Levante, the Maiyous family butler, attempts to negotiate with Bai Xiaosheng of the Anlos Family regarding cooperation and the return of Lorna. Despite Levante's efforts to be diplomatic, Bai Xiaosheng abruptly ends the discussion, citing the unsatisfactory attitudes of the Maiyous representatives. Levante is stunned and angered by Bai Xiaosheng's bluntness and refusal to continue the talks, questioning his competence.

Even Jim’s face grew darker.

"Mr. Bai, I think you’d better give Mr. Anlos a call and explain the situation. Acting so willfully, Mr. Anlos will not agree to this!" Jim said in a low voice.

Before Bai Xiaosheng could speak, Lin Weiwei snorted coldly and said domineeringly, "We don’t have that time!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression remained as it was.

Levante frowned deeply, glanced at Lin Weiwei, looked at Bai Xiaosheng, and was about to say something, but Bai Xiaosheng led the way out.

Subsequently, Lin Weiwei also pulled Lorna’s arm and followed him.

"You can leave, but she must come back with us. She is part of our family." Seeing this, Jim immediately tried to stop Lorna.

In his view, everything started because of Lorna, and as long as they brought this woman back, there would always be a way to make her speak and work for the family.

Lin Weiwei felt Lorna’s hand tightly gripping her, so she was about to stand up and angrily rebuke Jim.

At this moment, Lei Ying, like half an iron tower, stepped in from the side, separating the two sides.

"Mr. Jim, don’t come any closer. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your safety!" Lei Ying looked down at Jim, proud and indifferent.

This burly man, as solid as a mountain, slightly squeezed in, and Jim nearly lost his balance and quickly retreated, looking at the other with alarm.

Just like that, Levante and Jim watched as Bai Xiaosheng and the three others walked away with Lorna.

Furious, Levante could only shout at Bai Xiaosheng’s retreating figure, "You will bear all the consequences of today’s actions!"

Unfortunately, Bai Xiaosheng ignored the threat and warning as if he hadn’t heard it.

Watching Bai Xiaosheng and the others leave, Levante exhaled heavily and sat down with a thud.

Jim looked over there gloomily, then at Levante, "Mr. Levante, did we come all this way for nothing today, and just go back like this?"

"The Anlos Family—" Levante gritted his teeth, his breath slightly heavy, "Simply arrogant. I must report everything truthfully to Mr. Maiyous!"

Simply absurd!

Simply incomprehensible!

Just because of the trivial handling of a woman, this conversation ended?

This is not the thinking of a normal person.

Behind this reflects the arrogance and conceit of the Anlos Family!

"Could it be that they think because our family is heading eastward, they are the bosses here, and from the beginning, they haven’t taken us seriously. This is provocatively looking for trouble to refuse!" Jim said in a serious tone.

There is no more reasonable explanation!

Levante thought for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, speaking in a deep voice, "Young Master Jim, your analysis is very reasonable. The Anlos Family, after we’ve been away for so long, has become arrogant. It’s time to remind them who is the strongest family in West Africa, who is the existence they should fear!"

While speaking, Levante took out his phone, searched for a number, and dialed.

Seeing this, Jim immediately became solemn and listened intently.

Levante quickly got through on the phone and immediately showed a respectful expression, "Mr. Maiyous, this is Levante, I’m very sorry, there’s been a situation..."

...

On the other side, Bai Xiaosheng and his group went downstairs.

In the hotel lobby, the general manager was waiting there. Seeing Bai Xiaosheng and the others appear, he hurried over with a big smile.

"Mr. Bai... you finished your meeting so quickly? I’ve prepared a lunch banquet here, French, Japanese, or Chinese, here’s the menu..." The hotel general manager respectfully presented the prepared plan.

"No need, we’re not eating here." Bai Xiaosheng said politely.

Only then did the hotel general manager notice that, apart from Bai Xiaosheng, the others had odd expressions on their faces.

Linking to the fact that the meeting time was so short, the hotel general manager perceived something amiss and dared not speak further.

"Where is Miss Lorna currently staying?" Bai Xiaosheng asked, intending to send Lorna to her place first.

The downcast Lorna suddenly interjected, "Mr. Bai, I want to visit the orphanage."

Bai Xiaosheng looked at her.

Lin Weiwei said, "Then I’ll go with you."

"No, I know you all are busy. I also want to be with my friends alone." Lorna wiped her slightly damp eyes and laughed softly, "They are also my family."

Seeing this, Lin Weiwei nodded and said softly, "Call us anytime."

Lorna responded with a "Mm," and earnestly said, "You are also my real friends!"

The hotel manager, being very perceptive, immediately said, "I’ll arrange a car to take Miss Lorna over."

Bai Xiaosheng nodded upon hearing this.

They parted ways in the hotel lobby, Lorna took the car to the orphanage, while Bai Xiaosheng and the other two drove back to Walking Palace.

On the way, in the car, Bai Xiaosheng remained silent, seemingly pondering the future.

Having calmed down, Lin Weiwei sat beside him, seeming a bit uneasy, frequently glancing at Bai Xiaosheng.

"Do you have something to say?" Bai Xiaosheng came back to his senses and smiled at Lin Weiwei.

Lin Weiwei, like a little girl who had made a mistake, timidly said, "I, was I a bit too impulsive just now..."

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Lin Weiwei with a mix of amusement and exasperation and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think." Lin Weiwei thought for a moment, her voice rising, but seeing Bai Xiaosheng looking at her, she lowered her voice again, "I think, maybe a bit?"

"Who are you asking?" Bai Xiaosheng was amused by her.

Lei Ying, who was driving, plainly said, "Your intention was good, being passionate for a moment is understandable, but doing so makes Lorna’s situation difficult, and it creates a rift between the Anlos Family and the Maiyous Family, which is hard to explain to Mr. Anlos."

Lei Ying’s blunt remark made Lin Weiwei lose her momentum, "Why didn’t you all stop me then, weren’t you angry..."

"We could hold back." Lei Ying said candidly.

Lin Weiwei suddenly looked resentful and teary.

"Alright, alright, recognizing your mistake is good enough." Bai Xiaosheng saw through Lin Weiwei’s fake drama and laughed, "It’s also good that you made a fuss, I would have found a reason to refuse them eventually. Maybe I would have picked a fight because they entered the café with their left foot first."

With Bai Xiaosheng’s comment, Lin Weiwei immediately returned to normal, looking at him in surprise.

Even Lei Ying glanced through the rearview mirror.

"What do you mean, Xiaosheng?!" Lin Weiwei felt there was more to this.

Bai Xiaosheng leaned back and leisurely said, "If today was just a family reunion, it would be fine, but the Maiyous Family truly intends to return to West Africa, to Oshan. That’s not an issue. But, if they intend to ally with one side to exclude others and seize the market, that’s unacceptable."

"That would be like a shark invading a peaceful sea!"

Lei Ying suddenly realized the situation, saying, "The situation here is something we’ve worked hard to create, promoting cooperation for mutual benefit among all parties. This is the foundation for establishing a business alliance at this place, and we certainly can’t allow such an overbearing disruptor to appear, right."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled upon hearing this.

"I understand now!" Lin Weiwei also came to realize it.

"And also, I really dislike Levante’s emphasis, but the annoying part is that sacrificing oneself for the family is their value, and can’t be said to be wrong." Bai Xiaosheng murmured.

Lin Weiwei nodded repeatedly, then worriedly asked, "But how do we explain to Mr. Anlos..."

Lei Ying also looked at Bai Xiaosheng through the rearview mirror.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

"Later, I understood. Mr. Anlos might have already foreseen this, and the reason he invited me to step in is for me to make this decision."

"Now, I guess the Maiyous side is protesting to Mr. Anlos, guess what he will say."

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes sparkled, smiling as he continued.

"We must act immediately too, whether it’s Anlos, Hogson, or Brady, the only way forward is to cooperate with us wholeheartedly!"

"Also, my identity will soon be known by Maiyous, and we must properly inform Oshan as well!"

"Furthermore, since I’ve clashed with such a powerful family, isn’t this good news something Caroline should be made aware of!"
