show up to fight to the death.
Ray's mouth was dry,"Miss Ramirez, what should we do?"
"Shut up!" Lucy screamed in anger.
She stared intently at James's smiling face, her nails unknowingly digging into her flesh!
Blood seeped out!
Several of her friends were also so angry that their livers hurt.
They came to see James make a fool of himself, to let him feel the pressure of the wealthy families, not to see him in high spirits and basking in glory.
They couldn't figure out what James had to make them support him.
Could the value of their relationship with James far exceed the deterrence of families like the Morris Family?
What qualifications does James have?
He's just a doctor, a son-in-law living in his wife's house after marriage, with a father who runs a cargo ship and a mother who sells iced tea, nothing remarkable at all.
But why is everything happening in the opposite direction now?
Why?
"Miss Ramirez." Ray stared stiffly in one direction.
"Didn't I tell you to shut up!" Lucy was completely furious and slapped Ray,"Are you deaf?"
She was upset, like a madwoman, venting all her frustration on Ray.
Ray covered his face and squeezed out a sentence with difficulty, "Another car is coming."
Lucy almost fell.
She was really afraid of those words.
Brandon was already the top in Rosewood City, could there be someone even more powerful coming to support James?
Who could be more terrifying than the previous ones?
Lucy instinctively looked over.
Leila and Sarah also looked over, only to see two more cars driving in from the street.
A Maybach and a stretched Lincoln.
The convoy slowly drove in, but it carried an air of arrogance.
Lucy was ecstatic, "Mr. Howard and Mr. Morris are here."
Sarah and Leila instantly perked up.
Soon, the convoy stopped across from JZL Medical Clinic.
The Maybach door opened, and Keith, dressed in a suit, stepped out, with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.
Then, the Lincoln door opened, and three black-suited bodyguards pushed Simon out.
Leila and the others were immediately overjoyed, and Lucy even waved her fist, feeling victorious.
With Simon and Keith present, it was enough to suppress the elites of Rosewood City.
James frowned slightly, not expecting such a lively day, with even Simon and Keith showing up.
"Mr. Miller, you're really not giving me, Simon, any face." Simon, sitting in a wheelchair, didn't waste any words. He looked more haggard than before, but his eyes were still fierce.
Brandon ignored him, calmly finishing writing, then looked up and smiled,"Simon, You don't get respect; you earn it."
Brandon's tone was neither light nor heavy, "You've been fighting for decades, don't you understand this principle?"
"You have destroyed the long-standing relationship between the Howard family and the Miller family for a doctor." Simon's voice suddenly became sharp,"Is it worth it?"
"Simon, you are truly a businessman, you have no progress in decades." Brandon's tone carried a hint of disdain,"Because only businessmen talk about benefits."
"For me, Brandon, I care more about justice, fairness, and loyalty. Even if everyone wants James dead, as long as he hasn't done anything wrong, I will stand by his side. A clear conscience is the bottom line of the Miller family and the principle of the people of Rosewood City." He spoke indifferently, "So, you, the Howard family, should take care of yourselves."
Simon laughed in anger, "Brandon, I know you're powerful, and I know the Miller family has great influence, but I'm not easy to mess with either. Today, I'll fight you to the end. From now on, I will withdraw all investments in Rosewood City, and I will have the authorities spare no effort to suppress the Miller family. If they don't give me face, I'll withdraw all investments in Celestia. The fluctuation of hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, I don't believe you won't kneel down and beg for mercy."
In the past, he had casually thrown out a few billion dollars would cause rumors to spread in Celestia and make countless officials to beg repeatedly.
Once he withdraws hundreds of billions of dollars, Simon believes that even the most powerful people will bow down and meet all his demands.
"I also have an announcement." Keith stepped forward, smiling sinisterly, "Whoever stands with JZL Medical Clinic is an enemy of the Morris Family. Besides those who want to die, who else wants to be an enemy of the Morris Family?"
"I do!" At this moment, a woman's voice came from the street.
It was calm and indifferent, yet very penetrating.
Leila trembled upon hearing this voice, her eyes filled with a hint of panic,"Impossible."
It was as if a voice was roaring in her heart.
