Noah's expression changed upon hearing this news.

Just a few seconds later, he chuckled.

"Uncle is indeed a cunning old fox. He knew he couldn't kill me in Gangdia, but he would die when I came back, so he ran away before I returned."

“Master, Mr. Ryan left the day after you left Juecheng. Their departure was very sudden. We did not receive any news from him immediately, but according to the reports from the tracking hounds, they ran in the direction of Lady Dani’s hometown.”

"Did he take his family to live with his father-in-law, the naval general?" Noah asked.

Actually, there's no need to wait for Kyle's answer; that's the only place Ryan can go.

Dani Davis is the only daughter of a naval admiral. Although her marriage to Ryan is a separate affair, their interests are aligned.

The reason why he was willing to let Ryan hide in his father's house must be because Ryan still had some power. Moreover, this man who almost became the head of the Davis family could definitely become the head of the Davis family with the help of others.

While Dani's father's naval power was not as great as that of the Davis family, Noah had received reports that the naval admiral had used his naval abilities to discover several uninhabited islands at sea and establish his own power on them.

As long as the fight takes place at sea, they might not necessarily lose to the Davis family.

In the entire North Continent, only the sea area ruled by Dani's father is beyond the reach of the Davis family. Ryan can only survive and accumulate strength to launch a counterattack if he escapes there.

"Yes, Lady Dani's father's maritime territory is beyond our reach; their only chance of survival is to flee there."

"Issue an arrest warrant for the assassination of the family head and arrest Ryan Davis and his family," Noah said.

Kyle nodded.

“Drive to the Leopold family company,” Noah said.

Upon hearing his words, the driver immediately started the car.

Kyle asked in confusion, "Patriarch, during your absence, the other three families discovered that it was all Mr. Ryan's doing, but because you were away, they didn't dare to take action against him. What are you doing at the Leopold family now?"

Kyle felt that the four family leaders needed to sit down and have a proper discussion about what to do regarding Ryan's situation.

Noah is now going to see Dunlop ahead of time, which is a bit against the rules.

A flash of anger crossed Noah's eyes. "I'm going to settle the score with him!" he said.

Kyle was full of doubt.

I wondered, what accounts are they going to settle?

The problem Ryan caused was actually in their wrong.

But looking at Noah's angry expression, it seems like he's in the right.

Kyle, filled with doubt, arrived at the Leopold family's company with Noah.

When Dunlop heard that Noah had returned, he couldn't sit still in his office and got up to greet him personally. However, he hadn't taken more than a few steps when he ran into Noah walking in.

"Noah, you're finally back! That bastard Ryan has made a complete mess of Juecheng, do you know that?" Dunlop was already thinking about how to settle accounts with Noah and get back the losses Ryan had caused them.

"Mr. Dunlop, how dare you tell me he ran away?!" Noah retorted angrily.

Dunlop was taken aback. Why was he now blaming him?

"The heads of your three families are in Juecheng, and they have quite a few men under their command. You just let him get away like that? Are you all useless?!"

Dunlop: "..."

Fuck! He seems to have a lot to say about it.

The elderly Dunlop was so scolded that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"They've run away, so be it. I'm not here to hold you three accountable for your inaction. Let's settle the score regarding the Gangdia mining area!"

Noah slammed a document onto the table.

Dunlop was even more puzzled: "Hasn't the score with Gondia already been settled? Why is it being settled again?"

“I received information in Gangdia that the Leopold family is claiming that the Davis family blew up your mine.”

"Isn't that true?"

“That was done by those traitorous hounds. They ceased to belong to the Davis family the moment they betrayed them. You should tell everyone it was Ryan Davis’s doing!”

He gathered this intelligence as soon as he arrived in Dianoa, which infuriated him. He had clearly agreed with Dunlop that the Davis family would be responsible for compensating the dead miners for not finding the traitorous hounds.

However, this compensation was given out of humanitarian considerations, not because they were the ones who caused the bombing.

If the Davis family admits to the bombing, their reputation and prestige will suffer greatly.

As the head of the Davis family, Noah would never allow anything to damage the family head's reputation.

"Ryan is also from your Davis family, so what's the difference between this and what your Davis family did?" Dunlop retorted arrogantly.

Noah's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Then do you want me to send someone to blow up one of your mines to prove the rumors you've spread?"

Dunlop was startled and immediately stood up: "You dare?!"

“What wouldn’t I dare?” Noah’s eyes were sinister. “I went to Gangdia myself to deal with the traitorous hounds in order to protect the reputation of the Davis family. And yet, after I agreed to compensate the miners, you’re spreading rumors all over Gangdia that the Davis family bombed it!”

"Do you think I'm stupid? I'd put in the effort and money and still get a bad reputation. Believe me or not, I'll blow up all your mines in Gangdia!"

The only one who can take advantage of Noah is Qi Yuan. If the other three families try to take advantage of him, he can destroy them!

Noah wasn't afraid that after saying these harsh words, Dunlop might be forced into a war with him.

He was determined to show his strength and attitude, otherwise, if others took advantage of him this time, he might be bullied in the future.

Dunlop was indeed intimidated by Noah. He knew that Noah was a man who would do what he said he would do. If he didn't back down here, his family's mine might really be blown up.

After pondering for nearly a minute, he compromised and said, "I understand. I'll have my men change their story and say it was Ryan Davis who did it. But isn't Ryan a member of the Davis family? How can this not have anything to do with the Davis family?"

Dunlop didn't think there was anything wrong with the rumor he spread.

“I’m in charge of the Davis family now!” Noah said coldly. “Anything related to the Davis family must be ordered by me personally, and only then will the actions taken be considered related to the Davis family.”

“Mr. Dunlop, use your brain. If your son or brother did something bad, and I said it was done by your Leopold family, would you admit it?”

Noah's words made Dunlop think from another's perspective.

Thinking about it from this perspective, Dunlop suddenly understood why Noah had come to confront him in such a huff.
