The Conglomerate is the God of War

Dark Clouds Above the City

Heavy rains still fell over the Central Hunga Region, covering a vast expanse of land that includes Qamond and even Aramend hundreds of miles away.

At a hotel in downtown Aramend, Pantheon No. 1 goes to do his job after calming down Vivian and Shirl. It was not until noon that Shirl woke up again, and the first thing she did was run to the hotel entrance. He crouched at the door, staring at the rain outside. She would not leave no matter how Vivian persuaded her because she wanted to wait for her father.

Seeing Shirl crouching at the entrance of the hotel and not listening to her words, Vivian felt a deep sadness. He feels that there is a high chance Tyler will not return but he does not know how to explain it Chief Shirl.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, she felt worse for her daughter. "Shirl, didn't Pantheon No. 1 say that even though Dad would be back, he would need at least two or three days? He won't be back today. The rain is getting heavier, so hurry back inside. Wait for me inside, okay?"

Shirl shook her head while smiling. "it's okay Mom. I'm waiting here just in case Dad gets home early and has to go upstairs to look for me. That's why I'll be waiting for him here. This way, he will see me as soon as he returns. Ma'am, go up and rest if you're tired.I'll wait for you here.."

Shirl smiled as she said this but her eyes filled with her longing for her father when looking out the door. He had a hunch that his father would come back and see him today.

Just then, Vivian felt a pain in her eyes. He lifted his head and tried his best not to cry in front of his daughter. Suppressing her heartache, she continued to persuade Shirl. "Listen to me, Shirl. You have to believe in Pantheon No. 1. I'm not coming back today..."

Shirl raised her small head to look at Vivian. "Mom, I have a hunch that Dad will be back today. Really am! My gut is always accurate. Last night, I had a hunch that Dad would show up. He showed up and beat up the bad guys, really! Mom, my gut feeling is always right! I will definitely be back today. You have to trust me, Mom..."

Vivian looked at Shirl for a while before nodding and smiling. "OKAY. I believe you, Shirl. I'll be back today..."

He could not force himself to lie to his daughter again. He's just upset, really upset. She never thought that her four-year-old daughter would be so sensitive and aware of everything. Shirl will even hide her longing for her father from her past but she can't do it again since meeting Tyler last night. Shirl is desperate to have her father by her side.

"Tyler, oh, Tyler! Please come back safe! Got to! Or you may never know how much your daughter misses you!" Vivian gritted her teeth and tried her hardest not to cry out loud. Even so, he could not hide his sadness.

He took a deep breath. Seeing Shirl turning her attention outside the door again, she pulled out her phone and texted Yasmin: "Yasmin, you have to help me no matter what. You can ignore me but not Shirl. Shirl can't lose her father. I. I beg you..."

He even took a photo of Shirl and sent it to Yasmin afterwards.

Yasmin was standing at the door of a luxury villa in downtown Qamond, wearing a white dress. He lowered his head to read Vivian's writing; the first message, and then the second photo of Shirl. Then, he stood still on the spot for a very long time.

His father, Quentin Smith, had returned to Qamond at 8 a.m. He has told her about Tyler at once, begging her to help whatever happens. Quentin had told him to come out after listening to his explanation. His expression was very serious. Anyway, this is something very important. He never got along with Wilson Chilton but he also had concerns. He can't make up his mind even though Yasmin is asking for help.

Yasmin stared at Shirl's photo for 10 minutes before taking a deep breath. He gritted his teeth and responded to Vivian's message with a determined look. "Vivian, don't worry. I promised my dad I'd come out and help. He will!" He turned around and went back inside the villa to talk further with his father.

Quentin Smith was the second most influential person in Qamond, second only to Wilson Chilton.

The Smiths were also the only family on par with the Chilton family here. Their strength as a whole was weaker than that of Chilton, but to the inhabitants of Qamond, the difference in their strength was very small. What's more, Quentin has worked hard to grow their business, making the Smiths more prosperous at Qamond every day. Their business has even expanded beyond Qamond.

Quentin was contemplating on his own in studying their villa. She struggles to decide whether to answer her daughter's request to oppose the Chilton family. Being a sage like himself, he knew that two powerful forces could not rule supreme on the same land. Sooner or later, the Smiths must fight against the Chilton family. He understands this more than anyone. Even without this incident, he had plans to investigate how powerful and influential the Chilton family was.

Indeed, he had planned to visit the Chilton family and chat with Wilson Chilton before coming home. He just doesn't expect Tyler to do anything to Jarred, Wilson's only son and heir to Chilton's fortune! Of course, Jarred had always been trash to him. He will be the happiest of them all to see Jarrred inherit Chilton's business.

He could use any excuse that he wanted to interfere in the Chilton family affairs but Jarred was a complicated matter. In addition, he has received word that Wilson took action in full force tonight.

However, the cunning old Wilson was also well aware of his thoughts. In other words, regardless of whether he leaves Wilson or not, Wilson will come for him sooner or later. There is also a good chance that Wilson will take this opportunity to retaliate against the Smith family.

"Should I bet?" Quentin frowned deeply as he lit a cigarette and sucked deeply. Two minds were fighting in his mind: gambling or not gambling...

Suddenly, Yasmin pushed open the door of her study and knelt on the floor with a thud. His eyes were filled with determination.

The frown on Quentin's forehead deepened as he asked, "What are you doing, Yasmin? I never said I wasn't helping your friend! Why are you kneeling on the floor? Awake soon!"

Yasmin shook her head. "Dad, I know the dilemma. I'm not an idiot. I know what's going on. Sooner or later, our family will clash with the Chilton family because only one family can rise in Qamond! None of us can exist at the same time. Moreover, what I want to say is that even if you want to endure this, will Wilson Chilton give us time? He wouldn't. Dad, Wilson Chilton's not stupid..."

Quentin. "Minnie, you have to understand that our family will lose everything if we lose this gamble..."

Yasmin raised her head and smiled wryly at her father. "Haha... Dad, our family's long gone, isn't it? Haven't we lost since Wilson Chilton came to Qamond alone? And all the troops in Qamond know that I've let Vivian stay in our house for three days. If we don't do anything, will we get another chance in the future?"

Quentin's body is shaking. He looked at Yasmin for a moment before saying, "You... You let Vivian Galen stay in our villa?"

Yasmin lowered her head. "Yes Dad. Vivian has been living in our house for the past few days. And I was there when Tyler beat Jared Chilton until he was disabled..."

Quentin let out a long breath. "Yasmine! You've made a stupid mistake ..." His eyes reflected the complex feelings he had. At that moment, he understood everything.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I dragged you and our family into this. Excuse me. To be honest, I'm not just doing this to help Vivian. I want us to fight the Chilton family once and prove that we have done it. Dad, we don't have a choice. Sorry, sorry.." said Yasmin while shaking her head with a conflicted expression.

"You're right. We don't have a choice anymore.no more..." Quentin muttered softly and sank into silence while Yasmin continued to kneel on the floor

After a while, Quentin took a deep breath and stood up. In an indescribably imposing manner swelled up within him, he narrowed his eyes. "Yasmin, tell all the elders in the family to come to the hall for a meeting right now! Gather all our troops and rush to the lakeside villa! Didn't Wilson Chilton say that no one should interfere? Ha.. I want to see if the Chilton family can fool the public."

Yasmin's eyes immediately sparkled. Quentin's behavior is also getting stronger, so is his courage! He continued, "Everyone in Qamond seems to have forgotten that our family is a true force here and that Chilton is an outsider! Let's see if Wilson Chilton can beat me today!"

As the patriarch of the family, Quentin made up his mind as soon as he heard his daughter's words. He gave up once in his confrontation with Wilson Chilto over 10 years ago and let the latter trample on him all along. This time, he would not let his daughter give up either.

"Thank you, Dad! I will contact all the elders and tell them to come to the meeting immediately ..." Yasmin stood up happily. He ran out of the study room and started contacting everyone he had to. Of course, he was also very happy for his best friend.

He believed that once his father made a decision, he could do it!

Qamond was in total chaos. The Chilton family took action, and the Smith family moved as well. At the Constabulary, the Smiths arrived just as the Chilton family was leaving. Everything's messy.

Everyone made their preparations, waiting for nightfall.
