Chapter 181: Kyle Steps Down
Were the Benson family, an elite family in Oceanbridge City with a history of over half a century, really going to submit to Noah?
Their expressions suddenly became hesitant.
The Benson family's assets amounted to billions of dollars. Were they really going to just hand it all over?
This was the legacy that both Sea and Kyle had worked so hard to build over generations. If they gave it all to Noah, it would be like tearing out their hearts. How could they bear it?
"Well, what about Noah? Are you refusing?" Mason's face turned cold as he pointed his gun at the two of them.
"No, no, don't kill me!" Kyle was startled and quickly spoke up. "I agree, I agree. From now on, the Benson family belongs to Noah! All of our properties are his!"
"What about you?" Mason looked at Sea.
"I agree as well. From today onwards, the Benson family belongs to you," Sea sighed.
Refuse?
How could they refuse? If they refused, Kyle would die!
Everything would be fine as long as they were alive!
If Kyle died, the Benson family would also face destruction.
Instead of that, it was better to agree to Noah's demands. This way, the Benson family could still exist and remain as the top family in Oceanbridge City.
"It’s best for you to agree." Noah nodded. "Oh, by the way, Kyle, from today onwards, Lily will take over as the head of your family."
"What?" Kyle's eyes widened. Did this mean he was being forced to step down?
Lily was also taken aback.
"Is there a problem?" Noah asked expressionlessly.
"No, no problem. From now on, the Benson family belongs to Noah. We will agree to any orders from you," Kyle immediately said. "Lily, from today onwards, you are in charge."
Lily hadn't fully grasped the situation yet. She was now taking over as the head of the family?
"Alright!" Lily bit her lip and finally nodded. "Rest assured, Noah, I will take care of the Benson family for you."
Noah nodded, turned around with his hands behind his back, and walked out of the hall.
"The rare metal will stay here so you can you make good use of them. In addition, the frozen funds of the Benson family, the top executives who were poached, and the terminated distributors and suppliers will all be restored," said Noah faintly.
Kyle was overjoyed. The Benson family had not collapsed, and they had also obtained the rare metal legitimately. The rare metal, meant that the Benson family had a great chance of becoming a prestigious family in the future.
"Dad, that insignificant person has been careless and ignorant. He actually left the rare metal behind..." As Kyle was about to finish his sentence, Sea slapped him hard across the face.
"Kyle, you ungrateful child. Do you still have a desire for revenge at a time like this?!" Sea glared at Kyle angrily.
"Dad, I..." Bryan stammered, "Noah insulted the Benson family, but he showed mercy and didn’t completely eliminate us..."
"You fool. Let me tell you, Noah's background is terrifying and dreadful. Just a moment ago, Madison, the head of the mercenaries, called me to defend Noah. Think about it, if even Madison wants to defend him, do you think we can afford to mess with Noah?" Sea interrupted him.
"What?" Kyle could hardly believe it. He never expected this. "Dad, when you went to answer the call in the car, was it from Madison?"
"Yes." Sea nodded, his gaze solemn.
Kyle was deeply shocked and frightened. Who was Madison? He was a prominent figure at the top of the Southern Mercenary Corps. Even he felt the need to defend Noah. What kind of background did Noah have?
Could Noah be backed by a superfamily that had been in existence for over a hundred years?
Kyle felt a sense of powerlessness. Even if the Benson family became a prestigious family, they would not be able to rival Noah. After all, Noah was someone whom even Madison had to defend.
"Now, what we need to do is to let go of our hatred and serve Noah sincerely," Sea said. "I believe that though this young man is ruthless and cold-blooded, he’s still reasonable. If you hadn't provoked him multiple times, Noah wouldn't have treated the Benson family this way."
Kyle nodded, realizing that Sea was right.
"And besides, there are benefits to the Benson Family aligning with Noah."
Sea said, "Noah's background is terrifying. We have attached ourselves to him. If the Benson family encounters danger in the future, Noah won’t just stand idly by.
"Furthermore, attaching ourselves to him is beneficial for the development of the Benson family. As you just saw, Noah is generous and gifted us the rare metal. Who else would be able to be so extravagant?"
"You're right, Dad," Kyle said.
"Anyway, since we’ve attached ourselves to Noah, let's serve him well. We shouldn’t entertain any thoughts of revenge. Let's just pretend that nothing happened today."
"I’ll do whatever you say!" Kyle immediately responded seriously.
Sea then looked at Lily again.
"Lily, from today onwards, you are Kyle. You hold great power, but since you just took office, if you don't understand anything, you should ask your father for guidance.
"And Noah is already married but is still acting like your boyfriend. Obviously, he has feelings for you. In the future, you should get closer to Noah for the sake of the Benson family. Even if you sacrifice a little of yourself, it's nothing compared to the fortune you will gain."
Lily's pretty face turned red as she murmured, "I understand, Grandpa."
"Good." Sea nodded in satisfaction.
At the same time.
In the southern region of Eagleland, Veloria, the headquarters of a mercenary group.
Located by the mountains and water, the environment here was beautiful. Inside, mercenaries dressed in combat uniforms stood guard with stern expressions.
In the headquarters' office.
An elderly man in combat attire held a phone in his hand, his face filled with respect.
"Larry, I've already taken care of the situation with Noah. He's safe."
"Alright, I got it," a deep voice said from the other end of the phone.
That voice was filled with endless dignity, as if it belonged to a man who stood at the top of the world whose every word and action could influence the entire world.
"Now that Noah is safe, let's just let this matter go. It's good for a young person to experience more things," the voice continued, "But experience is just experience. If it goes too far and puts Noah's life in danger, there many people will be buried with him! Eagleland will turn into a river of blood!"
The elderly man trembled all over, and cold sweat ran down his fearful back.
"Larry, you can rest assured. This will never happen again! I will secretly station the Werewolf mercenaries to protect Noah's safety."
"Alright, that's the best way. I have other matters to attend to, so I'm hanging up."
Beep beep beep!
The dial tone could be heard.
"Phew..."
