"You have no right to know who he is!" Judge responded. "If you don't want to die here today, I suggest you take the opportunity he's giving you! Otherwise, I don't mind personally sending you on your way!"
Upon hearing his words, all three of them knelt down and kowtowed vigorously towards Billy.
"I beg of you, please spare my nephew this time..." Brian was the first to speak up. "I'm willing to pay compensation money. Consider it as compensation for Miss Miles. You name the amount and I'll transfer the money immediately..."
The other two family heads also nodded quickly, expressing their willingness to pay as long as they could save their sons' lives.
"You guys are very rich?" Billy took a sip of wine. "So how much do you plan on paying? One trillion or ten trillion?"
"I..." Brian struggled to speak and was at a loss for words. Although the Watkins family ranked first in Ozin's big families, they couldn't come up with more than 10 billion cash.
"Give each of them a knife, and if they don't cut the rope within three minutes, let them jump on their own!" Billy took a sip of his cigarette and spoke lightly.
Bang!
Three cold machetes were thrown in front of the three.
"I... I'll make a call..." Brian said trembling as he pulled out his phone. He was making one last attempt. As the second in command of the Watkins family, he knew some people in Ozin's underworld and hoped to save his nephew's life. One minute later, the first call went through. But before he could finish speaking, the other party heard it was SHADOW who was involved and hung up directly.
A drop of sweat dripped down from Brian's forehead. Then he dialed another number. Without surprise, halfway through speaking, the phone was hung up again. He tried another two times but failed in the end. The phone fell to the ground and his face turned pale as sheet.
"There's only one minute left!" Judge's voice rang out.
Brian picked up one of the bent swords before staggering towards Albion. The other two family heads had no choice but to bend down and pick up their swords, staggering away.
"Uncle... what are you doing... I'm your nephew..." Albion shouted out.
"Albion.. don't blame me. You made a mistake and must take responsibility for the entire Watkins family. I had no choice..." Brian took a deep breath and raised his sword.
"Don't do it!" Albion screamed. The next moment, his body disappeared into the darkness like a falling leaf. The fate of the other two young masters was the same as Albion's. Their own fathers cut off the hemp ropes that bound them before they fell into the rolling waves of the lake with a thud. Afterwards, Brian and his companions collapsed on the ground at once. In an instant, they seemed to have aged several decades. Tears flowed freely from their eyes as they were overwhelmed by grief and despair.
...
"What?!" Osmond Watkins, the head of the family received his brother's phone call and roared in anger. His son was dead in the river.
Osmond's raging palm slammed onto the coffee table in front of him, causing it to instantly explode. Glass shards scattered all over the ground.
"Please forgive me, brother. I am powerless and cannot save Albion..." Brian sat on the sofa, tears flowing down his face.
Osmond took a deep breath and lit a cigar before looking at him and he said, "This is not your fault, if I were there, I would have made the same choice."
After blowing out smoke, he continued, "Are you sure that kid is here to avenge that little bitch from the Miles family?"
"Yes! He said it himself!"
Osmond looked towards his subordinate standing at the door and spoke in a deep voice, "Find out whether there are any surviving members of the Miles family! Report back immediately as soon as there is any news!"
"Yes, my lord!"
"Brother, that kid has an unusual relationship with SHADOW!" Brian also lit a cigar and took a puff.
"If he really is a remnant of the Miles family, we have to be on guard!"
Osmond snorted and said, "So what? If he's one of the Miles family, even he is the master of SHADOW, I'll let him die again!"
"Call Coman right now, and tell him that his younger brother has been killed, ask him to come back in the next few days." Said Osmond.
