Unrivalled God of War

Chapter 111

In the span of two days, the Smiths had lost several hundred million, which was nearly half of their assets.

Samuel smiled bitterly as he voiced his thoughts, “Dad, there’s no need to even think about it. Someone is putting pressure on us.”

Sean roared in anger, “Who would dare to do such a thing?”

The eldest son answered with a crying face, “Who else but the Logan family? They probably blame us for the death of Kenneth Logan!”

Sean snapped at his son as he growled angrily, “I let you handle this matter because I thought you could do it well. Look at what you’ve done now! You got Gabriel Logan’s precious son killed! The Smith family is in deep trouble this time.”

Samuel gritted his teeth as he bit out, “We can’t just stand around and do nothing while the Logans do this to us!”

Raising an eyebrow, Sean asked, “What do you have in mind?”

“Dad, do you know the Zabinski family of The Southern Four?”

The old man’s eye widened. “Of course I know who they are. The Logan family is practically a third-rate family compared to the Zabinski family.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Samuel grinned slyly as he explained, “Remember the last king of the Channing underworld, Novem? He was a part of the Zabinski family too.

“When Dunn eliminated Novem and took over his empire, he forbad the Channing underworld from partaking in any gray businesses. I’m not sure if you know this, but the Zabinski family has fingers in nearly all the gray businesses in the South. What Dunn had done was basically cutting off their source of income in Channing. I’ve heard the Zabinski family have already sent someone here to deal with Cross and Dunn.”

Frowning in confusion, Sean said, “What does the Zabinski family going after Dunn and Cross got to do with the Logan family coming after us?”

Samuel chuckled as he replied, “Dad, since we can’t do anything against the Logan family ourselves, we might as well seek refuge with the Zabinski family. Even though we’ll have to hand in a portion of our profits yearly, at the very least we’ll be under their protection.”

A thoughtful silence descended upon Sean as he mulled this idea over. Finally, he sighed. “Seems like we have no other choice anyway. You can go and talk to the Zabinski family on this matter.”

Samuel was surprised to get his father’s permission so he quickly agreed, “Okay. I know Jerry Zabinski should be here in Channing already. I’ll go visit him now.”

On a luxury yacht in the middle of Moonlight Bay in Channing.

Dressed only in a pair of boardshorts, Jerry Zabinski was lounging back in a beach chair on the deck. There was a pair of sunglasses perched on his nose as he clutched a flute of champagne.

Several beauties massaged his back and legs while a few intimidating looking bodyguards stood a little further away.

Samuel was standing before Jerry respectfully with a stack of ledgers in his hands.

Jerry narrowed his eyes at the man in front of him. “If the Zabinski family is to become your patron, you’ll need to pay us half the profits you earn yearly. Naturally, you’ll receive our protection in return. I can guarantee you nobody would dare to trouble you in the future.”

A simpering smile appeared on Samuel’s face as he thanked the man.

Jerry crooked a finger at one of his men, who instantly brought over a contract for Samuel to sign. Once the contract was signed, the Zabinski family was officially the patron for the Smith family.

Jerry exclaimed as they toasted each other, “Congratulations! To our future cooperation!”

“To our future cooperation!” echoed Samuel.

Taking a deep gulp of the champagne, Samuel spoke up carefully, “Mr. Zabinski, Gabriel Logan is blaming my family for the death of his son and has vowed to take his revenge on us. What do you think we should do?”

Jerry answered steadily, “Relax. I heard he’s coming to Channing now with all of his best fighters to kill Dunn and Cross. I’ll let him do the dirty work for me. Once he gets rid of them, I’ll just pop in and say hello. He’ll not trouble you any further when he finds out you’ve taken refuge with us.”

Samuel was delighted and he bowed. “Thank you, Mr. Zabinski!”
