MainNovelChapter 485 The Devil's Leverage Chapter 485 The Devil's Leverage Greg had no idea his younger brother was involved with White, nor did he know what does displease the so- called prince.
All he knew was that White suddenly pulled his funding from Nate's biotech projecs, The project had been halfway through when White abruptly withdrew, leaving Greg complerdy valios He visited White several times, but was turned away every time.
None of this was a secret. Johnathan found out quickly, Compared to Greg's misfortune, things on Johnathan's end were going almost too smoothly The branch family had quieted down completely. His two uncles had both been summoned for questioning, and everyone who once supported them had been thoroughly purged.
Most importantly, the government departments that had previously been pressuring him had gone silent – it was as if everyone had collectively decided to turn a blind eye.
"What's this all about?" Sierra asked. "It's going way too smoothly?" She didn't usually involve herself in Wynn family affairs, but she wasn't naïve.
If Johnathan had called it troublesome, there was no way it would just resolve itself so easily.
Johnathan chuckled. "He panicked. Got sloppy. Made mistakes." White had found no opening thanks to Johnathan's constant vigilance, so this entire mess was his desperate attempt to create one.
Sierra frowned. "Why's he in such a rush this time? It's not like him." White had always been good at pretending. This time, though, he was clearly slipping.

He had already instructed people to investigate any newly circulating drugs.
So far, there had been no solid leads.
Overseas, reports said that ever since the so-called "cleanup" of the organization, there hadn't been any new substances appearing on the market.
Even though they'd now narrowed in on White, his identity made things complicated. Without direct evidence, no one could touch him.
And that was exactly what White was relying on.
Sierra thought of that too and said, "Getting hard evidence on him might be impossible." ||| O 1/3 Chapter 485 The Devil's Leverage 14% +5 Free Coins Even if she offered herself as bait, he probably wouldn't do anything personally. Without his direct involvement, he couldn't be pinned for anything.
Johnathan had more than a dozen ways to make White disappear from this world, but doing so would throw two nations into chaos and send shockwaves through the global economy.
Their families were simply too powerful. Any move would trigger a ripple effect.
But letting things drag on wasn't an option either.
"Maybe," Johnathan said slowly, "we need to go after the root." "What do you mean?" Sierra turned to look at him.
"White's greatest leverage is his family. I've already found out that many in his family don't support him. If we can get them to abandon him, he'll be much easier to deal with. I'm currently trying to reach out to sof them." Johnathan turned the ring on his finger as he spoke..
White had actually given him the idea.
White had turned Johnathan's uncles against him. Johnathan could return the favor- by turning White's family against him.
The most effective way would be to go straight to White's father. But from what he'd heard, that man was extremely ruthless. Johnathan figured it was safer to start with someone else.
What he didn't expect was for Chase to find him first.
"I heard you've been trying to contact Victor's family." Chase got straight to the point.
After Wayne's death, Chase had left the capital with Susie and Jose. Johnathan didn't expect that Chase's first act upon returning would be this.

"How do you know?" He'd been handling the matter discreetly - yet somehow the news had reached Chase.
Chase grew agitated. "Never mind how I know. Just tell- is it true?" "It is," Johnathan replied with a nod.
Chase sucked in a sharp breath, his expression turning urgent.
"Why are you trying to contact Victor's family? What exactly are you planning? Johnathan, please - don't reach out to them. Don't do this."
His tone was calm, even gentle - but even now, in a moment like this, he couldn't bring himself to order.
Johnathan outright. 2/3 14.24 Tue, 15 JUI Chapter 485 The Devil's Leverage Johnathan looked at him and suddenly realized this had to do with the secret they'd always been hiding, He hadn't bothered digging deeper in the past because he'd stopped caring.
But now, it seemed he'd unknowingly stepped right into the heart of it.
Chase probably realized there was no more hiding it.
He sighed and said, "You've never met Victor. That man is a complete lunatic – he has no reason, boundaries. If he ever finds out you're Susie and my son, he will do everything in his power to take revenge on the Wynn family. And you know what kind of influence Victor's family has internationally. If we go head-to-head, it'll be mutually destructive."
