Chapter 242: Pulling Strings, Wilson Family’s Predicament

Kate was surprised when she heard this. Previously, she had heard that Evan had been dismissed from the training camp.

His qualifications to join Nexus had been revoked, which was why he had not appeared in the training area for quite a while now.

Unexpectedly, he had actually come back? It seemed that there was more to this, most probably related to that brother of his that he previously mentioned.

Regardless, apart from the slight surprise, Kate was not much bothered. Whether he came back or not, it was not her concern.

In any case, apart from the conflict that they had previously, there was nothing much going on between them. So, they were just strangers with each other, so, she was not concerned about his issues.

Seeing Kate’s reaction, Lina thought for a moment before she asked, "Do you know why he came back?"

"How am I even supposed to know about that, when you are the one who just informed me about his return?" Kate asked as she looked at Lina with a helpless expression.

"Oh, right. I forgot about that. Anyway, I heard that his brother spent almost all the merits that he had accumulated within NEXUS, which is why he had been allowed to come back.

But, in case he misbehaves and does not follow the rules, he would be completely banned from ever joining NEXUS, even if another person is willing to spend their merits to bring him back." Lina nodded, before she explained.

The issue concerning the merits was nothing new to Kate. After all, before she left Brenton city, Michael had explained to her about NEXUS.

So, her knowledge of NEXUS was quite deep, and might even be above some of the recently recruited members, of course, not the current recruits, who were mostly completely clueless about NEXUS.

As if she suddenly thought of something, Kate looked at Lina and asked, "By the way, there is usually something that I forget to ask you about almost every time."

"Huh? What is it?" Lina asked with raised brows.

"It is like this, you know, most of the time, when we are out, we are usually together. And, during the time that we are back in the dormitories, we sleep on the same bunker bed.

I’m wondering, just how are you always able to hear the rumors that you usually tell me, when I did not? Did you perhaps eavesdrop on someone at night when I was asleep?" Kate expressed her doubts.

To this, Lina revealed a mysterious smile as she said, "Do you believe that I have some special ability? You know, my hearing is incredible."

Kate did not believe anything that Lina had said. Instead, she just thought, Lina did not have the intention of telling her.

In any case, it wasn’t anything big. So, she decided not to think much about it, instead, focus on what was ahead.

...

On the other side, Michael went back to Riverside residential area together with Marion.

When they got there, she sat in the living room, while Michael went back to his room to communicate with Onyx.

Even though he had already revealed quite a lot in front of Marion, Michael wasn’t really much worried.

The system store contained quite a number of things that could be used to deal with the situation. So, if there was a need, he wouldn’t mind finding something that could possibly erase memories from Marion.

"Onyx, find for me all the information regarding the Wilson family, so that I can understand what is going on with them. By the way, focus on my mother, Cynthia Wilson, and her relationship with the Wilson family." As soon as he entered his bedroom, Michael spoke.

"Yes. Give me a moment, please." Onyx swiftly responded.

Then, Michael thought of something and instructed, "By the way, I hope that you would be paying attention to what is happening around me. That way, in case there is something that is mentioned, you can help me look into it, so that I can get the information fast."

"Copy that." Onyx responded.

There was a moment of silence that extended for almost 20 seconds, before finally, Onyx responded that it had acquired all the information on the Wilson family.

Michael swiftly transformed the smartwatch on his wrist into a laptop, before he began going through the information provided by Onyx.

While Onyx could simply read out the information for him, Michael could read it faster than Onyx could spell out the words.

So, it took Michael quite a while to be able to go through the information, before he finally understood the situation.

The Wilson family was located in the capital, Danvill city. There wasn’t much of a relationship between them and the Santos family.

Maybe, the only relationship that could exist between them was that, Michael’s father, Zachary, loved his mother, and the two of them had been dating for quite a while.

On both sides, it turned out that their families had already made arrangements for their future partners. But since the two of them loved each other, they were against the planned engagements.

Neither of the two mentioned anything to the family before they eloped. As for why that was the case, it was mainly because the Wilson family did not like the Santos family.

For most of the families within the capital, they knew quite well that the Santos family was the force behind the silent order syndicate.

So, the Wilson family would never want to get themselves involved with a group of gangsters. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Regardless, after going through the information, Michael realized that his was treated well within the family. It was only the issue regarding the marriage that brought the conflict.

As for the current situation of the Wilson family, it wasn’t tricky for Michael to be able to deal with.

First of all, the Wilson family had a net worth of around $47 billion. That was quite a huge amount, though, when compared to the big forces within the capital, it was barely qualified to be mentioned as a big force of the capital, though it was at the lowest end.

As for the Laito family that was against the Wilson family, its net worth was slightly higher, at $57 billion.

While the difference between them was just $10 billion, it was enough to be able to cause huge problems for the Wilson family.

Additionally, the Laito family had no intention of destroying the Wilson family. Instead, they were thinking about absorbing the Wilson family, merging it with theirs.

That way, not only would the wealth of the Laito family increase tremendously, but they would be able to increase their influence as well.

At the moment, they were putting pressure on Marion’s, so that they could agree to a collaboration. As for the details of the collaboration, once Michael went through it, he understood why Marion’s parents were against it.

On the surface, it seemed that it was a collaboration. But in the long run, it was just the Laito family siphoning the wealth of the Wilson family, and it was just a matter of time before they completely drained them.

According to the information, it seemed that Marion’s grandparents were the first generation of the Wilson family. They were the ones who had built the Wilson family, bringing it to such a level.

Of course, it wasn’t from scratch, but they had built on the foundation that previously existed.

Still, this family did not have many relatives, at least, they did not have much contact with those from the extended family.

And according to the information, the grandparents only had two children, Cynthia and Marion’s father.

Then, with Cynthia’s disappearance, only Marion’s father remained. Unfortunately, after having Marion, he lost his ability to have children.

Of course, if it had been the wife, the guy could have just married another wife, to prolong the lineage of the Wilson family. Unfortunately, that was impossible.

Without Cynthia, it was inevitable that Marion was the only heiress to the Wilson family’s wealth. The Wilson family had the intention of having someone marry into the family.

But with the Laito family putting pressure on them, all the prospects that they had found for Marion had all decided to back down.

And, the Laito family had proposed a marriage, with the young master of the Laito family. This implied, they wanted Marion to marry into the Laito family.

But since she was the only heiress of the Wilson family, it would be inevitable that when she was married, everything that belonged to her, would belong to her husband as well.

And if that happened, everything regarding the Wilson family would end.

Michael remained silent for quite a while, after going through the information. It seemed that the situation regarding the Wilson family was quite problematic.

Still, this was something simple for Michael to be able to deal with. In fact, he did not even need to personally intervene. All that was needed was just a single call, and everything would be solved.

Thinking about this, Michael went back to the living room, finding that Marion was still seated on the couch.

He went to the kitchen, and poured her a glass of juice, which she thanked him as she received the glass of juice.

As she took a sip of the juice, her mind was in chaos. She was not really sure how to communicate with Michael, despite the fact that the two of them were cousins.

Judging by the situation here, it seemed that Michael was doing well. But, this was just a small city. Would he really have the capability of dealing with a big family in the capital?

As she placed the glass of juice down, she looked at Michael and asked, "If I may ask, can I see auntie? It has been many years since I last saw her."
