Chapter 257


    Kingsley quietly sneered to himself as he nodded and sassed, “What you said makes sense. Let’s do it


    your way.”After he finished speaking, he grabbed Alice by the hand and spoke to her in a gentle voice.


    “Don’t be afraid, Alice. Just head into your room and rest if I am not back after the banquet.”“Alright, I


    got it.” She quickly bobbed her head up and down. “I’ll go back to my room.”He could hear the


    emphasis she put on the word ‘room’.Afterwards, the two of them exchanged nces before Kingsley


    walked out of the hotel.At the same time in a gazebo on the side of Mount Crowler, Zayne was sitting


    on a bench, his legs shaking from his anxiety.Seated across from him were Wendell and four burly


    men, who frequently participated in illegal boxing matches.“Mr. Martin, are you sure you have knocked


    out Old Man n?” Zayne sucked in a deep breath. “Our n will fall through if he suddenly appears at


    the banquet!”Wendell let out a chuckle. “Don’t worry,” he reassured Zayne. “I have five of my men


    keeping an eye on him in the room. Even if he wakes up, he won’t be able to leave!”“That’s good,


    then.” Zayne nced over at the dark forest and rubbed his hands together. “F*ck! This damn forest in


    the middle of nowhere is the perfect ce for murdering someone and disposing of their corpse. I will


    make sure I teach Nicholson a lesson tonight!”The darkness of the night hid the sneer on Wendell’s


    face well when he, as though implying something, asked, “Dr. Church, where do you think is better for


    dumping the body? Should we dig a hole and bury it, or just throw it into the forest?”“Bury? That is


    going too easy on him, no? I want him to wish he was dead!” A cruel glint shed across Zayne’s eyes.


    “I will personally cut his tongue and limbs after you and your men capture him. I will make him into a


    human swine and leave him in the woods!”As he said that, he nced at the four burly men behind


    Wendell and continued doubtfully, “Mr. Martin, aren’t there supposed to be 10 of you here?”However,


    he didn’t wait for Wendell’s reply before he answered his own question. “Oh right, you left 5 of them to


    guard n at the hotel.”“What’s the matter?” Wendell raised an eyebrow at him. “You worried that we


    can’t catch Kingsley?”“I am indeed a little worried. Aren’t you also quite afraid of him?” As Zayne


    recalled the time Kingsley dealt with Louie in the hospital, he muttered worriedly, “After all, even Boss


    respects him. I am worried that we can’t win against him with too few men.”“Why did youe to us,Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    then?” Wendell scoffed. “Also, were you nning on only letting us know that the one you are trying to


    screw over is Kingsley Nicholson by the time he shows up if I hadn’t kept asking about it?”Zayne


    suddenly looked embarrassed then. “I had no choice. You are the only one I know among all the


    underworld bosses in Cleapolis… As for the reason I didn’t tell you in advance that he is the one I am


    targeting, it is because I was worried that you wouldn’t dare take on this task. I had to make sure it was


    done before you realized it…”“Are you not worried we will stab you in the back?” Wendell


    unrestrainedly parted his legs and leaned forward slightly. He then hissed, “Are you trying to put your


    life on the line?”Zayne’s eyes suddenly looked like that of a madman. “I already know that today is the


    big day—it is either he or I that will die!”Zayne swiftly took out a stack of money from his pocket and


    boasted with a smile. “Besides, with this promised to you, I am sure you wouldn’t reject my


    request!”The sinister expression on his face showed just how confident he was.He firmly believed that


    no one would fight against money.“Furthermore, it doesn’t matter if you are going to betray me. After


    Kingley is here, it is already an established fact that you are nning to murder someone. We are on


    the same boat here. None of us is getting out of this unharmed!”Zayne also leaned his torso slightly


    forward and lowered his voice as he persuaded Wendell. “Mr. Martin, no matter how powerful that punk


    is, he is only human! Not only will no one know if you were to kill him here, and you will also get a huge


    reward! Why not do it?”He had figured out that greed, having faith in luck, and cruelty were but


    weaknesses that existed in human nature.That was why Zayne was sure that Wendell, even though


    afraid of Kingsley, would definitely kill the man under his threats and promises.Hearing Zayne’s words,


    Wendell narrowed his eyes and growled coldly, “F*ck! The reason you didn’t tell me that it is Kingsley


    you are after is because you’ve been nning all along to threaten me after I do the deed, huh?!”“Ha!


    Don’t put it that way, Mr. Martin!” Zayne cheered with a grin, “It is a win-win situation!”Right as they


    were conversing, a rustling noise suddenly came from the mountain path.“He’s here!”Zayne abruptly


    stood up and at the top of his lungs, he called out, “Kingsley Nicholson?”
