Chapter 21: You Lost More Than Me
Sera came to Noah intending to settle accounts and get something back, but instead Noah threatened her and gave her another house.
Thinking of this, she left the building in a fit of rage and got into her car.
She sat in the car and waited for a full minute, only hearing the engine start but seeing the car not move an inch. Annoyed, she demanded, "Why aren't you driving yet?!"
"Master, we can't open it. There are demonstrators and federal police officers causing trouble up ahead. Look, it's packed with people!"
Sera turned her head and looked at the dark mass of people in front of her, cursing, "These poor bastards are always causing trouble! If those idiots in the Federation fired a few shots into the air, they could scare these poor bastards away and save those bullets. They're so poor, they might as well send them ten bullets!"
The driver, unsure whether Sera was serious or joking, sat in his seat with an awkward smile.
In recent years, in order to establish an image that is different from the Mafia, the Federation has been secretly cursing its own people while painstakingly trying to cultivate a good-guy image.
The increase in gas and fuel costs clearly benefits a few large families. Ordinary people know who is responsible, and the federal police also know who did it.
Ordinary people dare not cause trouble in front of the four major families' homes because the other side has guns and will actually fire them. They can only ask the Federal Police to help them.
The Federal Police also wanted to play the good guy and please both sides. They had sent people to talk to Sera several times, hoping that she would agree to lower the price a little.
Sera refused outright.
If it's something to agree on, everyone should agree together. If only she agrees, the other families who want to make money will secretly call her a fool for not taking the opportunity to make money.
People from other families thought the same thing. The federal police couldn't persuade the mafia members, nor could they appease the civilians, which is why the demonstrations continued until the heavy snow arrived.
The narrow, old city streets are already prone to traffic jams on snowy days, and now with the protesters, even walking is difficult, let alone leaving by car.
Sera was already thinking about firing a shot into the air to scare away the marching crowd, and just as she was about to do so, there was a gentle knock on the car window.
Standing outside the car was Ryan Davis, dressed in an elegant and refined manner.
Upon seeing who it was, a hint of doubt flashed in Sera's eyes. Just as she was about to ask something, Ryan made a gesture, seemingly indicating that she should open the car door.
Despite her earlier falling out with Noah and the fact that her brother had been shot twice by him, she had no extra wariness toward Ryan and opened the car door.
She knew that even within a family, not everyone was necessarily loyal to the family.
Ryan lost the battle for the position of head of the Noah family, and she knew that Ryan was the person in the world who wanted to kill Noah the most.
The car door opens.
Ryan, shivering with cold, got into the car.
"The snow came earlier than usual this year, and it's also very cold."
An opening remark unrelated to the main topic.
Upon hearing this, Sera curled her lips into a disdainful smile and teased, "Then you can choose to stay at home. Since you lost the battle for the Davis family headship, Noah doesn't dare to let you take on too many family affairs. If you choose to do nothing and stay at home cuddling with your little lover, he won't say a word to you. In fact, he'd be happy for you to do that."
"Why is this young man so hot-tempered? Did he lose another negotiation with Noah?" Ryan asked pointedly.
When Sera thought about the suffering her brother had endured, including losing a restaurant and a house, she was filled with rage and didn't want to say a word.
Seeing her expression, Ryan knew he had hit the nail on the head and continued to add fuel to the fire.
"I heard that half an hour ago, your brother Lennon had his arms and legs broken by Noah in the street. You came here in person to avenge him? What? Noah shot your brother in front of everyone, and you still couldn't get any compensation from him?"
"Uncle Ryan, just say what you want to say. Why beat around the bush? No matter how much I've lost on Noah, it's not as much as what you've lost, is it?"
Sera sneered, "You've worked tirelessly for the Davis family your whole life, and you even managed to kill your own brother. You thought you had a chance to become the head of the family, but Noah, this junior, got the job. Who in this world has paid the most to Noah? Isn't it you?"
Ryan's eyes turned cold.
From a young age, he and his brother devoted themselves to the Davis family, working so hard that they developed many health problems. In his youth, he realized that no matter how hard he tried, he could never beat his brother.
So he orchestrated an accident that caused his brother's death.
After his brother's death, he worked even harder than before, wanting to show the old man that he was capable of shouldering the responsibility of the entire Davis family.
Back then, the old man really valued him, and he would discuss everything with him, big or small.
He and the other members of the family all thought he would be the next head of the Davis family.
Unexpectedly, as he worked diligently, one day the old man brought Noah, now grown up, to him and handed over half of his work to Noah.
It was at this moment that he realized the old man had never intended to hand over the position of head of the Davis family to him. Even though he had done so much for the family, now that his brother was gone, he would push Noah up to compete with him.
No, this isn't a competition for him.
Because, in the end, the old man still gave the position of head of the family to Noah.
This is the old man's favoritism.
He worked hard for over twenty years, only to have it all benefit someone else in the end.
He was filled with intense hatred.
Even now, he's still thinking about how to bring Noah down and put him in the place that rightfully belongs to him.
Although Ryan's thoughts were well hidden, Sera didn't need to guess what he was thinking by looking at his micro-expressions. Among these people from the Mafia, who wasn't ambitious?
Even if you have no ambition, just keep nagging him until he gets annoyed, and he'll develop ambition.
Sera tossed her long, slightly wavy blonde hair behind her ear, looked triumphantly at the silent Ryan, and said, "Uncle Ryan, just say what you want to do. You came to talk to me because you think I'll definitely help you, right?"
Ryan put aside his thoughts and smiled, "Yes, you'll definitely be on my side. Your family originally wanted to use Lennon and Noah to improve their relationship, but they didn't expect Noah to hate Lennon so much. Noah opened fire in the street, which means he's completely at odds with you. So, if you want the Milne family to grow stronger, you have no choice but to stand on my side now."
Sera smiled. "I made a mistake at first. I thought Noah was so handsome that he would like someone like Lennon. Who knew he liked men who were so beautiful they looked like women? If I had known, I would have found someone handsome, and maybe our relationship wouldn't be so strained. But I've already made a mistake, Uncle Ryan. You won't let me make another mistake, will you?"
