Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Chapter 460 - Destruction



Noah sat with an inscrutable face as the people around him looked on. Though they could not decipher what was running in mind, they could sense his anger from where they were. Noah was beyond furious, and his eyes said it all. He was glaring at everyone, even though they were not at fault.

Maggie's words kept repeating in his mind, making it impossible for him to concentrate. 'Charles, that bastard.' Noah clenched his fists, anger surging through, making his men shiver. Taking a deep breath, Noah tried to calm himself down. He had to be sane if he were to deal with his enemies. Losing control would only give them an edge over him. 

"Hello guys, you might already know the reason why we have met here today." He started, keeping his temper in check. He did not want to unleash his wrath on people who had not done anything to him or his family. "As you all know that Jared is my arch-nemesis, and he is using all tricks possible to bring me down."

There was pin-drop silence as everyone listened to what Noah was speaking. Everyone present in the hall knew the enmity Jared had with Noah. Jared wanted the ultimate power, and he could only get it if he defeated Noah and took over his position. But it was impossible, for Noah was not a man who could be defeated that easily. Moreover, he had Ian and Joshua as his support. The three men ruled the country, and they were undefeatable.

"From Maggie's words here, you would have already grasped the situation we are in. He wants to destroy me, and he has already put his disgusting plans into action. So, before he gets to me and hurts anybody around me, including anyone from the Underworld, we need to deal with him and take him down once and for all." His men nodded at him, while Ivy and Maggie looked at him with a frown. The only person who did not show any sort of reaction was Oliver. He sat calmly as though he was watching the regular news instead of being in a meeting, where people were discussing the plan to bring down one of the dangerous men alive.

Noah observed his expression. But he did not comment about it. He knew his father-in-law had a plan in mind. Yet, Noah wanted to finish what he had in mind before he asked for his insight. "As we have found out, Jared does not operate alone. He had a Godfather backing that man, and currently, this man is in the hospital."

"Boss, why don't we just kill that man in the hospital? Nobody will find out about it." One of the men suggested. But Noah shook his head at once, discarding his plan completely.

"No. I never attack someone at their lowest point. We need a proper strategy, and killing the old man when he is sick is not my style. It is completely against my moral obligations. Also, this might only lead to more problems if he were to die suddenly in the hospital when all he had was just a small fluctuation in his blood pressure."

"I need a better plan to remove the trouble as well as its root so that it won't grow again. We will attack them when this man gains consciousness. Jared will have to bow before us when he finds out about his Godfather." Noah frowned, wondering if Jared would even budge if he were to abduct this old man. "Or that is what I hope. But even if he doesn't, it's fine. This Godfather is one of the people I was searching for. I have some scores to equal with him." Noah gritted his teeth when he remembered the way his mentor Theo was shot dead by the scoundrel.

Although nobody knew what Noah was talking about, they could grasp his mindset and his intentions. The man did not have any desire to let those people go. It was time for war, a war that would destroy Jared if executed well. But if things backfired, then Noah would be ruined beyond repair.

"Nobody is to speak about the plan or this meeting once you leave this mansion. I do not want the spies to know about them. So, until they are taken care of, I do not want anybody else to find out about it." Noah warned, running his eyes across the hall, the threat evident in his tone. "Also, I need to know about all the warehouses of the Vipers gang. Until this Godfather wakes up, we will deal with Jared. If you find anyone from that gang, shoot them without hesitation." 

After receiving Noah's orders, the men left one by one. Tim glanced at Maggie, who was talking to Ivy before he nodded at Noah and took his leave. Now, it was only Ivy, Oliver, Maggie, and Noah, along with Ronnie in the room. Though Ian was in the mansion, he had not joined the meeting, for he was exhausted from his work, and he had gone to sleep the moment he had entered the mansion. Anyway, Noah would brief him about the plan when he woke up.

"Mr. West, I presume, you had something to tell me." Noah directed his attention to the man, who had not spoken a word during the meeting. Noah had been scared to think that his father-in-law would be disgusted after finding out his dangerous side. But the man had not reacted in any way, increasing his trepidation as time ticked by. No reaction was horrible than an unfavorable reaction.

"Ah," Noah's voice brought Oliver out of his stupor. "I am sorry. Did you say something? I am sorry I missed it."

"Mr. West, I was wondering if you wanted to say something to me. It looked like you had a plan at hand."

"Yes, I do have a plan." Oliver placed his hand below his chin, comprehending his next words. "Noah, when will the news channel start operating?"

Noah's brows furrowed, wondering why the old man was asking this question again when he already knew the answer. Yet, he replied to him. "Mr. West, it was supposed to start operating next Monday, the same day we had the hotel inauguration as well as the game release."

"I see. Do you think we can still do it? Will Joshua be able to release his game on the scheduled date?"

"I am not sure, Mr. West. I will have to enquire about it. He might be able to do it. We still have five days." Noah answered, still unable to comprehend what the man wanted to do.

"Noah, if we can go ahead with our original plan, can you keep a spot open? I might have something that might help you destroy Jared." Oliver raised his eyebrows, and Noah tilted his head, a wicked gleam passing through his face. His lips rose in amusement, unable to believe his father-in-law's evil side which he had hidden brilliantly.

"Don't look at me that way, son. I have seen a lot of things in my field of work, and I have realized that only a more powerful person can deal with a powerful person. Moreover, Jared is a scumbag, trash. It is no use handing him to the police, for he will escape easily if as Maggie says, there are people supporting him within the system." Oliver did not hesitate to show his displeasure in the authorities that dealt with such people. "Every place is filled with corrupt people, and Jared knows how to make use of them."

"I agree, Mr. West. I will keep a spot open if we were to follow the initial schedule." Noah smiled wickedly, and Oliver returned it with a smile of his own. "Get ready, Jared. Your destruction is awaiting you."
