Lily had given orders that no one was allowed to be armed. They had confiscated all the guns from the refugees when they took over Lagersfield City.
This was outrageous! The Maynard family had the gall to carry guns around, even intending to kill people.
Never mind how Lily was going to deal with the Maynards, Luke's own life was already at stake.
"M- Mr. Maynard purchased the guns from the firearms dealers in Zuburg! We have nothing to do with this!"
Having been beaten up by Clinton, Luke shrieked in agony.
"Very well, Maynard family!" Clinton narrowed his eyes. He ordered his subordinates, "Get rid of them now. We'll wipe out the Maynard family today!"
"No!" Luke screamed, kneeling before him. "Mr. Xanders, we've always been supportive of Reese. Why are you targeting the Maynard family out of the blue?"
"Out of the blue?" Clinton glared at him. "You Maynards have messed with someone you shouldn't have. Wiping you out is considered a light punishment."
Lying limp on the ground, Luke spiraled in turmoil. He couldn't fathom whom the Maynard family had offended. As if he was suddenly reminded of something, he looked at Lily. His face paled.
"It's you?"
Lily peered at him coldly. "Yes. So what? I'll grant the Maynard family their death wish since they're that eager to die." Her tone was devoid of any warmth, and she sounded positively menacing.
Just then, Daniel's phone rang. He picked it up, and his expression changed drastically shortly after. Hurrying toward Lily, he said, "Ms. Brooks, something happened at the hospital."
Lily furrowed her brows. "What is it?"
"Someone attacked the ward. Three bodyguards are dead, and I'm afraid that your grandma is…"
Sensing the malice emanating from Lily, Daniel didn't dare to finish his sentence. He froze.
