What happened under Brillia Hotle didn’t shock Neil and the others, because at this moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Leo. All of them could tell that the atmosphere in the room changed after Leo spoke. At first, success seemed assured, and then it became an even game, but now, something tipped the scales in Leo’s favor.
Neil and the others had never expected things to go this way.
"Calm down. He’s bluffing!" Roman roared all of a sudden. He shot a sullen look at Leo before growling at the others, "Just think about it. What is he? He’s a loser abandoned by the Ford family. How can he call so many people together?"
Among these people, Roman was the eldest and the most authoritative one, so people recovered themselves after hearing him and looked coldly at Leo.
"I was almost fooled by you."
"Do you know you’re at death’s door? How dare you bullshit!"
"Mr. O’Brien, this guy is weird. Stop talking nonsense with him and shoot him as soon as possible, in case something else happens."
Some shouted abuse at Leo, while others grew wary of him. They started to talk to Neil one after another.
Neil also thought Leo was weird. Roman hit all the right notes, but the relaxed look on Leo’s face put more pressure on him.
"Fine! In that case, I won’t bullshit with him anymore. Shoot him!" Neil made up his mind and roared.
As soon as he finished his words, all the bodyguards aimed their guns at Leo’s head.
At this moment, Ronnie’s heart jumped into his throat, while Leo remained so calm and cool. He stared scornfully at Neil. "I gave you a chance, but unfortunately, you don’t take it seriously."
Neil replied with an evil look on his face, "If these are your last words, you can die n…"
Bang!
Before Neil could finish his last word, suddenly, there was a loud bang from outside the room. Then the door of the banquet hall was opened. A manager-looking man staggered towards Neil and flung himself to the floor in front of him, terrified.
"Mr…. Mr. O’Brien, terrible news! Brillia Hotle is surrounded! The heads of many distinguished families gather together to ask for an explanation from you!"
"What?!" Neil was astonished to hear that. Meanwhile, the bodyguards were also too shocked to shoot.
Why would the heads of the distinguished families gather together?
"What should we do now, dad?" Dwayne slumped down in the chair and asked, pale-faced.
Neil thought for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Calm them down and let them wait in the VIP room first. I’ll meet them when I sort things out here…"
"How dare you let us wait in the VIP room, Neil? How dare you?" Before Neil could finish his sentence, a cold voice chimed in loudly.
Bang!
Hardly had the manager left than he came back, but he was kicked back. He lay on the floor motionless, his pupils dilated. Apparently, he passed out.
Neil looked at the end of the corridor with his bloodshot eyes, only to see a dignified middle-aged man, who was in his 40s and followed by a bunch of bodyguards, walking into the banquet hall and glancing about the room aggressively.
It was the head of the Simpson family, Lennox Simpson.
"Dad! Why are you here?" Mollie cried in surprise in the crowd, looking frightened.
Lennox shot a cold glance at Mollie and gave a disgusted snort. "I’ll fix you later!"
Flop!
Mollie collapsed to the floor in despair as soon as she heard her father.
Meanwhile, Neil scowled at Lennox. "Mr. Simpson, what do you mean by that?"
"Of course I’m going to start a war with the O’Brien family!" No sooner had Lennox finished speaking than his bodyguards surrounded all the O’Briens.
