Chapter 1628: Chapter 1627: Trouble Still Remains

Having returned to the County Town, it was very late when Peter Brown washed up and lay down on his bed.

Peter hadn’t been too concerned about the Examination initially, as he was confident in his answers; the questions were not difficult for someone well-read like him.

Upon thinking about it more, there indeed were quite a few questions that went beyond the provided material and were challenging, but even then, they didn’t stump Peter.

Now, there was a lingering concern in his mind, and that was the issue with Rylan Williams.

Although he was currently peacefully coexisting with Carter Clan’s people, Peter was very clear that if there was any mishap and Rylan really got the upper hand over him, he would face extremely perilous situations.

What to do?

Of course, Peter wouldn’t stay passive; he knew he had to take some actions.

Ideas kept coming to him, and Peter was also rejecting those ideas.

The Carter Clan was a behemoth like existence. Even if he wanted to take down their people, he couldn’t expose himself, which was a conclusion Peter reached after some thought.

After all, they had too many allies and former associates. Even if he did turn the tables on Carter Clan’s people, it wouldn’t benefit him.

Then there was the matter with Rylan Williams. Whether the Carter Clan would retaliate strongly if Rylan was attacked was another consideration for Peter.

Peter initially thought about secretly dealing with Rylan, but he quickly dismissed this idea. Not to mention the possibility of retaliation from Carter Clan’s people if they suspected his involvement, even Rylan’s elder sister could easily deal with him in a minute.

In this matter, there could be no room for error for Peter, as those powerful families looked down on him like Giant Beings looking at lesser beings; hence, except for a sure kill, Peter wouldn’t make a hasty move.

Take down the people of the Carter Clan from top to bottom? Peter also considered this, but after some thought, he became worried. Given the extensive network of Carter Clan’s followers and insiders, if any leader close to them remembered his conflict with Rylan and decided to take action against him, just a single word from them would be enough to deal with him.

This was truly a difficult matter!

However, Peter also knew he couldn’t delay this matter as Carter Clan’s people were shifting some evidence. Once they finished, it would probably be time for them to sort him out.

After thinking for a few days, Peter now had a plan. He needed to handle this matter covertly—even if he was dealing with them, they must not realize it was him behind it all to ensure his safety.

At that moment, Peter slapped his forehead, realizing there was one aspect he hadn’t considered, which could have led to trouble.

Currently, everyone regarded him as one of Rylan Williams’ men. If the Carter Clan and Rylan were to fall, how would others view him? They would definitely assume he also lost his backing. In such a case, in order to please those who had dealt with the Carter Clan, they would certainly tidy him up, and then he truly wouldn’t be able to clarify the matter.

Thinking over this a while, Peter couldn’t help but give a wry smile. Outsiders were sure of his close relationship with Rylan, viewing him as a trusted follower, but who knew Rylan secretly despised him to death.

No, he couldn’t bring down the Carter Clan all at once. The best method was for the Carter Clan to fall while others still saw his own backers.

But where could he find such a backing?

The key issue was still his lack of information; he didn’t know which power was against the Carter Clan. If he could find a power that conflicted with the Carter Clan, that would solve everything.

He might as well use his cell phone to eavesdrop again; if he could uncover some situation, that would be great.

Recently, Rylan and his people had been making more calls, but Peter hadn’t been able to figure out who they were dealing with.

Just as Peter was about to go to sleep, he unexpectedly discovered that Rylan was using a different number to talk to someone.

Having learned from the last time Rylan had changed his number, Peter had improved his program. By tapping into the computers at Rylan’s house during such calls, and after setting up a little program, no matter what cell phone or number Rylan used, as long as it had been used in front of that computer before, Peter would get to know his new phone or number’s details immediately, allowing him to eavesdrop again.

Rylan was clearly using an entirely new number to make the call now.

"I’m telling you, Liam Robertson, what kind of person is Leo Jones to dare disrespect me like this? Does he think his old man is someone significant? Newcomers really think we, the Carter Clan, are scared of them. Have someone watch him secretly, and just wait until the opportune moment to see if I don’t deal with him."

"Young Master, does the Master know you plan to do this?"

"What, can’t I even command you now?"

"Young Master, this is a critical time; we can’t afford any slip-ups if the Master is aiming for a higher position."

"Forget it, damn it, what ill luck have I run into recently, constantly being bullied by others. Oh right, try to find someone to deal with that Peter Brown; that shouldn’t be too difficult, right?"

"Don’t worry, Young Master, I’m already arranging it. He won’t even know what hit him."

They indeed intended to deal with him!

Peter saw them hang up, then he called Rylan’s new phone number with another phone.

"Rylan, haha, still not asleep so late at night? A friend just told me that you had someone named Liam Robertson target me behind my back. Well then, I’m about to divulge all that information, what do you think?"

Rylan was immediately flustered and hurriedly said, "No, that’s definitely not true, he completely misheard. Rest assured, I would never do anything against you. You’re really being overly cautious."

"Rylan, I’ve always been sincere with you; what you’re doing isn’t right!"

After hanging up, Peter began to eavesdrop.

Indeed, Rylan soon made a call and then said, "Liam, forget it, let’s stop the matter regarding dealing with Peter Brown."

Liam, unaware of the situation, simply responded affirmatively.

Seeing Rylan indeed stopped the action against him, Peter couldn’t feel happy. The other party was ready to take action against him at any moment; he couldn’t be careless.

Considering this, Peter couldn’t sleep anymore. He sat there, thinking deeply for a while, feeling he truly needed to find someone capable of dealing with this. As long as he found such a person, he could take care of the Carter Clan’s people discreetly.

This matter had now become Peter’s top priority.

With his mind preoccupied, it was the first time Peter struggled to fall asleep.
