Chapter 68 Poaching Talent

Kevin was fuming.

A bunch of nobodies, daring to talk trash right in front of him!

Not just them, but in the whole Silvervale Province, who'd dare say they could take him out!

"Mr. Stevens, what did you say? You're Fergus' lackey?" John, scared out of his mind, forgot his pain and asked, "Isn't Fergus' lackey the underground emperor of Tarynville, Mr. Quinn? How could it be you?"

Everyone else was just as shocked, staring at him like he was some kind of freak.

They knew if Kevin was Fergus' lackey, then Fergus must be someone really big.

Kevin was taken aback. 'Underground emperor? The guy John mentioned isn't me?'

His face turned red, and he quickly came up with a plan. He frowned and asked, "What does this Fergus guy look like?"

John, shaking, described Fergus' appearance.

"Wrong guy!" Kevin denied sternly. "I thought it was someone big I knew, but it turns out to be some young punk. Wrong guy!"

As soon as he said that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They knew Fergus had just gotten out of prison and couldn't be anyone big. Besides, if Fergus could really make Kevin his lackey, his status must be extraordinary.

So, why would he stick around Violet?

It didn't add up!

John also let out a sigh of relief and whined, "Mr. Stevens, I'm in so much pain. I want revenge. Lend me your bodyguards. I want him dead now!"

Every second Fergus was alive made John uneasy.

Kevin waved him off, "John, don't overthink it. Go to the hospital first, and then contact your dad to figure something out!"

Saying this, he slowly stood up and said, "I just remembered I have some matters to attend to. I'll be leaving now!"

After saying that, he quickly left, a barely noticeable smile on his face. He couldn't help but think, 'Seeking revenge on Mr. Yost? No way! Otherwise, in the future, there might only be four major families left in Silvervale Province.'

He left so abruptly that everyone was caught off guard.

Hayden thought for a moment and quickly chased after him, tentatively asking, "Mr. Stevens, would you like to have a drink before you go?"

As long as he drank, people would think they had a connection, and their situation would improve a lot.

"No time!" Kevin coldly responded. He came here just to find an excuse to see Fergus. Now that Fergus had left, there was no need to stay.

Hayden's face turned red with frustration, and he unwillingly asked, "Mr. Stevens, can I ask when the big shot will arrive?"

Hayden thought, 'Even without Kevin, it will be good if an big shot comes later.'

Kevin sneered. "He has already left!"

Hayden was dumbfounded.

Everyone was stunned.

At that moment, Linda ran out of the villa, panicking. "Hayden, something's wrong. Sophia committed suicide!" 

At Sky Palace, Fergus brought Xavier back here for further treatment. As for tonight's events, he didn't care at all. If someone came to hold him accountable, he could just make a call to someone in prison.

He remembered someone who seemed to be the head of the National Police Department, who was imprisoned for making a mistake. His words would definitely carry weight.

At worst, he could go back to prison. After all, he couldn't be held there; he could come and go as he pleased.

Downstairs, Violet held the phone, her face heavy, and said with difficulty, "Dad, I'm begging you this time. Please, you must help Fergus, or he will die!"

Taking action was simple, but dealing with the aftermath was troublesome. Violet was now helping Fergus handle the aftermath.

Otherwise, the Zimmerman family would never let Fergus go.

On the other end of the phone was Declan Gray, the head of the Gray family, one of the seven top families in Serastia!

Declan's voice was heavy. "Even though it happened in Tarynville, the whole family knows about it now. They're dead set on executing Fergus."

Violet's knees gave out, and she dropped to the floor.

Sarah stood beside her, glaring upstairs. 'This idiot Fergus only knows how to stir up trouble, and now he's really done it!'

Violet pleaded, "Dad, I'm begging you. Please help me. I swear this is the last time. Please!"

She had to make it sound dire. Otherwise, Declan would never clean up the mess for someone insignificant.

Declan was silent for a moment, then asked seriously, "Are you two involved?"

Violet's heart sank. If she admitted it, Fergus would be even more doomed. The Gray family would never accept someone like him, and Declan was no different.

She firmly said, "I'll keep my distance from Fergus. There will be absolutely no inappropriate behavior!"

Declan said, "One month. If you can't become the richest person in Tarynville within a month, come back!"

Then he hung up.

Listening to the dial tone, Violet smiled bitterly. Becoming the richest person in Tarynville in a month was impossible!

The richest person, Hayden, had assets close to ten billion dollars. She only had Plot 140, worth 3.4 billion dollars, not even half. If she could secure the pharmaceutical business, there might be hope, but the Zimmerman family had already taken it, making it impossible.

"Maybe this is fate," Violet sighed inwardly.

But as long as she could ensure Fergus' life, it was worth it.

"Ms. Gray!" Sarah rushed over to help Violet up, choking up, "Is it worth it for a jerk? Becoming the richest person in Tarynville in a month is impossible. You're ruining your life to save Fergus!"

The more Sarah thought about it, the angrier she got, feeling an urge to confront Fergus.

Violet smiled through her tears. "It's worth it!"

Sarah gritted her teeth in anger and shouted upstairs, "Fergus, you useless piece of trash, you can cause trouble but can't solve it. Just die!"

"Sarah!" Violet interrupted with a stern face.

Sarah, still fuming, said, "It's true. What is Fergus, a nobody, pretending to be? If it weren't for you, Fergus would have been beaten to death long ago. He still thinks he's so great! In reality, he is nothing!"

Violet said again, "Stop talking!"

Sarah firmly said, "I will say it. Fergus, you can't even feed yourself without Ms. Gray. What right do you have to cause trouble? If you're a man, resign and stay away from Ms. Gray. Let me see where you can beg for food! Probably no one would even give you a bite!"

As Sarah was ranting, the doorbell rang.

"Someone's here. Shut up and go open the door!" Violet said coldly.

Sarah gritted her teeth and shouted again, "Fergus, if you have any dignity left, get out of the villa and stay away from Ms. Gray. Get lost!"

Saying this, she opened the door and was stunned to see who was outside. "Mr. Stevens?"

Before coming to Tarynville, Sarah had memorized the entire power structure of Silvervale Province, so she naturally knew Kevin.

Kevin smiled. "Sorry for the late visit. Is Mr. Yost here?"

He came Tarynville for Fergus, so he naturally wanted to meet him.

Hearing this, Violet walked over. Seeing Kevin, she quickly became cautious and asked seriously, "Why are you looking for Fergus?"

Kevin clasped his hands and said, "You must be Ms. Gray. Indeed, you have a rare beauty that matches Mr. Yost perfectly!"

"I heard that Mr. Yost performed brilliantly at Plot 140, and I was deeply impressed and amazed, so I came to visit. Is Mr. Yost here?"

When Kevin finished speaking, Violet was stunned and asked in surprise, "Are you here to poach him?"

Sarah was dumbfounded.
