Chapter 860
Duncamanthis posse entered the Lee family residence. Olivia smiled
and welcomed them, “Mr. Duerson, your visit is an honor. Please
forgive us formant meeting you at the gates.”
Duncan smiled politely, hands in his pocket. “I came uninvited, Ms.
Olivia, please don’t mind.”
Olivia bowed respectfully. “I’ve had some tea prepared. Please have
some, Mr. Duerson
Duncan felt extremely comfortable here. Olivia was the daughter-in- law of the Lee family, one of the
top ten families in Capiton. She was
well-received in the businesss community in Jonford. In the past, she looked down on him, but now she
had towered herself humbly before
him, just like how she treated Wash with respect. This was what he
wanted to achieve.
In the living room, Duncan and his three associates sat on th
drinking tea. Duncan frowned andated, its your father not at

walk. I am in charge of both the family and the company.
Duncan relaxed his brows and then explained the purpose of his v “I have established a Jonford
Business Alliance. Currently, the
Watsons and the Zells have contributed 70% of the shares as startu
acapital. Would you be interested in joining Was Olivia?”
DIOlivia was Theo’s woman. Although she no longer ffeared the Skye
afamily, she also did not want to invite unnecessaryytrouble. She
planned to expand the business alliance to Capiton once she
established her influence in the Jonford business community.
Smiling, Olivia said, “Sure, Mr. Duerson, just give me the contract.”
She understood she could not resist the Duerson family. With the
Watson and Zell family already having lost, she had little choice but
to comply.
Duncan had someone hand over the contract to Olivia. Glancing over
it casually, she noted that it was about developing Jonford. Duncan
had established a business alliance to support small and medium-
sized enterprises in Jonford using startup capital contributed by
various families. In case of the alliance’s closure, the risk would be
shared among the families. The profits, however, were not explicitly
mentioned.
In essence, this was an excuse for a robbery.
Olivia sighed inwardly and picked up a pen to sign her name at the
designated place. Duncan took the contract, smiled satisfactorily,
and said, “You’re a wise person. Come to the Business Alli or
tea when you have time!”
With that, he stood up and left.
It was only after they left the estate that Olivia took out her pho
call Theo.
“I already know what happened,” came Theo’s deep voice over the
phone. He sounded a little helpless.
“Duncan’s ambitions go far beyond this. Once he dominates the
business community in Jonford, he might turn his attention to the top

ten families in Capiton!” Olivia said seriously.
Theo sneered, “The storms in Capiton are fierce. If he comes, he’ll

the surface!”
“Do we have no response from the National Martial Bureau and the Special Security Department?”
Olivia asked again.
Crackle! The sound of a lighter came from the other end of the phone.
Theo took a deep drag on his cigarette and said with concern, “There
are some conflicts between the National Martial Bureau and Nash.
Until Nash is dealt with, the National Martial Bureau won’t intervene.”
Olivia smiled coldly and remarked, “We’re in such a critical moment, yet these people act like children.”
Theo chuckled. “Nash must have given them a good slap on the face.
They’ll leave this mess in Jonford to him to handle.”
After chatting for a while, they ended the call. Olivia sat blankly in the living room, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Duncan and his group returned to the estate. It was already two in the afternoon.
“It’s getting late; let’s head to the Sigur Cliff now,” Peter suggested.
Boris turned to The Swordsman and said, “Have you contacted the
two mountain masters?”
Worried that the National Martial Bureau might intervene, they
planned to invite the leaders of Black Wind Mountains to sit in. Since
Boris had less influence in the Black Wind Mountains, The
Swordsman took charge of contacting the Black Wind Double Kill.
