Chapter 186: Chapter 185 Stanislaus Potter’s Anger_1

Translator: 549690339

Austin Yarrow had been on edge due to the loss of the Token.

At such a critical juncture, not to mention losing the trust of Stanislaus Potter, it seemed impossible for him to shake off the label of a traitor. Even if he didn’t die today, he would be despised by the people of Five-river Province.

Now that he had found the person who framed him, how could Austin Yarrow not be furious?

Not just him, everyone present was unusually angry.

Facing such a formidable enemy, it should have been a time for these people to unite and work together, yet there was a traitor in their midst!

This thought made those who had issues with Quadir Cook in the past stand out one after another!

“The ingrate! The boss has been so good to you, and yet you return kindness with enmity!”

“Quadir Cook, it turns out you can’t judge a book by its cover! While the brothers are fighting with blood, you’re stabbing us in the back! Is this how you treat your brothers?”

“Despicable dog, you’re not fit to be human!”

The thought of a traitor among them sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

If Quadir Cook really did take away the Token and shifted Stanislaus Potter’s men, wouldn’t the Leopold Family be walking into uninhabited territory?

Moreover, Quadir Cook was not just betraying these men, he was practically pushing the Golden Eagle Group into the fire!

Without the Golden Eagle Group, where would their wealth and status come from?

Cutting off someone’s livelihood is akin to killing their parents!

“Boss, 1…”

The moment Quadir Cook was found with the Token, his entire body collapsed to the ground, and although he was being choked, his eyes were filled with fear.

He had acted so covertly, one could say flawlessly.

Besides, no one knew about this matter except for a few high-level members of the Leopold Family!

With the operation imminent and success within reach, why had it all come to light?

Having followed Stanislaus Potter for so many years, Quadir Cook naturally knew what the consequences of betrayal were!

Death!

There was no chance of survival!

“Stanislaus Potter, let him go!”

Stanislaus Potter sat in the boss chair, silently lighting a cigarette.

Quadir Cook had been with him since he was eighteen, and now, ten years later, he had come to see him as his own brother!

Over the years, whenever anyone spoke ill of Quadir Cook, Stanislaus Potter would vehemently suppress it.

After the Golden Eagle Group grew, all these guys became somewhat inflated, indulging in women, and hardly missing any opportunity for drinking, gambling, and vice.

To these, Stanislaus Potter had turned a blind eye, after all, they were his brothers.

Besides, what was the purpose of earning money if not to enjoy it?

Otherwise, money in the bank is just a string of numbers.

But Stanislaus Potter had never imagined that the person he trusted the most would betray him!

“Big Brother…”

A bitter smile crossed Quadir Cook’s face: “Three years ago, I met a woman. And that woman is Whitley Leopold’s granddaughter, Flint Leopold. In this lifetime, I never thought to betray Big Brother, but I can’t lose her…”

After finishing his words, he knelt on the ground, bowing his head in silence.

“For a woman, you’re willing to betray Big Brother?”

Alastair Martin slapped him across the face, roaring, “All that you have now was given to you by Big Brother! Quadir Cook, you’re ungrateful!”

As the leader of the Seven Guardians, he had a particularly close relationship with these men. They often drank together, whether there was a matter or not, and they shared deep bonds.

Now that his former brother had become a traitor, Alastair Martin felt not only anger but also bitterness.

“Flint Leopold is carrying my child. Now, Whitley Leopold is blackmailing me with this. He said as long as I get the Token, he will let the woman and the child go!”

Quadir Cook suddenly looked up, his face streaked with tears: “Big Brother, I can’t lose them, but I assure you, as soon as the Leopold Family releases them, I will report to you immediately!”

After this explanation, the anger of the others also somewhat subsided; after all, they were brothers who had spent time together.

There was still some affection in their hearts.

“Even if you are threatened, you should not do something that betrays Big Brother. Quadir Cook, why are you so foolish!”

Alastair Martin shouted like an elder brother, in agony: “Quickly apologize to

Big Brother!”

This was an offer of a way out for Quadir Cook; everyone knew that Stanislaus Potter was a sentimental man. If Quadir Cook admitted his mistakes, there was a high chance that Stanislaus Potter would spare his life.

Though glory and riches may be gone, being alive was better than anything else.

“Apologize now!”

The others understood Alastair Martin’s intention, openly scolding while covertly pleading for leniency.

“Big brother, I…”

“Quadir Cook!”

Stanislaus Potter stood up, interrupting him directly, “If I hadn’t obtained the intelligence, I would never believe you could betray me. Even now, I am inclined to soften my heart and forgive you.”

“Alas!”

He sighed deeply and asked coldly, “Whitley Leopold promised you that once I die, you’ll be the owner of the Golden Eagle Group! Flint Leopold, that person doesn’t exist in this world!”

Whoosh!

He violently smashed the teacup from the table onto the floor.

When Stanislaus Potter received the email from Julius Reed, he didn’t believe it.

He couldn’t imagine that an employee who had followed him for so many years would betray him.

But it wasn’t until the Token was found that he knew it was all true!

The human heart is unfathomable!

And Quadir Cook’s true motives were clearly laid out in the email.

Stanislaus Potter gave Quadir Cook chances until the very last moment.

If an employee who had been with him for ten years could come clean, he wouldn’t make things difficult.

Giving a sum of money and sending Quadir Cook abroad was a very normal thing to do.

Stanislaus Potter was a man of deep emotion.

But Quadir Cook had been deceiving him all along!

From beginning to end, he never spoke a single truth!

“Big brother, I…”

Quadir Cook’s eyes were filled with terror, and his face turned pale in an instant!

He couldn’t understand how this matter had come to light?

“Big brother, please listen to my explanation!” Now, for the first time, he experienced fear.

“Austin Yarrow, take him out!”

Stanislaus Potter closed his eyes and instantly aged a great deal. The betrayal by someone closest is such a painful realization!

“Understood!”

Austin Yarrow narrowed his eyes and, lifting Quadir Cook with one hand, walked out of the office.

Whoosh!

He briskly walked back in.

The office returned to silence once again.

Even Fernando Leopold, standing nearby, was so astonished that he couldn’t speak.

“Stanislaus Potter, did you know about this all along?”

He was unaware of the Leopold Family’s plans, but since Quadir Cook had been dealt with, it implied that their suspicions were almost certainly correct.

But how could such top-secret intelligence leak out?

Did Stanislaus Potter really have the ability to gather intelligence from the Leopold Family’s inner circle?

If that were true, then the Leopold Family had lost right from the start!

“Big brother, it’s truly a frightening thought! While the brothers were busy preparing, I never imagined the enemy would strike from within! If it weren’t for your wise leadership…”

Alastair Martin stopped mid-sentence.

Because he could tell that Stanislaus Potter was somewhat displeased.

“Everyone, get ready! Be on one hundred and twenty percent alert!” After saying this, Stanislaus Potter left Austin Yarrow and Alastair Martin behind and had the rest leave the office.

“Old Mr. Leopold, would you like to go back?”

He looked toward Fernando Leopold and asked this question..
