200 Asking for Help (1/2)
Jay was having a hard time facing Roy and his brother's men. They were strong, and he knew that there was no way they could avoid a direct clash with each other.
”Jay, you should stand back. Your fighting ability can't be compared with theirs,” Master Ren ordered when he saw Jay's group of men.
”But I want to help,” Jay protested.
”There's no use to show your abilities here. You should stand back and wait for the reinforcements to arrive. Right now, our highest priority is getting out from this perimeter.”
Roy gathered his men to surround the Souhon Clan's Residence. He was among them and waited patiently outside the gate. His other men already fought with the others on the street and he only needed to wait for his own turn to fight in this strategic place.
Slowly but surely the number of people around him increased. His men were doing a wonderful job in gathering people to work for him. This made him rather satisfied. He only needed to wait for their numbers increased some more before making a move.
”Young Master, we need to escape from this place,” Vero advised with a panicked expression. They would be dead if they waited until Roy finished gathering enough subordinates to surround them completely.
”I can't just leave Master Ren alone and run away,” Jay looked towards Master Ren with red eyes.
The two men looked towards each other. Jay always respected Master Ren because the latter was someone who had taught him since young. He viewed Master Ren as his second father, which was the reason he didn't want to leave.
Master Ren smiled wryly. ”You have to leave. If they come and you are still here, do you think your brother will let you go?”
There was no word 'family' in Roy's dictionary. He would not hesitate to wound Jay and eliminate his younger brother if it meant he could climb to the highest position. Towards Roy's ambition and ruthlessness, his father found it hard to accept. This was the very reason he didn't want Roy to succeed him. Unless Roy managed to learn about the word 'brotherhood' he couldn't give the seat to him.
As for Jay, it was exactly the opposite. Master Ren patted the boy's head. ”Go out and search for help. I'm sure you have some connections, right?”
Jay's eyes widened in surprise. How did he know about that?”
”Nolen School C is the best option for the clans' descendants to study in because it gives the students a lot of freedom. At the same time, it's also the best place to build connections. Why do you think we allow you two go to that school?”
”I understand,” Jay took out his phone and made a call to Mike. Because he was placed under Mike during his time in the Student Council, he was the closest with Mike.
”Hello, Jay, why are you calling us?” Mike answered almost immediately. At this time, he already started doing his work that Kevin had given to him to do.
”Mike, can you help us?”
”You mean the Souhon Clan? Sorry, Boss already says it clearly that we won't get ourselves get involved in your battle.”
”Why?” Jay was stunned.
”There's no benefit for us with helping either side, don't you think so?”
Even if the Ryukalin Clan came and helped them, what could they get from the other party? Their clan was the biggest clan in this city. In terms of territory, profit, and power, they were clearly beyond the Souhon Clan. There was no way the Souhon Clan could offer them something that would interest them.
Everything that they had, the Ryukalin Clan had much more and even better. The position as the number one clan in this city was not for nothing.
At this point, Jay didn't know what to answer. He bit down on his lips as he thought hard about what they could give to the other party. To his dismay, he found out that he didn't know what he could give at all.
”I guess so…”
”Don't sound so desperate,” Neo interjected. As usual, he even hacked his own friend's phone. ”Even if you can't ask help from us, do you think we're the only outside power?”
”What?”
”Don't act stupid.You're not Tommy who can't even guess something that's already in front of his face.”
At Neo's words, Jay finally realized that there was indeed one more person he could call, Tommy!
”I see, thank you very much.”
