?<strong>Chapter 917:</strong>


    “Find her! I want her located, dead or alive! I want to see her!” Enzo ordered with renewed determination. Brook silently acknowledged themand and ended the call.


    Enzo losing his cool wasn’t unexpected to him. Since Jayden had cut ties with the Owen family, he had be bolder and more defiant.


    Jayden’s decision to redirect hispany’s focus to international markets and precisely target the Owen Group’s vulnerabilities had rmed Enzo. However, despite Owen Group’s efforts to dissuade local businesses from partnering with Jayden, the promise of tremendous profits was too tempting for most.


    Even if they irritated the Owens by coborating with Jayden, they still chose to do so for the sake of profits. Ironically, the Owen Group’s pressure became a filter; only bold and daringpanies controlled by well-known families within the industry had the guts to defy them.


    In short, weakerpanies avoided Jayden, but serious partners flocked to him, helping him solidify his position. Watching Jayden thrive and grow despite his efforts to stifle him left Enzo deeply concerned.


    But because this was foreign territory where the Owen Group had little sway, Enzo turned to the Hudsons, who operated in the shadows. The Hudsons thrived in the ck market, and their dealings were shady. Enzo’s outreach gave Charlie, who had always wanted to legitimize his reputation, a chance to step out from the darkness.


    Charlie had long sought to shed his image as an underworld crime lord, believing that no one wishes to remain in the dark forever. He also longed to appear on news channels as a legitimate businessman.


    With Jayden’s business moving into areas the Hudsons could exploit, Charlie and Enzo quickly allied, plotting to seize Jayden’s assets. But s, Enzo’s gamble failed spectacrly.


    Jayden decimated Charlie’s men in a single blow, cutting off Enzo’s overseas support. Brook, witnessing the entire drama, remained an observer. He could tell Enzo had not anticipated Jayden’s countermeasures. As Jayden began to expand abroad, he was well aware that he would face threats like the Hudsons and was well-prepared.


    What was more, Jayden and Charlie had a history. Jayden had been biding his time, waiting for the right moment to strike. With Charlie making the first move, Jayden seized the opportunity without hesitation and made full use of it. Brook understood this better than Enzo, but he chose to stay silent and let events unfold.


    Standing before a wall with bullet holes, Brook kept his expression neutral, waiting to see if things would turn out as he expected.


    Meanwhile, Elyse, bundled in a nket, sneezed and epted the water Jayden offered her.
