After the square-faced middle-aged man finished speaking, the crowd in the spacious hall immediately fell into a strange silence.
Smack!
Edmund slammed the table and was the first to fly into a rage. He glared at the person who spoke and snapped, “What did you say? How dare you be so disrespectful to Mr. Gray?!”
Damon also looked coldly at the middle-aged man. “Insulting Mr. Gray is unforgivable! Apologize now! Otherwise, you will be an enemy of the families in California!”
“Hah… Who are you to represent the families of California? Just with the title of the worthless Master of California that you keep talking about?” the middle-aged man with the squarish face said with contempt. “This is my territory. It’s not up to you two outsiders from California to tell me what to do! And
you want me to apologize? No way!”
Edmund was so livid at this man’s careless attitude that his face turned blue. It was the same for Damon.
“We are the honored guests specially invited by Mr. Campbell. So you can tell him that we outsiders aren’t in any place to interject!
“Besides, Mr. Gray isn’t someone people like you can criticize and insult as you please. You don’t even have the right to talk about him!” Edmund said furiously.
“How dare you?!” The middle-aged man was enraged and slammed his hand against the table.
Bang!
With the slamming of his hand, a shocking crack appeared on the solid rosewood table with a thickness of about six centimeters. Countless pieces of debris flew up and scattered everywhere.
“ant”
“Waahhh!”
The few people sitting on the edge of the conference table screamed and took several steps backward, their faces full of shock.
The slap from the square-faced middle-aged man actually broke the sturdy conference table in half!
This scene shocked countless people around.
It was a thick solid wood conference table with a thickness of about six centimeters and made of a hard material. Yet the middle-aged man’s casual slap smashed it into pieces like it was a piece of tofu.
Edmund and Damon were also shocked.
Not everyone could do this!
‘The atmosphere in the hall was stifling for a while before Noah finally said, “Master Lewis, please calm down on my account. Don’t get too worked up.”
“Hmph, okay, for your sake, I won’t hold it against these two dogs. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t spare them!” The square-faced middle-aged man known as Lewis glanced at Edmund and Damon with a hostile gaze, his tone full of contempt and derision.
But it seemed that Noah didn’t hear the insults in Lewis’s words. Instead, he smiled and called his men to come over and clean up the messy venue.
This time, Edmund and Damon both look displeased.
Lewis, who had been sitting beside Noah from the beginning, was obviously an expert who worked for the Campbells.
But when Lewis insulted Lucas, Noah didn’t stop him. Instead, he merely asked him to calm down after he broke the table in half.
Afterward, he even turned a deaf ear to Lewis’s blatant humiliation to the two of them.
Based on their actions just now, Edmund and Damon could conclude that the purpose of Noah’s invitation to them was definitely not for them to work together to deal with their common enemy, the Peerless Martial Association. Instead, he had another purpose.
Noah glanced at the helmsmen of the powerful families in the meeting hall and said indifferently, “Since Mr. Gray is not here yet, we don’t have to wait for him. The meeting shall proceed.”
After Lewis revealed himself, Noah’s attitude changed drastically.
Before, Noah had had an easygoing and benevolent attitude, like he was a nice brother. But now, he was ambitious and domineering, and he no longer cared about anyone’s opinions.
He was like a beast that had been hibernating for a long time finally revealing its true colors.
In this regard, not only Edmund and Damon but also the other helmsmen attending the confereince felt this way.
But these powerful families of Oregon didn’t say much about it.
After all, after the destruction of the Ledgers, the former top family in Oregon, the Campbells became the strongest.
Noah said proudly, “Although the Peerless Martial Association is aggressive, it’s a great opportunity!
“We all know that just over ten years ago, California and Oregon were originally one, and this time, we will unite again too!”
Edmund’s expression changed slightly, and he laughed coldly. “Mr. Campbell, what do you mean by uniting again?”
Noah smiled. “Naturally, it’s for our two states to unite under the command of a certain force.”
“Mr, Campbell, you have quite a big appetite. Don’t forget. There’s still the Peerless Martial Association waiting in front of you. It’s too early to say that!” Edmund mocked.
Noah laughed indifferently. “It’s not that I have a big appetite, but it’s just a natural reaction since things have come to this!
“Nowy, it’s almost beyond doubt that the Peerless Martial Association is going to fight against us, and it’s either us or the Peerless Martial Association that wins.
“If it’s the latter, we don’t have to say anything else. We’ll all just be under the Peerless Martial Association’s command.”
Noah’s eyes were full of a scheming gaze.
Edmund frowned. “We naturally want to remain status quo! The two states will deal with matters within their own matters without interfering with each other!”
Noah shook his head. “That’s impossible! If the Campbells fight hard against the Peerless Martial Association and end up winning, won’t you people of California just take advantage without putting in any effort? How can there be such a good thing?!”
“Hah, Mr. Campbell, the competition with the Peerless Martial Association hasn’t even started yet, but you’re already thinking about how to divide the pie later. You’re even trying to interfere in the affairs of the California families. Aren’t you being too hasty?”
Edmund looked coldly at Noah. “One more thing, Mr. Campbell, if you’re bent on taking things that don’t belong to you, what makes you different from the Peerless Martial Association?”
Damon suddenly burst into laughter and interjected, “Mr. Cole, you have no idea that there’s an obvious difference between the Campbells and the Peerless Martial Association! At least, the Peerless Martial Association is much stronger than the Campbells. The Peerless Martial Association, however, is far
inferior to the Campbells in terms of shamelessness!”
“Hahahah, Mr. Parker, you’re right!”
Damon and Edmund immediately fell out with the Campbells and mocked them for being shameless.
Noah’s face turned gloomy, and a hostile gaze appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, Master Lewis, sitting next to him, said mnhappily, “Mr. Campbell, I told you long ago that we don’t need to bother about these disobedient people. We just have to kill them! I promise the rest will be obedient then..”
