"M-Mr. Skye?" Bruce, the head of the Yarrow family, perked up.
Could Theo be calling him to arrange for the Skye family's funeral? Given the family's massacre, their funeral would be an enormous event. This would be a huge order! "How many hearses and coffins can your family spare right now?"
"One moment, let me check!" Bruce quickly opened his laptop and checked the company's system for vehicle availability and funeral supplies stock.
"Mr. Skye, we currently have 150 hearses available and around 500 coffins in stock."
"Prepare 120 hearses, each with a coffin," Theo said calmly,
"Understood, sir. Do you need a burial site as well?"
"Nope." Theo laughed coldly.
The Kleins did not deserve a proper burial. Even providing coffins for them was already an act of mercy. The Skye family had over a hundred members, yet even their bodies were left behind in the end.
"Should we deliver them to Skye Residence?" Bruce asked cautiously.

"No," Theo said and then paused, "Deliver them to the Kleins."
"Huh?" Bruce's hand shook, and he nearly dropped his phone. Today was a joyous occasion for the Klein family, yet Theo was asking him to deliver coffins? This was an outright provocation. Moreover, his son was attending the banquet. If he sent coffins over, his son might not return.
"You can't do it?" Theo asked, his voice chilling.
Bruce took a deep breath and replied, "Mr. Skye, I can't take this job."
Theo was taken aback for a moment but then coldly replied, "Bruce, do you not believe that I can bankrupt your family with just one word?"
Bruce could sense Theo's attempt to overpower him but recalled the Skye family no longer existed and
chuckled "Sir, I only address you as Mr. Skye out of respect. Who do you think you are now? Do you still think you're the high and mighty young sir of the Skye family? Wake up, the Skye family is no more!"
He was about to hang up the phone when Theo started coldly, "Let me reintroduce myself. I also go by another name, Theodore Schmidt."
Bruce froze at first but then pretended not to understand what Theo had said. "Theodore Schmidt? I've never heard of you."
Theo clenched his fist. "Of the Schmidt family in Antaria."
Bruce's entire body trembled, his voice shaky. "Y-You're from the Antaria Schmidt family?"
"If you think I'm joking, then don't blame me when I take action against the Yarrow family," Theo said coldly.
His thoughts were simple. If Bruce did not comply, he would use the Schmidt family's power to forcibly acquire the Yarrow family's business.
Bruce trembled and replied, "Mr. Skye, I'll just transfer the company to you!"
The Schmidt family was not people he could afford to offend, and neither was the Klein family. Offending both sides was definitely not an option, so he decided to transfer the company to Theo.

"Fine," Theo agreed. He then contacted the secretary of Empire Capital to handle the transfer. Within half an hour, a convoy of hearses was assembled. A grand procession of 150 hearses, each carrying a coffin, began its journey toward the suburbs.
This unprecedented spectacle quickly became a trending topic.
[Shocking: Today's the Kleins' banquet, and 150 hearses are now en route toward the venue. Is it a twist of human nature or a collapse of morality?] [Over 100 hearses were spotted heading toward the Klein family's castle in the suburbs. Is the Yarrow family declaring war on the Klein family?]
