Looking at his son, Ronald frowned. He did not bother to respond, as he went online, to check for himself what was really happening.

And as he looked at the several pieces of information that had appeared online, he collapsed helplessly on the chair.

He understood what this implied. This time, the Kingsley family was really finished.

After all, with all this information, it was impossible for the Kingsley family to be able to continue working. They had connections yes, but it was not enough to be able to deal with this situation.

In most cases, as long as the information was not leaked, it would not be a problem to be able to deal with it as long as they had money.

But with the public against them, no matter how connected they were, it would be troublesome for them to be able to survive.

Without a doubt, the supermarket chain was bound to collapse. That was something that Ronald could clearly see, with his experience in the business world.

Looking at his father's expression, David was even more puzzled. He was not sure about what was going on.

He was relaxing in his room, playing some games to pass time. But then, he heard a commotion outside. When he left his room, he realized that the people within the mansion looked panicked.

When he asked, he was only told that the Kingsley family was going to collapse. That was why he rushed here as fast as possible, to ask his father what was going on.

And judging by the expression that was on his father's face, it was clear that the situation was not good.

"Dad, can you at least tell me what is going on? I am confused." David inquired once again.

Ronald shifted his gaze from the ceiling, looking at his son. This was the son that he was usually so proud of. But now, why did it feel like he began hating this kid?

Looking at it, it seemed that this kid might be the cause why the Kingsley family was collapsing.

The issue of the engagement between the two families, the Kingsley and the Morgans, it was because David had asked him for that. Since he usually liked David, Ronald agreed, and had some talks with the old man, Charles from the Morgan family.

After that, it was agreed that the two of them would get engaged in the following month.

But then again, it seemed that David got the news that Kate, his target, was together with another man. The relationship between the two of them seemed to be quite ambiguous, which was why David targeted him.

After his legs were broken, they decided to hire a hitman, who was supposed to take out Michael. It was not only for revenge for breaking David's leg, but also to discourage the Morgan family from continuing what they were doing.

The Morgan family was cutting all cooperation with the Kingsley family. He believed that the reason would be Michael. But as soon as Michael disappeared, the motivation would also disappear.

At that time, they could continue cooperating, which would stabilize the situation of the family business.

But now, not only did they not stabilize the family business, but instead, it was collapsing entirely.

As for Michael, since there was no news until now, most probably, he had not died either. And, from the looks of it, he was the one that was doing this, after realizing that they were the ones that had targeted him.

As for how he might have known, Ronald himself was not sure. After all, the Death Shadow organization was a big one, and they had never leaked the information of their clients.

But if Michael had a very big background, there was a possibility that he was able to know who was behind this. After all, the bounty on Michael wasn't big at all, at least as compared to some of the big bounties that could be found on the dark web of the organization.

"Just look online what is going on and you will understand." Finally, after an extended period of silence, Ronald said.

Despite his confusion, David took out his phone, before he went online, only to be left dumbfounded.

The headlines everywhere, in every platform that he went to, it was just about the Kingsley family and their dirty secrets.

Even those films that he had recorded when he tortured several girls, keeping them as a memento, had been leaked online.

And at the moment, the public opinion was completely against the Kingsley family. Additionally, several partners that David knew, they had publicly announced cutting ties with the Kingsley family.

As he saw all this, David felt his entire body freezing. At the same time, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, while his back was in just a short while drenched.

He understood what was going on. Since he was the one that was supposed to take over the mantle of leading the family, he of course understood business. And now, with all this online, it was inevitable that the family would collapse.

Additionally, it would not just be about the family collapsing, they would also face terrible fates.

"Dad, why don't you call uncle? If he intervenes, there is a possibility that he can salvage the situation, no matter how little. At least, as long as we don't go down immediately, we can definitely make a comeback." David suddenly asked after a while.

"Do you think that your uncle will be able to help in this situation? He is a police chief, but that is it. The news is online, and the person who has led to all this information appearing online is unknown.

Even if you have suspicions on who might be behind this, unless you have evidence, it is impossible to be able to make a move on them.

Additionally, considering the capability of acquiring all this information, even the ones that happened over a decade ago, it is clear that this person is not simple.

Do you think that your uncle will be willing to offend someone like that? After all, with a background that allows them to be able to get all this information, your uncle will have to back down.

You know him well. He is one of those people that usually bully the weak and fear the strong. He, a police chief of a city in the eastern province, how can he go against a big family from the central province?" Ronald explained with a helpless expression on his face.

Upon hearing this, David was also left speechless. He understood this, but he just tried, as long as anything could work.

After all, with the current situation that the family was in, it was inevitable that they would go bankrupt.

"Dad, since he is planning on making sure that we go bankrupt, why don't you just deal with him? Let's drag him down with us." David finally suggested after a moment of contemplation.

"What are you implying? Do you think that we have the capability to shake his background? Do you know his background? Do you have the capability of getting any dirt on them?" Ronald asked with a frown on his face.

"That is not what I am implying. Instead, I am thinking, why don't we just kill him? After killing him, we can just find a scapegoat, then, we'll have to look for a way of surviving after the family goes bankrupt." David explained.

He had already understood the fate of the family. It was impossible to make a turnaround with the way that the situation was at the moment.

The only way out was for them to survive, then make a comeback later on. They had to start from scratch once again. But good thing, not all their connections had been cut off.

While the connections in the bright side had been cut off due to the information online, the connections from the underworld were still there.

Ronald thought about it, but in the end, he simply should his head. He said, "Forget about that. An assassin from the death shadow organization failed to kill him. Do you think that someone who is not as skilled as a member of that organization will be able to do it?"

David gritted his teeth when he heard those words. He understood this, but he just could not accept it. He hated Michael so much.

It was not just about Michael getting close to the woman that he had targeted, but because Michael had also broken his leg. That was a humiliation that he was planning to pay later on.

He had previously thought that him being killed by an assassin was an easy way out. But now, it seemed that this guy was not that easy to deal with.

"Fine! Then, I'm definitely going to deal with that b*tch! She is supposed to be my woman. Even if I have to go down, I have to make sure that I take her down first." David exclaimed in anger.

Upon realizing that there was no solution to the current predicament, he could only try to find a way of making someone else suffer.

Since Michael was not an easy target, then, he was going to go after Kate. After all, she was not as formidable as Michael.

Pah!

"F*ck you! All that you ever think of is women! Do you not know that the reason why the family is facing this predicament might be because of you going after that girl?!" Accompanying the sound of a slap was Ronald's angry voice.
