Lord death is now back home

Chapter 1241: Marie's Call for Help

Crazy Steer Headquarters. Ironheart Steer, the leader of Crazy Steer. Initially, Ironheart Steer was just a minor figure. But after Chris Shelby swept through the dark underbelly of the East Coast, creating a power vacuum, Ironheart Steer seized the opportunity and rapidly developed Crazy Steer into a top-tier gang on the East Coast. Unfortunately, above him was the East Coast Security Company. James Mester had consolidated all underground resources on the East Coast to form the East Coast Security Company. Now, the East Coast Security Company had three hundred thousand members and controlled the entire underground world of the East Coast. James Mester was undoubtedly the underground overlord of the East Coast!

Just now, James Mester called, saying that his subordinate Jimmy Cock had offended someone he shouldn't have and demanded an immediate apology from Jimmy Cock. Ironheart Steer didn't dare to oppose James Mester and immediately ordered Jimmy Cock to apologize. However, this feeling of being subservient was extremely frustrating.

"Master Steer, how does it feel to be under someone's thumb? If you cooperate with me, once we overthrow Chris Shelby, I'll let you replace James Mester and become the overlord of the East Coast! What do you think?" Daniel Williams sat across from Ironheart Steer, looking at him with a smirk.

After leaving Jefferson Village empty-handed without obtaining the Dragon Emblem fragment, Daniel Williams was unwilling to give up. He knew Chris Shelby was his arch-enemy and had to be killed. However, Chris Shelby's strength was formidable, making it no easy task to kill him. But as a prince of Amerosia, Daniel Williams quickly thought of a plan. The strongest fortresses are always breached from within. The East Coast was Chris Shelby's stronghold and where his wife and children resided. To deal with Chris Shelby, one must first deal with the East Coast. The East Coast Security Company was a crucial tool for Chris Shelby's control over the East Coast.

Daniel Williams aimed to destroy the East Coast Security Company and sever one of Chris Shelby's arms. Supporting Ironheart Steer to become a rival to the East Coast Security Company was an excellent strategy. He only needed to stay in the shadows.

Hearing Daniel Williams' proposal to replace James Mester and become the overlord of the East Coast made Ironheart Steer's heart race. Truthfully, Ironheart Steer was an ambitious man who always wanted to dominate the East Coast. Unfortunately, James Mester was too powerful for his small Crazy Steer gang to contend with.

Although Daniel Williams' proposal was tempting, Ironheart Steer wasn't foolish. He hadn't survived this long by being naive. Ironheart Steer chuckled lightly and said, "Your Highness, I must admit your proposal is enticing. But you know Chris Shelby is the king of the East Coast, and James Mester is his trusted lieutenant. Toppling Chris Shelby won't be easy."

Daniel Williams waved his hand dismissively and said, "I don't need you to deal with Chris Shelby; I only need you to handle James Mester! I'll take care of Chris Shelby myself! Besides, with your current strength, you're no match for Chris Shelby!"

"Is that so..."

Only dealing with James Mester and not Chris Shelby made Ironheart Steer hesitate slightly. Going against Chris Shelby would be suicidal, but dealing with James Mester was different. James Mester was just one of Chris Shelby's lackeys.

Seeing Ironheart Steer's hesitation, Daniel Williams squinted and smiled, "Master Steer, you only get one chance in life. If you miss it now, you'll never get it again! Cooperate with me, and taking down James Mester will be within reach."

"But James Mester's security company has three hundred thousand members while my Crazy Steer has just over ten thousand people. How can we possibly be a match for him?" Ironheart Steer finally voiced his concern.

The gap in strength between Crazy Steer and the East Coast Security Company was too vast. Going against James Mester seemed like hitting a stone with an egg.

Daniel Williams waved his hand again and said, "That's not an issue; I'll provide you with substantial funds and plenty of military equipment! Your current task is not to confront James Mester but to grow rapidly by absorbing other gangs. Once you're strong enough, you'll have what it takes to deal with James Mester!"

"Master Steer, with my support, what are you hesitating for? If you hesitate any longer, I'll have to find someone else to cooperate with. And if I do that, it might be your Crazy Steer that gets wiped out!" Daniel Williams threatened as he stared at Ironheart Steer.

Ironheart Steer hesitated for a moment. He knew it would be difficult not to cooperate with Daniel Williams now. If Daniel Williams partnered with another gang and they gained his support, they would surely destroy Crazy Steer.

Given this situation, it was better to cooperate with Daniel Williams. If successful, he could replace James Mester and become the overlord of the East Coast!

With this thought in mind, Ironheart Steer knelt down completely.

"Your Highness, from today onwards, I am your man. Whatever direction you point me in, I will follow without hesitation. Ironheart Steer swears loyalty unto death!"

"Hahaha!" Seeing Ironheart Steer's submission made Daniel Williams laugh triumphantly. "Good! Good! Master Steer work well with me; I won't treat you poorly. One day soon enough this entire East Coast wil belong to us!"

During this time...

Chris Shelby lived a leisurely life now that the East Coast was solidly under control.

Phoenix led one hundred thousand Guards of Death stationed near the East Coast externally while Michael managed internal affairs with Tiger assisting him.

For any illegal activities or disturbances affecting public order, there was James Mester leading the East Coast Security Company ensuring peace throughout-making it impregnable without needing extra attention from him.

Chris Shelby's primary task now became taking care of his wife and daughter at home.

Suddenly...

Chris Shelby's phone rang unexpectedly-a call from an unknown number.

"Hello? Who is this?" he answered curiously only hearing Marie's voice on another end-a familiar female voice belonging Harold Jefferson's sister whom Harold must've given his number too! "Hello Mr. Shelby?"

Recognizing her voice immediately prompted curiosity within him asking directly: "Marie why are you calling?"

"Waaahhh..." Suddenly breaking into tears startled him momentarily before anxiously asking again: "Marie what happened?"

"Mr. Shelby I can't explain over phone please come quickly-to East Coast University?"
