Chapter 231 Want Revenge? I’m Here
A bet!
Ashby had previously said that if Sean chose him, he wouldn’t die, and he could guarantee Sean’s safety. Otherwise, Sean would only live for half a month at most!
And the wedding date for Julia and Fergus Archer was set for half a month later!
Clearly!
Ashby wanted to use Fergus Archer’s hand to eliminate Sean!
After all…
The battle at Kats River proved that Sean was not just all talk. Even when facing Complete Stage fighters, he had the ability to fight against three of them single-handedly. Thus, ordinary Complete Stage fighters posed no threat to him!
Now, Fergus Archer was also a Complete Stage fighter who could fight multiple opponents!
In terms of status, Lord Fergus was not inferior to General Wolf!
“Don’t worry.”
Roscoe stood up as well, walking side by side with Ashby, and smiled, “It’s just a bet. You know me, I always keep my promises.”
“But…”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
As he spoke, Roscoe suddenly changed the subject, curiously asking, “Are you so sure that Fergus Archer will come after Sean when he arrives in the capital?”
“Hehe!”
“Could it be that Fergus Archer has already submitted to you and secretly follows your orders?”
Roscoe had noticed the secret collusion between Ashby and Fergus Archer a long time ago, but he didn’t have any solid evidence. Now that they mentioned Fergus Archer, he couldn’t help but joke about it.
“Nonsense!”
Ashby’s voice turned cold, snorting, “Roscoe, be careful with your words. You can’t just say things you shouldn’t!”
“As you just said!”
“You and Sean are just friends, and the same goes for me and Fergus Archer. We share common interests and have had a few conversations.”
“What submission?”
“Be it Lord Fergus or General Wolf, they are both my father’s trusted generals. What you just said is an act of betrayal!”
How righteous he sounded!
Roscoe hurriedly said, “It seems I’ve overthought it. Please don’t take offense.”
“No problem!”
Ashby said solemnly, “If I remember correctly, before my father decreed last year to betroth Julia to Fergus Archer, you and Adam had tried to persuade him to let Julia marry Sean!”
“But your suggestion was rejected by my father!”
“Right?”
Shirine had four famous generals, and when Roscoe had noticed the secret collusion between Ashby and Fergus Archer, he couldn’t sleep well. He was determined to win over one of the other three generals to counterbalance Fergus Archer!
Among the other three, Lord Snow and Lord Fisher were both over sixty, while only General Wolf Sean was young and full of potential!
So, Roscoe set his sights on Sean!
Roscoe and Julia’s father, Prince Adam, secretly discussed the idea of betrothing Julia to Sean to win him over through marriage!
However, their plan failed and was rejected by Padishah!
Instead, Dillard Jefferson, the head of the Jefferson family, proposed at Ashby’s behest that Julia should marry Fergus Archer to stabilize the situation in the south!
Unexpectedly, Padishah agreed!
And so, the grand wedding half a month later was arranged!
As for the ins and outs of this matter, Carl only told Sean about Julia and Fergus Archer’s part at the Jade Restaurant. He didn’t mention Julia and Sean’s part!
Sean probably couldn’t even dream that all of this was because of him. At the time, he was fighting on the battlefield in the north, completely unaware that he was about to be paired with Julia!
“So what?”
Mentioning this matter, Roscoe’s face darkened. He felt that he had come up with such a good plan, only for it to ultimately benefit Ashby!
Julia had become a victim!
“Hehe!” Ashby sneered, saying, “As far as I know, Fergus Archer is a cruel and bloodthirsty man, an unforgiving ruthless character! He never tolerates anything going against his wishes.”
“If he finds out that his fiancée almost became another man’s woman, Roscoe, what do you think he would do to that man?”
“Sean is as good as dead!” Roscoe’s heart sank slightly. If Fergus Archer indeed wanted to target Sean for this reason, they would be powerless to stop him. Unless, Sean could turn the tables and take the opportunity to eliminate Fergus Archer!
“But can he kill Sean?” Roscoe scoffed, “What if Fergus Archer just ends up dead in the capital? Your plan might fail, and the wedding would become a funeral. That would be something to look forward to…” He finished, walking straight out of the café and leaving.
Outside the café were two motorcades, both filled with top-of-the-line luxury cars reserved for the royal family. Roscoe got into one of them.
“Roscoe, we shall see then.” Ashby seemed extremely confident in Fergus Archer’s abilities. He sneered at Roscoe’s retreating figure, then ordered, “This café is too old to be on this street. Demolish it.”
With a wave of his hand, he strode towards the other motorcade.
Boom!
Their motorcades went in opposite directions. When the two were about a hundred meters apart, the entire café collapsed with a deafening explosion, turning into a pile of rubble!
The café was a place Ashby and Roscoe often frequented in their youth, full of shared memories.
But now, in the blink of an eye, it was all gone.
The café’s collapse and the parting of the motorcades seemed to symbolize the complete breakdown of the brothers’ relationship…
…
At 7:30 pm, the Jefferson family!
After Gerard had his men deliver Gary Jefferson’s body back to the Jefferson mansion, the entire household was plunged into immense grief and rage, their cries and curses echoing through the estate.
A group of women surrounded Gary Jefferson’s body, weeping bitterly.
A group of dark energy fighters, led by the current head of the family, Rawdan Jefferson, gathered together, their faces gloomy and their icy gazes as chilling as winter frost.
Gary Jefferson was Rawdan Jefferson’s son, the grandson of the former head, Dillard Jefferson, and the future heir of the Jefferson family!
But now…
He had met such a sudden, violent end, killed by Sean with a single chopstick on the rooftop of the Jade Restaurant!
“Master!” they cried. “You must avenge Gary!”
“My Gary!”
“Poor fellow!”
“Prince Gerard’s men just brought Gary’s body back. They must have told you who the murderer is, right? Hurry, Master! Send someone to catch the murderer!”
After half a day of crying, the women suddenly surrounded Rawdan Jefferson. Some grabbed his arm, others clung to his leg, all weeping and shouting for him to avenge Gary Jefferson!
Rawdan Jefferson clenched his teeth, fists tightened, and veins bulging in his neck, but hesitated!
Gerard’s men, who had delivered the body, had indeed informed Rawdan Jefferson about Sean killing Gary Jefferson. At the same time, they had warned him that Sean was an extraordinary fighter and the Jefferson family might not stand a chance against him. They urged Rawdan Jefferson to be patient and not to act rashly!
Rawdan Jefferson’s desire for revenge was stronger than anyone else’s!
But he dared not defy Gerard’s orders!
As he hesitated, his lips moved, about to speak, when suddenly, a man’s voice came from the entrance: “You want revenge, don’t you?”
“No need for the trouble. The one who killed Gary Jefferson is me!”
