Chapter 701: Triggered By a Touch

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

From the moment Herman Walker stood up to speak, the battlefield of the four most powerful families in California became even more dangerous and tense.

In the beginning, everyone thought that this was a battle between the Coles, the Parkers, and the Hales against the Kingstons.

In contrast, the Walkers, who had always been uninvolved, might choose to sit this one out and reap the spoils when the others fought to the death later. They were sure that the Walkers would definitely become the final winner.

No one expected that the Walkers would take the initiative to jump out and join the battle at this time.

But no one could guess whose side the Walkers would take.

Lance narrowed his eyes and suddenly realized that Herman seemed to be behaving differently from usual today. He wasn’t behaving like the usual low-key old man.

If he had to describe Herman as a sword, the old Herman would be like an ordinary sword sheathed in a scabbard, which didn’t look harmful in any way. But the current Herman standing in front of the crowd now seemed to have left his scabbard, revealing cold rays of light emanating in all directions.

For some reason, Lance suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Similarly, Edmund frowned slightly. He also discovered that Herman was different from usual.

But he was more curious about Herman’s purpose for standing up at this time.

Edmund thought that if Herman was after the ultimate benefits, the safest solution would be for the Walkers to wait until the end, sit the battle out, and then reap the benefits.

… Unless Herman’s purpose wasn’t that simple.

At this moment, many people were discussing Herman after he suddenly stood up.

But there was one person whose muscles tensed up the moment he saw Herman coming forward.

“The Walkers!” Reynold Watson gritted his teeth while wishing that the Walkers would die right in front of him immediately!

The Walkers were the targets he really wanted to deal with tonight!

Reason being, the bastard Nate had killed his only precious son, Dallas, so he had to take revenge against the Walkers!

“Mr. Walker, what do you mean by that?” Lance questioned, but his tone was very amicable when speaking to Herman.

After all, Lance wasn’t willing to become enemies with another powerful person before clarifying Herman’s stand and purpose.

Edmund asked, “Mr. Walker, what do you mean?”

Herman looked at the two big shots from San Francisco on par with him and smiled slightly. “I don’t have a deep meaning. I just think that since today’s Elite Business Exchange is a grand event held once every three years in California and the Kingstons are the host, there seems to be nothing wrong for Mr. Kingston to chase out a few families that are in the way and causing trouble, right?”

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately understood the meaning of his words. They were surprised that he was supportive of the Kingstons.

Lance was also a bit surprised because he didn’t expect Herman to speak up for his family.

Logically speaking, Herman shouldn’t be helping the Kingstons, so everyone wondered if there was some other hidden reason.

Is Herman Walker choosing to help me because he disapproves of Edmund Cole?

But regardless of the reason, Herman was on the Kingstons’ side now, which was good news for him!

On the other hand, Edmund’s face darkened slightly. “Mr. Walker, does that mean you’ve decided to stand on the Kingstons’ side?”

Herman didn’t admit or deny it. He merely smiled and said, “Mr. Cole, the Walkers, the Coles, and the Kingstons have been the three giants of San Francisco for more than a decade, right?

“I actually don’t want to see the balance broken because once a conflict breaks out between our three powerful families, the other forces in California will definitely be implicated too.

“So, I suggest that we leave it to the Kingstons and the Hales to resolve their feud on their own. Mr. Cole, it’s better not to get involved!

“Of course, if you insist on your decision and help these families fight against the Kingstons, I can’t just sit back and watch. When the time comes, the Coles probably won’t be our match even if you join hands with those few small families!

“Mr. Cole, since you’re already advanced in years. You shouldn’t meddle with these affairs. Isn’t it better to live well?”

Herman looked extremely helpless, as if he was just a peacemaker who had no choice but to do so.

But Edmund could hear the threats in his words.

Only now did the other people in the venue finally understand that the Walkers were really here for the Coles.

“It seems that the Coles are in trouble this time! The Kingstons and the Walkers are both top families on par with the Coles. The Coles won’t be a match for them if they join forces!”

“I can’t believe that Mr. Walker chose to stand on the Kingstons’ side. When did the two of them start getting along so well?”

“For the peace of all of California? Why does it sound so fake? But speaking of which, what exactly are the Walkers’ intentions? I have a feeling that it’s not that simple!”

“Who knows? Anyway, now that the situation is becoming more complicated, I wonder what choice Mr. Cole will make!”

…

Everyone was talking about the current situation and couldn’t help looking at Edmund to see what choice he would make.

Edmund stood upright in the field and asked loudly, “Herman Walker, do you really want to get involved in the feud between our families?”

Herman said with a confident smile, “It’s not that I have to interfere. I’m just being fair. If you don’t get involved in it, I naturally won’t interfere either!”

“Haha!” Edmund sneered and said with a hostile look on his face, “In that case, do as you wish! Anyway, I have made my stand clear. The Hales and the Parkers are friends of the Coles, and I won’t be kind to anyone who wants to harm them! If you want to go to war, then let’s do it! The Coles aren’t afraid!”

As soon as he said this, several bodyguards behind Edmund immediately got their guards up and put their hands into the inside of their suits, ready to make a move.

At the same time, Bruce, Connor, Damon, and Kenneth also stood up while the bodyguards behind them became vigilant.

All of a sudden, the exchange venue was full of the terrifying aura of an impending war.

The war seemed about to begin!
