A Matrilocal Husband's Counterattack

Chapter 79: One Family, Two Tigers, Three Gods of Wealth

In the police car driving away from the Golden Clinic, Jack Yates was still in shock.

He stared intensely at the bullet in his hand, his eyes burning with inexplicable excitement.

It was too astonishing, too powerful, too extraordinary.

Jack Yates, who initially looked down on Ethan, couldn't find the words to describe his feelings. His disdain for Ethan had turned into admiration.

"Raymond, what do you think of that young doctor?"

Raymond Yates, whose spirits were noticeably lifted, leaned against the car door, holding a thermos filled with goji berry and red date tea. "Does he meet your standards?"

Raymond had gotten into the car a little earlier, so amidst the noisy renovation sounds, he hadn't heard the gunshot.

"I'm not as good as him," Jack snapped back to reality and responded straightforwardly, "You're not as good as him, and even our big brother isn't as good as him."

"His medical skills are first-class, his divination is first-class, and even his martial arts are first-class."

His eyes gleamed with admiration, "Given time, we won't be able to keep up with him."

Raymond's interest was piqued, "Oh? It's rare for you to praise someone. Aren't you overestimating him a bit?"

"Look at this."

Jack opened his palm, revealing the bullet, and then recounted the astonishing scene he had just witnessed.

Raymond's smile froze slightly, "You're saying he caught a bullet?"

"That's right, and at close range."

Jack nodded, "In all of ZH City, the only person who could do that is Tiger Dalton of the Martial Alliance."

"At least, I can't do it."

"A man like him... Forget about making him an enemy, even being just ordinary friends with him would be a huge loss for the Yates family."

"I can't even imagine his achievements ten years from now."

His expression turned playful, "Raymond, we must establish a good relationship with someone like him."

"To the Fortune Palace!"

Raymond decisively ordered, "To see the Old Master!"

While the Yates brothers headed to the Old Master's residence, Eugene Zacher and the others were gathered in the backyard, drinking tea and chatting.

"Brother, you've struck gold this time."

Looking at the Audi left behind by Raymond Yates, along with the license plate full of eights, Eugene gave a thumbs up, "From now on, you can walk sideways in ZH City."

Kevin Lin also laughed, "They say a divine doctor has connections everywhere. I didn't understand it before, but now I do."

Ethan responded with a calm smile, "It's just a bit of friendship, nothing that grand."

"Ethan, you really don't understand the background of the Yates family, do you?"

Ricky also came over, pouring another pot of tea, "That's the Yates brothers we're talking about."

"I've seen them on TV, but I really don't know about their background."

Ethan answered honestly. Despite living in ZH City for over a decade, his social circle was too low. Just a month ago, Alexander was someone he could only look up to.

He once believed that Alexander's starting point was the end of his own life's ambitions.

"ZH City has a population of twenty million, with countless wealthy and powerful people. We may seem impressive, but we can't compare to the real big shots."

Eugene lifted his tea cup with a smile, "The ones who truly hold power are One Family, Two Tigers, and Three Tycoons."

Kevin sighed, "Yeah, whether it's connections or wealth, we're too insignificant. It would take at least three generations of accumulation to have that kind of influence."

Ethan looked up, "One Family, Two Tigers, Three Tycoons? Who are they?"

Ricky grinned, "The big shots of ZH City. And some of them are even your old acquaintances."

"The Three Tycoons are Andrew Brooks, Ryan Barker, and Max Kane."

"Why are they called tycoons? Because they're loaded. Their businesses span the entire country, and each of them is worth billions."

"For example, Andrew Brooks isn't just an antique mogul; he also has several mines abroad, including jade and gold mines."

"Ryan Barker needs no introduction; he founded Blossom Bank, the first private bank in ZH City, known as the fifth major bank."

"Oceanic Bank may seem impressive, but compared to Blossom Bank, it's just like a credit union."

"As for Max Kane, everyone's familiar with him, the internet tycoon."

"They make a billion as easily as we drink water, so people jokingly call them the Three Tycoons of ZH City."

Ethan was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing, "Hearing this, I guess I won't need to hold back when charging consultation fees to Andrew Brooks or the Barker family."

Everyone laughed heartily, filling the clinic with joy and laughter.

"Who are the Two Tigers?"

Ethan curiously asked, "Tiger Dalton?"

Eugene nodded, "That's right. One is Tiger Dalton, the chairman of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and the underground king of ZH City, maintaining the city's underworld order."

"The other is Victor Blacke."

Daniel Stewart joined in, "He's the president of the Martial Alliance in ZH City, a martial arts consultant at the police academy, and a master of the Mystical Realm with countless disciples."

"Like Tiger Dalton, he keeps a low profile but stands like a stabilizing force, firmly suppressing dangerous elements from all directions."

Ethan's eyes gleamed with curiosity. A master of the Mystical Realm—he'd never heard of that before. If given the chance, he would love to meet him and find out his own level.

"One Family refers to the Yates family, the House of Yates."

Kevin sat upright and explained, "Nine Scholars and Three Mayors—that's the foundation of the Yates family."

"Nine Scholars refers to the nine top scorers in the ZH City college entrance exams from the Yates family in the past fifty years."

"Three Mayors means Raymond's grandfather, father, and elder brother all served as mayors of ZH City."

"Although the two elders are retired, Raymond's father, Martin Fletcher, is still an influential figure in ZH City's political scene."

"Raymond's elder brother, Evan Mitchell, is in his prime and was transferred from ZH City to Dragon City two years ago to take on greater responsibilities."

He added with a laugh, "So gaining the friendship of the Yates brothers means you can indeed walk sideways in ZH City."

"I see."

Ethan nodded in realization, then sighed, "Their foundation is truly impressive."

The gap between him and the Yates family wasn't just one social class—it was a world apart.
