Seeing Chris Shelby’s icy gaze, Emily felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her heart filled with fear. She lowered her head and said, “I understand!”
“Get out!” Chris Shelby roared.
Emily struggled to stand up and obediently left the room. Watching her leave, Chris Shelby’s face turned somber. As Amerosia Primus, he had spent years on the battlefield, constantly facing life-and-death situations. Even in his sleep, he remained highly alert. Just now, he almost killed Emily. If he hadn’t held back at the last moment, she would be a corpse by now.
When Chris Shelby got up and entered the living room, Esther glared at him and said angrily, “Dear, why did you hit Emily? She was just playing a prank on you. Why did you have to be so harsh?”
Chris Shelby looked over and saw Emily crying pitifully. “Esther, don’t blame Uncle; it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have joked… boohoo…” she sobbed again.
Seeing this, Chris Shelby couldn’t help but feel exasperated. He thought it was a pity that Emily wasn’t an actress. She called Esther by her name but referred to him as Uncle. What kind of relationship was this?
“I…” Faced with Esther’s accusations, Chris Shelby had no way to explain himself. Meanwhile, Juliette and others also glared at him angrily. Chris Shelby sighed helplessly; it seemed he couldn’t stay in this house any longer.
After breakfast, Esther and the others went shopping. Chris Shelby didn’t want to go and stayed home alone. Shopping with women was exhausting; he didn’t want to suffer through it.
Around noon, Chris Shelby’s phone rang. It was a call from Esther. “Dear, what’s wrong?”
“Dear, Emily is missing!”
“What? How did she go missing?”
“We were shopping together in the mall, and then she disappeared!”
“Don’t worry; I’ll handle this!”
After hanging up, Chris Shelby frowned. Emily was missing? He felt speechless; Emily was indeed a troublemaker. Although he didn’t like her much, he couldn’t ignore her disappearance.
Chris Shelby immediately called Bull. “Bull, find someone for me…” Soon after, Bull called back. “Mr. Shelby, I’ve found out that Emily was taken by Flying Leopards. They are currently colluding with Crazy Steer and planning something on the East Coast.”
“Got it. Keep an eye on Flying Leopards and Crazy Steer.”
“Yes!”
After hanging up, Chris Shelby narrowed his eyes and sneered to himself: “Flying Leopards and Crazy Steer? Fine! This time, I’ll destroy you all!”
Meanwhile, in the suburbs of East Coast at an underground casino-an important base for Flying Leopards-Heathcliff Hunter was the boss of Flying Leopards. His rise was legendary; once an ordinary gambler, he became the leader of Flying Leopards overnight. No one knew what he had gone through.
A subordinate hurried over and said, “Boss, Ironheart Steer of Crazy Steer wants to meet you.” Hearing this, Heathcliff Hunter’s expression changed. Crazy Steer operated in the city while Flying Leopards were in the suburbs; they usually didn’t interfere with each other.
However, recently Crazy Steer had been swept by East Coast Securities, making Heathcliff Hunter uneasy. If Crazy Steer were eliminated, East Coast Securities’ next target might be Flying Leopards.
Given this background, Heathcliff Hunter chose to ally with Ironheart Steer. “Where does Ironheart Steer want to meet?” he asked.
“In a dock in the suburbs at 8 PM,” replied his subordinate.
“Let’s go!” Without any hesitation, Heathcliff Hunter left the underground casino with his men.
At that moment, Chris Shelby had also discovered that Emily was taken to Willow Creek-a small town near East Coast and the stronghold of Flying Leopards where most of their members gathered. In Willow Creek, Flying Leopards acted like local tyrants; the townspeople dared not speak against them.
Upon learning this news, Chris Shelby smirked coldly. Tonight, he planned to annihilate Flying Leopards.
“Bull, gather East Coast Securities members; tonight we will wipe out Flying Leopards!”
“Yes!” Bull immediately went to gather East Coast Securities members.
Although ten thousand East Coast Guards had followed Tiger to the border battlefield, Chris Shelby still had twenty thousand East Coast Securities members at his disposal-more than enough for this task.
As night fell and a sense of impending doom enveloped the land…
Suddenly, the ground shook as trucks roared down the highway filled with fully armed East Coast Securities members heading towards Willow Creek with one goal: destroy Flying Leopards!
Chris Shelby and Bull sat at the front of one truck; Chris leaned back in his seat with a cigarette in his mouth looking completely relaxed-deploying twenty thousand men just to eliminate Flying Leopards seemed like overkill!
At 8 PM sharp they arrived at Willow Creek where Chris’s first order was deploying ten thousand men around Willow Creek ensuring no one could escape while leading another ten thousand directly into Willow Creek targeting Flying Leopards’ headquarters!
The quiet streets illuminated only by streetlights bore witness to how terrorized townsfolk stayed indoors due solely because of Flying Leopards’ tyranny-a fact that made Chris frown deeply realizing how much harm they caused locals who couldn’t live peacefully until these thugs were eradicated!
With cold determination flashing through his eyes reflecting murderous intent readying himself for battle ahead while Bull reported: “Mr. Shelby according my investigation their base located north mountain within fort-that’s their headquarters!”
“Excellent! Deploy troops towards their headquarters immediately!” ordered Chris.
“Yes, Sir!”
Without hesitation Bull led ten thousand men charging towards the target!
