My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 140

"The Laurier and Knight families?" Brian narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

He rarely took notice of such information. Yet, he could vaguely recall how formidable the Laurier and Knight families were in Bridgeport. Shaun did mention his last name earlier, but it hadn't rung a bell.

Realizing the significance of their meeting, he had to report this to Reese.

"Wait here. I'll have someone ask—"

A series of gunshots cut Brian's words short.

Shaun dodged the attack swiftly, avoiding the bullets behind him. Still, the three of them were no match for those people. Brian's expression turned cold as he pondered on how to tackle them.

"They have a death wish for trying to stir trouble in Lagersfield!"

Whisking out a gun from his pocket, he turned toward his subordinates and ordered, "Inform Reese that someone wants to see him. The others shall prepare for a battle."

The guards of Lagersfield City were exceptional. Perfectly composed, they all filed into battle with precise marksmanship.

Shaun was relieved. He was genuinely worried that Brian would ignore them. Indeed, Reese was truly one of a kind—even Loid couldn't order them around.

More and more people came after them. Cars closed in on them in less than five minutes, and the crowd began to grow denser. All of them were armed.

Brian's expression changed drastically. He roared, "Hurry up and inform Reese about this now!"

Lily trained all of them herself, so they were capable of taking on a hundred men alone. However, they were clearly no match for an army of thousands.

Judging from the noise, Brian could tell that more cars were coming. It appeared that the underground forces of the several cities nearby were all headed for them.

At this point, it seemed like Shaun, Neil, and Loid weren't the only ones being pursued. These forces intended to overthrow the authorities in Lagersfield City as well.
