Chapter 588 - Silence (1/2)

”Originally, I plan to hit you at a more crucial time, but it seems that this is already more than necessary. I know why you know so much about them, Oro from Fiore Group.”

Jason's gaze flickered for a moment when he heard how Ivan called him. However, his expression was still as unreadable as ever. Even though Ivan wanted to see him panic, he had to be satisfied with an indifferent expression of Jason.

”Oro from Fiore Group?” one of the elders asked. He glanced at Jason with disbelief all over his face. ”Are you saying that Jason is that famous group's member?”

Ivan felt satisfied when he saw the elder's reaction. Jason's reaction bore him, so the elder's reaction caused him to be very satisfied. He had worked extremely hard to dig into Jason's background and activity for the past few years. Finding out that this young man participated in Black Street activity caused him to feel elated.

He felt that he had grabbed on Jason's Achilles heel.

”Yes, that's true,” Ivan replied. He took out several photos from the map. It showed the footage of Jason leaving the house, wearing a different outfit than usual. ”After a long time searching, I find out that Jason actually has a relation with Black Street. He has been staying with them for a long time and has a rather close relationship with them.”

The perfect successor has a relationship with the underworld was surely an interesting headline. Ivan smirked internally as he thought that the media will blow up the matter.

”Jason, is this true?” the elder turned his head towards Jason.

However, Jason didn't answer anything. He merely picked up the glass in front of him in a nonchalant manner. His silence caused the elder to feel rather enraged. How come this brat didn't answer anything in the face of something this big?

Ivan smirked. He thought that Jason was stunned silence because of his accusation.

”As someone who participates in Black Street's activity, don't you think he's unsuited to be the perfect successor? What right do you have to tell us that the government is not good? Is it just your baseless assumption after being part of Black Street for a long time?”

Every question Ivan threw was hitting harder and harder to Jason. Even the elders were riled up when they saw this scene. Only a few of them stayed quiet and decided not to participate in this discussion.

Whatever they said, they would surely offend one party.

These two, Ivan and Jason, had been rivals ever since their youth. If not because of Jason's bloodline, which was because he was the direct descendant of Wells Family Head, he might not be the future successor. Still, in regards to their capability, Jason has more capabilities compared with Ivan, so the selection was not truly unfair.

”You're right, Young Master Ivan. As someone who participates in Black Street, he has more of a mind of a criminal than a young master. There's no way he can possibly think for us.”

”He has been brainwashed that the government is evil because of his participation. Young Master, we should think more about your opinion rather than him.”

”Yes…”

”He's…”

As the discussion turned into a one-sided attack towards Jason, Ivan was trying his best to hold his laugh. He had waited for this scene ever since a long time ago. Now that the chance has come, he would never let Jason off. This annoying cousin of his has to be dragged down from his firm throne as the successor of Wells Family.

On the other hand, Jason paid no heed to the direct insult directed towards him. His gaze landed on his father, who has been watching calmly from the back. The two pairs of eyes met with each other. Jason could clearly see the emotion from his father's eyes.

It was filled with disappointment.

It was fully disappointment, not anger, not happiness, and not surprise.
