Chapter 23 - Offensive

At this moment all the members of the Jenner family were silent. They turn their gazes from their phone to their helmsman who was sipping his tea. The sudden turn of events was shocking to them. 

"Tonight, the Grant family is not a threat to us anymore" Robert casually sips his tea.

"Father, what about the forces behind them?" William asked worriedly. 

All of the members are staring at Robert worriedly but to their surprise. The old couple, the butler and Josh were extremely calm. They were so calm that it didn't even bother them whoever wants to fight them. 

"The forces behind them? are they that strong?" he asked.

William and the rest of the Jenner family was stunned once again. 'is father really not afraid? aren't we inviting more trouble?' he thought to himself.

This time William's little brother stood up and said "Father, what if the forces behind them decided to retaliate against us? we will have more enemies in the future." 

"Yes, what if they team up with the two great families?" 

"We will be in trouble when the time comes"

"Our plates are full right now, it's better to focus on the two great families" 

"It's over, the Grant family was destroyed" 

Several elders of the Jenner family voiced out their opinion. Robert sighed " it's disappointing to see that you lack vision and all of you are too passive" 

"What do you mean?" the elders of the Jenner family frowned. 

"A young man is much capable than you old folks" Robert grins and continues.. "Josh here is the one who suggested the plan to destroy the Grant family tonight" 

They were shocked and confused 'Why did the helmsman listened to a penniless man?' they thought to themselves. Bonna looks at Josh with a frowned. 

"Josh, explain to them the plan" Christine said while smiling. Everyone look at him, patiently waiting. 

"We won earlier today at the auction, that was the spark we need to create a momentum. Followed up by the destruction of Grant family, the two great family will be shaken up even if just a little. Now that the family acquired the Grant family's assets and businesses, all we need is to quickly digest it. Even though we will probably have more enemies, the whole point is we strengthen the family now. We are more formidable than before, also the contract on the suburbs of the Berian city requires a large money. If we didn't strengthen the family now, it will be difficult for us to find investors." 

"Yes we are formidable than before but you attracted much stronger enemy for us" one of the elder replied.

"Yes I did but now we have the money to start the two projects. Another thing is because of what we did today, many wealthy individuals will recognize the capability of the family. Our ally's moral will get stronger. By proving our capability, it will be easier for us to gain the support of the wealthy families. Lastly, do you really think the underground forces behind them will take an action now? Our society is ruled by law. If they come out and destroy us, it will spell doom for them. The authorities will notice them and take them down." Josh answered.

They understand what he said, many of them realized that they need to take a risk in order to win. The elders nodded, for them all they need to do is to absorb the wealth of the Grant family and start the two major projects of the family. The two great families can't take them down so easily. 

Robert clears his throat and said "Now that the moral of our alliance is strong, we must share this opportunity to them. The Grant family's businesses are enough for them to cooperate with their companies. Tomorrow all of you will be busy handling and creating new projects to our allies and Bonna you should seek investments to our allies for the project in Berian city" 

"Understood Grandpa" She nodded. 'He is really smart' she praised Josh in her heart.

"My sons" He looked at his two sons

They stood up at the same time. "Do you have any orders dad?" 

He grins and said "Breakthrough at full speed"

"Yes, Dad!" they answer in unison... They understand what their father wants. They will show the power of the Jenner family. The Jenner family is getting stronger and as the future leaders of the family, they can't be weak. There is no room for weakness, only the strong one will dominate this city....

At the Douglas villa...

Damon smashed his tea cup because of anger. 'Damn it, I didn't expect that old man will destroy the Grant family first' 

His son, James's dad said "Calm down father, we are still far stronger than them. Besides the forces behind the Grant family will surely retaliate." 

"Idiot!" her sister smirks. 

"What did you say to me?!" He glared at his sister. 

"The forces behind the Grant family will not retaliate soon. The authorities in our city is in high alert because our battle against the Jenner family and its allies will have a great impact on the economy of this city. If they attack, the authorities will not sit by and watch. They will eliminate them for good" she explained casually. 

No one expected that the Jenner family will go on offensive rather than focus on defense. Tonight the Jenner family surpassed the Wade family, they become the rank 2 on the S rank families in the city. Even in the Wade family's villa, both of them are gloomy. They must stop the rise of the Jenner family or they will be finished. 

In the morning 

The news about about the Jenner family being the rank 2 of the S class family was quickly spread. Their allies was delighted, and their enemies was worried. The assets and businesses of the Grant family was quickly taken over by the Jenners. They replaced the loyal subordinates of the Grants by their own subordinates. They also began to work and collaborate with their allies, to help each other and boost their strength.

Bonna also gathered investments through her friends and other allies of their family. The suburbs of Berian city is a very huge projects that will cost more than half a billion. The Jenner and it's allies are busy increasing their strength. In order to strengthen the moral of their allies, in the martial arts association of oracle city, they released the news of the breakthrough of Robert, his two sons William and Martin, and Bob the butler. Robert, William and Bob has made a breakthrough to peak stage elite level while Martin made a breakthrough to late stage elite level. This shocked the whole martial arts community and wealthy families not only in the oracle city but in the neighboring cities too. To them the Jenners are too domineering, they also realize that the Jenners expressed their attitude. From now on the Jenners will be in the offensive...
