Chapter 40
The next moment, several men in black rushed forward, knocked down Evelyn and the others, and started punching and kicking them!
After a while, Scott waved his hand, "Stop for now!"
Josh walked over and said coldly, "You bastard, how dare you deceive us, the Crawford family, and take over our hotel!"
"No! How would I dare do such a thing?"
"You must be mistaken!"
Frank looked completely confused.
"Still trying to argue?"
"If you weren't pretending to be the Mercenary King's people, why would you be here?"
Josh grabbed Frank by the collar and asked fiercely.
"Pretending to be the Mercenary King?" Evelyn's eyes widened.
"No!"
Roman quickly denied it, "How would we dare pretend to be the Mercenary King?"
"You must be mistaken!"
"We came to give gifts to that super-rich person. As for how we got in, we just walked in."
Frank's explanation sounded weak.
Them just walking in really didn't make sense.
"Nonsense, I'll teach you to be stubborn. Keep beating them!"
Josh waved his hand.
Several men in black rushed over again.
Screams suddenly rang out.
The others were okay, just getting bruised and swollen, but Frank was older and felt like he was falling apart.
"Mr. Crawford, we really just came to deliver gifts!"
"Look, those are our gifts!"
Evelyn cried out.
Ethan hugged Josh's leg, "We're from the Spencer family. We're just a small family. There's no way we'd dare do something like this."
"Don't try to fool me!"
Josh didn't believe them at all.
But then Scott waved his hand, "Stop!"
"Dad?"
"Josh, I don't think they're lying. The Spencer family is just a small family. How would they dare deceive us?"
"Besides, I heard they won a project from Isabelle Group!"
"We should show some respect to Isabelle Group."
Scott looked serious.
"Then what do we do with them?"
"Throw them out!"
The next moment.
Frank and the others were all thrown out, looking miserable.
Evelyn's eyes were full of tears, "Grandpa, how did it turn out like this?"
"How should I know?"
"Let's get out of here!"
"What an embarrassment!"
Frank couldn't stay another second.
They all hurriedly drove away.
Azure Palace Hotel.
Josh frowned, "If it wasn't them pretending to be the Mercenary King, then who was it?"
Scott said, "Kane! He's the one who benefits most from this!"
"That criminal? I'll send people to arrest him right now!"
Josh was furious.
Just as he was about to give the order, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Who dares cause trouble at the Mercenary King's wedding?"
The next moment, countless fully armed mercenaries flooded in like a tide.
Leading them were Kane and Bayonet!
"Stop putting on an act. You're the Mercenary King's men?"
"I think you're just actors Kane hired!"
Josh sneered.
"How dare you insult the Mercenary King!"
Without a word, Bayonet pulled the trigger and shot Josh in the thigh.
The bullet instantly pierced through Josh's leg, blood gushing out.
Josh let out a scream. Looking at his wounded leg, he said, "This isn't acting!"
"Who are you people really?"
Scott shouted.
Bayonet said, "Didn't I tell you? This is the Mercenary King!"
"What?"
Scott looked at Kane in disbelief.
He never imagined that Kane had become the Mercenary King!
Kane sneered, "Hard to believe, isn't it? I'd find it hard to believe too—that the boy you sent to maximum security prison has become the Mercenary King!"
"But that's the truth!"
"Back then, you three families joined with Ophelia and killed all my relatives. I'll make you all pay!"
Kane's voice was ice-cold.
Scott's legs went weak and he fell to his knees, "Kane, no, Mr. Lockwood, we were wrong. Please forgive us."
"Oh right, Mr. Lockwood, didn't you say that within one month, if we went to the grave to repent, you'd let us go?"
Ophelia had already contacted them about the repentance.
Everyone had dismissed it and not taken it seriously. They never expected Kane to be the Mercenary King!
Now what they had dismissed had become their lifeline!
"Are you sincere?" Kane's eyes narrowed.
"Of course we're sincere!"
"Not only am I sincere, I'll also notify my father and have him bring the entire family to repent at the grave!"
Scott said hastily.
"Then I'll give you a chance!"
Kane said in a deep voice, "Take your people and get out through the back door right now. I don't want you dirtying my wedding carpet!"
He hadn't gone soft—he just didn't want their filthy blood staining the wedding carpet!
Anyway.
In front of Kane, they were just ants he could easily crush!
"We'll leave right away!"
Scott hurriedly left with his people in a panic.
"Bayonet, go invite Isabelle and the others up!" Kane's eyes softened.
"Yes, sir!"
Bayonet and the others immediately turned and left.
Outside Azure Palace Hotel.
People outside didn't know what had happened inside. They crowded around in layers, all wanting to see who this super-rich person was!
What kind of beauty could make a super-rich person spend so lavishly!
"Why aren't they back yet?"
Isabelle frowned.
"Maybe we should just go home. Kane might have already run away!"
Natalie's eyes darted around.
Isabelle, if you can't even pass this test, you don't deserve to be Kane's wife!
Then she wouldn't hold back!
"Mom, I'm so sleepy. Did daddy go home to sleep?" Winnie rubbed her eyes, looking tired.
Isabelle lovingly stroked Winnie's hair, "Winnie, wait a little longer. Your dad is a man of his word. He'll definitely come back."
"Ms. Spencer, please come with us!"
Just then, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out.
Under everyone's gaze, they came before Isabelle and shouted in unison.
They were battle-hardened mercenaries, and their words sounded like they were taking someone to the execution block, startling Isabelle.
Had Kane offended someone he shouldn't have?
"Where's Kane?"
"Have you seen my husband?"
Isabelle asked worriedly.
"He's waiting for you inside."
"I'll go with you!"
Isabelle held Winnie with determined eyes and walked over.
We're husband and wife—if we die, we die together!
"I hope you'll bury my husband and me together. But could you please spare my daughter?" Isabelle said.
Bayonet fell silent.
"You've misunderstood. We're following Kane's orders to invite you to the wedding."
"The wedding? Kane didn't offend some big shot?"
Isabelle couldn't believe it.
Winnie said, "Mom, this man is daddy's driver! I've seen him before!"
"What? Kane's driver?"
Isabelle's eyes widened in surprise again.
