Chapter 870
”That’s right. Mr. Chadrick Cannon is a member of the Cannon family and you’re the one who personally raised him! What can he do to you?” Luqman smiled slightly. In hindsight, he found that question a little ridiculous.
”I’m glad you realized!” Osford sneered sinisterly. ”By the way, I don’t want to hurt Chuck for the time being, because I need to use him. So, just give him a simple test!”
”Don’t worry, Mr. Cannon!” Luqman said confidently. At that moment, the door opened. Chuck strode in, his eyes narrowed. The room was so big. Why were the lights off? Chuck was confused. He had asked Betty and Yvette to wait in the hotel.
Meanwhile, Chuck and the members of the Cannon family had arrived by plane. There was no doubt that the Cannon family was the same as the Yeager family. They lived a hidden life in the depths of the mountains. Since it was not possible to scale the mountains, no one would discover the existence of the Cannon family by chance. Chuck had been to the Yeager family before. However, in his opinion, the Cannon Family was even more secretive. The moment he entered, he sensed an ominous presence, as if the place was riddled with schemes and conspiracies. Chuck felt very uncomfortable. Perhaps he was too out of place. Whatever the reason was, he could not shake off that feeling. It was as if he could not describe in words.
”Mr. Cannon?” In the dark, Chuck could already see a pair of clouded eyes. They were terrifyingly cold.
”That’s right, it’s me! You said I would not be disappointed in you? To tell you the truth, I’m very disappointed now!” Osford said.
”Oh, is it because I came here empty-handed?” Chuck asked.
”No. It’s just that I only see Karen’s shadow on you. Do you know why a shadow is a shadow?”
”I know. A shadow always has a rightful owner!”
”So you know! To tell the truth, with how you are right now, you aren’t qualified to talk to me. Your mother, Karen, had at least a little qualification. On other hand, you… You’re nothing but her shadow! A shadow that would only be trampled beneath many feet.” Osford scoffed coldly.
”I was born from my mother’s flesh and blood. Therefore, I have always been her shadow and a new form of her life. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.” Chuck did not agree with Osford.
”Hmph! Let’s stop this nonsense. I want to see how you are compared to your mother. Luqman!”
”Yes, Mr. Cannon!”
At Osford’s back, Luqman took a step forward. Then, he approached Chuck step by step. Chuck froze, his gaze fixed on Luqman. Suddenly, a loud sound echoed in the room. Luqman had hurled an object as big as a fist. With a crash, it smashed into the ground, causing the floor to crack.
”I won’t hit you, nor will I use some other way to test you. This thing weighs 200 kilograms. Pick it up and let me see! With one hand!” That was how he decided to test Chuck without hurting him.
Looking down, Chuck realized it was similar to the special metal from his mother’s technological company. Even a small amount of it would be very heavy.
Chuck squatted down to grab it. However, when he tried to pick it up with one hand, it required quite a bit of strength.
Luqman dismissed his attempt. “If you can’t pick it up, then forget it. Put it down!”
”It’s not that I can’t pick it up, but…” Chuck still had something that weighed 250 kilograms on his body. Each arm weighed 75 kilograms. At the moment, he already had 250 kilograms fitted on him. Chuck had not taken it off. If it was removed, it would be a piece of cake to lift 200 kilograms.
”Let go! There’s no need for excuses! You? Your strength isn’t even a third of your mother!” Luqman declared his judgment. Chuck was no good.
Finally, Chuck let go of it without another word.
”Mr. Cannon, Chuck won’t do!” Luqman returned to Osford’s side.
Osford was disappointed. There was a reason Chuck was only a substitute pawn. The main reason was because he was simply inadequate. ”Chuck, you have disappointed me even more. Do you know that?”
”That may be the case! I came here today to negotiate and cooperate with you!” Chuck didn’t care about Luqman’s comments. Chuck only wanted to add another 50 kilograms to his weights when he went back! In this way, Chuck was training his body all the time. After all, he wanted to strengthen his muscles and increase his power. Only by forcing himself through that method would he be able to increase his strength as soon as possible.
”Cooperate? Do you think you’re qualified to talk about cooperating with me?” Osford burst out laughing, his two teeth shining brightly in the dark. He was mocking him.
”Yes. Let’s not talk about anything else. I’ve inherited everything from my mother, so I have the ability to cooperate with you!”
”Spit it out. What do you want to cooperate with me on?” Osford enquired. Nevertheless, Osford already knew Chuck’s intention.
”I want to team up with you to deal with Sabina!”
”Her? I have no conflict with her. Why should I cooperate with you? To break the peace between me and the Yeager family?” Osford found his suggestion hilarious. After all, he had led the Cannon family from behind the scenes for a long time.
Meanwhile, Karen dealt with the Yeager family and the Whitlock family, allowing him to sit back and watch. He planned for the Cannon family to make a move only at the end to take care of the mess. He was a player controlling the pawns on his board. Why would he put himself in the middle of a warzone?
”I won’t beat around the bush. I don’t think it is necessary for you to keep the peace between your families! Listen to me! If you work with me to deal with Sabina, I only want her herself. I’ll give the rest to you!” Chuck offered.
”Haha! You’re going to give it all to me? Chuck, you’ve disappointed me!” Osford burst out laughing. ”You can leave now! You don’t satisfy me!”
”What if I have leverage over the Cannon family?” Chuck said out of the blue.
Leverage? Instantly, Osford’s eyes gleamed sinisterly. ”What do you know? Tell me!”
