Life at the Top

The fall of the Hanks family caused an uproar within the entire Southeast Province.

It was abrupt and under the intervention of the Provincial High Court where all courthouses in prefecture-level cities within the province were to investigate all of the Hanks family’s assets.

Seeing the red tape that sealed off the Hanks family’s properties, people could not help but remember how the Hanks family had blindly attacked JW Real Estates’ projects. In the end, JW Real Estates stood strong while the Hanks family had fallen.

Everyone could not help but look in the direction of JW Real Estates. No one dared to look down on this company anymore.

They knew that change was about to hit Southeast Province.

At Nauritus City in the provincial capital, in the study of Monty Manor.

Conrad had his hands under his chin as he listened to his subordinate’s report.

“Mr. Monty, that’s basically the situation now. All members of the Hanks family have already left Southeast Province last night. They’ve all gone to other places and some even left the country. It seems like it’s truly over for them.”

Conrad was unfazed, and there was no sign of mirth nor anger in his eyes.

“What about Sirius?” he asked faintly.

“Unreachable. He’s completely dropped off the grid and our people are unable to find any traces of him,” the subordinate replied carefully. He was afraid that his inability to trace Sirius would irk his employer.

Conrad separated his hands and pulled out a cigar from his drawer. Cutting it carefully, he spoke with his head still down, “It’s not your fault. Sirius had spent decades working in Southeast Province, after all. It’s only normal for him to have a few methods to save himself at such a time. If he truly wishes to run, then there’s no holding him back.”

“Should we continue searching for him?” the subordinate asked, exhaling a breath of relief.
