Jack looked at Jim Zhuge who was in front of him. There was a lot of doubt in his mind.

This...is this a man or a woman?

Jim was slim with fair skin. Dashing facial features and smooth eyes. His face even looks childish. That person wore a business suit and hairstyle with bangs and exuded a suave manner. Because of his position, Jack can't see if Jim's throat has a jakun. But asking someone's gender directly is rude and inappropriate.

"Mr Hughes, have you seen enough?" Suddenly, an interesting and smoky voice sounded.

Men! Jack saw it now.

But then, tongue, suave demeanor, smoky voice, this Jim must be a female assassin!

"Cough cough ..." Jack laughed awkwardly and asked, "What brought the Zhuge noble family here?"

"Partnership."

Jim got to the point. Bright glistening eyes stared at Jack, "The Zhuge family is willing to help you exterminate the Quinn family for revenge. When this is done, my Zhuge family wants to become the richest family in X City."

There are no unnecessary words. Nothing else was said and everything went straight to the point.

His honesty amazed Jack. Jack had never seen someone as direct as himself.

But, Jack smiled strangely, "I don't mean to eliminate the Quinn family but we can start a partnership."

Jim frowned doubtfully, "The Quinn and you are like fire and water now. If you don't intend to eliminate Quinn, then how can our partnership begin?"

"Our partnership has begun while you're here." Jack smiled deeply and waved, "Bring these words to your family head. I will speak directly if I need the help of the Zhuge family."

Jim's eyes sparkled as he pondered but he nodded as he stood up and said, "To express our sincerity, the Zhuge family would like to invite you to TY Villa."

As it says. Yael who was sitting at the side looked at Jack excitedly. Jack smiled and shook his head to refuse. He beckoned Tom to see the guest out.

As soon as Jim left, Yael felt sad and asked, "Why don't you agree to go? That TY villa is a very interesting and fun place!"

"I knew as soon as I saw that your eyes were almost sticking out about what place it was. I have a family now and Amber is waiting for me at home." Jack rolled his eyes, looked at Brent as he stood up, and continued, "But if you really want to go, you can ask Brent to go with you."

Brent's eyebrows twitched and stood up, "I've got Daisy, only those who are single will enjoy this."

Yael's face flushed and stood still. Jack also started laughing. He turned to look at Jim walking out and his gaze deepened and smiled.

"When the Quinn family was destroyed, someone would eventually emerge as the richest. Even if I don't help the Zhuge family, they will most likely be the ones. It's better to make friends and that's to our advantage. The Zhuge family has visited me, the Quinn family must be worried by now." This is Jack's mind. With such consideration his meeting with Jim lasted so short.

It was peaceful for the night.

The next morning, several other wealthy families from X City came to visit Jack. But Jack had already instructed Tom to hold off all visitors outside. All the help he needs for revenge can be given by the Zhuge family. If he received too many of these visitors, he would not only be distracted, but it could also cause the Zhuge family to doubt his sincerity.

The old master was a pillar of the Quinn family and now even the pillar was trembling. Adults are even more anxious and depressed. The scene at the birthday party was like a nightmare and replayed in their minds.

Everyone knew that Jack was like a sharp sword and would immediately slice the old master's neck. The old master's behavior made everyone lose hope.

In a dimly lit room.

Old Master Quinn is exhausted. He had practically not slept for three days. Never had he been so broken. He can't remember how many times he ordered Morrison to contact Madam Hughes. But each time a failed call pushes him further into the depths of despair.

Without coordinating with Madam Hughes, any action against Jack would have infuriated Patrick. They had agreed to cooperate but now Madam Hughes could not be reached at the most critical moment. This put Old Master Quinn in a bad place and he felt like he was being roasted over an open fire.

"Dad, I've tried to contact her over a thousand times. Why don't we give up?" Morrison said helplessly. In these three days, all he did was contact Madam Hughes.

"Rush?" Old Master Quinn glared at Morrison angrily with his red eyes, "Do you want me to give up on the Quinn family? Or are you ready for the Quinn family crippled or devastated?

"Morrison was frightened by the reprimand, clenched his teeth, and did not reply. Although his abilities were limited, as the eldest of the family, some of his information came directly from Old Master Quinn.

Although the Quinn family was the richest in X City when compared to the Hughes family... That was why his father was so scared this time. This was the first time he had seen his father lose control of the situation.

"Call on!" Old Master Quinn was not ready to give up.

He struggles to build the Quinn family and become the richest in town. He cannot accept that the Quinn family will soon be destroyed by Jack.

Time passes steadily. Soon the sun sets in the west. That night fell. Within X City, all the attention of the wealthy family was focused on the Quinn X City family.

Stars filled the dark sky.

The lights were bright in the Quinn family but had lost the vitality of the past. The big house is lifeless. All the family members waited in fear. The Old Master's final decision will affect every member of the family!

"Dad, the phone worked!"

Old Master Quinn who had been in despair suddenly heard Morrison's words and seemed to be grasping a last glimmer of hope. He was so excited that he jumped up and lunged forward to pick up the phone.

"Mrs Hughes, I finally managed to contact you!" Her punishment released her stress and fear that was held back for three days.

Without a pause, he immediately said, "Jack is in X City and is eyeing the Quinn family. I've been waiting for your decision, if you have..."

But before he could finish it.

Old Master Quinn's expression changed drastically and became pale, white like a piece of paper.

A man's voice came over the phone, "My mother is praying."
