At the very least, before getting involved, they should have given him a heads-up. This silent bypassing of him is extrely abnormal!
While the father and son were still in doubt, Old Hawk’s phone rang again, another call coming in.
Next, one call after another ca in...
The seven smaller families affiliated with the Hawk Family sold all their shares!
The buyer was that Eastern company—Xue Lian Wan He!
Old Hawk was utterly shocked and enraged upon hearing this.
Even Andrew was furious, shouting, "What did Soruns do, contacting those small families without a word and transferring those shares!?"
In just the past two hours, Soruns had contacted the seven smaller families attached to the Hawk Family, personally vouched for them, and bought all of Kelson’s shares at a ’reasonable’ high price.
At present, the Hawk Family’s actual holding in Kelson was less than twenty percent of what they originally had.
They could no longer threaten Kelson!
"I need to call Soruns, why would he do this to !" Old Hawk suddenly let out an angry low roar.
Old Hawk felt "betrayed"!
Soruns, whom the Hawk Family had helped greatly, had now betrayed them!
Ungrateful!
These four words exploded in Old Hawk’s mind, his hand shaking with anger as he dialed the number.
Andrew was also angry.
The call was finally picked up just as it nearly hung up.
"Hawk." Soruns’s voice on the other end was calm, as if he had expected the call.
"Soruns, why would you do this!" Old Hawk shouted, involuntarily slamming the table in his fury, "How many years have we known each other? Tell ! Why do sothing like this! Have you forgotten? Back then, how we helped you. Have you forgotten all that!"
Old Hawk’s voice grew more agitated, roaring, "Why did you help soone else behind our backs and stab us in the back? Explain it to !"
There was a brief silence on the other end before Soruns spoke.
His voice was devoid of apology, instead carrying a cold tone, "Hawk, do you want to weigh the significance of our relationship?"
"Alright! Then tell —"
"Over the years, how many troubles from the Hawk Family have I helped you solve?!"
"Over the years, how many major deals have I facilitated for the Hawk Family?!"
"Over the years, how many connections have I brought to the Hawk Family?!"
Soruns’s questions grew louder and sharper with every word.
Old Hawk was left speechless by the barrage of questions.
"To be fair," Old Hawk considered those as rightful returns.
Indeed, they had kept the Hawk Family stable and prosperous for so many years!
"And you, you are always claiming how much you sacrificed back then, constantly complaining to ."
Soruns’s voice suddenly shifted from sharp to calm.
"Just yesterday, at the banquet, my friend, I had enough of your complaints!"
Old Hawk felt a sinking sensation in his heart, a wave of extre unease surged.
"Soruns, what exactly do you want to say? I, my friend..." Old Hawk even started to stutter.
Andrew swallowed, feeling uneasy as well.
"Aren’t you angry with my actions, questioning our friendship." Soruns’s calm voice ca through, "From this mont on, you Hawk Family and I are severing all ties."
Soruns was breaking with them!
Old Hawk’s face turned pale imdiately.
Even Andrew, who vaguely heard the phone conversation, was filled with horror.
They were not fools, they knew the implications.
Without Soruns, their family wouldn’t have today’s fa and status.
"Don’t do this, my friend." Old Hawk stood up abruptly, shouting.
He regretted his attitude towards Soruns.
But, unfortunately, it was too late for regret.
As for Soruns, once he spoke out, there was no chance of taking it back.
At the very least, the Hawk father and son had no such capability.
"As a forr friend, I must warn you one last ti. This ti, your greed has crossed the line, you played with soone you can’t afford to provoke! That Bai Xiaosheng is not , he doesn’t have my patience! You toyed with him and set a bad example for many families here. Trust , he will retaliate, for his dignity!" Soruns’s voice ca through, devoid of warmth.
"You, do your best to fend for yourself!"
Then ca the beeping sound, and the call ended.
Old Hawk sat dazed with the phone in hand, slumping back into his seat, his expression regretful and dazed.
Andrew was also flabbergasted, involuntarily mumbling, "How could it be like this!"
Just because of a Kelson, because of a Bai Xiaosheng, Soruns severed a decades-long friendship with their family?
This is simply... unfathomable!
anwhile,
Bai Xiaosheng was also making a call, and the person he called was Kevin.
Two hours ago, Bai Xiaosheng contacted Soruns, asking for his help.
Soruns had long been fed up with the Hawk Family, not wanting to carry this burden any longer.
Moreover, due to the Hawk Family, Soruns inadvertently owed Bai Xiaosheng a not-so-small favor, which he didn’t want to bear.
So, when Bai Xiaosheng expressed his displeasure about the Hawk Family’s so-called ’sincerity’ in toying with him, Soruns imdiately decided to help Bai Xiaosheng with this favor, which was also helping himself.
