Chapter 3 Requirements for Offering Apologies and Making Amends

George's style of doing things was all about being arrogant and domineering.

No wonder Brian refused to come apologize no matter what.

The cost of this apology was a bit too high!

Of course.

This was only true for other people.

For Blake, the threat before him was nothing at all.

"You sure?"

"I came here with sincerity. If this is your attitude, I can't guarantee what will happen next."

Blake's completely dismissive attitude made George even more furious.

"What are you all standing around for? Move!"

With his command, everyone instantly rushed toward Blake.

Blake, who had been surrounded in the middle, had somehow already moved.

His figure was like a ghost, weaving back and forth among the crowd.

In less than a minute, more than ten strong men were all knocked to the ground.

At the scene, the only one still standing was George, who had been so arrogant before.

"You!"

"How is this possible?"

George's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

These people were all elite members of his crew.

And now, they couldn't even last a minute against Blake alone.

This guy seemed a bit too abnormal!

Blake smiled cruelly and slowly walked toward George.

George wanted to run, but it was too late.

"You, you, you—what are you going to do?"

"I'm a member of the Gould family. If you dare lay a hand on me, I guarantee the entire Gould family will fight you to the death!"

George was clearly scared and immediately brought up his identity, hoping to intimidate Blake.

"I gave you a chance. You're the one who didn't take it!"

Blake completely ignored his words.

He maintained his previous smile, and George, who had been standing, collapsed to the ground in pain.

The leg that had been injured before was completely broken by Blake.

"My leg!"

"God!"

George rolled on the ground in pain, wailing continuously.

Blake frowned and walked toward George again.

"Too noisy!"

With a crisp sound, Blake dislocated George's jaw.

George was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face, but he couldn't make any more sounds.

Blake pointed at one of the men nearby, signaling him to come over.

The man didn't dare delay and scrambled over.

"Tell the Gould family members that the Reed family has come to apologize."

"I came here with sincerity and don't want any more trouble. As long as we can sit down and talk properly, I'm willing to apologize on behalf of the Reed family and even help solve a problem. Of course, if you don't appreciate it, I don't mind solving the trouble in other ways!"

Hearing this, the man nodded repeatedly and ran awkwardly toward the interior of the Gould Estate.

Blake just sat down next to George, quietly waiting for other Gould family members to arrive.

The man who had been sent to deliver the message ran into the villa in a panic.

After he explained the situation, all the Gould family members present changed their expressions.

"This is too much!"

"I think the Reed family has a death wish!"

George's father Nelson was furious and was about to bring other fighters with him.

"Wait!"

At that moment, a voice stopped the impulsive Nelson.

"Nelson, calm down, don't be impulsive!"

Don't be impulsive?

Nelson was so angry he laughed.

"Rodney, George just had his leg broken, and you're telling me to calm down and not be impulsive. How can I calm down?"

"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, or I'll deal with you too today!"

Seeing Nelson about to lose it, Rodney quickly explained.

"Nelson, please calm down and let me finish."

"We definitely need to avenge George, but not this way."

"The fighters around George were all elite, but now they've all been taken down in less than a minute. With that kind of fighting ability, do you think we can definitely handle him even if we bring people? What if—I'm just saying what if—what if we can't beat him? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Nelson gradually calmed down, but the anger on his face hadn't disappeared.

"So what do you suggest?"

"Simple—we can use someone else to do our dirty work!"

"Use someone else?"

"Exactly, use someone else!"

"Recently, the biggest family in Paris, the Gilbert family, has been publicly recruiting a husband for their heir, and they specifically asked our Gould family to select a suitable candidate."

"Ordinary people don't know, but we understand the situation, right?"

"The Gilbert family heir Shirley has recently contracted a strange illness and goes crazy from time to time. Otherwise, with her looks and background, why would the Gilbert family publicly recruit a husband for her?"

Halfway through Rodney's words, Nelson suddenly understood.

"You're planning to use the Gilbert family to get rid of this troublesome guy?"

Rodney nodded without hesitation.

"Exactly. Shirley Gilbert goes crazy from time to time and has already killed several servants before. If we send this guy there, within a few days, he'll definitely be killed by Shirley too."

"And even if, worst case scenario, this guy survives, he won't live long. The Gilbert family situation is far more complicated than we imagine. Even the people in that family definitely won't let this guy stay by Shirley's side!"

"Moreover, what he'll face isn't just obstacles from the family. All those people watching from outside won't let him off easy either!"

The corners of Nelson's mouth lifted slightly, and his whole demeanor became much more relaxed.

"In that case, not only does our Gould family not need to send anyone, but we can also take this opportunity to establish a connection with the Gilbert family. Perfect plan!"

"Brilliant!"

"Rodney, you've done well with this. Once I firmly secure the position of Gould family head, there will definitely be an elder position for you."

Rodney's eyes lit up, and he responded excitedly.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, family head!"

"Hahaha..."

"Rodney, since this idea came from you, the task of handling it afterward is yours!"

"No problem, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

...

Seeing Rodney approaching alone, Blake's brow furrowed instinctively.

He didn't think the Gould family was this easy to talk to.

Most likely, they were brewing some new scheme behind this.

But you don't slap a smiling face.

Since the other party came alone, Blake naturally should treat him with courtesy.

"Hello, sir. My name is Rodney. May I ask your name?"

"Blake!"

"Hello, Mr. Reed. I just heard my subordinate's report and heard about your skills!"

"Since you came to apologize with sincerity, we certainly can't be ungrateful. We do have a solution now. As long as you agree, we can let bygones be bygones for everything in the past, including today."

"What solution?"

"Represent our family and marry into the Gilbert family!"

"Originally, George was supposed to go, but now that you've broken his leg, he obviously can't go. But the Gilbert family is someone we can't afford to offend. After thinking it over, you're the only option!"
