Chapter 1973
"What's going on here, Sebastian? What happened?" Devon could not help asking as he glanced around him at Alan
and Angus, whose faces meant business.
Sebastian already explained everything to him before coming over to Scammell Mansion to provide backup, so it
did not take long for Devon to realize the significance of defeating Leon.
After all, Leon was not only the president of Elegante Group, but Cynthion Group as well, and as long as the Hiltons
could find some way to get rid of him, not only would they successfully have taken down their biggest competitor,
but they would also be able to take Cynthion Group as their own!
Devon was a wise businessman who understood the potential of this opportunity, and so he, like his son and
grandson, was eager to carry this out.

Sebastian and the rest of the Hiltons along to defeat Leon first, whereas he would stay back and assemble an even
more powerful team as a backup.
This was why he took so long to arrive!
The point was, the Hiltons put in considerable effort to stop the Thompsons from shielding Leon too much to ease
their task, but none of them ever imagined that Leon would not
only have the Thompsons on his side but the Hughes as well!
This was something that none of them ever expected to see, and thus they were all taken by shock!
"Well, here's what happened," Sebastian then proceeded to briefly explain everything to his father.
"Oh, I see!" Devon gasped in realization, finally understanding why the Hughes, including Alan himself, showed up
here.
"You arrived just in time, Old Hiltons! Your grandson almost killed my grandson, and you Hiltons owe us an
explanation!" Alan said coldly, unwilling to back down.
"An explanation? You've gotta be joking, Old Hughes! The person who poisoned your grandson was Gordon, so what
does this have to do with us? You can't slander us just like that. Do you honestly think we'd go down without a
fight?" Devon replied, sneering.
"You!" Alan was infuriated by this, but he knew that there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Devon was
telling the truth; none of them had any concrete evidence that would prove the Hiltons' involvement in Darius'
poisoning, and so there was nothing they could do about it, so long as Joel continued denying it!
"Even if this has nothing to do with the Hiltons, can you say the same about what happened to Leon? You Hiltons
kept bullying him over and over just to bring down Elegante Group, and this goes against the laws of the Gangster
World! We will not be satisfied until we get some restitution for

your actions! Otherwise, you will taste the wrath of the Thompsons!" Angus piped up.
"Angus, don't try to scare me by bringing out your family name! Leon Wolf has crippled Seth-an act that is both
cruel and unrelenting. It is well within the Golans' right to seek revenge for this! This is a personal vengeance
between Leon and the Golans, and has nothing to do with you Thompsons at all! By right, you aren't allowed to stick
your nose into their business, and should you do so, us Hiltons will not hesitate to do the same!" Devon retorted
rather defiantly.
"You!" Angus was so outraged to hear this that his face twisted into a grotesque scowl! He wanted to stick up for
Leon, but the Hiltons were too sly and manipulative-none of the Hiltons, not even Devon himself, were playing by
the rules!
Besides, since Leon was not a member of the Thompsons, the Hiltons kept using this as an excuse to exclude the
Thompsons' rightful participation in all this!
This put them in a disadvantaged situation!
