In the evening, Sergei brought Maxim to Yevgeny's farm, as he had been particularly busy recently.
The conflicts in the major mining areas were getting more and more severe, with Poison Bee, once a close brother of Yevgeny, being the instigator behind them.
Even though Yevgeny had broken ties with Poison Bee, the majority of people would place the blame on Yevgeny, after all, he was now seen as the easy target among the big shots.
The power of Poison Bee's son, Langya, was too strong; taking them on would be akin to seeking death. It was simply better to bully Yevgeny instead.
Yevgeny was not afraid of challenges from the younger generation, spending his days seeking the Duke who, if not available, would handle his own business.
Though his own fangs were broken, the necessary foundation was there; not many would dare to challenge Yevgeny lightly.
