Chapter 227 All the Guts in the World
Just now, when Sean spoke those words, no one took them seriously! In fact, they thought they had heard a joke! But now! No one dared to treat his words as a joke, nor could they laugh, because he had already proven his strength and kept his promise!
“That’s really bold!”
“Daring to kill one of our people in front of Prince Gerard, and also speaking with such disrespect!”
“You’re asking for trouble!”
The young men and women on Gerard’s side were all silenced and terrified. However, the Complete Stage fighters wouldn’t buy it. No one had ever dared to threaten Prince Gerard to his face in the capital!
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Other than the three Complete Stage fighters guarding Gerard, seven others turned into shadows, leaped across the screen in the middle, and charged towards Sean!
They couldn’t tolerate anyone insulting the royal family!
“Stop!”
“How dare you attack his friend in front of Prince Carl!”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Of course, the ten Complete Stage fighters on Carl’s side wouldn’t just sit there. Almost at the same moment those people took a step forward, they yelled and moved and turned into shadows, blocking the way in front of Carl and Sean!
Bang!
The screen between the two banquet tables shattered instantly, turning into countless fragments that scattered all over the floor!
Seventeen Complete Stage fighters entered a standoff!
The Jade Restaurant was large, and the rooftop was very spacious, but it still couldn’t withstand a group battle involving so many Complete Stage fighters. If they fought, the entire rooftop would likely be blown away!
Gerard was a prince? So what? So was Carl too!
“Gerard, do you want to start a war here?” Carl stood with his hands behind his back, behind his ten Complete Stage fighters, and looked across at Gerard. In a deep voice, he said, “You must know Mr. Mason’s identity. If you get Grandfather into this, I’m afraid we’ll both be in trouble!”
If Sean were just an ordinary rich kid, that would be one thing! But he was General Wolf! Even after his retirement, everyone knew him! He had just left the military and was attacked by the royal family. If word got out, it would only damage the royal family’s reputation, and if it reached Padishah’s ears, no one knew what consequences it would bring!
Gerard ignored Carl’s warning and glared at Sean’s back, gritting his teeth and snorted, “Then you just enjoy yourself!”
“You don’t have much time left!”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
After saying that, he walked straight out the door!
Although Gerard was arrogant, he wasn’t reckless. He didn’t impulsively seek revenge for Gary Jefferson, disregarding everything. In fact, he wouldn’t care about a mere Gary Jefferson, and his death wasn’t worth taking such a big risk!
Moreover, it was now ten against ten, plus Sean, who could fight one against three alone. Even if they went to war, his failure was almost certain!
A wise man knows when to stop!
Gerard chose to stop now!
He left behind only a threatening remark and, under the protection of the three Complete Stage fighters, walked directly toward the rooftop exit.
“If Prince Gerard wants to kill me, that’s fine!” Sean remained standing there, unmoving, not stopping Gerard from leaving, not even glancing at Gerard. Instead, he spoke with an icy tone, “Prince Ashby can try to kill me too!”
“But I hope that you will act like men, instead of acting like a gang of thugs, going after my friends and family!”
“Such acts are despised by the world, let alone the royal family!”
“If there is a next time!”
“I’m afraid my chopsticks will no longer be aimed at some funny executioner like Gary Jefferson…”
His voice boomed like thunder! Since Sean had chosen to stand with Prince Carl and oppose Prince Ashby, he had naturally considered the consequences. Whether it was Ashby or Gerard, if they wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t back down!
Even if he truly died at their hands, it would be because he had lost! There was no problem with that!
However, he couldn’t bear them going after his friends or family! That was his bottom line! The grievances between men should be resolved in a manly manner!
When Gerard, who had already reached the rooftop exit, heard Sean’s words, his footsteps paused for a moment, a cold glint flashing between his brows. Without turning his head, he asked, “Are you threatening me?”
“Interpret it however you like!” Sean didn’t explain, and there was no need to. They had come this far, and any explanation would be useless.
“I really admired your courage!”
“But!”
“I’m also growing more and more annoyed by your arrogance and recklessness!”
“We’ll see about that!” Without saying more, Gerard left the rooftop.
What could he do? Not only did this guy have miraculous strength, but he also had a fiery temper. He didn’t leave any face for Gerard, not even giving him a way out gracefully. Gerard wanted to leave a harsh warning before leaving, but Sean wouldn’t let him!
Knowing he couldn’t start a war and that he was outmatched, Gerard naturally wouldn’t linger! Speaking more would only humiliate himself!
The other seven Complete Stage fighters and the young men and women also withdrew from the rooftop terrace one after another. Before leaving, they looked at Sean with eyes full of anger and resentment! This bastard dared to say Prince Ashby and Prince Gerard were just a gang of thugs…
Damn!
This bastard probably had all the guts in the world!
After Gerard left with his people, it took quite a while for those on Carl’s side to recover from their shock. Meanwhile, Sean seemed utterly unaffected, not taking Gerard’s threat to heart at all.
He turned to Carl and said, “Prince Carl, please collect the body of my friend and send him home.”
“And!”
“Protect his family!” Carl immediately nodded, “Mr. Mason, rest assured, I will arrange it right away.”
At that, he glanced at one of the Complete Stage elders beside him. The elder understood and nodded, turning to leave the rooftop.
Carl seized the opportunity to say, “Mr. Mason, you’re new to the capital and may not be familiar with the current situation.”
“Why don’t you…”
“After the banquet, come with me and stay at my place for the time being, just in case Prince Ashby would do anything for retaliation.”
He wanted Sean to move into his own mansion for two reasons: one was to protect Sean and the others from any retaliation by Ashby and Gerard, and the second was to take the opportunity to strengthen the relationship between himself and Sean.
“Alright!” Sean didn’t refuse, then said, “I want to know about the situation with the Jefferson family.”
The Jefferson family!
Retaliation?
That was something Sean wanted to do as well! Just taking Gary Jefferson’s life wasn’t enough to extinguish the fury in Sean’s heart. Sean had restrained himself just now and had not attacked Gerard!
However, the Jefferson family had to pay for Gary Jefferson’s evil deeds!
