Chapter 900 Terence Group’s Demise
“First, Sebastian Oatley’s case has been classified as a murder. The footage of you tampering with his car tires was accidentally caught on surveillance cameras, so Emmanuel will definitely target you first. Second, as my personal bodyguard, you’ll have to protect me even if Emmanuel decides to come after me. Am I right?”
Magnus concluded, watching Blake with a sly grin.
Blake laughed heartily, slapping his thigh. “Fantastic! You cunning b*stard, using your status to pressure me. It seems I’ll have to face off with Emmanuel.”
“Are you afraid of him?” Magnus asked, clearly trying to provoke Blake.
But Blake didn’t play by the rules either. He smacked his thigh again and exclaimed, “Afraid? Hell, yes! Why wouldn’t I be? What if I can’t beat him? He’s the guy who effortlessly defeated Quinn!”
Blake’s reputation was well–known, but Emmanuel had an impressive track record as well. Heroes respected each other, so typically, experts wouldn’t willingly engage in a life–or–death battle unless absolutely necessary. Winning a fight didn’t earn you any rewards, and losing would spell disaster. Anybody would be afraid.
“I’m truly disappointed in your response.” Magnus shook his head and sighed. “But luckily, your answer was, within my calculations. So, for your safety, I temporarily took you out of Yeringham. Do you understand how good I am to you now?”
Blake was taken aback for a moment and then grinned widely. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If I had said I wasn’t afraid of Emmanuel just now, I’m sure you’d have had another set of arguments, right?”
Magnus smiled without saying a word, essentially confirming it.
Blake expressed some regret, saying, “You’ve planned meticulously to bring down the Quillen family, all to get Terence Quillen to reveal those two things. Tomorrow should be the historic moment when Terence Group falls, and I really wanted to see it in person!”
