Chapter 364
The Riley family fell silent. All eyes were on Clayton. They were waiting for him to make a decision.
Even without the backing of the Wyatt family and the Lotus Sect, they were not particularly afraid of Dustin.
What unnerved them was his strength as a martial artist and the worry that he might resort to violence if provoked.
Financially, however, no one had thought that Dustin had any real power.
But the impact of that single phone call left the entire Riley family stunned.
"Clayton, what should we do? Contact Mr. Elijah immediately!" someone urged.
It was obvious the Riley family could not weather this storm alone.
Clayton's menacing glare locked onto Dustin.
"You think you can take down the Riley family and seize Creative Arts Corporation just like that? Dream on!" he spat venomously.
"The Riley family has powerful allies!"
The other family members all looked very smug.
They had personally witnessed Elijah's capabilities when he came to the Riley family with his entourage.
There was no way he would allow the Riley family to crumble under Dustin's attack.
"Show me what you've got," Dustin said with an indifferent smile.
"You won't be smiling after a while," Clayton said before instructing his people to start making some calls.
"Contact Mr. Elijah..."
"There's no need to call!"noveldrama
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind.
Everyone turned to look.
Several luxury cars had pulled up.
Dustin glanced over, and his face darkened slightly.
The newcomers were none other than Hector and Troy.
Leading a group of people, Hector and Troy walked onto the scene with an air of superiority.
"There's no need to worry. The Ziegler family has arrived under the orders of Mr. Elijah to support you!" Hector announced loudly.
The Riley family members smiled in relief and joy.
"The Finn family is here as well!"
Another voice called out as another group arrived on the scene.
"Mr. Finn!" the Riley family exclaimed in delight.
It was none other than Archie, the man who had been eager to marry Maisie, Shawna's mother. He, too, had brought his people to support the Riley family.
It did not stop there.
"The Dixon family is here to help too!" The last group arrived with an imposing aura.
"The Dixon family too!" The Riley family's excitement soared to new heights.
The Dixon family's influence was far greater than that of both the Ziegler and Finn families.
Seeing them submit to Elijah and step in to help was beyond their expectations.
"With the Ziegler, Finn, and Dixon families joining forces to support us, what do we have to fear?"
The Riley family seemed reinvigorated. Their excitement was hard to contain.
What did it matter if Dustin was really impressive?
Could he take on three of the city's most prominent families at once?
That was impossible!
Shawna's face stiffened, and her eyes shone with worry.
The Riley family alone might be manageable for Dustin, but with four major families united against him...
This alliance was powerful enough to shake even the top forces in Grayvale. It was a force to be reckoned with.
Dustin rose from his reclining chair
and stepped out of the security
.ne
booth. His gaze swept coldly over the people of the four families.
They were the families he had conflicts with...
Elijah's strategy was clear. He had consolidated the families that opposed Dustin and brought them together to deal with Dustin.
Meanwhile, Elijah would remain in the shadows and orchestrate everything with calculated precision...
Elijah had changed. He was no longer the reckless and foolish man he once was.
"Mr. Fox, after much deliberation, my
son and I have decided that we
net
simply can't bear to hand over the empire we've worked so hard to build to you. Therefore, we must apologize for the offense we are about to commit," Hector said with a bow.
But he did not look sorry at all.
