Chapter: 429
“You’re trying to compete in numbers? Alright, then. Let’s see who has more men!” The large man waved his arm, and synchronized footsteps were heard immediately.
Soon, armed men charged into the place from all directions, surrounding everyone instantly.
The guards were fully geared up and donned black masks. Their gazes were sharp, and they gave off at murderous aura that made people turn their heads away instinctively from fear.
The Laney family guards were nothing compared to these men.
No words or threats were exchanged, but clangs rang out as the Laney family’s guards, who were terrified by the new arrivals, threw their weapons down and stood aside.
Matt froze at the sight of the geared men, his haughtiness vanishing rapidly, and terror took its place.
What happened? Where did all those men come from?
“Aren’t we competing by numbers? Who has more men now?” The bulky man waved again, and the men drew their swords in unison, overwhelming everyone with their presence.
Matt felt the strength leave his legs, and he collapsed to the ground.
“Sir Alfred, please go easy on us!” Phineas crawled toward Alfred and begged.
“My son has lost his mind and doesn’t know what he’s doing. Please spare his life!”
“Then, you’ll have to die in his stead.” Alfred drew a sword from the burly man’s back and threw it to the floor.
Calmly, he said.
“Only one of you can live. Make your decision.”
In the morning, at the airport. Edwin and Tina waited in front of a Rolls–Royce Phantom.
“Dad, we’ve already been waiting for two hours. Why isn’t Joshua here yet?” Tina glanced around, looking anxious.
“It’s normal for flights to be delayed. Let’s wait it out a little longer. Edwin looked calm. Last night, he’d suddenly received a call from Joshua, saying he’d completed his refinement, which meant he was now the Hummer family’s trump card.
As they spoke, a young couple exited the airport. The man was handsome and dignified, giving off an air reminiscent of a sharp blade, making one unable to look him in the eye. The woman beside him was dressed in red and equally outstanding. She was beautiful, elegant, and looked powerful.
“Dad, he’s here!” Tina’s eyes lit up with excitement. She’d been eagerly anticipating his return.
“Josh, you’re finally back!” Edwin approached him with a bright smile.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Dad.” Joshua smiled and gestured to the woman beside him.
“Allow me to introduce you to Jade Grant, my fiancée.”
“Jade Grant?” Edwin looked taken aback before asking tentatively.
“Is she the third daughter of the Grant family?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Joshua smiled.
