Chapter 257: BMW 7 Series
"Ahhh!"
Gideon's screams echoed through the entire hall, drawing everyone's attention. However, at this moment, their gazes towards Noah were as if they were looking at a dead man.
"This kid is courting death! Today is the Benson Family Head Inauguration Ceremony, a solemn occasion, and he dares to cause trouble and hit people here!"
"Indeed! This is a blatant disrespect to the Benson Family!"
"The crucial point is, the person he hit is Gideon, the future successor of the Winchester Family!"
"This kid, in an instant, has offended two of the four major families in Oceanbridge City!"
"Even if the Benson Family spares him, the Winchester Family will not!"
"This kid is already a dead man walking."
...
The crowd pointed at Noah, whispering among themselves, their eyes cold and mocking.
"Security! Security!"
Gideon lay on the ground, shouting. Just now, Noah had stomped on him a few more times, causing his face to contort in pain.
Four or five security guards, hearing the commotion, prepared to stop Noah from causing further trouble.
"Don't go."
A calm and ethereal voice came, yet it carried a hint of authority. The four or five security guards turned back, their faces changing, and respectfully said:
"Master!"
The speaker was Lily.
"Just watch from the side and mind your own business," Lily said calmly, her gaze falling on Noah.
"Understood!"
The security guards quickly stepped aside.
"Security! Security! Where are the security guards! Ouch, it hurts! Hurry, come and take away this demon!"
Gideon continued to shout.
Two minutes had passed, and still, no security guards appeared.
The onlookers' expressions changed.
Up to now, no security had come to stop this incident.
For such a ceremony, the Benson Family's security would not be so negligent.
There was only one explanation: the Benson Family did not want to stop this.
Or rather, the troublemaking youth, the Benson Family... could not afford to provoke! So they did not intervene!
Thinking of this, the crowd's faces changed dramatically, and they gasped.
"Could it be that this youth has some unknown identity?"
"Otherwise, why would the Benson Family stand by so idly!"
...
Bang, bang, bang!
After kicking a few more times, Noah glanced at Gideon:
"Gideon, I just apologized to you and called you by your name. Who would have thought you would be so ungrateful and mock me. Do you really think I'm a pushover, easy to manipulate?"
"Let me make it clear, go back and tell your Winchester Family head, the logistics cooperation, the Winchester Family must agree, whether they want to or not!"
After speaking, Noah clasped his hands behind his back and strode out of the Royal Garden.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Gideon climbed up from the ground, coughing continuously, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Watching Noah's retreating figure, his eyes were icy:
"Noah, so what if you're skilled? Logistics cooperation is a matter for my Winchester Family! Do you really think you can force us to comply with your skills?"
"This kind of thing cannot be resolved by force. Besides, my Winchester Family doesn't care about a mere couple of thousand bucks a day!"
...
By this time, Noah had already walked out of the Royal Garden.
"Hey, Noah, you're out so soon?"
Seeing Noah, Thomas immediately approached, looking at Noah in surprise:
"Why are you so dirty?"
Noah's clothes were covered in soup and wine, emitting a strange odor.
"I accidentally got it on myself."
Noah smiled, casually taking off his suit and holding it in his hand.
Thomas immediately took a photo of Noah, saying:
"Noah, there's no need to hide it from me. Clearly, you didn't behave well inside and got splashed by those high-society people!"
"Sigh, did you do something inappropriate inside? Is that why they treated you like this?"
Noah smiled without saying a word.
Thomas continued, "Noah, I advised you to behave yourself inside. I understand your eagerness to join high society, but you can't break the rules in there!"
"You should heed my advice. If you had listened to me, this wouldn't have happened."
Thomas was so nagging that Noah became somewhat annoyed:
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. I'll let you know when I need that million."
With that, Noah turned and walked towards the parking lot.
A white business car roared away.
"GMC Sprinter!"
Seeing Noah's car, Thomas's face changed, becoming angry:
"Noah actually bought a car worth over a million without telling me! Could he really have taken that million as his own money?"
Immediately, Thomas took out his phone, snapped a photo of Noah's car, and then pulled out a notebook, writing:
"Noah received a million, and his attitude seems to have changed significantly. Not only has he become a nouveau riche, but he's also become unreasonable. He secretly bought a car without informing the show, probably considering that million as his own money."
"And he loves face, didn't listen to my advice, got splashed with soup at the ceremony, but said it was an accident!"
...
Half an hour later, Noah drove back to Summit Retreat Oasis.
Gideon's attitude showed that to achieve logistics cooperation with the Winchester Family, soft methods wouldn't work, only hard ones would.
Noah pondered how to force the Winchester Family to agree to the logistics cooperation.
The best way, of course, was to cut off the Winchester Family's various partners and trade chains, just like dealing with the Benson Family.
If the Winchester Family didn't agree, he would directly destroy them.
But this task, due to family relations, couldn't be handled that way, so this method was naturally useless.
"It seems I still need to think of other ways..."
Noah rubbed his temples. If necessary, he would use money.
He would go directly to the Winchester Family head, offering tens of billions as a deposit. With such sincerity, he didn't believe the Winchester Family wouldn't agree.
But unless it was a last resort, he wouldn't use this method because... it was too costly.
Even if he had money, he couldn't burn it like this.
Just as Noah was deep in thought, a roaring sound came from outside the villa.
A black sedan drove up to the villa.
The car was entirely black, with delicate lines, very textured, and very long, over five meters, longer than the Mercedes E Noah had bought.
"BMW 7 Series."
Noah glanced at it and immediately recognized the car, his expression unchanged.
At this moment, the car door opened, and a man and a woman got out.
It was Larry and Sarah!
Larry wore sunglasses and a silk suit, looking very wealthy.
Beside him, Sarah wore a long dress with a diamond necklace around her neck, glittering and clearly expensive.
"Yo, Noah, you're home!"
Larry walked up to Noah, took off his sunglasses, and teased Noah.
"Is there something you need?"
Noah glanced at Larry and Sarah.
The outfits of these two, combined, were worth about a million. It seemed Larry had recently taken on a big project and suddenly became wealthy.
But this naturally wouldn't affect Noah's mindset in the slightest.
"Of course, I have something. Do you think I'd come to you if I had nothing better to do?"
Larry handed over a red invitation card, grinning proudly:
"This is an invitation. Your sister and I bought a new house, also in Summit Retreat Oasis. We're having a housewarming in a couple of days, and you must come!"
