Chapter 1292 Forcing Them to Stand in Line

The surrounding helmsmen were staring closely at the scene outside the window, for fear of missing something.
"Hey, that man is Jonah Fuller, helmsman of the Fullers!" one of the helmsmen exclaimed in surprise while pointing at the car in front of him.
Everyone looked over and saw Jonah Fuller stepping out of one of the cars.
But immediately afterward, Jonah walked respectfully to another car and welcomed an elderly man in his sixties.
"That… that's Rayson Williams, helmsman of the Williams!" The eagle-eyed Norman quickly recognized the elderly man at a glance and was astonished.
All of a sudden, everyone exclaimed in shock, "It really is Mr. Williams! He's actually here too. Could the Williams have decided to attack the Parkers?"
"Did the Parkers offend the Williams?"
Norman smirked, almost unable to restrain his joy. Hahaha, God is on my side!
He had already become a loner after the six other families chose to submit to the Parkers while he was the only one who refused to. But the Holmes alone wouldn't be a match for the Parkers, so Norman had been at a complete loss for what to do.
He never expected the Williams to show up at this moment and likely with the purpose of attacking the Parkers. It was simply wonderful!
The Williams were truly one of the eight top families of DC, and their status was unquestionable. Norman was certain that the Parkers wouldn't be able to do anything once the Williams took action!
He thought that their pretense would be broken in the face of the Williams!
One of the helmsmen smiled awkwardly and said to Norman, "Uh, it seems you truly have foresight, Mr. Holmes! We really shouldn't have surrendered to the Parkers. I made a mistake just now. I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes!"
The other helmsmen hurriedly said, "Yeah, Mr. Holmes, you are indeed wise! We should deal with the Parkers together. We were blinded by their act and said some things we shouldn't have. Please don't mind us!"
"Yes, our seven families formed an alliance for the sake of our common benefit. How can we dissolve it easily? We must continue developing our alliance in the future. The Parkers are nothing compared to our alliance!"
…
These helmsmen were just like chameleons. Previously, they were all determined to leave the alliance and pledge allegiance to the Parkers. Now that they saw the Parkers in trouble, they immediately changed their attitudes and flattered Norman again. They really changed incredibly quickly.
Norman was extremely disdainful of these fence-sitting chameleons, but he didn't hold it against them.
As long as they knew their mistakes and obeyed him from now on so that he could firmly take control of the alliance and strengthen it continuously, it was enough.
The sudden intrusion of the cars caused chaos to break out in the Parker residence. Dozens of people from the Parkers rushed over to maintain order, but the 200-odd people Rayson brought soon stopped them.
Only then did Norman hurry out with the other helmsmen. They went up to Rayson and greeted him deferentially. "Welcome, Mr. Williams!"
Rayson glanced at Norman with contempt and didn't even make eye contact with him. "Norman Holmes, I heard that you people came here to discuss cooperating with the Parkers and that you're even planning to deal with the eight top families of DC."
Norman was taken aback and frantically explained, "No, no, no, how could we possibly dare?! To be honest, we were deceived by the despicable Parkers into coming here. After we arrived, they held us hostage, and who knows what would have happened to us if you hadn't arrived, Mr. Williams!"
Of course, he couldn't reveal the original intention of the alliance, which was to resist the oppression of the eight top families in addition to dealing with the Parkers.
Rayson sneered. It was unclear if he believed Norman's words, but he suddenly said, "I don't care what you're thinking. Now, I want all of you to pledge allegiance to the Williams and give us half of your annual revenue every year!
"Otherwise, I'll take it that you're in cahoots with the Parkers, and none of you will live past tonight!"
"What?!"
Norman and the other six helmsmen were all shocked and wished they could die right on the spot after processing what William meant.
How unlucky of them!
First, the Parkers threatened them into handing over half of their businesses and properties or be annihilated.
Now, they regarded the Williams as their savior and rushed over to suck up Rayson in hopes that the Williams would save them. But just like the Parkers, Rayson demanded that they hand over half of their annual revenue each year or vanish from DC.
How… how were they supposed to choose?
Was this ending what their seven families were destined to face today?

Jonah appreciated the looks of dismay on the helmsmen's faces and said with a grin, "You people better make up your mind soon! It'll be too late to decide after the Williams destroy the Parkers!
"I suggest you stop hesitating. It's your blessing that you've gotten the chance to pledge allegiance to the Williams. It's a blessing that other families can't even ask for. Don't be ignorant!"
Some of the helmsmen thought indignantly, You're just sugar-coating it! Blessing? My foot. Who wants such a blessing?
Before the helmsmen finished criticizing, Jonah added, "To tell you the truth, the Fullers have already pledged allegiance to the Williams, and we are officially affiliated with them. If you do the same, we can be brothers."
What Jonah said shocked the seven displeased helmsmen.
The Fullers and the Holmes had always been at odds with each other and had had countless conflicts. But this was because their families were evenly matched. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to have maintained such a balance.
The Fullers were far stronger than the six other families.
But even the Fullers had submitted to the Williams, so why should they continue struggling?
Surrendering to the Parkers would require them to hand over half of their businesses and properties.
Likewise, pledging allegiance to the Williams would require them to hand over half of their annual revenue.
In short, the losses they had to suffer were about the same regardless of which choice they made. As long as they didn't want to be wiped out, they would have to accept this outcome.

Parkers!
They were caught in a dilemma about which family to pledge allegiance to, the Williams or the Once they made the wrong choice, they would definitely face crazy retaliation from the other family!
All of a sudden, the helmsmen were distraught, wishing they could just die!
At this moment, Damon's voice faintly came from the side. "Mr. Williams, you brought so many people to my place and crushed all the flowers and plants in my garden. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
