Since the Soo family betrayed the Turner family and stabbed them in the back, Alfie had lost his qualification to compete with Osvaldo for Selena.
Selena could be Osvaldo's wife, Christ's savior, but she would never be Alfie's fiancee.
As the crowd listened to this answer, they were shocked yet also not surprised.
Osvaldo offered his kingdom as a betrothal gift.
Christ cut off his own arm.
Alfie was even more ruthless, uprooting his entire family.
At this moment, the people didn't know whether to curse Selena as a bringer of misfortune, or to marvel at the sheer ruthlessness of these three men.
Nicholas was so angry that he was gasping for breath. "Alfie--"
He lifted his cane and was about to rush over to hit Alfie, but was grabbed by the soldiers who had come out from behind Oscar.
At the same time, there were screams of terror coming from all over the Soo family mansion.
Nicholas knew full well that any blood relative of his who had ever been given a position of responsibility by him would not be able to escape.
The capture of these people was just proof of what Osvaldo had said earlier: From tomorrow on, there will be no more Soo family in the capital!
Under the watchful eye of the Anderson family's secret guards, all of the Soo family's resistance was crushed without any use.
The power, glory, ambition, bloodline, and identity that he had sought after for his whole life were destroyed in an instant.
Nicholas' aged face was completely twisted, every inch of his expression steeped in resentment and regret. "Alfie, I curse you that you will never find love in this life!"
Alfie quietly watched as those blood relatives connected to him were taken away one by one. He met the twisted and resentful faces, his expression silently disappearing into the darkness.
He stood in the half-light and half-darkness, incredibly lonely, but also incredibly persistent.
No one spoke.
Until Nicholas and his group were all taken away.
Alfie finally emerged from the darkness. The vermilion between his eyebrows was so red that it was dazzling. His voice was indistinguishable between being cold or gentle. "The engagement banquet is cancelled. You may all leave."
Everyone looked at the outstanding man with mixed emotions, and upon hearing his words, those who reacted immediately turned and left.
Nicholas and all the leaders of the Soo family were arrested, and the Soo family was sure to fall from the ranks of the four major families. The capital would soon usher in another round of great cleansing. Tonight's excitement was just beginning.
Patrick looked at Alfie with complex eyes and lowered his head to Oscar, "Father, I'm going to check on Selena."
By the time the Turner family arrived, Selena had already been taken away by Osvaldo.
Patrick still didn't know how Selena was doing.
Oscar nodded, "Go ahead."
Patrick turned and left.
Oscar looked in a certain direction and said, "Let's go back."
The Soo family was in chaos, and the Turner family had to seize the opportunity to retrieve everything that had been taken away from them by the Soo family in the past.
Oscar led the Turner family to leave, leaving only Christ and Alfie behind.
Osvaldo was the first to leave.
He was concerned about Selena and immediately went to find her after witnessing the collapse of the Soo family. However, his actions were too fast, and no one noticed him.
Therefore, no one heard Christ ask him a question with a sneer when he passed by Christ, "Do you really not know that the drink was poisoned?"
The three of them knew what was going on tonight.
It was not so much that Nicholas and Vivian conspired against Osvaldo, but rather the result of the three men taking advantage of the situation.
Christ wanted to get Selena, Alfie wanted to destroy the Soo family with the help of the Turner family and the Anderson family, and break free from his puppet-like life.
