Chapter 533 Investigating the Brown Family (2)_1
"Alright, alright, no more joking around, let’s get down to business. What brings you and Xiang to BL this time? I heard from my guys that your Dragon Society is investigating the Brown Family. What’s going on, how did they manage to tick off the Dragon Society?" Austin dropped the casual demeanor he had been displaying.
"We came to BL this time for no other reason than to deal with the Brown Family affair," Xia Yujie revealed candidly to Austin, as they had come to understand each other through lengthy phone conversations over time.
"Hey, the Brown Family really got under your skin? How could they be so blind as to provoke the Dragon Society?" Austin, who had been joking earlier, threw out this question, not expecting that he’d actually hit the nail on the head.
"It’s more than just being blind. I’d say they’re just asking for a beating." While speaking with Austin, Liu Yuxiang showed Xia Yujie what Brown Kress and Brown Lya had done to Situ Xin at the PRATY. On seeing this, Xia Yujie became utterly incensed by the Brown Family’s conduct.
"What exactly did they do to you? Tell your brother here, so I can help you let off some steam." The angrier Xia Yujie got, the more curious Austin became. Since meeting Xia Yujie up to now, he couldn’t recall a time when Xia had been angry. Usually, Xia appeared as unshakeable as Mount Tai, as though nothing could bother him.
"I have nothing to say about that, only that there is someone in the Brown Family who has crossed the line with those they shouldn’t have." When Xia Yujie talked about the Brown Family, he might not have been grinding his teeth with rage, but he was close to it.
"Looks like you’re pretty fired up," observed Austin. Seeing that Xia Yujie wouldn’t divulge more, he didn’t press further. Austin understood that even between the closest of friends, some secrets had to be kept. However, this didn’t stop him from considering both Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang as friends. "I won’t ask about the specifics, but if there’s anything you need me for, just let me know."
"Thank you," said Xia Yujie, his gratitude genuine.
"No need to be so formal. If you really want to thank me, hit me up for a meal sometime, so we can bond a bit. It’ll also let our Mafia brothers and your Dragon Society guys know our families are on good terms. So they wouldn’t always be at each other’s throats. You and Xiang won’t be in the loop if I’m on it, and trust me, that has been driving me crazy," Austin complained.
"The minor skirmishes can be overlooked, but we should indeed go out for a meal together. That ought to sober up those scheming behind our backs," Xia Yujie recalled the recent updates from Tiger about BL’s situation. Some were trying to drive a wedge between the Dragon Society and the Mafia for their own gains, looking to profit from the discord between the two sides.
