Chapter 20: Anderson Mellon
+15 BONUS
Anderson Mellon, the head of the Mellon Family was a decisive and ruthless businessman who was known to many in New Spring.
The Tycoons in the City believed his decisive behavior had earned him the respect and recognition of one of the City’s power–playing Families.
Mr. Anderson was not a man to hesitate and he sometimes gave no opportunity for an explanation.
The Mellon Family is well respected and for this reason, The Yorke Family can be brazen enough to carry out whatever action they desire, knowing they have the backing of Anderson Mellon.
“Mr. Anderson!” The Elder of the Yorke Family quickly acted like a wronged child as he approached Anderson Mellon and said, “You have to help me, Mr. Anderson”
His
s fiery gaze turned in the direction of William and he continued, “This man dared to abuse the Yorke family and injured my bodyguards. He even said the Mellon family cannot do anything to him”
The Elder lied knowing how angry the head of the Mellon Family would get.
“He dares to say nonsense because he knows a few fighting skills. Save our faces so this man would not say nonsense about our family in the future”
The expression on Mr. Anderson’s face had remained cold and no one could tell what he was thinking but what no one expected was his next action..
He struck the Elder across the face with his walking cane and there was a cut as he stumbled in shock.
“You!” Mr. Anderson roared at him, “Do you think you can continue to soil the name of the Mellon?”
The man on the ground was stupefied but he managed to stammer, “Mr. Anderson, I’ve done nothing wrong. It’s this man here who insulted the Yorke and the Anderson. We must not let him go free”
Mr. Anderson’s face became cold as ice as he sneered, “You think it’s everyone you can offend? You have been using the name of my family to
cause trouble. Today, I won’t let you go. The tie between our Families is hereby
broken”
Everyone gasped in shock.
Even William hadn’t predicted this.
The face of the Elder turned pale and he cried aloud, “Don’t do this, Mr. Anderson. I might have used the name of your family for a few things but I’ve always shown you respect”
If the Mellon cuts ties with them, they would become a laughing stock in this City. –
Even the enemies who couldn’t touch them would now be audacious enough
to try.
“Respect? You should also show respect to other people” Mr. Anderson said. this and moved closer to Williams, “You must be William Miller”
The cold look on his face had. now transformed into a smile
It was Williams’s turn to frown as he demanded, “Who are you?”
“Who do you think you are to talk to Mr. Anderson that way?” The Elder of the Yorke family had quickly jumped to his feet, hoping to redeem himself and gain
favor.
Matteo quickly chirped in, “Do you know who Mr. Anderson is? Apologize to him or you won’t leave here alive”
He was stupefied when Mr. Anderson cut ties with the Yorke just now.
Without the backing of the Mellon, his association with the Yorke would be nothing and insignificant.
Now, if he could act like a loyalist of the Mellon, they could accept him and he wouldn’t need to be under the detached Yorke.
Mr. Anderson turned to his armed bodyguards and made a command, “If any of them speaks again, shoot them in the mouth”
“Yes Sir!”
The two men were terrified at Mr. Anderson’s newfound hostility toward them.
They didn’t dare to say anything again.
Mr. Anderson looked back at William and bowed slightly, “I apologize for whatever trouble my subordinates have caused you. I believe you’ll be just enough to not involve the Mellon”
William was still confused because he didn’t remember meeting this mant before.
Just then Almond Grey, the Manager of Exclusive Avenue Bank entered the room and bowed slightly before William.
“Master William, I invited Mr. Anderson here to help you with your troubles”
Grey happened to be in another VIP section of the Casino when he saw William enter the place with an injured member of the Black Serpent Gang.
Knowing the possible chaos the Young Master was capable of, he quickly contacted the head of the Anderson who happened to be a friend of his.
William’s brows furrowed slightly as he wondered if Grey had revealed his secret identity to this man.
He would deal with that later.
For now, “I’m just here to get a name, Mr. Anderson. There’s no reason for me to involve your family”
The Man’s face lit up and he quickly said, “What do you need? Mr. William. Let
me help you
William didn’t think much about this as long as he got what he wanted.
He turned to Matteo and said, “He has what I want?”
Matteo almost fell to the ground as his leg went jelly.
Two powerful men in this City are being respectful to a man who is supposed to be a useless and weak son–in–law.
Was he given the wrong information?
Now he was at the mercy of people he couldn’t afford to offend.
Almond Grey’s expression had become dark as he roared, “Speak before I take

your tongue!”
Mr. Anderson signaled his men not to shoot.
“Harry Snow” Matteo blurted out in fear, “Harry Snow paid me to get rid of you”
The name didn’t ring a bell in William’s head for a second until Matteo added, ” He said he wanted you out of someone’s life permanently. I think the name was Tracy Wilson”
William’s laughed bitterly.
