Chapter 227
As for why Clinton helped him destroy the Daniels family, David simply said that the Daniels brothers
were evil and harmful to society, so he reported the situation to Clinton. After that, the Daniels family
was destroyed. He did not know the details either.
He knew Rhonda would not believe it, of course. This was because he did not believe it either! He even
blushed a little when he said they were harmful to society and evil. What was confusing was that
Rhonda did not question him.
However, Miss Pearl’s best friend was not that simple either. An office building seemed dispensable to
her, and she did not care about it that much.
Her background must be quite special too!
However, he was too low-level to understand Springfield’s local forces at that moment.
After David left, Rhonda went to another private room.
Inside sat a young man of about 27 or 28 years old.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Well? Rhonda, have you got anything?” The man asked.
“I found nothing! But I’ve figured something out from his statement! By the way, Tony, David said he’s a
core member of SCC. Could he be our enemy in the future?” Asked Rhonda.
The man was Rhonda’s brother, Tony Rogers. He was also the third heir of the Rogers family one of
the top four families in Springfield!
“Not necessarily! SCC isn’t monolithic either. David and Morris are both core members. Didn’t they fight
to the death too? So we’ll have to see what happens next,” said Tony.
“That’s alright!” Rhonda was relieved.
She did not want to make an enemy of David.
Pearl and she had been good friends since university. David was Pearl’s boss, and Pearl seemed very
loyal to him.
If they did become enemies, Pearl would be stuck in the middle.
She did not want to lose her best friend Pearl!
“Tell me what you and David talked about,” asked Tony.
Rhonda briefed her conversation with David to Tony.
Tony was not sure who David was and what his background was even after he finished listening
It might have been easy for Clinton to wipe out the Daniels family in a single day, but the price
he paid sizeable.
On the one hand, Morris was one of the core members of SCC. What would the other core members
think once he did that?
It was bound to cause suspicion and distrust among other core members and might even cause SCC’s
current internal structure to weaken.
On the other hand, Morris was Silva’s man, and while it would have made sense for Silva to come
forward if Clinton wanted to touch him, Silva was oddly silent.
That meant Clinton must have struck some deal with Silva, in which the latter would rather lose Morris
and risk being questioned.
Clinton must have paid a high price to keep Silva quiet.
With that analysis, there were only two possibilities for David’s identity.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOne was that even Clinton could not afford to offend him, so he risked everything to curry favor with
David.
If that was the case, then David’s identity was quite scary. At the very least, he was not someone
anyone in Springfield could afford to offend.
The second was that Clinton needed David’s help, and David meant more to him than it would cost to
destroy the Daniels family.
It was significantly less intimidating than the first possibility, but it was terrifying in its own right!
In either case, David was not just some nobody.
“Did you say David is the boss of one of your best friends?” Asked Tony.
“Yeah! I don’t want to make an enemy of him. She has been my best friend since university, and she
seems loyal to him. I don’t want to put her on the spot!” Replied Rhonda.
“Then try to get David on our side! Let him be our friend!”
ENE
“But he’s a core member of the SCC!”
“Our opponent was never the SCC, just that woman!”
