[Chapter 208]
Clinton fell deep in thought.
David did not urge him either, opting to sit quietly and wait for his reply instead.
After a moment of consideration, Clinton decided not to decline David until he negotiated with Silva.
"It won't be easy to remove the Daniels from Springfield, David, they've been here for a long time. I've got to make the proper preparations first. Perhaps I could give you a surer reply tomorrow?" Clinton asked.
"Sure! I'll leave this to you, then, Clinton. Let's go, Miss Pearl." Then, David got up to leave.
Pearl went out after him, with Wayne and Gordon following closely behind.
Bill was still stunned by the time David left.
From what he remembered the last time he saw David, the man was still respectful and easy to talk to, showing none of the arrogance he had displayed today.
It had not been too long then, but David seemed to have become a completely different person.
"Bill, what happened here?" Clinton demanded.
Bill then proceeded to tell Clinton what he saw after he arrived in detail.
"So David beat all these people up alone?" Clinton asked again.
"Yes! Very quickly too! These people couldn't even react before they got beaten up," Bill replied.
Clinton walked over to where Old Carl had succumbed to his injuries and fainted a long time ago.
"Check his injuries," Clinton said.
The middle-aged man behind him immediately went forward to check out Old Carl's injuries.
"His injuries are very severe, Young Master. He has fractures in both his hands and at least half the bones in his ribcage are broken. It had to have been a very powerful impact for such damage to occur."
"How powerful are we talking?" Clinton asked.
"Most likely a peak Tiger Ranker!"
"Got it. Bill, make a call and send all of them to the hospital. Let's go."
After this, Clinton left the private room.
He still needed to talk to Silva and persuade the man to ignore what was going to happen to the Daniels. After all, Morris was Silva's lackey.
At the very least, he needed to persuade Silva to ignore it right now, since it was an important time before his ten-year appointment. Clinton was willing to pay a price for Silva's temporary ignorance.
David's strength was beyond what he imagined, and he needed to recruit David as this man was going to help him a lot.
As a result, the Daniels were destined to be sacrificed in the process.
David left with Pearl and the others before arriving at the rented office.
"Miss Pearl, please try to contact the landlord again and ask if they're free to meet in the afternoon. There's something I need to do in the Capital City after this is done," David told Pearl.
"Alright, Mr. Lidell."
Pearl contacted the landlord of the office building again.
The landlord proposed to meet tomorrow afternoon and David agreed.
After all, Clinton was going to give him a reply tomorrow.
If Clinton was not going to help, then David would have to contact the organization and ask them to do it instead.
This might take up a few days, but it was only a matter of time until the Daniels would be gotten rid off.
By getting rid of the Daniels, David was not only making a name for himself, but he was also getting rid of the scums of society, according to the crimes Bill said the Daniels brothers had committed
The Daniels family could not be a righteous family either considering how they allowed their children to do as they wished and often cleaned up after their children's messes.
At the same time, in Springfield, the Daniels also received wind of Morris and Gunther being admitted to the hospital for severe injuries.
The Daniels family was in chaos.
Morris was the first heir to the Daniels family, he was one of the four outstanding talents in Springfield, and the future master of the Daniels family. Yet someone had dared to break both his arms.
Gunther might have a status as high as Morris, but he was still a legitimate child of the Daniels and now he had lost the ability to carry on the family name.
This was a blow to the Daniels family's dignity.
The current master of the Daniels family, Tungsten was furious that his sons were crippled right under his rule. This person was provoking the Daniels family.
"Where did this information come from?" Tungsten asked angrily.
"From the hospital, Master Daniels!"
"Who sent them there?"
"We're not sure, Master Daniels."
"Not sure? The find out! I'd like to know who's bold enough to hurt a member of the Daniels family here in Springfield! How impudent!"
"Yes, Master Daniels!"
After ordering people to investigate the truth behind Morris' newly crippled state, Tungsten made way for a small room in the backyard of the villa.
This was where his father, Old Master Daniels, was staying to rest.
His father may have handed over the mantle a long time ago, but his prestige still remained, and he was still the person who made the important decisions for the family.
Old Master Daniels was infuriated when he heard that his two grandsons had been crippled.
He immediately contacted his past connections and started to investigate the truth behind what had happened.
At the same time, many businesses under the Daniels family started to face troubles.
Business partners started coming up with excuses to break contracts
Constructions that had already passed acceptance checks were forced to undergo another round of testing only to fail them this time.
Projects that were undergoing negotiation were also immediately rejected.
Not that these affected the Daniels family much.
What truly put them into a frenzy was when the bank started asking them to repay loans while a few companies operating in the gray areas of the law were also being investigated.
The corresponding people in charge were subsequently brought away.
This was what they were most afraid of; their capital chain rupturing and the bank urging them to repay their debts, all sorts of projects forced to be put on hold, and their "gray" businesses being banned.
If these projects were closely investigated, you would find that there was a loophole in all of them.
Anyone could tell that someone was targeting the Daniels.
This person was very powerful too, and it made them terrified.
In a night, the Daniels family had gone from Heaven to Hell.
They used to be a glorious and powerful family, but now they were defenseless and hated.
Everyone in Springfield who partnered with the Daniels was terrified that they would get dragged into this.
Everything happened so quickly and the Daniels were not given any chances to react.
The next morning, the Daniels family living room was filled with people.
These were all managers or people in charge of their companies and projects.
They were all here to report their respective situations to the Daniels.
Any company or project related to the Daniels family was forced to stop operating.
The master of the Daniels family, Tungsten, old Master Daniels, and the rest of the Daniels family's main and side families, were also seated in the living room.
Everyone had a look of confusion and terror on their faces.
The living room was silent as everyone waited for Master Daniels to explain.
Tungsten cracked under the pressure and threw the teacup in his hand onto the floor.
"Crash!"
"Who is it! Who's trying to get rid of the Daniels family?" Tungsten roared.
"Me," came a voice from the door.
Everyone in the living room turned to look over.
