Peter was already a dead man in James's eyes.
"What about Nine Fingers?" he asked calmly.
"He's from the same era as Peter," Henry said. "He also rose to prominence in the eighties, but he's far more ruthless. His real name is Greg Martin. In his early years, he offended someone and lost a finger, hence the nickname 'Nine Fingers.' He wanted to announce his arrival at the top of the underworld. He has many businesses, but loan sharking is his main one."
Henry reported honestly, "Furthermore, the Great Four have united and contacted Peter and Greg."
James's face darkened. "My grandfather, father, and the entire Cadens family will have their tenth death anniversary in eight days. Since no one carried out my request, kill them all to pay respects."
James's furious expression radiated a terrifying aura. Scarlett was intimidated; it felt like a heavy weight on her chest.
"What should I do next, James?"
Henry, accustomed to James's intimidating demeanor, knew many from the Great Four would die. James waved a hand. "We wait until the death anniversary to act. Spread the word: those who participated in the Cadens' demise should gather at the Cadens cemetery to settle this."
"I'll notify underworld contacts," Henry said, nodding before leaving. He pulled out his phone and made a call.
Meanwhile, Scarlett looked up at James. "James, I've bought the commercial city. What next?"
"Do you need me to teach you how to build a financial center?"
Scarlett's heart pounded. "I'm a grave robber. How would I know?"
She bit her lip, unsure what to say.
James, seemingly understanding, said indifferently, "You're the behind-the-scenes boss; you don't need to handle things personally. Hire someone if you don't know how. There's no shortage of talent." Scarlett, surprised by his insight, immediately nodded. "Okay, I'll follow up."
James remained at the Common Clinic for the afternoon. Meanwhile, a rumor spread through Cansington: "Did you hear? The Cadens' villa was deliberately burned."
"The Great Four orchestrated it, with Dawson, Nine Fingers, and Xander involved. A message demands those who participated in the Cadens' downfall ten years ago gather at the Cadens cemetery on August 15th to settle things. Warren and Trent Xavier were murdered, as were three other heads of the Great Four. Rumor has it the person who escaped the fire ten years ago is back for revenge. But wasn't he executed by the Blithe king?"
"Maybe it's fake news, or a team, not just one person. Only one was shot; more might be hiding."
Henry's rumor caused an uproar, reaching the Great Four, Dawson, and Nine Fingers.
On the outskirts of Cansington, at a villa, many people gathered—the current heads of the Great Four and numerous underworld figures.
