Love At The Wrong Table

Facing the Storm Fletcher vs Siver

The man leading the way was dressed in a military uniform, with another

rugged, muscular man behind him. The latter’s deeply tanned skin and cold,

sharp gaze made him seem particularly intimidating

“That’s Lieutenant Colonel Gerald Cook from the Silver Fox Military

“And the man with him? I heard he’s Robert Rodrick, a legendary instructor

from abroad!”

“Robert Rodrick? Is that for real? He’s the renowned chief instructor of the

Griffin Corps!”

“D*mn! I didn’t expect the Silver Fox Military to have such extensive

connections!”

Members of the Fletcher Family exchanged anxious whispers, their faces

betraying fear. As businessmen, they felt powerless against these

battle–hardened men, who not only had strong backing but also

commanded troops with impunity in Yeringham.

What could they possibly do? In the end, the saying-“a scholar can’t argue

with a soldier“-definitely applied to their situation.

“Lieutenant Colonel Cook, why have you brought your troops to the Fletcher

Family?” Riley asked, biting the bullet.

“Old Mr. Fletcher, hasn’t your steward told you? Or are you just pretending not

to know?” Gerald retorted with arrogance, disregarding the fact that Fletcher

was the head of a prominent business family in Eldoria. To him, these wealthy

families seemed as fragile as paper, easily flattened by his power and

military strength.

Riley’s expression grew cold. Although the Fletcher family couldn’t confront

the Silver Fox Military directly, they still had some recourse. If the situation

escalated and attracted media attention, there would surely be a backlash

against the Silver Fox Military’s actions.

“Gerald, don’t push us too far! Eldoria is a law–abiding society, and we are

respectable business leaders. We also control several media outlets. We will

ensure you face the consequences if you harm our people without cause!” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Jake stepped forward, pointing angrily at him. As he spoke, people around

them started recording videos as evidence,

Gerald, however, laughed disdainfully, “Oh, trying to threaten us with the

media? Just so you know, the Silver Fox Military has a partnership with the

Eldoria government and is authorized to patrol and train within the city. What

can you do about it?”

Jake and the others were infuriated by his arrogant demeanor. However,

they felt utterly powerless, knowing that Teddy and the Quill Family

manipulated the situation behind the scenes.

“Stop talking nonsense. Let’s get to the point!”

Gerald responded haughtily, “Starcrest Port is now under the control of the

Eldoria authorities. The Fletcher family must evacuate immediately or face

the consequences!”

“That’s absurd! The Quill family is clearly eyeing our dock! They’ve fabricated official documents to have the Eldoria authorities requisition our port at a low

price, with plans to transfer it to the Quill family later, right?” Jake shot back

angrily.

Riley joined in furiously, “The Quill family used the same tactic to seize the

Stewart family’s dock before. Are they trying to pull the same trick on us?”

“We will not be intimidated! Your villainous actions would be exposed!” The

members of the Fletcher Family were furious and filled with righteous

indignation.

Ignoring their shouts and curses, Gerald waved his hand. A squad of soldiers forcefully made their way in, confiscating all the phones and cameras from

the Fletcher Family members. They also ruthlessly destroyed all the recording,

equipment.

“This is outrageous! They’re going too far! We’re going to fight back!” Riley,

maintaining his dignity as one of Eldoria’s elite families, couldn’t just stand by

while they were being bullied.

However, their bodyguards had just been subdued by Emmanuel and Sage.

The remaining guards hadn’t had a chance to regroup before Robert

charged in, kicking down a large group.

Soon after, countless gun barrels were pointed at the Fletcher Farmilly, making

them too afraid to move.

“Ah, Mr. Rodrick, you are indeed as imposing and renowned as your

reputation suggests!” Gerald praised Robert effusively. He had been his

instructor during his military days abroad, and due to his mentorship, Gerald

had risen to a prominent position in the Silver Fox Military.

In many ways, Robert had supported Gerald.

With a cold and proud demeanor, Robert responded, “I am greatly

disappointed in the Fletcher Family. Not a single one of you is worth fighting!

The Fletcher Family members were seething with rage but felt utterly

powerless.
