The butler looked bewildered.

So sudden.

If they go south, should I also follow?

With such strong solar radiation, there’s a chance I might not come back. I really don’t want to go!!

Going out at this time feels like asking for trouble!

So he quickly advised:

“Young Master, the solar radiation outside is so intense. If you go out now, it might lead to problems. And going to Oil City and the Big Camphor Tree Base, the journey is long; I fear those in charge might also have objections…”

“Objections? If they have objections, let them come talk to me face-to-face! Damn it, they were dogs under my father’s command, and now they’re dogs under mine. Can a dog refuse its master? Heh, where in the world does logic like that exist? Go quickly!” Sima Xi said angrily.

Butler’s inner thoughts: Damn fool!

Fuck!

But outwardly, he still replied humbly: “I’ll go right away.”

He hurriedly left.

However, he didn’t immediately go to find the team that Old Master Sima had assigned under Sima Xi.

Instead, he secretly went to Sima Dong.

Sima Dong’s conference room.

“Young Master, Dali needs to see you urgently,” one subordinate whispered to Sima Dong at the table.

Sima Dong nodded slightly and said, “Let him in.”

Squeak—

The door opened.

Second Young Master’s butler, Dali, walked in and bowed to Sima Dong, saying, “Young Master.”

Seeing Dali enter, Sima Dong quickly stood up and helped him up.

“Why be so formal? We’re all family. Is there something going on?” Sima Dong said warmly.

Dali raised his head and said with some grievance, “The expedition team that Second Young Master built to head south to Oil City has encountered something unknown and hasn’t returned all this time. Second Young Master just went into a rage after looking in the mirror and told me to call all the team leaders handed over by the Old Master for a meeting. He might want to personally go south to deal with Oil City! Young Master, the journey to Oil City is distant, and now with solar radiation so intense outside, it’s not suitable to head south!”

Hearing this, Sima Dong’s gaze became much colder.

He had some grievances towards the Old Master in his heart.

Clearly, the second brother doesn’t possess any real skills, yet he was given some teams and equipment he coveted.

Those under the second brother, those equipment, should have been his.

Even if they aren’t now, they certainly will be in the future.

The situation in Oil City is unclear, and with solar radiation so strong outside, if those taken don’t return, it’s a loss for him!

His thoughts raced.

He suddenly noticed the slap mark on Dali’s face.

His signature caring expression appeared on his face as he asked with concern:

“Hmm, I see. Is the mark on your face from being hit by him? That guy is really inconsiderate, I apologize on his behalf.”

The butler looked at the caring expression on Sima Dong’s face and immediately showed a moved expression.

Both part of the Sima Family, yet the difference is so vast!

The butler quickly said, “It’s fine, Young Master. So what should I do now? The Second Young Master is asking me to quickly contact those leaders.”

Sima Dong’s eyes were deep, his brain working fast.

If the second brother dies, those under him naturally become his.

But if the second brother personally goes south and takes all those teams and equipment, then he gains nothing.

He placed his hand on his chin, gently rubbing it as he paced back and forth.

Thinking of how to maximize his benefit.

He thought frantically:

If the brother dies by his hand, it would severely damage his image.

But if he dies at the hands of Oil City, it’s unrelated to him.

But does Oil City have that kind of power?

If not…

Then there’s only one way: let the second brother take the fewest people possible.

But how to persuade him….

Make up a story, tell him that Oil City and Big Camphor Tree Base are weak, but filled with beautiful women?

Hmm…..

Difficult.
