Chapter 1513: Stop The Cooperation!

Goode didn’t dare to conceal or add oil to the fire; he could only tell the truth because he was very clear that it was not difficult for his grandfather to find out the details of the matter with his power. Once it was revealed that he concealed something, Grandfather would think that he was lying and would likely be disappointed and dissatisfied by him. Not only did it not achieve the purpose of having his grandfather to stick up for him, but it was also difficult to say whether his grandfather would continue to treat him well in the future.

After Goode told Thomas about everything that had happened in the Butterfly Family in detail, Thomas nodded solemnly, “So, you broke into the Butterfly Family first?”

“Yes… I was reckless!” Goode couldn’t deny it. He bowed his head and admitted to it.

Thomas waved his hand; he was very satisfied with Goode’s attitude. Goode assumes responsibility for his mistakes, he is an upright man. Otherwise, it would be a waste for me to love him so dearly. What Thomas didn’t know was that Goode was acting pragmatically; it was precisely because he knew Thomas’ character that he did not reserve or conceal anything that he did!

Goode knew that he was wrong, but Thomas was an old man who fiercely protects his own family. Goode had suffered a great loss this time, Thomas would definitely stick up for him! If Thomas was a fair person who was clear about when to reward and when to punish, Goode would not be truthful; he would try his best to fabricate a lie and get revenge first.

“Although it was reckless for you to break into the Butterfly Family, it makes sense.” Thomas hesitated for a while and said, “Young people always do extraordinary things for love. As an elder, I understand! After all, who wasn’t young and frivolous once? Although you indeed did something wrong and ill-considered, it’s unacceptable for Wang Ruoshui as an elder of the Butterfly Family to hit you! If it was Butterfly Wang or her fiancé who hit you, I really can’t say anything. After all, it is inappropriate for me as an elder to participate in a duel between juniors! Gentlemen can reflect between themselves, but as for Wang Ruoshui hitting you when you are not her opponent, it has nothing to do with teaching a lesson. She is obviously bullying you.”

Goode smiled slightly after listening to Thomas. It seems that I am right this time. Grandpa surely won’t let the matter drop. It seems that the Butterfly Family will have trouble.

“Indeed, if Little Butterfly’s fiance and I could duel fairly, I think that I will not lose to him!” Goode nodded and said.

“However, you have made a mistake first after all. Although our Lancer Family has hundreds of years of history and we are not afraid of the Butterfly Family, this reason is not sufficient to take action against them.” Although Thomas seemed to be protective toward his family, he was not arrogant to the point that he thought he was invincible. It seemed that he still had a lot of fear towards the Butterfly Family.

Goode’s heart tightened, but he didn’t dare to say a word. He raised his head and looked at Thomas nervously, waiting for his final decision.

“Furthermore, the strength of the Butterfly Family is not weak. In the end, a situation with no winners will likely occur.” Thomas sighed slightly, “In these years, the Lancer Family has had business dealings with the Butterfly Family, so we know about their strength.”

Goode couldn’t help but feel disappointed after hearing Thomas’s words. It seemed that Thomas didn’t want to go against the Butterfly Family.

“Grandpa, I have a good suggestion. I don’t know if it should be said or not.” Wich, who had stood silently at the side for a long time, spoke up when he noticed that Thomas felt wrong in his heart.

” Oh? Wich, you might as well speak if you have something to say. You have a say in the family meeting, not to mention that this is just a private conversation.” Thomas made a gesture to signal Wich to speak his mind.

“Grandpa, since the Butterfly Family is not weak, it is quite unwise for us to fight against them. However, we can punish them slightly and force them to suffer in silence!” Wich said. “Grandpa, don’t we have business dealings with the Butterfly Family?”

Goode’s heart moved and he immediately understood the specific content of Wich’s proposal; it was to cut off the firearms supply to the Butterfly Family. This was an idea that he had before, so he immediately expressed a hopeful expression when he heard Wich say it.

” Oh? You mean to stop cooperating with the Butterfly Family?” Thomas was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood Wich’s meaning, “Cutting off their firearms supply is like cutting off their left and right arms. This proposal is really good!”

In fact, how could Thomas, as the head of the family, not think of such a simple and clear idea? He just didn’t think in this direction before. When he saw Goode beaten by the Butterfly Family’s Wang Rusohui, Thomas thought of how to fight back to give her a taste of her own medicine; he did not think of using other means.

Goode’s lips secretly twitched. He had thought of this idea a long time ago. What’s so great about your idea, Wich? But he was calm on the surface and found it meaningless to fight for credit with Wich since both sides had no conflict of interest at all. On the contrary, it was better to tighten their relationship. Therefore, Goode also praised Wich after he spoke up, “Cousin Wich is really great! Both Grandpa and I were thinking about how to take revenge on Wang Ruoshui, but your method can force the Butterfly Family to suffer a loss in silence. After all, we are the ones who decide who the Lancer Family will cooperate with, so no one can find fault with this!”

How could Wich not know that Goode was deliberately praising him in front of Grandpa? However, he also knew that Goode was doing this to have a better relationship with him. Both were the future successors of their respective families, so there was no harm in them having a good relationship. So, Wich accepted the praise happily but humbly said, “This is just a small conspiracy. It’s better kept under the table!”

“No!” Thomas waved his hand and said, “You can’t say that. Regardless of whether it’s a conspiracy or an overt plot, it is excellent as long as the goal is achieved. Wich, it seems that you have matured a lot these years, and you know how to deal with those who are against the family!”

Wich was immediately happy. His grandfather had praised him for this, apparently affirming his ability, “Grandpa has taught me well, so I understood.”

” Hmph, Butterfly Family, without the supply of weapons from the Lancer Family, I don’t need to deal with you. In a few years, you would likely be reduced to a second-class assassin family. At that time, the Lancer Family doesn’t even need to take action; some of your old enemies will come for you.” Thomas had a cold smile on his face, “This matter should not be delayed. I’ll arrange it. I believe that once the Butterfly Family hears the news, it’ll be too late for them to cry.”

At the Butterfly Family, the phone in Wang Sonshan’s study suddenly rang. It’s already midnight, who would call at this time?

“I’ll take the call first.” Wang Songshan stood up with a bitter smile and said to Fang Tian and Wang Ruoshui who were at the side. They had discussed it for a long time, but could not come up with any good countermeasures. Now they could only hope that the Lancer Family would not stick up for Goode.

“Is it Mr. Wang Songshan of the Butterfly Family?” A voice that Wang Songshan was familiar with came over the phone, but the voice had changed from the usual enthusiasm; it seemed extremely indifferent at the moment.

After hearing this voice, Wang Songshan’s heart was filled with a chill feeling. He was clear about the identity of the other party. He had called in the middle of the night, so he must have an ulterior motive. From the indifferent attitude that the voice brought, Wang Songshan understood that the last thing he wanted to see was about to happen.

“It’s Butler Mitry! It’s so late is there anything wrong?” Wang Songshan politely said to the other person. He really couldn’t afford to offend this person; he was Butler Mitry of the Lancer family, the person in charge of dealing with the Butterfly Family.

“Mr. Wang, I called to inform you about something,” said Butler Mitry plainly. There was no trace of emotional fluctuation in his voice. “This year’s quota of special firearms is very small, so I am afraid that we have to stop the supply to your family…”

Wang Songshan’s heart suddenly thumped. What was supposed to happen has finally happened. Although he comforted himself many times that things might not be as bad as he had imagined, these concerns had become facts, and Wang Songshan had to accept the helpless reality in front of him.

“Butler Mitry… hasn’t our cooperation always been very pleasant?” Wang Songshan was suddenly pained in his heart; his voice trembled a little.

“Cooperation… You said it, it is a cooperation.” Butler Mitry’s voice still did not have a trace of emotion, “It is only when both parties agree that it’s called cooperation. Now that we have tight supplies, the cooperation is naturally over.”

“Butler Mitry, is there any room to maneuver?” Wang Songshan naturally did not believe Mitry’s far-fetched words. He clearly knew about the real reason; Mitry was just making an excuse.

“This is Master Thomas’ decision. I’m just conveying his decision to you.” Butler Mitry said, “Well, Mr. Wang, if there is nothing else, I will hang up. I’m sorry for interrupting your rest.”

“This…” However, before Wang Songshan could say anything else, the other party had already hung up. Wang Songshan looked at the phone in his hand, and his expression was unsightly.

The other party had finally made its move. No matter what, the other party didn’t let go of their revenge against us.

“Did it finally happen??” Fang Tian looked at the absent-minded Wang Songshan and sighed. He felt that his old friend had seemed to become much older.

“Unexpectedly, it was unavoidable in the end,” Wang Songshan put down the phone in his hand and looked numbly at Fang Tian, “It was a call from Butler Mitry of the Lancer family saying that this year’s quota for special firearms is insufficient. So they want to stop cooperating with our Butterfly Family…”

“Aren’t there any remedial measures?” Wang Ruoshui was also dejected with remorse and regret filling her heart. If she hadn’t hit Goode for quick satisfaction, then things most probably would not have developed to this exorbitant stage.

At most, it was enough to just argue with Goode for a while and shoo him away. Then, the Lancer Family might not do anything to the Butterfly Family, but now…

“I’ll lose this old face and call Thomas, the patriarch of the Lancer Family…” Wang Songshan didn’t know if this would work. ​​This was the first time that he had asked for help. When he established a cooperative relationship with the Lancer Family, he never lowered himself to curry favor.

Although Fang Tian wanted to help Wang Songshan do something, he was powerless. He had not run a family clan and had not dealt with the firearms suppliers of these large families. Knowing that he could not give any suggestions at this time, he could only watch the situation develop silently.

Wang Songshan picked up the phone again and dialed the private phone of the Lancer family’s Master Thomas. After two short rings, the phone was picked up, and Thomas’s voice came over the phone, “Mr. Wang, just say what you need to say.”

“Mr. Thomas, this time you and I both know the matter well. Since this is the case, we should not resort to insinuations.” Wang Songshan said, “This time, what my sister did was indeed out of bounds. I apologize to Goode. To express the sincerity of our Butterfly Family, we will personally arrange a banquet at the largest hotel in Ello Town to apologize to Young Master Goode…”

When he said this, Wang Songshan secretly gritted his teeth. This concession had made his heart bleed. When was the Butterfly Family ever this weak? One would need to be humble when trapped in an inferior situation. With the Lancer Family gripping their lifeline, Wang Songshan couldn’t help being nervous.

Although this would damage the reputation of the Butterfly Family, it was worth the humiliation for their future.

“My grandson can’t bear this apology!” Thomas said plainly, “If outsiders know the reason, they might think that Goode was being arrogant.”

Wang Songshan listened to Thomas’ words, and his heart sank. Even with such a humble attitude, Thomas still refused to let the matter drop. This time, he wanted to fight the Butterfly Family to the end.

“Mr. Thomas, even if we have made mistakes in the first place, with our many years of cooperative relationship, can’t you…” At this time, Wang Songshan threw away any trace of his pride as a family master and completely begged for help. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was being servile.

” Hehe, Mr. Wang, I think Butler Mitry also said before. It’s not because I don’t want to cooperate with the Butterfly Family; it is because this year’s special firearms quota is very limited. There isn’t enough to supply your demand!” Thomas’ faint remark completely shunted his responsibility and gave the other party no reason to refute.

“That being the case, half of the supply from previous years will work. I don’t know if Mr. Thomas can satisfy us…” asked Wang Songshan carefully.

“Half…” Thomas repeated the words of Wang Songshan plainly, “I don’t even have half.”

“Mr. Thomas, why don’t you suggest a way that you could continue to cooperate with our Butterfly Family. As long as we can do it, we will not shy away.” Wang Songshan had no other way as Thomas would not yield; he could only see if there was any room for negotiation.

“Mr. Wang, you also know that these special firearms are not ordinary firearms, the quantity we get every year is not a lot. Many of my customers are old friends and have a longer cooperative relationship than you. Some of them are even old friends from my father’s generation!” Thomas said,” In previous years, the quota of firearms was sufficient, so there was no issue. However this year, the quota of these special firearms is significantly less. I have to give priority to those old friends! I can only be sorry about your side…”

After listening to Thomas, Wang Songshan was irritated. What quota is reduced, why didn’t he say that before? After Goode was hit by Wang Ruoshui, the firearms quota of the Lancer family suddenly decreased? That too in the middle of the night? Who would believe it?

However, Thomas’s words were so rational that no one could find fault with them. Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, he made it impossible for Wang Songshan to refute him. He said it so reasonably; other customers had a stronger relationship with Thomas than Wang Songshan, so he had to stop the cooperation with Wang Songshan to give priority to others.

“If half of the amount from previous years is unacceptable, one third should be fine…” Wang Songshan gritted his teeth and settled for the next best thing. He would not be willing if he had to give up just like that.

“Mr. Wang, I have already spoken very clearly.” Thomas said plainly, “If I let my old friends know that I supply firearms to outsiders, they will be angry and bring out their elders! So, you must know that although we have cooperated for many years, I have no sufficient reason to give you firearms… There’s no special motive, it is also difficult for me to do this. If there is a reason, it would be easier for me to explain to others, but the length of our cooperation is really too short… Our friendship is not as deep as others!”

Wang Songshan frowned after liThis old guy is talking nonsense; what does he want to express? Listening to him, there seems to be another way to resolve this matter? After all, why would Thomas explain so much to me if there is no other way? What is the significance of explaining so much?

“Mr. Thomas, listening to you, it seems that this matter could still be resolved as long as there is a reason to supply the Butterfly Family… Do you have any good suggestions?” Wang Songshan couldn’t figure out what Thomas meant, so he directly raised the question. Thomas had hinted at an implied meaning in his words If he didn’t have this intention, Wang Songshan wouldn’t have to rack his brains to think about such meaningless matters.

” Hehe, I do have a suggestion.” Thomas smiled slightly and said, “If both our families have family relations, then my supply of firearms to you will be justified; no one can comment on it! Even if I give you all the special firearms quotas and others have opinions, they can’t say anything about it!”
