Chapter 232 · Ash’s Persuasion
Ash set down her glass slowly, the composure in her eyes fading completely.“You helped me. Why won’t you admit it?” Kane lit a cigarette. Wreathed in smoke, his tone held genuine confusion.Ash dropped her gaze and fell silent, hesitation and turmoil swirling in her eyes.Kane pressed forward, his voice earnest. “I crippled Kennard tonight. The rift between us is irreparable, a fight to the death. There’s no need for you to keep hiding things, to keep guarding yourself from me.”Ash turned to gaze out the window at the glittering night skyline. After a long pause, she relented, her voice soft yet clear. “Fine. I sent the text.”A flicker of light flashed across Kane’s eyes. “Why warn me? You’re far closer to the Young Master than I am.”Ash smoothed back her hair and explained calmly. “I don’t want you to fall so soon. And I refuse to let my company get dragged into this bottomless conflict for no reason.”“He had every reason to keep you alive, to balance all the competing factions.
Chapter 231. Game of Power and The Final Kill Plan
After a long silence, the Third Young Master suddenly lifted his gaze, cold scheming glinting in his eyes. “Scrap the original plan. If the Black Street route is blocked by Kane, we will bypass him and negotiate directly with the upstream suppliers.”Theodore froze on the spot, utterly stunned.“Pull every connection we have and offer enough benefits.” The Third Young Master narrowed his eyes, sounding certain of victory. “We will secure the supply channels even if we have to make concessions. Xiao Hou, this matter is fully entrusted to you.”The lean young man licked his lip, doubt clouding his expression. “Do you really think this can work? All those people who died in the Vieira incident…”The Third Young Master rose slowly. His tone was cold and unshakable, steeped in ruthless pragmatism. “Every grudge has its price. Even blood feuds can be settled if the profit is large enough.”...The vehicle rolled to a smooth stop. Kane pushed the door open, climbed the steps, and stepped alo
Chapter 230. The Informant in Shadows
Kane let out a low, bitter laugh, flicking his cigarette butt out the car window. His eyes swirled with helplessness and inner turmoil.Cole knew full well this was the one and only time he would use their bond as mentor and protégé to pressure Kane. Just this once. Never again.A phone ring suddenly sliced through the quiet inside the vehicle.Kane answered the call, his eyes closed for four long seconds. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse and his eyes stung red. “Every single one of us owes our lives to Uncle Cole.”Holt fell silent on the other end of the line.“Spare his life.” Kane kept his eyes shut, speaking each word slowly and heavily....Two precise gunshots rang out. Bullets tore clean through Kennard’s knees.A heavy thud. Blinding pain exploded through Kennard’s legs, and his body crashed hard to the ground.Holt stepped forward and drove his boot brutally into Kennard’s chest. Kennard screamed in agony, slamming backward onto the floor, his body convulsing.Holt’s face
Chapter 229 Fractured Alliances
The trembling female companion pointed toward a white cellphone. “That one’s his.”“Unlock it.” Lacey ordered coldly.Within a dozen seconds, the phone was unlocked. Lacey dialed the top-pinned number straight away.The call connected, and Kennard’s anxious voice came through. “Hello? What now?”Lacey spoke in a flat, emotionless tone, every word cutting deep. “Kennard. It’s Lacey. I’ve just dealt with your son.”A dead silence crashed over the line, nothing but stunned disbelief.“My father told me to tell you, this feud is far from over.” Lacey’s voice turned icy. “If you make it out of this building alive, come see him for one last look.”He ended the call right after speaking.“Pull out.”...More than ten minutes later, two black SUVs cut through the night and pulled over steadily at the curb.Holt, clean-shaved bald with a hardened aura, pushed open the door and stepped out. Rafe and a squad of elite fighters followed close behind. The lethal ambush outside the Nightspot club an
Chapter 228 Exposed Scheme and Bloody Counterstrike
Hagan kept a respectful posture and answered Thaddeus in a clear, methodical tone. “Mr. Thaddeus, I’m here on Kane’s behalf. You demanded he answer for what happened tonight. He says grudges and rules are separate matters, and personal conflicts cannot override business.”He stepped aside to reveal the two captives behind him, his voice turning icy. “These two are the answer. They are the ones who ambushed you on the street and opened fire to assassinate you tonight.”Thaddeus’s pupils narrowed in stark shock.“Tonight’s chaos stirred up far too much commotion.” Hagan passed along Kane’s message. “Kane knows he disrupted South Screen District. He’s essentially solved this shooting case ahead of Director Bradford. These two men are left entirely in your hands to deal with.”Thaddeus stared at Hagan, silent for a long moment, his mind racing with thoughts.“I’ve delivered the message. I’ll take my leave.” Hagan turned to go.“Wait.” Thaddeus spoke up before he could leave.Hagan halted
Chapter 227 Capture the Assassin
"Yeah, just one shot, clean and lethal." The gunman shook his head. "Unknown shooter. Most likely a trap set by the crew at the Nightspot club.""This incident carries massive repercussions. If they launch an investigation, there’ll be endless trouble." The contact issued the order at once. "Wipe all traces from the scene, erase every lead, and return to base immediately.""Copy."The call ended, and the air inside the car turned suffocatingly heavy.The driver lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, muttering in frustration. "We botched the job, and he still has the nerve to blame us?""He’s sitting safe and sound judging from afar." The gunman in the passenger seat seethed. "No one could’ve gotten out unscathed in that dead-end situation. I don’t think this guy understands the field at all!""Tell me about it. I always thought he—"A dull gunshot suddenly ripped through the quiet suburbs!The bullet punched through the front windshield and buried itself dead-center in the driver’s for
