Chapter 1569

Everyone turned to look at where the voice came from and saw dozens of people approaching.

The leader was an old man with a walking cane, looking to be about 60 or 70 years old. He was

dressed in a white suit with a string of rosary in his hand.

He was Webster Shaw, the chairman of Loyale Group. He was a former major underground force in

Riverdale! In terms of seniority and influence, Webster was definitely above Theo!

In Riverdale, many underground figures only got to their current positions because of Webster.

Instantly, the entrance of Beacon Group became jam-packed with people.

The people here served their own masters.

Everyone dared not take the matter lightly.

Webster’s pomp was grand when he showed up earlier. He leaned on the cane in his hand and looked

at Theo coldly.

Douglas quickly got up from the ground, ran to Webster, and shouted, “Uncle Webster, you’re finally

here. Any later and I would’ve been killed by Theo! He doesn’t even care about you now. You have to

step in for me.”

Webster glared at Douglas and gave him a slap across the face, saying angrily, “You ended up in this

state just for a position. My resources have been wasted on you! Get out of my way!”

Douglas covered his face and dared not retort. He nodded resentfully and stood at the side.

Even so, he still glared at Theo and Philip viciously.

His son, Blake Poole, was also being helped up. He stood at the side, shuddering and not daring to

speak.

As everyone watched, one of Webster’s men quickly brought a chair from inside Beacon Group for

Webster to sit.

Just like that, he sat on the chair in a dignified manner with his hands on his cane. He looked at Theo

who was opposite him with an indifferent expression. He shouted solemnly, “Theo Zander, do you even

dare to beat up my people now?”

Theo frowned and replied politely, “Uncle Webster, this matter today is Douglas’ fault. He shouldn’t

have stepped in, let alone join forces with Beacon Group to oppose Mr. Clarke.”

As Webster was considered the former leader of Riverdale, Theo would still show him some respect.

Hmph!

Webster snorted coldly and raised his finger to Philip who was standing on the side. He shouted at

Theo, “Theo Zander, you must be out of your mind! Do you really want to step in for this worthless

piece of trash? Is your business so good now that you’re willing to become the bodyguard of this

useless son-in-law?”

Webster totally did not put Philip in his eyes at all. He merely gave him a cursory glance.

Hearing this, Theo’s face darkened as his attitude also became a little unpleasant. He said, “Uncle

Webster, Mr. Clarke is not who you think he is. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise,

I’m afraid your reputation will be ruined today.”

Theo understood that even if Webster was a senior, compared to Philip, he was still insignificant!

“Insolence!”

Hearing these words, Webster was furious. The cane in his hand knocked heavily on the ground as he

bellowed, “Theo, don’t think that just because you’re now the leader of Riverdale, you can do whatever

you please! You’re not the only one who has a say in Riverdale! With me around, I can change the

leader anytime!”

Threat!

A blatant threat!

Webster obviously meant for Theo to think carefully about the consequences of offending him!

In Riverdale, many underground figures were secretly supported by him. As long as Webster raised the

flag, who dared not obey his lead?

Theo was just a character who emerged with the times. If Webster wanted to replace him, it would be

as easy as taking a walk in the park!

Theo’s face darkened as he looked at Webster with uncertainty. Then, he walked to Philip and

whispered in his ear, “Mr. Clarke, Webster Shaw’s status and influence in Riverdale is not ordinary.

How do you think we should deal with it?”

Philip frowned and asked, “You can’t handle him?”

Theo bowed his head helplessly and said, “Webster is the former underground leader of Riverdale and

has connections with many underground figures here. If I touch him, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to

protect myself.”

Theo was telling the truth. He was also in a difficult position.

There was too much at stake here. Everything must be carefully thought out.
