Chapter 268

"Dad, should we tell Mr. Xander about this?" Duncan asked anxiously.

It seemed only the Nander family could resolve the matter.

"Are you trying to get us killed?" Max glared fiercely at Duncan. "We'll be dead before anything if Mr. Xander finds out about this today!"

"But Dad," Duncan protested, "if the Nander family doesn't intervene, we won't stand a chance against that kid. If we can't meet his requirements in three days, we'll also be dead."

Duncan's face paled. He didn't want to die.

"Look at you, so weak!" Max said resentfully. "Don't forget, that kid is from the military region. But we have a relative in the Capital Military Region—a genuine general!"

"You mean General Tucker?" Duncan's face lit up.

"That's right."

"But General Tucker is Juliet's relative. Will he really be willing to fight people from the military region for us?" Duncan was uncertain.

"I believe Roger won't sit idly by if the Zimmer family is truly in trouble. After all, he's still a Zimmer family member and Kelvin's uncle," Max said with determination. "Tell Roger about this matter first. Let him investigate that kid's background. We can only make further plans once we know his exact identity."

"Yes, Dad." Duncan immediately instructed someone to contact Roger.

Soon, they received a response: there was no one named Cameron in the military region system. He wasn't from the military region at all.

"It looks like he's played us all!" Max breathed a sigh of relief. What did they have to fear if he wasn't from the military region?

"But Dad, if that kid isn't from the military region, why would Colonel Larson take orders from him?" Duncan voiced his confusion.

"That's simple," Max explained. "He must have bribed Colonel Larson."

"Don't forget, that kid now represents Yrando. He still has considerable power and connections—money and networks. And Colonel Larson happens to be from the Yrando Military Region. If that kid wanted to pay him to help out, Colonel Larson might not refuse. Didn't you see how quickly that kid withdrew his troops? If he really had the power, he could have just forced us out. Why give us three days?"

"Dad, you're right!" Duncan suddenly realized. "He's just trying to scare us!"

Max nodded. "That brat dared to play us like this! Mr. Zimmer Senior, we absolutely cannot let him off!"

The Zimmers, regaining their confidence, were eager to teach Cameron a lesson.

"Hehe," Max chuckled, his gaze darkening. "Today's score won't be settled so easily. How can we maintain our reputation if simply anyone can trample on the Zimmer family? Didn't he say he's giving us three days? Then we'll wait for him. Spread the word, gather both our underground and legal forces, and meet here within three days! This time, I'll make sure that kid has no way out!"
