Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals -
Chapter 299
Chapter 299 Pride and Prejudice
“What? One billion dollars for an invite? That’s daylight robbery.”
Belarus was furious when Flint relayed the price.
Even though Albert was the chief commander of the State Strategic Department, an invitation to attend his ceremony should not cost that
much.
Flint uttered, “I heard Albert trained under the God of War. He longed for an assignment from the God of War himself. I’m confident the
God of War will be there.”
“Seriously?”
Edward had his doubts. “Even if the God of War is attending, one
billion dollars for an invite is ridiculous. Maybe it’s a special price to scam us out of our money.”
“Even if it is, I’m paying up.”
Belarus interrupted him. “My family will be attending the ceremony. I don’t care if the money is for the God of War or Albert, I’m paying the one billion dollars. The things they can offer me in return outweigh
the cost.”
That’s right. My family will be attending too.” Belarus managed to
convince Flint.
Edward let out a wry smile. “We are in this together. If you guys are going, I can’t keep my family out of it.”
Despite Edward’s kind words, the top three families did not have a solid friendship. They saw each other as competition when a common enemy was out of the picture.

Edward simply did not want to fall behind the other families.
With that out of the way, Edward said, “Did you receive word from the Sunrise Lees? They are urging us to deal with Kaze.”
“We did.”
The other two nodded with a grimace.
Jesse was their real enemy, so they did not have time for Kaze.
However, they would not dare to turn a blind ear to the orders of the Sunrise Lees.
“I heard that the Hansers have their eye on Quintessential Group. They intend to send Darcy to prison.”
Belarus said, “Why don’t we lend the Hansers a helping hand? The Lees didn’t say we have to kill Kaze. Kaze would have enough on his hands if we started with his wife. That should be enough to answer to the Lees.”
“Yeah. I think that works.”
Out of the three family heads, Edward resented Darcy the most. He was on board right away.
He said curtly, “The city council is tight with Perfect World Group
- The police won’t work with us to pull Darcy down. Why don’t we get the state police in on it?”
Even though the top three families’ influence was limited to the city, they had connections within the state.
“That will work. So that’s decided.”
Flint waved his arm nonchalantly, not thinking much of the matter.
They held Quintessential Group and Kaze in contempt.

A brief conversation was all it took to decide their devastating fate.
The next morning, Darcy went to work while Sky chauffeured Agnes. and Hector to the market in the MPV.
Kaze was alone at home.
Draco strolled over. He wore sunglasses.
“Good news, Boss. As you predicted, the top three families bought the invitations for 3 billion dollars. I don’t get it. Albert is just having an inauguration ceremony. The ceremony shouldn’t cost that much,” Draco.commented. He was speechless.
When Kaze proposed the idea, Draco did not think it would happen.
No one would be stupid enough to spend one billion dollars on an invitation to a chief commander taking office.
Reality was a slap in his face. Such people did exist.
