Chapter 22: Come Take It Tomorrow

"What has Henry achieved in these seven years? Where did he get so many soldiers to help him?" Fabio asked his father Simone with a resentful face in the old mansion of the Miller family.

"He couldn't possibly be a real general, at most just a captain. Maybe, he knows a few military colleagues who helped him find hundreds of soldiers? It's quite unusual," Simone said as he sat in his armchair and slammed his hand on the table next to him.

"If it wasn't for the fact that the Tiger Gang only sent so few soldiers, Henry's soldiers wouldn't have scared them at all," Simone continued.

"Many families in Freton can leverage some military connections. It's nothing special for Henry to do the same."

"He's too arrogant and even killed the Tiger Gang's Captain. Now he has completely involved our Miller family."

Fabio felt a bit scared. "Dad, what should we do? The Miller family can't take on the anger of the Tiger Gang."

"Don't worry, I have a plan," Simone said calmly. "Henry is too naive. He has no idea that I have another ace up my sleeve. Henry will never win against Tiger Gang."

"Fabio, you're old enough now. There are some things I can tell you. Back when the Miller family was growing, your second uncle played a significant role. Your stubborn grandfather wanted your second uncle to inherit the Miller family estate. If it weren't for my clever schemes, perhaps your second uncle would be in charge right now."

Fabio was shocked. "Dad, are you saying that you had something to do with the deaths of my second uncle and aunt?"

"Calm down and stop overreacting!" Simone scolded; a bit displeased. "High society is a dog-eat-dog world. If it's not someone harming you, it's you harming someone else. If you can't understand this, how can you take control of the Miller family in the future?"

Fabio was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "The deaths of second uncle and aunt have nothing to do with the current situation. Dad, what exactly is this 'ace' you're talking about?"

Simone lightly tapped on his chair and calmly replied, "After your second uncle's death, your third uncle Carlo was incapable of taking his place. I thought the Miller family would surely be ours, but Henry, that little beast, somehow got lucky and hooked up with Miss Costa from the Costa family. If they get married, the Miller family won't be able to resist the Costa family's pressure, and we will lose the chance to manage the main branch."

"Unfortunately, there are too many people interested in Miss Costa and Henry is not qualified. Countless people want to take him down. Among them is the young master from the White family. I joined forces with him, and I used drugs on one of Henry's most trusted friends, sacrificing a woman from his subsidiary branch. We set up a trap and sent Henry straight into the abyss."

"Therefore, the young master from the White family owes me a favor now. If I cash in on this favor, it will help us safeguard the Miller family."

Upon hearing this, Fabio couldn't help but give a thumbs-up. "Dad, you're truly incredible! With the White family's support, the Tiger Gang will also have to think twice. If things don't go well, we can sacrifice a few more distant relatives from the Miller family, or even our third uncle Carlo. Let the Tiger Gang take care of them. That will relieve our struggles within the Miller family."

"Hahaha, Fabio, you have finally learned something from me," Simone laughed happily.

At this moment, a servant rushed in "Oh no, someone has broken into the compound!", looking panicked and stumbling over his words.

Simone and Fabio quickly stood up.

"What's going on? Didn't we just hire thirty retired veterans yesterday? I even provided them with guns. How could someone still break in?!" Simone couldn't believe it.

After the incident with Henry and the visit from the Tiger Gang, he felt that the previous defense personnel of the Miller family were amateurs. So, he gathered dozens of veterans who had been to the battlefield and had killed people.

All of these veterans were strong; they were skilled enough to fight ten foes alone, and each of them came from the special forces. They even had guns!

"Go and see for yourself." The servant's body trembled as he spoke, clearly frightened.

Simone, feeling anxious, hurriedly rushed toward the front yard.

From around the corner, he heard faint groans of pain. When he turned the corner, he saw several veterans clutching their wrists and bleeding profusely as they writhed on the ground.

Not far away, a person in black clothing and a mask strolled towards them.

"Open fire!" Seeing dozens of security guards being suppressed by a single person's aura, some of whom still held handguns, Simone stumbled in anger. "Just shoot, I'll take full responsibility for any casualties!"

Encouraged by their employer, a few veterans with guns gritted their teeth, about to pull the trigger.

With a wave of the black-clothed person's hand, several cold lights flashed by, and the veterans couldn't react in time. Their guns fell to the ground as they clutched their wrists, blood gushing out, collapsing to the floor.

Finally, Simone understood how those previous veterans had fallen.

What were those cold lights? No one could see clearly, but they all knew it was faster and more terrifying than a gun!

"I am Simone. Why have you intruded into the Miller family estate? If you want money, I'll have someone prepare it immediately. I will personally offer you five million dollars!" Simone suppressed his fear and reluctantly spoke.

Even battle-hardened special forces veterans were not a match for their opponent. The Miller family was utterly defenseless! They could only use money to resolve the issue.

"You're Simone?" The black-clothed person asked in a raspy voice as they glanced at him.

"I...I am," Simone hesitated for a moment but admitted.

"Good. I know you are one of the key members of the Miller family. I came here today not to engage in violence but to deliver a message," the black-clothed person said.

Simone was delighted, "Oh, so you're a guest! Please come in."

A strange smile appeared in the black-clothed person's eyes at his words. "Listen to what I have to say first, then decide if I'm a guest or not."

"Are the Miller family's, Fabio and Sofia, in the old mansion? Tomorrow at this time, ask them to cut off their left arms and left legs, all the way from the root."

"After cleaning the limbs, put it in the dish, I will come to pick it up."

"We are all in the business, let's not make things too difficult for us, after all, we don't want violence. It's best to resolve this peacefully."

After hearing the words of the man in black, Simone's face turned pale, and he sat down on the ground, "You... Evil Shadow?!"

They are the most terrifying assassin organization, and they have never failed an assassination in Freton's provincial capital or even in the nearby provinces.

Their MO is to find the target first, notify them, cut off their limbs, clean them up, and then come to collect them the next day.

If they don't comply, they will torture the target, including their loved ones, with the cruelest methods!

Someone hired Evil Shadow to deal with the Miller family's direct descendants...

Looking at Simone sitting on the ground, the man in black smiled sinisterly, "Remember, if someone doesn't comply, it won't be just a loss of limbs."

"Oh right, I need to inform the other members of the Miller family as well. Such trouble, why don't you live together?"

The man in black turned around, muttering to himself, "What were their names again?"

"Henry? Sofia? Carlo?"
