Revenge After Death

"Steven, it's been so many years, and you haven't changed a bit," Jimmy said with a smile.

Though he made it sound like Steven hadn't changed at all over the years, I could tell he was mocking Steven for not growing up.

"Who's this? Your younger brother? I didn't know your dad had other illegitimate children," I asked Steven, my tone clearly unfriendly toward the uninvited younger brother. Steven tightened his grip on my hand and replied, "He's nobody."

"Looks like my brother's wife holds some enmity against me," Jimmy chuckled, his hand still extending toward me for a handshake.

"The purpose of my return is not to become your enemies. Instead, I want to cooperate with you." Though he sounded sincere, I didn't buy it.

"My brother has sold the Lincoln Group to Crowdstar Group, which means the Lincolns have lost the privilege the Lincoln Group provided them until now.

"That was very brave of you, Steven. You've just declared war against all the Lincolns, you know?" Jimmy's smile remained.

While I was pondering the meaning of his words, Jimmy suddenly leaned closer to Steven and spoke in a voice that only the three of us could hear.

"Some of the recent killing sprees have impacted the core operations of the black market industries behind several conglomerates, and Peter Jones is just a small-time doctor...
