Chapter 1332: Interception

Orlando then magnanimously said, “How about this? Just give us 10 billion usd. I don’t want the manor and the luxury cars, as long as it’s done quickly.”

He was indeed very anxious in his heart. It was daytime now, and if it dragged on until night, who knew who would die.

In the past two days, several core members of the Family had died consecutively, and they were all outstanding elites, which had already severely damaged the Field Family’s Origin Qi.

Feili smiled teasingly, “Orlando, you’re thinking too much. The condition I mentioned is for your Field Family to compensate Mr. Ye, not for Mr. Ye to compensate you.”

“What?”

Even though Orlando was calm and known as an old fox, he couldn’t help but bang the table and stand up at this moment.

“What a joke! It was my Grandson Barkley who died. Now you’re telling us to compensate him? What kind of logic is that?”

George said indifferently, “Orlando, you know the true situation of this matter better than I do. This was clearly a trap set by you and the Brown Family. At most, you can only be considered to have reaped what you sowed.

Now, Dr. Ye has been in the maximum-security prison for two days because of you. It is only right that you compensate him.”

“Impossible, this is absolutely impossible.”

Orlando immediately shook his head in denial. He had already discussed it with Creston before coming, and their biggest concession was not to pay compensation. He had never thought they would have to compensate the other party. If that were the case, how could their two Families gain a foothold in Apple City in the future?

“Alright, if you don’t agree, then we have nothing more to discuss.”

George’s expression was relaxed, without the slightest hint of urgency. After all, the other party was begging for negotiations, and no one in his own Family was dying anyway.

“In that case, let’s just wait for a fight to the death.”

The extremely enraged Orlando turned and left. He had originally held a glimmer of hope, thinking that the other party was also making an exorbitant demand, and that if he truly left, the other party would immediately lower their terms.

But even after he left the Lawrence Family’s castle, the other party showed no intention of calling him back.

Helpless, he could only get in the car and leave, returning once again to the Brown Family.

After hearing his narration, Creston’s expression also became extremely gloomy.

Now, both Families had already lost several core members. In such a situation, to compensate the other party again was something their inner pride could not accept.

“In that case, we’ll fight them to the death. At most, we’ll disperse our Family members (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) and hide for a period of time.”

After some discussion, Creston and Orlando decided on the final strategy: to relocate their Family members and temporarily flee Apple City until the other party compromised.

Although doing so was somewhat embarrassing and had many drawbacks, there was no other way; besides this, they had nowhere else to go.

Having decided on the strategy, the two Family heads personally presided over Family meetings to arrange the scattered escape.

As large Families, they had industries throughout M Country. As long as they left Apple City, finding a place to settle down was not a problem.

The main difficulty now was how to leave safely without being discovered by that assassin.

However, they were not too worried about this point. After all, the number of assassins was at most one or two, and with so many of them scattering and fleeing, the other party wouldn't be able to intercept everyone.

Moreover, it was still daytime, and the other party might be resting, completely unaware.

After a brief Family meeting, the core members of the Brown Family were divided into 10 groups, choosing different routes to leave.

The Field Family had fewer members, so they were divided into 8 groups, also taking different vehicles to disperse and leave.

In the western suburbs of Apple City, on a towering tree that blocked out the sun, a Young man and woman were sitting in the canopy, looking relaxed, their gazes fixed on the passing vehicles.

“It seems Dragon King truly predicts things like a god. These guys are really preparing to escape.”

The one speaking was a Young man in his twenties, with a wild grass stem in his mouth and a strange smile on his face. It was Lin Tianyu.

Opposite him, the girl had a slender and graceful figure, and a beautiful and charming face. It was none other than Huang Xiaomei.

“Trying to frame Dragon King and then escape? How can it be that easy?”

“Exactly. With us, the 36 Heavenly罡 Generals, guarding here, if these guys still manage to escape, we might as well buy a block of tofu and bash our heads in.”

Lin Tianyu’s expression suddenly darkened as he said this, his gaze fixed on a Mercedes-Benz commercial van approaching in the distance, “The target is here. Are you going to do it or am I?”

Huang Xiaomei rolled her eyes at him, “Killing people? You’re a grown man, and you still have the nerve to make a girl like me do it?”

“Alright then, I’ll do it.”

Lin Tianyu finished speaking, leaped down from the tree, and then a long saber appeared in his palm, emitting a blade light over ten feet long, which he fiercely slashed down towards the road below.

With a loud boom, dust billowed up, and the road, (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) which was over ten meters wide, was cut into two sections by a single saber strike, forming a trench several meters deep.

Inside the Mercedes-Benz commercial van, Neilson, a core third-generation descendant of the Brown Family, was driving at full speed, trying to leave this perilous place as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in front of him, and the originally wide and flat road had abruptly turned into a large trench.

The fellow quickly slammed his foot on the brake with all his might. Amidst a series of screeching brake sounds, the tires rubbed against the road, emitting a pungent burning smell. Finally, the Mercedes-Benz commercial van barely stopped at the edge of the large trench.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, everyone in the car was completely stunned; no one understood what had happened.

And just then, another dazzling blade light flashed, directly cutting through the commercial van’s windshield and severing Neilson’s head.

After the head fell, blood splattered, covering the other people in the car with blood.

“Ah!”

Seeing this horrifying scene, the people in the car screamed in terror.

And just then, a cold voice came, “Today’s mission is complete. Call that Old thing Creston and tell him that if anyone in your Family dares to try to escape Apple City again, they will be killed without mercy!”

The people in the car looked in the direction of the voice, but they didn’t see a single figure. From beginning to end, they didn’t see who had made the move.

After calming down for a moment, a Family member quickly pulled out his phone and dialed the Family head Creston’s number.

“Family… Family head, something… something big has happened…”

The person stammered.

As the saying goes, old foxes are cunning and old horses are slick. Creston, to be on the safe side, was a step slower than others, wanting to see if this path was truly passable.

This call immediately put him on alert, and he asked, “What is it? Speak quickly.”

“Young Master Neilson is dead, and the other party said that today’s mission is complete, but if anyone in the Family dares to try to escape Apple City again, they will be killed without mercy…”

Although the other party was stammering, he still clearly recounted what had happened.

Creston immediately gasped, not expecting the other party’s methods to be so mysterious and unpredictable, having already made preparations in advance. They couldn’t even escape if they wanted to.

Helpless, he could only pull out his phone and issue a retreat order to all Family members, then returned to the Brown Family’s manor.
