His voice was hoarse. It was Like gravel rubbing against the ground.
Benny remained calm. He sat opposite Carl, and someone immediately put tableware in front of him.
He glanced at it, but he didn’t move.
Carl took a few bites of meat, looked at Benny’s untouched plate, and asked nonchalantly, “Are you afraid I will poison you? Since you dare to request this meeting, why are you hesitant to have a meal with me?”
Benny looked at Carl expressionlessly. “I have business with you.”
“You are so impatient. No matter how urgent it is, a man has to finish his meal first, right?” Carl smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes.

Benny had no plans of exchanging pleasantries with Carl. So, he said, “I know about the grudge between you and Matthew. It so happens that we also have irreconcilable conflicts. So, I think we can cooperate to deal with him together.”
The expression on Carl’s face changed. He looked at Benny with scrutiny.
After a moment of silence, he asked, “What do you propose for this collaboration?”
“I have men. My former subordinates in Highwyn will still follow me.”
As he spoke, Benny glanced at the few bodyguards behind Carl.
Then. he looked at Carl again and said calmly, “I think this is what you lack the most right now.”
Carl fixed his eyes on Benny’s face. He had been running away during this period, and his manpower was indeed dwindling.
After being silent for a while, he suddenly broke into laughter. “It seems you have planned meticulously. If you provide the manpower, then what do you require from me?”
“Heavy weaponry,” Benny replied bluntly. “I know you have some in stock.”

Carl laughed again. But this time, it was full of mockery. “Young man, it’s good that you are ambitious. But don’t overestimate yourself. I can easily hire people. But weapons aren’t so easily acquired. Even if you have wealth, it isn’t that easy to acquire weapons. With a mere handful of men, you’re not in a position to bargain with me.”
Then, he turned to the bodyguards and ordered, “Show him out.”
But Benny didn’t waver. He said confidently, “But I’m a Clark.”
As soon as Benny said this, Carl immediately raised his hand to stop the bodyguards, who were about to rush to Benny.
He fixed his gaze on Benny as if trying to confirm the truth in his words.
Benny met Carl’s gaze unflinchingly. “After I get rid of Matthew, you can choose any of the current projects of the Clark family.”
“Are you really from the Clark family?” Carl’s eyes narrowed. His brows furrowed tightly as he fell into deep thought. “If I remember it correctly, your name is…”
“Benny Clifford.”
“Your last name is different. How can you prove you are a Clark?
