206 Going Too Far
At this moment, the plane that was flying from Federal City to Las Vegas was filled with people from the Zhou Corporation, including He Sheng, the lawyer, and a group of bodyguards.
As the sky darkened, the plane slowly landed at the airport.
Zhou Xuan, who was at the hotel, also received the news.
[President Zhou, we’ve secretly arrived in Las Vegas. We’re waiting for your instructions.]
Zhou Xuan looked at the news in his hand and narrowed his eyes. The corners of his lips curled into a faint smile, emitting a cold aura.
The next day, Zhou Xuan instructed the others to enter the hotel and its surroundings in batches so that it would be easier for them to counter-surveillance. Those who entered the hotel had to inquire about the hotel structure in advance and find the place where everyone was imprisoned and the flow of guards. They had to be prepared to rescue them at any time within a few days.
Victor also came to the hotel for the last time before the family banquet began.
“Did the three of them do anything unusual today?”
The assistant approached him and bent down. “There’s no problem, Young Master. President Zhou and the others have been in the room the entire time. They occasionally look at their phones. It looks like they’re about to compromise. As for that woman, she makes some sounds in the room from time to time. Most of the time, she’s sleeping.”
“It’d better be like you said. Don’t have any sudden problems, or you’ll be in trouble.”
With that, Victor left to attend the family banquet.
In the night, the light around the villa was especially dazzling. It was hidden by the verdant trees and was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, giving people a relaxed and happy feeling.
Luxury cars were parked in front of the villa. When Victor arrived, people quickly came to greet him.
“Young Master, how have you been?”
“Victor, how’s the project going?”
“Young Master, are you confident in the upcoming competition?”
…
When he saw that the people around his brother were taking the initiative to approach him, he felt very refreshed. He knew in his heart that these people had chosen their masters in advance. The more people who approached him, the more people who supported him.
After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Victor casually picked up a glass of red wine and slowly came to his brother’s side.
“Carter, it’s okay. Don’t be sad.” There was a hint of mockery in Victor’s tone. He shook the wine glass in his hand and said, “Don’t blame them. They just chose someone more suitable to be the patriarch. Acknowledge reality.”
“Brother, don’t be happy too early.” There was obvious nervousness in Carter’s eyes. “Father’s final selection hasn’t been made yet. Don’t make it seem like the patriarch is already you. If not for the dirty methods you used, I would have been in charge of this project.”
“Don’t frame me. It’s just fair competition. How did it become dirty when I won it? If you win me over, can I say the same about you?” Victor’s lips curled into an evil smile. “When my project is completed, there will be more supporters in the family. Let’s see who Father will give the title of successor to.”
Carter’s eyes flashed with coldness. “You should know best how many of your past projects were completed. Is it really a fair contract or is it forced?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a moment of panic flashed across Victor’s eyes. The raising of the price must not be discovered. His father hated people who cheated the most.
“What’s wrong? Did I really hit a nerve and stop you from talking?” Carter’s words pressed on.
Victor didn’t say anything else. He finished more than half the red wine in his hand and deliberately left a little. He stared into his brother’s eyes and slowly poured it on his shoes when no one was looking.
“Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to slip my hand.” Victor made an innocent face and said weakly, “I don’t have a good back. Just wipe it yourself, brother.”
Carter’s anger instantly reached its peak. He stared coldly at Victor, as if he was on fire. However, in public, he endured it and had no choice but to bend down with a piece of paper.
