Chapter 365 Come After Me

Zev frowned but said nothing.

Lucas was dead. His mission had ended two years ago. There was no need to get involved any further.

That world was a bottomless pit, pulling in generation after generation.

Darkness would never end, but there would always be heroes willing to carry the burden and move forward.

"How's Lockhart Group doing lately?" Gary shifted the topic. "I heard you poached a major asset from Wagner Group."

Gary smirked. Zev was impressive-he had managed to lure Quentin away. "Are you planning to go head-to-head with Patrick?"

Zev let out a scoff. "He already handed over full control. There's no conflict left to have. He's the one who made a mess of things by bringing in some illegitimate son to inherit the business. Shawn turned on me first."

Gary sighed. "We're still cousins, you know..."

"Save the lecture. If you want to talk someone down, talk to him. He's the one who never treated me like family." Zev could see right through Shawn. That man wasn't just trying to secure his footing in Seaville or manage Wagner Group-he wanted complete domination. He wouldn't stop until Lockhart Group was wiped out.

A person like that had no concept of family.

Gary studied Zev for a moment before speaking. "You should try to hold back a little. Don't ruin things completely with Patrick."

He glanced at his watch. "You know, after your mom passed, I was too busy with work to take care of you. Patrick's the one who raised you."

Zev didn't respond for a long time. When he finally spoke, his voice was calm. "I have no issue with Uncle Patrick. Back when he was running Wagner Group, there was no bad blood between our companies."

Gary stood up. "I've got some free time tonight. Let's have dinner at Patrick's place. I'll play mediator and see if I can smooth things over between you and Shawn. Maybe salvage what's left of your family ties."

Zev rolled his eyes.
