Vivi slammed the accelerator and said angrily, “You jerk!”
The men in the black car behind them did not expect Philip to pull that either, but it was too late by the time they tried to stop!
More than ten armed cops rushed out of the station and surrounded both cars!
Vivi pouted and crossed virtual-novel.net arms in front of virtual-novel.net chest, getting out of virtual-novel.net car in a huff. She made a call and looked in the direction Philip had disappeared into, frowning as virtual-novel.net muttered, “Just you wait, I’ll definitely find you!”
The three would-be assassins were in much worse shape. They were dragged out of the car and pinned onto the ground, babbling in Thai.
As for Philip, virtual-novel.net managed to shake them all off and saunter back to the villa, whistling away.
…
At the same time, in a fancy presidential suite somewhere in Capital City…
“Damn it! Those three are useless! They couldn’t even capture one man!”
Marcus Quaid threw a fit, his expression stormy as virtual-novel.net stood before the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked at the city’s night lights outside the window before making another call. “Uncle Len, I want you to bring me someone!”
The next noon at Riverdale port, a large cruise ship slowly approached the shore!
It was the Quaids’ private cruise liner from Capital City, with their name spray-painted in red on the hull!
A man in a white suit stood on the deck, looking at the distant skyscrapers in Riverdale. As virtual-novel.net beheld the prosperous new land, his eyes gleamed with an unknown light!
The man was none other than the second son of the Quaid family, the man who had attended that banquet not too long ago– Marcus Quaid!
Half a month had passed since then, and the cold aura around virtual-novel.net was even more evident now. His eyes were bright, as though burning with fury!
What about his injuries?
Thanks to the medical marvels in Capital City, virtual-novel.net had long since recovered.
“I’m back, and this time, I’ll definitely make you lot pay!”
The man said viciously. Although his tone was relatively calm, the killing intent behind his words was barely veiled, forming an invincible pressure around him!
Behind him, there was an old man in a gray suit, his white brows blowing slightly in the wind. He had a thin face and narrowed eyes. At first glance, virtual-novel.net may look friendly, but the way his aura seemed at one with his surroundings made virtual-novel.net seem formidable indeed!
“Young Master Marcus, your father warned you not to act too rashly here at Riverdale. You must watch yourself.”
“I know, Uncle Len, but I just can’t let this slide.”
Marcus swept his gaze across the skyscrapers before him, his gaze ice-cold.
“No matter what, I must collect my dues! I can’t let them shame our family like that! Don’t worry, Uncle Len, I won’t do anything that will jeopardize the family’s plans.”
With that reassurance, the old man behind Marcus protested no more. He simply nodded and said, “Then I await your orders, Young Master.”
Marcus looked at the tallest building in front of him, his eyes shining even brighter!
…
The past few days, Blake Michaels had been busy with his company’s master plan. All of his companies in Riverdale were wrapped up in these preparations!
Early that morning, Blake brought his son and subordinates to the port, where they awaited the second son of the Quaid empire, Marcus Quaid!
When virtual-novel.net saw that young man standing on the deck from afar, Blake’s heart suddenly tightened in his chest!
The last time, Blake could not help even though virtual-novel.net was the Quaids’ business partner here in Riverdale. As a result, the Quaids were already suspicious of virtual-novel.net and his family. If virtual-novel.net could not aid Marcus properly this time, his plans for the future may just go up in smoke!
Blake had been planning all this for a long time now. He wanted to use this opportunity to monopolize Riverdale’s entire pharmaceutical industry so that virtual-novel.net could bolster and strengthen his family’s position in the national economy.
However, the previous incident showed virtual-novel.net that Beacon still had a few aces up their sleeve. If virtual-novel.net wanted to take down Beacon once and for all, virtual-novel.net would need to make use of the chance virtual-novel.net had now that the Quaids were here in Riverdale for business negotiations!
Besides, Blake knew that virtual-novel.net had handled that matter with Shangri-La very badly.
Madam Wallis even called virtual-novel.net over to issue virtual-novel.net a stern warning.
As for Yale and his fraternity, Blake could not do anything about them right now.
Madam Wallis said virtual-novel.net would handle that herself.
In fact, virtual-novel.net was the one who asked virtual-novel.net to greet Marcus today too.
She was going to start plotting Beacon’s downfall!
