Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 977

Chapter 977 Bailey Gets Injured

Broderick seemed to have heard a hilarious joke, and burst into hearty laughter.

“So, I am just supposed to play sitting duck? The world doesn't work that way. Where's the justice in that?

“Now we stand opposed. Judging by our abilities, I am somewhat stronger than you. If a battle were to ensue, it's not certain that I would lose.

“You propose that I should keep the peace, yet you refuse to make any concessions. This is not how negotiations are conducted.”

Joseph's face darkened, slowly pulling the trigger.

Since we can't see eye to eye, let's not waste any more time arguing.

Handing over half of my power is out of the question.

If he couldn't protect the family business of the Rogers family, then he was incompetent.

He would rather go down fighting than compromise his principles.

Just as he was about to sneer 'attack', a bodyguard rushed from behind, leaning in to whisper a few words in his ear.

Without knowing what the other party had said, the previously spirited Joseph suddenly wilted in the next second, just like a deflated balloon.

Those close to him could clearly perceive the changes in his emotions.

The most noticeable thing was how his body was shaking violently.

“What, what did you say? Harvey, Harvey is... he's dead?”

“Yes, Mr. Joseph, Mr. Harvey vomited blood earlier. We went to find the divine physician, but he has disappeared without a trace.

“A large group of experts were at a loss, they could only watch helplessly as Mr. Harvey coughed up blood and passed away.”

Joseph' pupils violently contracted. That was his son, his only heir.

Now that Harvey had passed away, his line had ended. There was no one to carry on the pure lineage. Why is he still desperately fighting for power and influence?

Haha!

Oh heavens, why must you play such jokes on me?

You gave me hope, and now you give me despair. You really know how to toy with people, and torment them.

Puff!

Under the massive blow, Joseph threw his head back and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing their boss completely collapse, the subordinates behind him all wore expressions ashen as death.

Now that the mainstay has surrendered without a fight. Is there still a need for us to persist?

If we resist fiercely, I'm afraid the end result might be the total annihilation of our forces.

When Broderick saw Joseph violently coughing up blood, he knew that Kurt had succeeded. He had effectively disturbed Joseph's state of mind.

This was the perfect opportunity for battle.

“Once we conquer and completely take over the second branch, we can finally hold our heads high and breathe easy.”

As soon as there was movement on this side, many people from Joseph's side began to step forward, expressing their desire to surrender.

Joseph's loyal followers quickly drew their guns, instantly taking down everyone present.

Right after they had killed these few people, even more people rushed out to surrender.

Then, a scene of both absurdity and irony unfolded, as the members of Joseph's branch began to turn on each other.

Indeed, it was nothing but a self-destruction!

The personal bodyguard of Joseph sternly ordered, “Cover us. Let's escort Mr. Joseph back to the main house to plan our next move.”

At the same moment.

Inside the main house's dungeon.

Simon stormed in with a few assassins and successfully rescued Catherine.

“Simon, how did you manage to escape?” Catherine asked, somewhat puzzled.

Simon's gaze swept around, his attention heightened to its utmost.

He couldn't allow any potential danger to lurk around Catherine, not even the slightest bit.

“Artemis has arrived, and he has mobilized the power of the Luther family. As long as I successfully rescue you, Bailey will lead a team to storm into the Rogers family's residence.

“My dear, I apologize. I didn't want to bathe the Rogers castle in blood either, but I must do this to eliminate all threats around you...”

Catherine tiptoed to kiss him, then pulled back a few seconds later.
