Chapter 0240
The news that Alexander Kane of Ol’ Mare in Tormora had nothing to do with the Kane family in the
north spread like wildfire all over the north.
“Hahaha! That’s good to hear.” Tobias, having heard the news, was pleased. His expression turned
malicious.” Since he isn’t part of the Kane family, we don’t have to be afraid of him. Mister Wafer!”
Oddly heavy footsteps approached him.
Mister Water was the Ellis family’s strongest envoy and was also Gordon’s god-grandfather. He was
the Apex of Grandmaster, Yered Wafer.
“Sir.” Yered walked over to Tobias, but he did not bow. His gaze gleamed with hostility. “I’m prepared.
Just say the word, and I will get you Alexander Kane’s head!”
Tobias narrowed his eyes and slowly shook his head.
Killing someone was easy. Tobias wanted more than just to kill Alexander.
“Mister Wafer, challenge Alexander to a fight using your name,” Tobias said with a suppressed tone.
His eyes gleamed coldly. “Of course, this won’t be a fair fight. I will arrange for everything and make
sure he dies terribly!

die, but I also want him to feel despair before he dies.”
Yered was silent for a few seconds. “What if he doesn’t accept the challenge…”
“He will!” Tobias snickered maliciously. “I’ve looked into it. He’s devoted to the General Manager of the
New Chesire Group, Amber Chesire. As long as we capture Amber, he will be in my control!”
Yered nodded at Tobias. “A fine plan, indeed!”
Things were in movement up in the north. A thousand kilometers away in Ol’ Mare, it was peaceful.
As the underworld forces were united, the economy in Tormora bloomed, and New Chesire Group kept
growing. The online sales platform of Life One was fully up and running. Not only were they selling in
the country, but they were also expanding internationally.
As for the construction going on at Larkspur County, under Frank Perry’s supervision and rush job, the
entire base was built within a week. They were also quickly recruiting planters. Everything went
according to plan.
A Mercedes-Benz S600 with an Ol’ Mare car number plate sped on the highway.
Acela was sitting in the passenger seat in front. She turned to look at Amber seated behind and said,
“Miss Chesire, you’re so close with Mister Kane. Why don’t you take him along to Larkspur County this
time?”
Amber smiled.
Ever since Acela had been ambushed, they had changed her position at the New Chesire Group. After

Amber secretly took Acela along to Larkspur County. She hoped to prove her capabilities to Alexander.
She wanted to impress him.
“We women have to be independent and strong. We can’t just rely on men.”
Amber thought back about the things that happened. She said with a smile, “Acela, having an amazing
husband is a blessing, but we can’t just laze around as well. The more amazing the men are, the more
we have to prove our own value. Do you understand?”
Acela blushed. She bit her lip.
…
She mused to herself, ‘Mister Kane will you look at me fondly if I perform well at work? But Miss
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChesire will fire me if she finds out, won’t she?’
Bam!
A sudden loud crash interrupted Acela’s thought.
The car shook violently. Smoke was coming out from the hood, blocking their view. A low sneer rang
out from the side of the road. “Hehe! Miss Chesire, I’ve been waiting for you a long time!”
It was Tobias.
Two envoys in gray shirts walked over to the car door and smashed the bullet-proof glass with ease.
They looked at the flustered Amber and smirked.
“W-Who are you all!” Amber forced herself to remain calm. She secretly took her phone out of her bag,
trying to stall time. “How much money do you want? As long as you promise we are safe, I—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Tobias waved his hand, and an envoy immediately went forward
and pulled Amber out of the car. He sliced his hand down behind her neck, knocking her out
immediately!
*Kidnapping? This is too easy!” Tobias sneered. He looked at Acela in the front passenger seat and
snickered. “Don’t worry. Tell Alexander Kane that as long as he obeys me, Miss Chesire will be alright.
Also, get him to remember my name. Tobias Ellis of the Ellis family!”
