The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 628

It didn't matter even if it meant an all-out war!

Not to mention, Shelby would never allow anyone to harm his beloved grandson.

This meant there was no room for negotiation.

"Then there's nothing more to discuss. Mr. Greene, we can start preparing for everything now. We still have time. What happened in the Eastern State will definitely draw the Benton family's attention. To put it bluntly, the deaths of so many Tiger Ranking powerhouses will send shockwaves far and wide. Even the Benton family won't dare to act rashly."

Nolan nodded and smiled at Pierce. "Or rather, when they find out you, the invincible powerhouse of the Tiger Ranking, are on my side, they'll think twice before making any moves."

The intimidation that Pierce's name alone could bring was no joke. The Benton family might not know much about Nolan, but they certainly knew about Pierce as the invincible powerhouse of the Tiger ranking, especially since Pierce had fought a Dragon-ranked powerhouse and emerged unscathed.

For the Benton family, that fact alone spoke volumes.

Nolan waved his hand. "No need to overthink it. We still have time. For now, let's focus on conquering the underworld of the five southeastern states. If the Benton family wants to come, let them. If they don't, I'll go to them."

Meanwhile, in Midland, Central State, inside the picturesque Benton family estate, a man under 30 years old sat shirtless on a wooden boat in the middle of a lake, meditating with his eyes closed.

Though seated cross-legged, his height was evident—he was at least six feet tall. His bare upper body showcased beautiful, taut muscles, radiating a sense of immense power.

This man was none other than Everett Benton, who was ranked sixth in the Tiger Ranking and a future Dragon Ranking powerhouse.

After about half an hour, Everett slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was unbelievably bright, almost glowing, making it hard for others to meet his eyes directly.

"The Spirit of Life Serum is truly extraordinary. Just one bottle was enough to wash away all of the impurities in my body. What a treasure! What an absolute treasure!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately said, "In that case, we can't leave Myth Group in the hands of the Norberg family. At the very least, we should control two-thirds of the Spirit of Life Serum's distribution."

Everett nodded in agreement. "You're right. The Norberg family isn't worthy of such a treasure. The Spirit of Life Serum must be under our control! Mr. Frye, I'll leave the matter to you.

"If the Norberg family doesn't cooperate, I don't mind you teaching them a lesson they will never forget. Let them understand who truly rules the southeast."

As he spoke, a flash of killing intent flickered in Everett's eyes. It was clear that he didn't see the Norberg family as an ally at all. Besides, even if he did, he was willing to cast them aside for the Spirit of Life Serum.

Just as Hosea Frye was about to respond, his phone rang. After answering the call, his expression changed drastically.

"Mr. Benton, it seems we won't need to threaten the Norberg family after all. Something has happened in the Eastern State."
