Initially, the group of men in the room might not have caught the name "Benjamin" clearly. But when Benjamin said it loudly, a wave of fear swept over them.
The Hale family was a powerful family with far-reaching connections in both business and the military. They all knew Benjamin's reputation well. He was definitely not someone they could afford to cross.
"Take them down!" Samuel shouted, noticing his friends frozen in terror. "I'm also part of the Hale family, and I'm his uncle!"
Confusion filled the room. They realized something. Samuel was indeed Benjamin's uncle. It all made sense now that Samuel seemed to have endless wealth. And the way Jasper had just come over with drinks further proved it. Suddenly, they felt a surge of bravery; perhaps they could take on Benjamin after all!
