Chapter - 1209

At this moment, the pilot of Sam’s private jet was preparing to line up for takeoff at Aurous Airport.

When he received Sam’s call, he said, “Young Master, I am at the airport right now, ready to take-off.”

Sam blurted, “Hurry, inform the tower to postpone the take-off and then drive the plane back to the business jet hangar. Wait for me, I’ll return to Eastcliff tonight.”

The pilot asked in surprise, “But you just came here this morning. Didn’t you say that you were going to stay for a few days? Why do you want to go back so suddenly?”

Sam said anxiously, “It’s none of your business. Wait for me at the airport hangar, I’ll go to the airport right now.”

The pilot quickly said, “Okay, Young Master. I’ll request the tower to cancel my take-off now.”

When Sam finally emerged with a grumpy face, Oscar, who was waiting by the washroom door, greeted him graciously, “Master Kilgore, how do you feel?”

“Not good!” Sam snorted, “Tell your master I’m returning to Eastcliff now.”

Oscar exclaimed, “What? Master Kilgore, are you going back now? But the banquet has not officially started yet.”

“Argh! Enough with your bullshit!” Sam blurted out, annoyed and upset. “Go and tell your old master, I came here today because I wanted to offer a precious chance to the Moore family, but it’s too bad that the Moore family was so cocky and arrogant in accepting my goodwill!”

Then, Sam directly strode past the banquet hall and left.

Oscar knew that Sam had to be very angry, so he hurried back to the banquet hall and informed Lord Moore about his departure.

There was a trace of regret in Lord Moore’s expression when he heard that Sam was leaving, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, “If Master Kilgore wants to leave, let him be.”

Reuben gaped in bewilderment and said anxiously, “Grandpa, the purpose of Master Kilgore’s visit today was to discuss a collaboration with us, how could you let him go just like that?”

Lord Moore turned to him and asked, “If he insists, what’s the point of keeping him here?”

“Oh my God…” Reuben huffed in despair, “Grandpa, are you out of your mind? You are such a foresighted man, can’t you see what’s his real intention of visiting us this time?!”

Jasmine shouted in dismay, “Reuben, how could you say that to Grandpa?”

Jasmine’s parents had died when she was a child. In her eyes, Lord Moore was not only her grandfather but also her parent. Therefore, she could not tolerate the slightest disrespect for Lord Moore, not even from her cousin.

There was a tinge of hatred in Reuben’s eyes as he looked at Jasmine. He said in a regretful tone, “Jasmine, Grandpa, the reason why the Kilgore family came to us must be because the Webb family is on the decline now. Since the number one family in the South Region has been vacated, the Kilgore family probably wants a piece of the pie. I think the reason he came to us must have been to work with us. They would have supported us to become the number one family in the South Region, then in the future, we could have them as our backup, which means we can have a very solid and powerful backup in Eastcliff! That’s like killing two birds with one stone!”

Actually, Lord Moore had already anticipated Sam’s true intention of coming to Aurous Hills today. A seasoned entrepreneur like him who had started his empire from scratch had a sophisticated grasp and understanding of the current situation even though he was very old now. He had long realized that as the reputation and net worth of the Webb family deteriorated day by day, the social structure between the powerful families in the South Region would be reshuffled. The old king would retreat as the new king arose. The world had revolved like this for centuries.

However, he never thought that the Moore family would have the opportunity to become the new king of the families in the South Region. The Moore family could be regarded as a powerful family in a small city like Aurous Hills, but they were weak and fragile if they were to compete with the other families in the South Region.
