Chapter 1333: Another Underhanded Trick
faster than a rabbit!""At least I'm still here calling the police, he's out there living it up in some woman's bed. What gives him the right to compare himself to me""Chang, don't think others are as...On the road north of Apple City, a red Ferrari raced forward like a bolt of lightning.
Eric Field, of the Field family, was behind the wheel. He'd been known to race with others before, and he had some pretty decent driving skills.
After receiving the order to escape, he immediately drove out with his wife, escaping from Apple City first with his speed.
"Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief."
As soon as he left the city, he immediately reduced his speed and looked incredibly relaxed. The past few days at the Field family had been unbearable, with someone dying every day. The pressure had been immense.
If he persisted, he didn't know if it would be him who died tonight.
"Yeah, I've been scared out of my wits these past few days."
Speaking was his wife, Anne, who was seated in the passenger seat at the moment.
Although he wasn't a direct descendant of the Field family, watching others get assassinated was also a terrible experience.
"It's alright, everything is over. What a load of rubbish about mysterious assassins. Now that we've escaped Apple City, he'll never find us again. From now on, we are finally free, finally safe, hahaha…"
Eric laughed triumphantly, but just then a cold voice came from behind him.
"Is that so Are you really safe"
Hearing this sound, Eric was instantly terrified out of his wits and slammed on the brakes to a halt.
Looking back, he saw that at some point, a man wearing a clown mask had taken a seat in the back row and was looking at him with a playful smirk.
“You… you… you…”
Eric was too scared to speak. This was terrifying, how did the other person get into his car
"I'm the bull**** you were talking about, now I'm sending you to your grave."
Si Tufei smiled faintly, and then a ghostly light flashed in his hand. A black dagger instantly slashed across Eric's throat.
"Ah..."
Horrified, Anne let out a piercing scream at the sight.
Si Tufei frowned, "Don't call it so ugly, okay Otherwise, I might kill you too."
"Ugh..."
Anne didn't think the other person was joking. She hurriedly covered her mouth.
"That's right," Si Tu 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!" As he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he disappeared from the car.
Anne then released her hand that had been covering her mouth, and she gave Eric a terrified glance beside her. He had completely stopped breathing.
Remembering the other's warning, she hurriedly took out her phone and tremblingly dialed Orlando's number.
"What Did you see that mysterious assassin"
"I saw him, but he was wearing a mask, so I couldn't tell who it was," Annie stammered. "Eric is dead now, and the man said that anyone else who dared to escape Apple City would be killed."
"I understand."
Orlando hung up the phone, pulling his car over to the side of the road. His expression was now grave; things were far more complicated than he'd anticipated. The other party had clearly expected him to run.
Should you retreat yourself, even if the other party is incredibly skilled, could a single person realistically block so many escape routes
Just as he was hesitating whether to take the risk and try it, phone calls came in one after another, all from members of his family.
In just a short while, three or four more people had been killed by the assassin's attacks.
"Damn him, he's a devil."
Orlando had completely abandoned any hope of luck now. The opponent was not merely an assassin, but a group of masters, otherwise it would be impossible to intercept the family's escape with such density.
Having no other choice, he issued the order to retreat and led his people back to the Field family estate.
These people went through all that trouble and ended up right back where they started, the only difference being that five more core members of the family are dead.
Orlando sighed and once again arrived at the Brown family, sitting down with Crestton to discuss a countermeasure.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that Chinese kid to have such a tight plan. We can't even escape."
Orlando first cursed before asking, "Master, what should we do now"
People kill one core member every day, and he has no power to resist. This matter is like a mountain pressing heavily on his heart.
Kreighton's face darkened, he was starting to regret this. His opponent was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Before I thought his investigation had thoroughly understood the opponent, now it seems completely not, at least the other party has so many masters, which is beyond expectation.
It's no use just regretting things now, we have to find a way to solve the current predicament.
"Orlando, you don't have many options usually, do you What do you think we should do"
"Master, I believe we only have two options now."
First, bow your heads and submit to Ye Bufan's demands. Negotiate with him and plead for his mercy so that he will spare both our families.
"What about the second one"
As the head of the proud Brown family, Kreighton wouldn't choose this option, after all, it was simply too humiliating.
"The second is that we again take a risky military approach."
A crafty gleam flashed across Orlando's portly face, "That boy is only so brazen in attacking our two families because he thinks we can't touch him. As long as we make him afraid, he'll naturally stop assassinating our people."
Kreighton frowned, in fact, he was truly helpless against Ye Bufan now.
"So how do you think we can make them afraid"
Orlando said, "I've heard this kid is a heartbreaker. He has many women, but he treats each one like she's more precious than his own life."
As long as we send someone to bring Lu Banxia back, with a hostage in hand, we'll immediately have leverage in the negotiations.
Kreighton pondered for a moment, "The plan is good, but will the other party be prepared"
It doesn't matter if they're prepared. We can gather the top experts from both families and launch a surprise attack. Even if they're ready, they won't be able to withstand the combined might of our two families.
As long as we catch Lu Banxia, we can turn things around immediately and stop being so passive.
Clinton thought about it for a moment, and indeed that was the case.
Now they have gathered all the experts within the family, but their whereabouts are mysterious, and they can't be found at all. They are completely useless in this situation. It would be better to send them out to do something directly.
But this is a double-edged sword. Once they succeed, they immediately have bargaining chips to negotiate with Ye Bufan, but if they fail, they are likely to anger the other party.
Orlando said, "Master, make a decision quickly. We can't hold on any longer."
Though he called himself a cunning old fox, the Field family ultimately was just a vassal of the Brown family, and the final decision still rested with Creston.
Crestton hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Wealth and nobility are sought in danger, let's try again!"
As the head of one of the Four Great Families of Apple City, he ultimately refused to lower his proud head.las, however, was unaware of all this and called out again, "No, for the one I love, I must stand my ground."Helena curled her lip, a sneer playing on her delicate features."You want to challenge me T...
