Chapter 103: Giulio's Anger

"Useless scum, a dog that only bites for Nicholas, has seized the opportunity to ingratiate himself with Laura."

Giulio kept cursing while Anna looked oddly pale. Lately, she had developed a fear of Henry. After the hitman failed to kill him and having a dead body sent to her bedroom as his retaliation, she was hesitant to target Henry again.

After a considerable amount of effort for these two parents to find their daughter; they eventually approached the communication technology company to pull up their daughter's contact list.

Seeing the first contact that appeared on the list named "My Darling,"; Giulio cursed again and made the call.

As soon as it connected, he lashed out: "Henry, is my daughter with you? You have the gall to answer? Send her back immediately, or I you will regret it!"

Henry recognized Giulio's voice, a hint of surprise in his own, but he laughed and said, "I saved Laura, what's wrong with taking her away?"

Giulio paused for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Henry, I thought you were a bit smart, but I see now you're utterly foolish! Your words might fool my daughter, but do you really think that you can deceive me?! Harold, Beckett - aren't they big shots in Freton City? Even with Nicholas's backing, you probably don't have the standing to meet them face-to-face. Don't tell me you were the one who mobilized an army to rescue Laura?"

Henry calmly said, "Indeed, that's exactly what I did."

"Henry!" Giulio couldn't hold back anymore, his rage boiling over, "I'm not in the mood for your nonsense. You have half an hour to bring Laura back to us, failing this, I'll be there with my men to fetch her, and you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

"Fine, I'll be waiting," Henry replied indifferently, hanging up the phone directly.

A visibly ice-cold expression adorned Giulio's face as he sat listening to the dial tone on the other end. It was a while before he muttered to himself, "These young people seem to have forgotten that I don't blink an eye when I kill!"

At this stage, his hatred and fury towards Henry could no longer be contained.

His desire for Henry to see that the Costa family had earned their status and position with their hands drenched in blood and by stepping over heaps of bones! Not in least concerned that it could affect the plan against Nicholas.

Even Anna didn't know that Giulio had been raising a group of devoted followers, each one trained from a young age to be fiercely loyal to the Costa family. Over the past two decades, they had undergone countless hellish training sessions. In terms of skill and capability, even the elite Tiger Gang might not be able to hold them off.

This was Giulios greatest confidence.

"It's time for them to come back from the Triangle area." A chaotic region that lies at the border junction of three countries.

Giulio sneered, his plan to deal with Henry taking shape in his mind.

There, with abundant resources including oil fields and even precious minerals, the three neighboring small nations have waged war over it for decades, turning it into rivers of blood.

In addition, there are warlords who dream of claiming the Triangle as an independent territory and underground organizations planted by the world's top powers seeking to gain advantages... all perpetually striving for control of the Triangle.

At times, thousands of people loose their lives there in a single day.

As such, countless assassins and mercenaries flocked to the Triangle, but only the very best survived.

Five years ago, Giulio sent his devoted followers there. Now, not only have they established themselves firmly in the Triangle, but they have also built a formidable reputation. One could only imagine how fearsome their abilities might be.

They were Giulio's trump card for in his plan to gain more advantages in the collective action of the four great families against the likes of Beckett and Nicholas.

But before that can happen...

"When they return, they will kill Henry first, to shed some blood and prevent them from finding Freton City too dull after being accustomed to the Triangle. Warm them up a bit." Giulio said with a cruel smile.

Just at that moment, another call came in. After answering, he frowned and rushed off in his car.

Jasper's mind weighed heavy with concerns.

Enrico had arrived earlier, and indeed, he was one of the main drivers behind this endeavor.

"We can't wait any longer. An eighty percent chance of victory is far better than less than a fifty percent success rate once the Costa family falls under Beckett's influence," urged Enrico. "If Freton City's forces won't make a move, we'll disregard them. With our two legions prepared and them caught off guard, Beckett will struggle to retaliate."

"Beckett has sensed something. His ostentatious move to save Laura is clear evidence he wants to bring Giulio to his side."

Listening to all this, Jasper's thoughts grew even more tangled, and he voiced his frustration: "There's no absolute certainty! Compared to Harold, the other two Generals are far inferior."

"Don't forget, judging by Harold's attitude towards Giulio, if Giulio sides with Beckett, Freton City's forces might also lean that way!" Enrico's eyes flashed coldly. "And if Nicholas joins them, our three great families won't stand a chance!"

Jasper took a sharp breath, finally realizing that the magnitude of the situation. He could no longer afford to play it safe.

"Alright, once Giulio and Lennox arrive, we'll settle this matter today!"

They didn't have to wait long; Giulio and Lennox arrived sooner than expected. With all four seated and after a moment of silence, Lennox, with a smirk that didn't quite reach his eyes, spoke first.

"Gathering us all here - do you have something in mind? I thought the three of you were too caught up in your success to remember the White family."
