Hudson Scott, that was Connor Scott’s son! Hudson’s mother, that was Connor Scott’s wife!
He rushed his wife and kid out of trouble in Hilshire last night to the Capital City to keep them safe!
But they disappeared!
He searched all day without any clues. And now, Sean was saying that it was Owen Sanchez who stepped in to kidnap his wife and kid?
He was just trying to curry favor with Sean?
He was using his wife and kid as leverage to curry favor with Sean?
Everyone looked up at Owen Sanchez, waiting for his answer. Owen Sanchez was embarrassed but undaunted by Connor Scott’s presence. “Yes,” he nodded.
“Bastard!”
In a flash, Connor Scott went ballistic. His hatred of Owen Sanchez outweighed his fear of Sean. Desperately, he struggled to his feet and jumped directly at Owen Sanchez, saying through gritted teeth, “I’ll fucking kill you!”
“Give me back my wife and my kid!”
However, Mr. Brain stepped forward and got in front of Owen Sanchez. There was a great deal of energy in his bent body. He threw Connor Scott to the ground with a flick of his hand, looked down at Connor Scott with disdain, and shouted, “Bring them up.”
Footsteps sounded.
Immediately, a dozen Sanchez family’s bodyguards entered the cemetery, carrying two men. It was Hudson and his mother who were in a coma.
“Hudson!”
Connor Scott was in tears and tried to check on his wife and child, but was trampled on his chest by Mr. Brain. He was trampled like a turtle that had been turned upside down. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t get up.
Morton Miller and Michael Taylor were shocked, thinking, “Looks like we got Connor wrong…”
Ignoring Connor Scott’s cries and abuse, Owen Sanchez bent down to Sean and said, “Please do as you please, Mr. Mason.”
Suddenly, all eyes were on Sean again.
What was Sean gonna do about it?
Killed them all?
He had killed so many people before, including Reid sent by the Mason family of the Capital City. Now, no one could doubt Sean’s courage and guts.
He dared to kill!
Sean’s icy eyes swept over Morton Miller and others, making them turn cold with his eagle-like eyes. There was a sense of dread and despair awaiting the verdict of death.
“Kill them all.”
Moments later, Sean said. And his voice was cold and unemotional. With a single word, Morton Miller and others would die. But instead of doing it himself, he walked up to Owen Sanchez and said as he walked, “You, do it yourself. I want the heads of Morton Miller, Michael Taylor, and Connor Scott. I need them.”
Owen Sanchez was startled, “Mr. Mason, but…”
Despite being the richest man in Hilshire, having made his way to where he was today, Owen Sanchez had done a lot of murder and arson, but he had never done it himself.
And Sean asked him, the richest man in the city, to take out the three families himself, and asked for the heads of Morton Miller and others.
Same with Reid!
Sean just said that when Reid died, he would send Reid’s head to the Mason family in the Capital City to officially declare his return as king!
So, when Sean asked for the heads of Morton Miller and others, was he trying to...
To make up the number of an amount?
After all, what happened five years ago was masterminded by the Mason family of The Capital City, carried out by Morton Miller and others. The three of them were the executioners, with the blood of Nicola and Jayden’s family on their hands!
“What, don’t you dare?”
Sean kept walking. As he walked past Owen Sanchez, he said coolly, “You didn’t provide me timely help, and I don’t need icing on the cake. Remember, Hudson Scott and his mother are not your gifts to me. They do not represent your sincerity.”
“It’s compensation for having someone watch me. I don’t owe you anything.”
Then he walked straight out of the cemetery.
Owen Sanchez stood there, staring at Mr. Brain, his mind racing, trying to figure out what Sean meant.
The implication was that he sent someone to kidnap Hudson Scott and his mother and send them to Sean for nothing.
On the contrary!
If he did, Sean didn’t owe him one. If he didn’t, he owed Sean a debt?
What a deal…
He lost.
He could only blame himself for thinking too much, trying to maximize the benefits, minimizing the risks, wavering, and not being firm enough, and failing to escape Sean’s notice.
So, his coming out of nowhere now, icing on the cake, wasn’t enough to earn Sean’s trust.
“Mr. Mason, I’ll do it.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Owen Sanchez gritted his teeth and made up his mind as Sean approached the cemetery entrance. He grabbed a steel knife from a nearby bully and slashed Caleb Taylor, who was closest to him.
Suddenly, the cemetery in a mess!
There were shrill cries, anguished howls, humble pleas for mercy, and hysterical invective that pierced the eardrums.
But Sean ignored it.
It was a familiar scene for Sean, who had killed in battle and trampled on dead bodies.
Five minutes later, the cemetery was completely quiet.
Owen Sanchez and Mr. Brain walked out of the cemetery together behind Sean, and whispered, “Mr. Mason, I did what you asked.”
“Ok.”
