"Just that?" Hugo raises a brow. He had thought Brooks will ask for something outrageous. But he only asked for Brianna.Is that even a request?! All he cares about is that Lucien pays for killing his son. Brianna was just used to get him over here. He has no interest in her at all! Hah, such a request is nothing to him!"Yes, Mr. Douglas. She's very important to me.""That will be no issue at all! You can have her once Lucien's head is off his neck. But there's a problem though!""What problem, Mr. Douglas?" He furrows his brows."My boy is yet to inform me if the operation went successful, or not. I am promising you blindly, so I hope you won't hold it against me!""Is that the problem?" Brooks laughs. "Mr. Douglas, that's not a problem at all! Didn't I say the moment I walked in here that the mission was successful? Did you think I was joking?"Well, I was not! See, the punk, Lucien, called me himself to ask if I was the one who kidnapped Brianna. "He couldn't have asked me that
Meanwhile, In a gigantic sitting room in a Mansion downtown East Highland Park, Ryan is sitting on a couch with a stick of cigarette in his hand and a smug expression on his face.Just now, his uncle Hugo called him to ask him where he and the kidnappers were and he told him they were still on their way home when in fact, they have arrived and are in his hidden Mansion! He clearly lied!On the couch opposite Ryan is Brianna. She has a glass of wine in her hand and there's a plate of rice and chicken on the classy glass table in front of her. She doesn't look like she was kidnapped at all! Instead, she looks like someone who has been brought on a date!Brianna is confused about this! Her belly is heavy! Since they arrived in this unknown Mansion thirty minutes ago, the young man before her who she has just found out to be Ryan has been bombarding her with food and drinks. It's more like he wants her belly to burst. And he has never for once made any advance to hit or assault her! Not
The breaths of Hugo and the Douglases catch in their throats and shivers run down their spines, their mouths wide open in horror.How did he appear? How did he? They can't believe their eyes. No, their eyes must be deceiving them. They must be! There is no how doing that is possible! No mortal man can be that fast! None!They look to the entrance and to their terror, the foot is no longer there. But they don't want to believe the foot belongs to the figure standing in the middle of the courtroom right now. They don't think it's possible for him to move at that speed!Without wasting any more time, they hurriedly look back at the foot of the figure in the middle of the courtroom and their eyes widen when it turns out it is his, their eyes threatening to pop out of their sockets! How? He was just at the entrance! How did he do that?"Punk, who are you and how dare you address me by my first name?! Have you no respect for your elders? How did you even get inside here? Who let you in?!"
"You should keep your mouth shut, young man, or I'll shut it for you! You can irrational, I don't care! And I still don't care about any other thing! He killed my son! That covers every other thing and he must pay! Besides, I'm talking to him alone! Every other person should shut up!" Hugo snarls. He appears to be adamant and doesn't care about anything else except getting revenge for his son."Should I shut up as well, old man?" Jack Ville arrogantly walks in at this moment with his men, his head held high as he exudes a ruthless aura. One almost on par with that of Hugo. He gets to Lucien and bows. "Mr. Wood," he respectfully acknowledges.Lucien nods at him, his expression extremely sour. He is on the verge of exploding.Seeing this, Jack Ville's expression darkens. He furiously turns to Hugo, his eyes bloodshot."I-""Save it! Didn't you ask me a question? My answer is yes, shut the fuck up!" Hugo doesn't let him say a word and barks."Hah! You think you are ruthless?" Jack chuckl
"Perhaps, my brother as a Bryson doesn't scare you enough! Old fart, can you repeat what you just said to my face? I'll love to see if you can still have the mouth to do so again!" At this very moment, an extremely vile voice suddenly says and the unexpected happens! In the very eyes of everyone, Tyler Bryson makes his way into the room with more than one hundred powerhouses!"Tyler?" Lucien, Declan, and the rest are shocked. Especially, Lucien.He had fallen out with Tyler not long ago and taken his Galaxy from him. Not long after that, Tyler had sent an assassin after him. The two of them can be said to be sworn enemies. So one can imagine the shock he feels seeing Tyler right there, standing up for him!He is wondering if something happened to his brain because he doesn't understand! Do enemies stand up for each other now? And how did he even find out they came here?"Ah, old man, I didn't expect to see you here at all! What are you doing here?!" Declan is the first to recover and a
"Good! Very good! Mr. Bryson, you've really impressed me this time!" Jack, the King of Underground Boxing is much more ecstatic than Lucien, to who Tyler is kneeling and bowing to.For a moment back there, he had thought Tyler was going to walk away as his safety was already guaranteed. Any person would. But to his awe, Tyler didn't do that! Instead, he pledged allegiance to Lucien! He didn't care that his safety was already guaranteed. No, he chose to follow Lucien! He chose to forever serve him! Yes, he chose to forever be his servant and ever be loyal to him!This means Mr. Wood is much more powerful right now than he was a few minutes ago! Gosh, he is so thankful to his maker that he chose to follow Lucien!He can't begin to imagine how much of a dead meat he would have been if he had chosen to keep going against such a terrifying young man like Lucien! Fortunately, he made the right decision early enough! He is so excited!Jack Ville is feeling the same way as well. At this mome
They don't understand this at all! Who does he think he is? Well, thinking about it in another way, they break out in wide smiles.If Lucien had chosen to accept Tyler, he would have become far more powerful than they had estimated and that wouldn't have been a good thing for them. But now that he was foolish enough to reject Tyler, they can still deal with him as they please! Hahaha, that is a good thing!As if Mr. Ethan can read the meaning to the smiles on the Douglases' faces, his face stretches into a deep frown and he walks up to Lucien, berating him softly, "Mr. Wood, why did you have to do this in the presence of the Douglases? We are trying to get Ms. Brianna for Christ's sake! "Don't you know the more trump cards you have, the more forced to the end of the wall they will be to release her? See, the Douglases already investigated you and knew we would all be joining you today, so must have been prepared to take on all of us, but they didn't know my brother Tyler would come
It's not that Lucien no longer cares about Brianna because he's agreed to let Declan have his way, but he's reached the end of his patience. He knows that because Hugo has all these men on his side and they are on his turf, he will believe that nothing can possibly happen to him, and that unless something does happen to him, his mindset will not change and they will just keep talking and talking with no results.Sending off Declan to rake everywhere is just to wet the grounds so that Hugo will know they are not afraid of him at all!Just as Lucien has in mind and as if a time bomb has just been ticked off, Declan moves, instantly darting toward Hugo, his aura coming out eerie and chilling.At the sight of this, Hugo's powerhouses from every dark angle immediately storm out and stand in front of Declan, blocking him from going any further!"Hmph! In your dreams to think you can stop me!" Declan snorts and slams right into the two powerhouses directly blocking him.BOOM!As his body cra
