Chapter 1333 Another Dirty Trick

On the road north of Apple City, a red Ferrari sports car sped forward like a flash of lightning.

Eric of the Field Family was in the driver's seat; he often went out racing before, and his driving skills were indeed excellent.

After receiving the order to escape this time, he immediately drove away with his wife, becoming the first to flee Apple City with his speed.

"Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief."

Seeing that he had already left the city, he immediately slowed down the car, his face filled with ease and contentment; the pressure of someone dying in the Field Family every day for the past few days had been too much for him to bear.

If he continued to endure, he didn't know if it would be him who died tonight.

"Yes, I've been scared to death these past few days."

It was his wife, Annie, speaking, currently sitting in the passenger seat.

Although he was not a direct descendant of the Field Family, watching others being assassinated with his own eyes was a very unpleasant experience.

"It's alright, everything is over. What a mysterious assassin, now that we've escaped Apple City, he'll never find our tracks again. From now on, we're finally free, finally safe, ha ha ha…"

Eric laughed triumphantly, but just then, a cold voice came from behind.

"Is that so? Are you really safe?"

Hearing this voice, Eric was instantly scared out of his wits, slamming on the brakes and stopping.

Turning his head, he saw a man wearing a clown mask sitting in the back seat at some unknown point, looking at him with a playful gaze.

"You… you… you…"

Eric was too nervous to speak; this was truly terrifying. When did the other party get into his car?

"I am the 'what a' you spoke of, here to send you on your way."

Situ Fei smiled slightly, then a faint light flashed in his hand, and a black short blade instantly slit Eric's throat.

"Ah…"

Seeing this scene, the terrified Annie let out a piercing scream.

Situ Fei frowned, "Don't scream so unpleasantly, okay? Otherwise, I might kill you too."

"Wuwu…"

Annie didn't think the other party was joking with her, so she quickly covered her mouth.

"That's right," Situ Fei said, "Call Orlando and tell him my mission for today is complete, but if anyone else tries to escape Apple City, they will be killed without mercy!"

After speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared from the car.

Only then did Annie release her hand from her mouth, looking at Eric next to her with trepidation; he had completely stopped breathing.

Remembering the other party's warning, she quickly pulled out her phone and nervously dialed Orlando's number.

"What? You saw that mysterious assassin?"

"I saw him, but he was wearing a mask, so I couldn't tell who he was," Annie stammered, "Eric is dead now. That person said if anyone dares to escape Apple City again, they will be killed without mercy."

"I understand."

Orlando hung up the phone and parked the car by the roadside. His expression had become incredibly solemn at this moment; things were much more complicated than he had anticipated. The other party had already foreseen his attempt to escape.

Should he retreat? Even if the other party was powerful, he was only one person. Could he block so many escape routes?

Just as he was hesitating whether to take the risk and try, phone calls started coming in one after another, all from members of their Family.

In just this short while, three or four more people had died under the assassin's blades.

"Damn it, he's a devil."

At this moment, Orlando had completely abandoned any hope of luck. It seemed the other party was not just an assassin, but possessed a large number of masters; otherwise, it would be impossible to intercept so many Family members attempting to escape.

In his helplessness, he could only issue the order to retreat, bringing his clansmen back to the Field Family.

These people went in a circle and returned to their starting point, the only difference being that five more core members of the Family had died.

Orlando sighed and went to the Brown Family again, sitting with Creston to discuss countermeasures.

"Damn it, I really didn't expect that Chinese kid to arrange things so tightly. We can't even escape if we want to."

Orlando first cursed, then asked, "Patriarch, what should we do now?"

The other party was killing one core member every day, and he had no power to resist at all. This matter weighed heavily on his heart like a huge mountain.

Creston's expression was grim. He was regretting it now; the opponent's terrifying nature far exceeded his imagination.

He had previously thought his investigation had thoroughly understood the opponent, but now it seemed completely wrong. At the very least, the opponent possessing so many masters was beyond his expectation.

But now that things had progressed to this point, regret was useless; he had to find a way to solve the current predicament.

"Orlando, you usually…

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

don't you have many ideas? What do you think we should do?"

"Patriarch, I believe there are only two choices now.

First, bow down and surrender, negotiate according to Ye Bufan's demands, and pray that the other party can spare our two Families."

"And the second?"

As the proud Patriarch of the Brown Family, if there were any other options, Creston would not choose this one, as it was simply too humiliating.

"The second is for us to take another risky move."

A cunning glint flashed across Orlando's chubby face, "The reason that kid dares to act so recklessly against our two Families now is because he thinks we can't do anything to him. As long as we make him afraid, he naturally won't dare to assassinate our clansmen anymore."

Creston frowned. In fact, he was indeed at his wit's end with Ye Bufan right now.

"Then how do you suggest we make the other party afraid?"

Orlando said, "I've looked into it. That kid is a romantic, and although he has many women, he values each one more than his own life.

As long as we send people to capture Lu Banxia, with a hostage in hand, we'll immediately have bargaining chips for negotiation."

Creston pondered for a moment and said, "It's a good plan, but will the other party be prepared for it?"

"It doesn't matter if they're prepared. We can gather the masters from both Families and launch a surprise attack. Even if the other party is prepared, they won't be able to withstand the combined strength of our two Families.

As long as we get Lu Banxia in our hands, we can immediately turn the tables and no longer be as passive as we are now."

Creston thought about it, and indeed, that was the logic.

Now they had gathered all their masters within the Family, but the other party's movements were elusive, and they couldn't find anyone, rendering them useless. In this situation, it was better to send them out to do something directly.

But this was also a double-edged sword. If successful, they would immediately have bargaining chips against Ye Bufan, but if they failed, it would likely enrage the other party.

Orlando said, "Patriarch, make a decision quickly. We can't drag this out any longer."

Although he was known as an old fox, the Field Family was ultimately only a subordinate of the Brown Family, so the decision still had to be made by Creston.

Creston hesitated for a long time, finally gritting his teeth: "Fortune favors the bold; we'll try one more time!"

As the Patriarch of one of Apple City's four great Families, he ultimately was unwilling to lower his proud head.
