The Established Siblings Of The Pack

Chapter 40

“F*ck, he’s cocky!” At that, Peter sized Kingsley up with both hands in his pockets. “To think a piece of trash like you dares to wreak havoc during Mr. Summers’ birthday banquet!”“And who are you?” Kingsley looked at the young man with a frown.“I am Peter Lawson, the second young master of the Lawson Family!” Peter slapped Kingsley’s shoulder with the back of his hand. “Young Master Caleb told me you strike hard and that you seem to be of the underworld. Surely you’ve heard about my family.”Kingsley flicked his hand away coldly and said, “The Lawson Family? Never heard of it. I suggest you don’t drag yourself into trouble!”“F*cking hell, you’ve never heard of the Lawson Family?!” Peter exploded as his eyes widened. “You’re not disregarding me on purpose, are you?!”His booming voice attracted a crowd, and amongst them, a young woman in a black leather jacket was watching with great interest.It was none other than Paige!She had been passing by and coincidentally saw the familiar Volkswagen Santana. Thus, she got out of her car to see what was going on.When the crowd heard Peter introducing himself, they began whispering among each other.“That’s the young master of the Lawson Family? Holy cow, the Lawson Family is big in Cleapolis!”“As if they’re just big. Rumor has it that they have connections to the underworld!”“Poor dude has met his doom. No doubt he’ll be mutilated if not beaten to death when he dares to mess with Mr. Lawson.”Everyone automatically assumed Kingsley was a penniless underclass when they saw the janky vehicle behind him.Clearly, the penniless loser had nothing on the influential young master!Meanwhile, Peter became even more rampant when he heard everyone extolling him, and he boasted with his nose in the air, saying, “You hear that? I’m not someone you can afford to mess with! Since Young Master Caleb has asked for my help, I will see to the end of it! If you kneel and apologize to Young Master Caleb, then offer a humble apology at the Summers Residence, I’ll spare your life!”However, Kingsley only looked indifferently at him, having not a sliver of emotions beneath his eyes. “Is your family really that powerful?”“Hahaha!” Peter guffawed as though he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. “Have you never heard of the Lawsons on the news? Don’t tell me you can’t even afford a phone!”At that, the crowd burst into laughter.It was indeed ridiculous that someone could be this disconnected from society when the media

was practically everywhere!“In that case, I’ll be kind and enlighten you!” Peter puffed his chest. “Have you heard about the newly emerged Coliree Group? Let me tell you that the Lawsons have gotten invitations for their pre-bid conference through internal sources! Now, do you know how powerful we are?”Gasps and exclamations echoed amongst the crowd following Peter’s words. Following Coliree Group’s aggressive emergence in Cleapolis, it had become the talk of the town lately.Now, the whole city knew how deep this mysterious megacorporation’s pocket was.Anyone who could associate themselves with this company would surely rise to the top overnight!When the crowd heard the Lawsons had already gotten the invitations through internal sources, they couldn’t help being impressed and envious.Even Caleb was shocked. “Peter, has your family gotten the invitations?!”“Naturally!” Peter nodded smugly.“Coliree Group’s pre-bid conference?” Kingsley quirked his brow. “Is it impressive to be able to join this conference?”The so-called pre-bid conference was merely a few collaboration projects Lancer had randomly thrown out as red herring.This wasn’t at all the focus of their job, but who’d have thought a mere invitation would be so valuable and hard to get for these outsiders.“What did you just say? Is it impressive?!” Peter looked at Kingsley like he was an idiot. “There’s only so many in Solaris Province who’d get the chance to attend, yet my family managed to get two invitations. You tell me if it’s impressive!”Caleb sniggered in response. “Why bother explaining so much? As if a loser like him would get it!”Kingsley smirked and suggested to Peter, “Since this invitation is so valuable, I’ll give you a chance. If you kneel, apologize to me, and get out of my sight, I can reconsider withdrawing your invitation.”Kingsley pretty much threw Peter’s threat back at himself.“What did you just say?!” It took Peter a second to process what Kingsley just said before he held his belly and laughed. “Hahaha, you’ve got to be kidding me! You, withdraw my family’s invitation? What a joke!”Likewise, Caleb guffawed. “You think you’re some big shot, f*cker?! What do you have to bullsh*t?!”Even the crowd burst into laughter, for no one believed Kingsley could do as he said.“Hahaha, the best surely live amongst the folks. This dude sure can boast.”“If he gets a say in Coliree Group’s invitations, I’ll set up a live stream and eat sh*t!”At that, the crowd ridiculed and guffawed.However, Kingsley only looked coldly at Peter. “Don’t believe me? I just have to make a call, but it’s up to you whether the Lawson Family gets to rise to the top or lose this opportunity!”In other

words, it all came down to either Peter leaving without a word or refusing to apologize.“Hahaha, f*cking hell, are you a stand-up comedian?! You sure know how to make people laugh!” Peter was laughing so much that he was tearing up. “If your phone call can really have my family’s invitation withdrawn, I’ll do as they say. Heck, I’ll set up a live stream and eat sh*t!”“Alright, those are your words, not mine!” Without saying more, Kingsley pulled his phone out and called Lancer. “Withdraw the Lawson Family’s invitations, stat!”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
