Iâm A Quadrillionaire chapter 449 âMr. Lidell, weâve already sent your friend to the hospital. Heâs rather weak and itâll take him some time to recover completely. How should we deal with the rest?â Cade asked.
âMr. Nelson, I was hoping you would catch everyone involved in this. I do not want to see people of power using their authority to harm ordinary people.â
âYes, of course, Mr. Lidell! Iâll straighten out the whole of South River Province once I return! I promise this wonât happen again.â
âThank you, Mr. Nelson. Are you free right now? Perhaps we could talk over a meal?â David invited.
David was not an impudent man, and Cade was indeed treating him with courtesy despite being a provincial minister and his elder.
âI would love to!â Cade replied.
As if he would reject the opportunity to get to know David better.
Not when he came all the way here just to leave a good impression on David.
âYou first, Mr. Nelson!â
âNo, you, Mr. Lidell!â
They then left together.
Behind them, the SCC members watched as David and Cade chatted among themselves.
âHoly sh*t, isnât that the South River Province cabinet minister, Mr. Nelson?â
âYouâre right! As expected of Mr. Lidell! Heâs so awesome! Even Mr. Nelson treats him with courtesy.â
âWalk faster! We donât want to get left behind!â
The group of twenty to thirty members quickly followed David in a row of twenty to thirty cars.
Once David and his group left, Eden, Vere, Milton, and their sons were left to kneel on the floor.
There were also a lot of people gathering to watch from afar.
The six of them were well known in Shu City, so it was natural that they attracted much attention as they knelt on the floor.
Not that the crowd dared to approach them as they feared retribution from these six.
David and the others may have left, but Eden, Vere, Milton, and the others did not dare to stand yet.
They were still terrified from what happened an hour ago.
âTalk! Who did you three offend, hmm? Not only did we face pressure from various aristocratic families in South River Province, but our provincial cabinet minister came as well! We may be your dads but that doesnât mean weâre obligated to follow you into trouble!â Eden looked up and smacked Gilbertâs head, questioning sternly.
âDad! I-I donât know either!â Gilbert said pitifully.
âYou donât know? I told you to be careful of who you bully, didnât I? I told you to steer clear of people you couldnât afford to offend! Look what youâve done now! Weâre all screwed!â
âDad! What do we do now, then?â Gilbert asked shakily.
âWhat do we do? What else can we do but kneel and wait here?â
âVere, did you not receive any news?â Milton asked Vere.
They were all involved in the incident with King Kong and were local forces in Shu City. They had the same interests and they benefited and lost as one entity.
âNothing at all! We were still preparing for Mr. Nelsonâs arrival, but the moment he arrived, he had me come here and kneel to repent! It might not be the end for us if weâre forgiven, but if weâre not, our lives are over in Somerland,â Vere said solemnly.
He still had no idea what was going on.
However, he knew that this was a huge matter as Mr. Nelson himself had come to solve the issue.
It still chilled him to the bone when he recalled Mr. Nelsonâs attitude just now.
âWhat? Theyâre that powerful?!â Milton fell to his butt in shock. âWeâre screwed! Screwed, I tell you!
Completely screwed!â Eden muttered to himself.
âDad! I donât think itâs our fault! Sure, weâre horrible to people but weâve been in Shu City the whole time! Weâve never acted out of line when we left Shu City, so thereâs no way we couldâve offended someone so important! What if theyâre coming after you guys instead?â Lincoln analyzed.
âYeah! I agree with Lincoln. Thereâs no way we could have offended someone so powerful in Shu City!â
Jed chimed in.
âWeâre innocent, Dad! This isnât our fault at all,â Gilbert said pitifully.
âThen who are we dealing with? Why are they doing this?â
