When Mido heard this, he felt as if he’d been struck by a bolt of lightning! He immediately stepped in front of his father, and with
an anxious tone he spoke a little incoherently, “Dad, that... No, Dad! We can’t refuse this cooperation from the Banks Family in
any way.
It’s a matter of the life and death of our family, Dad!”
Wilfred couldn’t help frowning and asking, “What a joke! I don’t wish to cooperate with his Banks Family, so it’s suddenly a matter
of life or death for our family? This kind of cooperation has been your wish from the beginning.
Since I don’t want to cooperate with him, then are you going to force me to!?”
Mido almost collapsed and blurted out, “Oh, Dad! Why are you so stupid!? What is the size of the Banks Family? How could we
possibly provoke them? If we don’t eat their food or drink their wine, then in the future, once the Banks Family views us as the
enemy, how can we gain a foothold in the world?”
Wilfred immediately scolded, “Mido! In your eyes, if my Elms family leaves the Banks Family, it would be impossible to gain a
foothold in the world? Don’t forget, my Elms family is one of the four major martial arts families in the entire country! When the
family was ranked among the top four martial arts families in the country, nothing happened to the Banks Family!”
Mido did not expect his father’s attitude to be so determined.
He turned his head and gritted his teeth and glared at Kairi, and sternly reprimanded her, “Kairi! What kind of ecstasy did you
give to our father? Don’t you know how good the opportunity is in front of us! If we miss such a good opportunity because of you,
then you are a sinner!”
Wilfred couldn’t bear it and shouted angrily, “That’s enough! Shut up!”
Mido was shocked by his father’s voice.
Wilfred looked at his son coldly, and said, “I didn’t expect that I could raise such a soft son! It is MY decision not to cooperate
with the Banks Family, and I will never again change my mind.
If you say one more thing, I will punish you with one month’s imprisonment!”
Mido suddenly felt thunderous.
He knew that what he missed was a huge sum of 2 billion a year.
With that money he could’ve lived the most luxurious life in the world.
Oh what luxury houses, yachts, and airplanes he could’ve purchased with that money, but that dream was shattered.
His villa in Sanya? He could’ve bought villas in Hong Kong, America, France and Switzerland! With two billion dollars, he could
buy a luxury cruise ship with everything to travel around the world.
With two billion, he could buy a private jet and go wherever he wants 24 hours a day!
He would no longer need to guard the small village of Astoria! He would no longer have to live in such a frozen place! It was the
pinnacle of his existence, and the dreams, the beautiful dreams... they lasted only one night, and were completely shattered
before the sun had completely risen the following morning.
Seeing his son look as if he’d lost his soul, Wilfred sighed, then shook his hand and said to Kairi, “Kairi, follow me to see Adrian
Peters!”
Kairi hurriedly nodded, “Yes dad!”
Seeing his father and sister walking away, Mido hurriedly followed.
At that moment he made a decision deep within his heart.
Since his father was stubborn and foolish, he would separate from him directly! At that time, He’d take all the Elms family who
were willing to cooperate with the Banks Family and who were willing to leave Astoria to enjoy the glory and wealth!

Meanwhile, Adrian Peters was leisurely eating breakfast in the dining hall of the Elms family compound.
The Elms family was very large and required a large dining area, so hundreds of people could eat in the canteen at the same
time.
