Chapter 82
Akden chose not to bring anyone along, leaving only abusinessrand, out of respect for Kyle’s preferrners.
Kyle didn’t comment, simply nodding and escorting Alden out.
Once inside his car, Alden made a call. “I’ve found Moses successor, but Edidn’t manage to get any information. Not that it’s surprising–anyone Motes picks wouldn’t be easyto deal with 1 suspect this guy is far moer Lomidable than we anticipated.
“Spread the word: everyone needs to be ready. He’s bound to shake the Khan Family to its core, and bloodshed might be inevitable.”
Meanwhile, three generations of the Khan tanuly, heavily guarded by a tranend armed budyguards, arrived in Kerdonia.
Their anival exuded power and authority, each step bilmaning with confidence and an air of superiority over all others.
“Damn Khans, always bossing me, Henderson khan, around! You dogs! just wait until I find Grandpa’s successor and seize control. I’ll shred you all into pieces and teed you to the dogs!”
Henderson slammed the car door slut, his face full of irritation. “Darn it, coming all the way here in the middle of the night it’s exhausting!”
His assistant in the passenger seat humed to him with a flattering smile, trying to appease him. “Mr. Khan, this just shows how much faith they have in you. else could handle this? Coming to Kerdonia is a huge opportunity. Once you finish this mission, no one will dare accuse you of being a lazy good–for–nothing who only indulges in food and entertainment.”
Henderson’s anger subsided slightly, though his expression remained sour.
“All this fuss just to deal with some nobody who stumbled into shares by sheer lock? When I, Henderson Khan, step in, it’s like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. These tools clearly don’t respect me enough.”

Henderson burst out laughing at this
He patted the headrest of the front seat, “You’ve got away with words, you bootlicker. No wonder I like bringing you along. Fine,
e, we’ll see how I feel when the
time comes
“Now, find us a place to stay. Those idiots couldn’t even dig up an address. If they don’t get it done in half a day, they’re all tired!”
Despite Henderson’s outbursts, Justin, the assistant, bit his tongue and gave the driver instructions, knowing that crossing Henderson would have dire
Midway through the drive, Henderson’s expression twisted in discomfort. He slapped the seat. “Justin, find a hospital. Damn it, I don’t know what I ate, but my
Justin immediately tuned to the driver, urgency in his voice. “Mr. Khan isn’t feeling well, furry, get us to the nearest hospital!”

It’s just Kyle! Why are you hesitating so much? If you won’t help me, I’ll do it myself.
