“Is that so?”
Ferdinand Braton’s expression changed instantly, but he maintained his composure and said, “Well, in that case, I may have to hide somewhere else. The main attack will rely on you. We’ll coordinate our actions.”
“Understood.”
Emmett Tang nodded, and the two of them discussed briefly before Ferdinand Braton hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Ferdinand Braton’s face turned extremely ugly. He grabbed his phone, his eyes flashing with a hint of killing intent. “Emmett Tang, you have some nerve. Come in.”
“Here.”
Ferdinand Braton’s subordinate walked in from outside the door.
“Spread the word. After fifteen minutes, attack the Tang family with full force, especially those recruited assassins. Kill them all, and anyone who kills Emmett Tang will be heavily rewarded.”
Ferdinand Braton gave the order.
Strike first to gain the upper hand, then counterattack.
He didn’t want the Braton family to be destroyed, so he had no other choice.
At that moment, someone suddenly reported, “Report, the assassins on the outskirts are picking up their pace.”
“It seems that Emmett Tang has given them the order.”
Ferdinand Braton sneered.
Just as he mentioned that he might have to hide somewhere, the assassins on his side accelerated their actions. They were originally sneaking in slowly, but now they no longer cared about being stealthy.
They attacked directly.
“Hmph, Emmett Tang, you brought this upon yourself. Don’t blame me,” Ferdinand Braton clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.
This time, he paid a huge price, recruiting assassins and contacting influential figures in the underworld. All those people had gathered to confront the Tang family, while the Braton family still had their public forces intact.
But once fifteen minutes passed, the Braton family’s public forces would turn against the Tang family.
They would madly attack the Tang family.
Using the full power of the entire clan. Only in this way would there be hope.
At this moment, the public battle was still ongoing, fierce and intense. The three major families, along with their affiliated forces, had turned into a chaotic mess. The entire Bianhai City was in turmoil.
Meanwhile, at the Beckett family villa, there were bodyguards stationed everywhere, with tight security. In the center of it all, Henry Beckett was present, surrounded by people who were watching him. As the head of the family, they were waiting for his orders.
Including Mimi Beckett.
Henry Beckett didn’t hide Mimi Beckett elsewhere because it wouldn’t be safe. The safest place was by his side.
“Family head, our stock market is being heavily suppressed by these two major conglomerates. It’s plummeting rapidly and is about to drop below 200 points.”
“Family head, there are people attacking from outside. They are from the Tang family.”
“Family head, the forces we relied on have been turned, both the Tang family and the Braton family have turned them against us. They are all besieging us.”
The people below continuously reported to Henry Beckett.
The people in this room were mostly Henry Beckett’s trusted confidants, essentially his family, but at this moment, they were all in a panic because although the Beckett family was powerful, the other two clans were not small either.
With the two clans joining forces and using the full power of their entire families, the Beckett family couldn’t hold on.
The situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.
Henry Beckett, with a furrowed brow, looked at the data, but he remained calm. After all, as the head of the family, if he panicked, what would the people below do? The pressure was indeed immense.
“Dad.”
Mimi Beckett looked at Henry Beckett’s troubled expression, her heart aching. To be honest, this situation was caused by him. He brought Patrick Bailey here, which led to the alliance between the two clans and the attack on their Beckett family.
They simply couldn’t withstand it.
If things continued like this, the Beckett family would truly be destroyed.
And the other party proposed a condition: hand over Patrick Bailey, and they would abandon the attack on the Beckett family, restoring the original balance with the three families standing. As for Elijah Wilson, he didn’t belong to Bianhai City; he was only sent there.
However, Mimi Beckett loved Patrick Bailey. She wanted to spend her life with him. But in the current situation, the Beckett family was on the verge of destruction, and her father would die. This dealt a heavy blow to her heart.
She didn’t know how to make a decision.
What should she do?
Hand over Patrick Bailey?
Or let the Beckett family perish and let her father, Henry Beckett, die?
“Family head, it’s not good. Assassins have already infiltrated our villa, led by two of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Tang family. From the looks of it, they are determined to destroy the Beckett family.”
One of the subordinates urgently reported, the situation was critical.
At that moment, Mimi Beckett’s face turned pale. She made a decision and walked up to Henry Beckett’s side, speaking with great difficulty, “Dad, we… we should hand him over…”
She compromised.
Her tone carried various complexities and desperation.
She couldn’t let her father die.
However, before she could finish her sentence, another person arrived and reported, “Family head, there’s been a change. The Braton family suddenly changed direction and launched an attack on the Tang family. There are countless assassins and underworld figures appearing near the Tang family. They are all heading towards the Tang family. We, the Tang family, are being saved.”
As soon as these words were spoken, although they didn’t know why, everyone’s expressions eased a little.
They were saved.
But at that moment, Henry Beckett’s face turned pale, and his pupils contracted. “Send out the order. Everyone, rush to the Tang family and stop the Braton family at all costs.”
Yes.
At all costs.
At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded. The Tang family had just targeted them, and now the situation was caused by the Tang family, but they were being ordered to protect the Tang family?
Shouldn’t they rest?
Or take advantage of the situation?
No one understood this order, including Mimi Beckett. But at that moment, Henry Beckett’s expression suddenly turned ferocious. “I said, everyone go and protect the Tang family.”
At that moment, the authority of the family head reached its peak, making everyone tremble.
“Yes.”
Instantly, a wave of strength surged outward.
In the end, only Mimi Beckett was left. She walked towards Henry Beckett, trembling, and asked, “Dad, why…”
“There are things you shouldn’t know, so you don’t need to know.”
Henry Beckett coldly finished these words and left, leaving this place.
“Dad.”
Mimi Beckett looked at Henry Beckett’s departing figure, cold and merciless, as if he was no longer the loving father she knew.
After Henry Beckett left, he entered a secret room, found a new phone and a new SIM card, and made a call. “Something happened. The Braton family is attacking the Tang family with their full strength, as if they’ve discovered something. I’ve already sent my people there. What should we do now?”
“Wait for further orders.”
Stuart Holt’s voice came through the phone.
As Robin Bailey guessed, Stuart Holt was Henry Beckett’s superior, but he was someone Henry Beckett could only contact in the most critical moments. Stuart Holt, single-handedly, commanded both the Beckett family and the Tang family.
