No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 271

Everyone’s gaze fell upon Ronnie, who had been sitting on his seat all the time, right after Neil questioned him in a low voice. Even Irene and Michelle stared at Ronnie in astonishment, because they never expected that he would be the one helping them at such a critical moment.

At this point, Ronnie rose to his feet slowly with a sullen face against everyone’s unfriendly look.

"Mr. O’Brien, would you please do me a favor and let them off?"

Hostility glinting in his eyes, Neil squinted at Ronnie instead of flying into a rage. "Ronnie, we’ve always been close to each other, and I know you’ve liked Michelle for a long time. I was going to give her to you tonight, but why would you suddenly make such a ridiculous request?"

Roman, Marcel, Fabian and Mollie also stared coldly at Ronnie, waiting for him to give an explanation.

Ronnie said frankly after a long pause, "People change. It’s true that I like Michelle, but I can never get her heart by playing tricks."

Astonished, Michelle felt as if she had never known Ronnie before.

Neil’s expression froze, but he still nodded. "Well, fine. I’ll let Michelle go. After all, she’s a star. It’ll do no good to the O’Brien family if things escalate."

"And let her go too!" Ronnie pointed at Irene and said.

"Ronnie Stewart…" Hardly had Ronnie finished his words than Neil roared with a scowl.

Everyone was startled by Neil, who glared at Ronnie with veins popping out of his forehead. "I’m already doing you a favor by letting Michelle go. Don’t push your luck!"

"Neil’s right! We can’t let Irene go!" Mollie chimed in with resentment, "Ronnie, I know you’re from the Stewart family, but there’s a lot of us here. Are you sure you want to be our enemy?"

Dwayne also stepped forward, his face sullen. "Ronnie, Mr. Stewart, we respect you, but now, you owe us an explanation!"

Ronnie went silent upon hearing that, and his face darkened.

Meanwhile, both Irene and Michelle also wanted to know why Ronnie would help them.

Now that Leo had passed out, the two women couldn’t get out of this dangerous place at all. But why would Ronnie help them running the risk of offending everyone else present?

"I’m afraid you’ve long betrayed me, haven’t you?" Neil asked, his voice grim.

What Neil said sent shivers down everyone’s spine. At the same time, Dwayne stared at Ronnie in disbelief.

"It’s impossible for Leo to see through my game, no matter how resourceful he is. However, he would suddenly suspect that I drugged his drink. Is that normal?"

Scowling at Ronnie, Neil asked slowly, "You must have tipped him off, right?"

"Did you? You betrayed us!" Dwayne also asked through clenched teeth. "Only the three of us knew the plan!"

Ronnie stayed silent, his fists clenched, as if he was under strong pressure. But just as he looked over at Leo, who had blacked out but still looked calm, Ronnie suddenly got an answer.

He took a deep breath and looked right into Neil’s eyes. "I’m afraid you’re wrong. Your plan would never have worked out, no matter I tipped him off or not, because you won’t make it anyway. In Leo’s eyes, you’re nothing but a clown!"

"How dare you!" Neil burst into anger. "You’re not seeing the big picture here, Ronnie! You master Leo is on the chopping block. He’s at our mercy now, and so are these two women. You’ll get yourself killed by going against me at this moment!"

"It’s true that you’re the head of the Stewart family, but your family has been on the wane, and you’re not so powerful as you think!"

Ronnie said nothing, his face clouding over.

Neil was right. The Steward family had been declining rapidly, and their family business was failing. The Stewart family was no longer so powerful as it had used to be. Even the O’Brien family could pick on him.

A sneer suddenly crossed Neil’s face. "Do you think you’re still an eagle? No, you’re just a bird without wings. You’re a sitting duck."

"Right! You’re just a sitting duck!"
