Chapter 2755
Cooper was not very happy about the idea.
Sunny smiled. “Who told you that we should trade Noel’s leg with Nick’s? Rather than letting Python break Noel’s
leg, why not let Nick do it himself?”
Cooper was taken aback. “Nick will do it himself?”
Sunny leaned forward and suggested earnestly, “Travis’ leg is broken, but he’s safe Not to mention that he will still
be able to get out of bed and walk after half a year of recuperation. I heard that Python is a cruel man, but he only
captured Noel to force the Wickams into compromising. So, what’s in it for them if they delay their plan in making a
move on Noel?”
Cooper was stunned. “Are you saying that Python has other plans?”
Sunny drank his tea from the teacup. “Python is the leader of a local mafia in Madripur. All the businesses that he’s
involved in are illegal and of unknown origin. Moreover, their goods usually travel by sea and will have to pass
through the Wickams’ territory. Besides, Travis Brown isn’t in any danger.
“However, his son getting beaten up out there is equivalent to the Wickams slapping him in the face, so he’s only

giving the Wickams a hard time because he feels that he’s been embarrassed.
“The Wickams earn money through the waterway too, so if the two families were to fall out with each other, both
families would suffer a huge loss in terms of business interests.
“Python’s captured Arthur’s son and is forcing the Wickams to explain themselves because he’s certain that Arthur
will never let his son suffer. But of course, if Arthur refuses to compromise, Noel will still have to suffer a little”
Cooper suddenly understood something.
‘This indeed makes sense.
‘Given Python’s temperament, if his son has been beaten to the extent that he has to be hospitalized, Noel’s leg
should’ve been broken long ago. However, Python has only kidnapped Noel and asked the Wickams to explain
themselves, or else Noel will suffer hell.
“He’s indeed a ruthless man that excels in torturing others, so Noel will have to suffer a lot even if he doesn’t have
to die at his hands.
“Python has obtained the upper hand this time and is planning to use this incident to his advantage to make things
difficult for the Wickams. This won’t only avenge his son but also get him more bargaining chips to talk the Wickams
into giving him more benefits that he needs and wants.
‘As a result of that, the Wickams will fall behind in this mutual relationship, and Python will make a fortune out of

this. This has always been Python’s most significant trait. He’s the type of person that will never let go of his prey
once he gets his fangs into the flesh.
‘Therefore, everyone in the circle knows it’s impossible to get rid of him as soon as he gets his eyes on
someone.
‘And Arthur isn’t a fool either. He’s afraid that he will get overwhelmed in the future if he hands anything that
Python asks for to him now That’s why he’s been stalling him to buy time and wanted Nick and me to step forward.
‘Nick is the eldest son of the Wickams and my biological nephew, so he knows that once he gets Nick to make a
move, I’ll definitely not stand aside and watch as Nick makes a deal with the devil. As soon as I get involved in this
matter, Python will turn to me and start to wrap himself around me, then swallow me
whole in the end.”
Cooper snorted. “Arthur wants to be the third party that will benefit the most out of this situation while Python and I
are at each other’s neck. What a cunning piece of sh*t. Master Southern, so what do you mean by letting Nick do
it?”
Sunny gave off a pregnant smirk. “Nick is the eldest son of the Wickams, so he’ll be the one to teach Noe! a lesson.

Firstly, this will glorify the Wickams, and secondly, Python will feel that the Dragoneers have received the respect
that they deserve. After knowing that Arthur doesn’t have the guts to do what’s right. and Nick is actually the ballsy
one out of the father-and-son duo, who do you think Python will trust more?
Nick or Arthur?”
Cooper’s expression lit up. “So that’s how it is. By doing this, we’ll be able to shut the mouths of those from the
Wickams. After all, Noel surviving this incident is already a plus for them.
“After that, apart from Noel’s survival, this will also show them that Nick is able to salvage Python from total
embarrassment and relieve his wrath. And if even Python approves of Nick, then the Wickams will be proven wrong
again by their choice of heir. That’s a total smack in the face.”
Sunny chuckled and clinked glasses with him. “That’s what I want to see, a smack in their face. We must make
Arthur take a good look at how much longer the Wickams can go on without Nick’s leadership.”
With less than one day left, Python sent someone to the Wickams to convey his message.
Martha wandered up and down anxiously. “We don’t even know if Noel is dead or alive now. Is there really. nothing
we can do?”
Arthur held onto his cup of tea but had not taken a sip from it. He had not been able to eat or drink for several
days, and his temper was not at its peak either. “What’s the use of walking around anxiously? Will that help to get
Noel released?”
