Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

I understand, but Noah is a competitor. I can understand my competitor, but I can't sympathize with him.

“What you say makes sense, but we only look at the results. If you don’t personally deal with Ryan, we can only assume that you and your uncle are putting on an act.”

"You don't need to worry about Uncle's matter. I will handle it myself. You'd better have your people change the information quickly. I won't give you the compensation I promised until the rumors are cleared up."

"Okay, okay," Dunlop replied impatiently.

Noah came to see Dunlop in person to discuss this matter. After they finished talking, he didn't linger and left without even sitting for a short while.

He comes in a hurry and leaves in a hurry.

The assistant standing nearby expressed his dissatisfaction on behalf of Dunlop, saying, "Master, this Noah Davis is far too unruly. He comes and goes as he pleases, showing you absolutely no respect."

"So what do you want?" Dunlop asked irritably.

This question left the assistant speechless and even somewhat resentful.

Dunlop said, "Although this kid has a sharp tongue, he's not as cunning and ruthless as Ryan. Ryan would do anything to achieve his goals, even shooting you in the back without a word. To be honest, Noah's style is somewhat like his father's."

"That guy is the same way. He always leaves each other a way out. If you don't push things too far, he won't kill you. The old man of the Davis family saw this, which is why he gave the position of family head to Noah instead of Ryan in the end. Because he knew that Ryan's first thing to do as family head was to completely unify the North Continent, but our three families are not to be trifled with. We can't let Ryan bully us."

Hearing Dunlop's words, the assistant was even more confused. "Master, if you think that the three of us might not necessarily lose to the Davis family, then we have even less to fear Noah, right?"

"Do you even understand?" Dunlop looked at his assistant and almost swore. "The reason we're afraid of Noah is that Noah won't incite hatred between the three families at once. If he only bullies our Leopold family, the other two families will be happy to watch the show and will never step in to help us. Forget about helping, we just hope he doesn't side with Noah! After all, if one family is gone, they can get more resources."

“If the head of the Ryan family were to target all three of us at the same time, even if we joined forces, you couldn’t guarantee that someone would stab you in the back when we were about to win. Do you think the Milne and Clarence families are trustworthy and good people?”

In the Northern Continent, the four major families can only trust their own family. Even when they join forces with other families, they must be wary of the other party betraying them at a crucial moment.

Dunlop's steady personality meant he would endure things as long as he could, until he could no longer bear it before speaking up.

Noah is fairly straightforward in his actions. He will speak before taking action, and he won't attack without reason unless provoked.

Dunlop was still satisfied with the balance Noah was maintaining; as long as he didn't take action against the Leopold family, they could survive.

Consider Ryan's style of doing things; blowing up a mine affected their nearly 100 million dollar contract. But the most unfortunate ones are the Clarence family.

Clarence is the only one of the four families to possess a naval force and a warship capable of long-distance voyages. However, it has been set on fire and bombed, resulting in several serious damages. Although it can be repaired, it will take them a considerable amount of time and require a huge sum of money for maintenance.

The Clarence family's warships usually cost millions to maintain even when there's nothing going on. Now that they've been bombed and burned, the repair costs will be hundreds of millions.

This infuriated them, and they were the first family to send troops to chase after Ryan after he had run away.

Dunlop was quite satisfied with the losses suffered by the other families.

Sure enough, seeing your rivals lose money is always the most gratifying thing.

Noah, after leaving the Leopold family company, went straight to the company to attend to other matters.

It was getting dark quickly.

The lights in the Davis house were on full display.

Qi Yuan, who had a good night's sleep, was woken up by hunger.

The familiar ceiling came into view, and the orange glow of the desk lamp illuminated the entire room.

Qi Yuan shifted slightly to the side, feeling his arm being grabbed, and looked down.

Little Petty had fallen asleep beside him at some point. The little one was sleeping soundly, her chubby little face was so cute.

After not seeing her for a few days, Qi Yuan noticed that the little girl seemed to have grown up a little.

Children always seem to grow up suddenly without you even realizing it.

Qi Yuan stood up.

As soon as he sat up, the soreness in his lower back made him curse, "That bastard! If I ever soften my heart towards him again and believe his nonsense, I'm a pig!"

The thought of how he was always fooled by Noah and believed him made him doubt his own intelligence. How could he be so easily deceived?

My stomach was rumbling.

Having returned without eating anything and having done some exercise, Qi Yuan felt so hungry he could eat a whole cow.

He carefully got out of bed, covered the little girl with a blanket, and went outside.

Asa and Catherine seemed to be talking about something, and when they saw Qi Yuan come out, they immediately stood up straight nervously.

Qi Yuan said, "If Petty and I fall asleep in the future, you guys should move a chair outside and wait, or take turns standing guard."

The thought of how long he and Patty slept while Asa and Catherine stood outside made Qi Yuan feel somewhat guilty.

Asa and Catherine nodded in unison, "Okay."

It's very safe at the Davis family home. Their bodyguards play a very small role; they are just close bodyguards, meaning they can't stray too far from the person they're protecting.

However, Qi Yuan has already said that as obedient bodyguards, they will listen.

Qi Yuan arrived at the restaurant on the first floor, where the aroma of food was filling the air.

Wearing an apron, Shi Bai placed a plate of steamed fish on the dining table.

There were already five dishes on the table. Two of them were dry-pot potatoes and stir-fried shrimp with scallions, which Qi Yuan had made before. The other three dishes looked like modified Dongzhou cuisine made by Zi Xiu.

"Brother Qi, you're awake. Dinner is ready, come sit down and have a taste."

Shi Bai warmly invited Qi Yuan to sit down.

As soon as Qi Yuan sat down, Shi Bai picked up a bowl, filled it with rice, and placed it in front of Qi Yuan.

Xiu came out carrying a plate of grilled pork ribs.

Seeing Qi Yuan, he said happily, "Ah Yuan, you woke up at just the right time. I was thinking that if you were still not awake after I finished cooking, I would go and wake you up. After all, Dongzhou cuisine tastes best when it's hot!"

"Ok."

Qi Yuan picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of grilled pork rib.

The ribs were charred on the outside. Because there wasn't much meat, the meat was tough and dry, and had a strong porky smell. It was obvious that they were just marinated and then grilled without any extra processing steps.
