Many people were shocked.
Back then, the matter ended with the Kingstons succumbing. Lance felt that it was extremely embarrassing, so he had immediately ordered everyone to keep their lips sealed about what had happened that day or face death.
Thus, apart from a very small number of local families in San Francisco, who had secretly found some clues after snooping around, the others weren't aware of this matter at all.
It was the first time that the big shots of the other cities heard about this matter.
In their opinion, the Kingstons were a top family in San Francisco, and they were definitely among the top three in California in terms of comprehensive strength. Besides, the Hales were just a top-tier family in Orange County and far inferior to the Kingstons.
Is Bruce Hale out of his mind? How dare he bring people with him to create trouble at the Kingstons'?
