News of Lord Buddha spread throughout the entire city of Enssea in no time, creating a buzz across all sectors of society. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lord Buddha, the figure who held power within Enssea’s underground forces and had stood strong for decades, had been overthrown in a single moment. It was almost unbelievable. It was important to note that he not only possessed formidable strength himself but also had gathered numerous exceptional talents around him. Their combined strength was comparable to that of the four major families.

Who could possibly possess such power?!

At the eastern part of Enssea City, within the Ryan Family estate, in one of the villa's grand halls.

Sam Ryan, the patriarch of the Ryan family, sat comfortably on a sofa, sipping tea with an air of ease. Before long, footsteps echoed, and Dean Ryan, the head of the Ryan Family, entered the hall in a hurry. "Father, something's happened!” Dean Ryan said as he approached. "What's happened that you're in such a hurry?" Sam Ryan raised his tea cup and took a sip.

“Lord Buddha's base was attacked. All the powerful individuals around him were killed, and he was taken away!" Dean Ryan poured himself a cup of tea and downed it in one gulp. Upon hearing this news himself, he almost bit his own tongue in astonishment. It was truly shocking. Sam Ryan choked on his tea, struggling to regain his composure before asking, "Who did this?"

"We're not sure!" Dean Ryan shook his head. "No information has come out yet!"

"What do you mean?" Sam Ryan furrowed his brow. "Lord Buddha's estate had at least a few hundred people, right? They were all killed?" “Not all of them!" Dean Ryan continued to shake his head. "But most of them have disappeared, and even the few we found were unwilling to reveal anything, even if it cost them their lives."

"Hmm!?" Sam Ryan's pupils constricted. He was thinking who could this opposing force be.

"By the way, Father, it's said that Rose's people have begun taking over Lord Buddha's businesses within the entire region.” Dean Ryan continued. "Could it be her people who did this?"

"Not very likely!" Sam Ryan shook his head. "While she has some background, she doesn't have that kind of power! Taking over Lord Buddha's businesses could be a case of seizing the opportunity,” Sam Ryan paused for a moment, then continued, "Send someone to retrieve the surveillance footage from Lord Buddha's mansion."

"Somebody already tried, but all the surveillance, both inside and outside the mansion, has been destroyed." Dean Ryan replied.

Sam Ryan was taken aback once again. He thought for a moment and seemed to recall something. "Did Lord Buddha capture Derek Hines?" "Yes, he made his move last night,” Dean Ryan raised an eyebrow. "Father, are you suggesting that the other side might have acted because of Derek Hines?"

"Very likely!" Sam Ryan nodded thoughtfully.

At that moment, the sound of high heels echoed, and Audrey Ryan, the youngest daughter of Dean Ryan, briskly walked in.

"Audrey, why are you back? Don't you have work?" Dean Ryan looked slightly surprised.

"Grandpa, Dad, you should already know about Lord Buddha, right?" Audrey Ryan's tone was unusually urgent.

"We've just learned it too. What's going on?" Sam Ryan put down his tea cup and gazed at Audrey Ryan.

"Is it because Lord Buddha captured Mr Hines that they took action?" Audrey Ryan continued to inquire.

"Most likely!" Dean Ryan nodded.

Audrey Ryan let out a sigh, then addressed them both. "Grandpa, Dad, listen to me. Regarding the matters of Enssea Chamber of Commerce, I suggest the Ryan Family stay out of it and let the other three families deal with it!"

"What do you mean?" Dean raised an eyebrow. "Audrey, do you know who's behind this?"

“I can only guess!" Audrey Ryan took a deep breath. "Grandpa, Dad, do you remember what happened with my brother last time?"

"Are you saying that the influential figure from SHADOW is involved?" “Very likely!" Audrey Ryan nodded. "Only someone of that caliber would have the power to uproot Lord Buddha so effortlessly.”

Sam Ryan and Dean Ryan both took a sharp breath, their faces displaying seriousness.

"What's his relationship with Derek Hines?" Dean Ryan paused before asking.

"I don't know the specifics.” Audrey shook her head. "But from my guess, he's definitely somebody."

After saying this, she looked at her grandfather and continued, "Can the Ryan family withdraw from Enssea Chamber of Commerce?"

"Not easy!" Sam Ryan furrowed his brow. "If we forcefully withdraw, we won't be able to bear the consequences. After all, Enssea Chamber of Commerce isn't something we four families can dictate.”

"Audrey, are you worried that this influential figure might help Derek wage war against Enssea Chamber of Commerce?" Dean asked. "Yes!" Audrey looked serious.

"Audrey, you don't need to worry excessively. Even if what you said is true, there's no need to be so concerned. Enssea Chamber of Commerce won't be easy to handle.” Dean continued.

“But I have a feeling Enssea might undergo earth-shaking changes due to his arrival this time!" Audrey Ryan speculated with a contemplative expression.

"Audrey, is there any way to meet him again and gauge his intentions?" Sam Ryan inquired after a moment of thought.

“I can only try!" Audrey Ryan exhaled deeply. As she turned to leave, she added, just before reaching the door, "Grandfpa, Dad, please don't spread this matter for now!"

Meanwhile, the other three major families in Enssea were discussing the same matter. Like the Ryan family, they also couldn't come to any conclusion.

In the evening of the next day, Billy was at World Group discussing matters with Derek when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Felicia Knight.

"Billy, my sister said you're in Enssea. Is that true?" Felicia's excited voice came through the phone.

"Yes!" Billy laughed in response.

"Humph! You came to Enssea without giving me a call. I won't talk to you anymore!" Felicia pouted.

"Haha, I've been busy these past couple of days. I was planning to call you the day after tomorrow." Billy laughed again.

“Liar!” Felicia pouted again. "Well, since you're here, how about making it up to me by treating me to a meal?"

"Sure thing!" Billy smiled. "I'll treat you to a feast. You can have whatever you want. Just find a place and send me the address." "Really?" Felicia's voice was filled with excitement. "You're promising, no backing out. I'll find a place right away!"

“I'll be waiting for your message," Billy said with a smile before hanging up.

Ten minutes later, Felicia's text message came in.

After that, Billy and Stout headed towards the restaurant in their car. Half an hour later, Stout parked the car in the restaurant's parking lot, and the two of them stepped out of the car.

"Billy, over here!" Just as they got out of the car, Felicia, dressed in professional attire and high heels, walked towards them.

"Hmm? Why are you dressed like this? No school today?" Billy gave Felicia a once-over.

"How do I look? Do I look good in professional attire?" Felicia struck a pose and twirled in place, reveling in her own vanity.

“Like a city professional? Do I resemble my sister in beauty?"
