Chapter 293 Cannot Withstand A Single Blow (Part Three)


    Brian shot a nce at the smoldering wreckage and sneered. They passed by Howard and his men


    who could do nothing but watch their men burn. Tony deliberately slowed down, allowing Howard to


    clearly see everyone inside Brian''s car.


    Outraged, Howard glowered at them in fury. The raging mes lit up the bridge and the light illuminated


    the tiny space inside Brian''s car. He saw an unexpected man sitting next to Brian, who was craning his


    neck to watch the ze under the bridge. He was so taken aback that he blurted out,"Mr. Yan?"


    His surprised voice attracted the attention of the people next to him. They all looked at the car that had


    already passed by and then at Howard. Someone asked him in shock and doubt,"Is Mr. Yan with him?"


    Howard didn''t answer him. He was racking his brains, trying to make sense of what he had seen. The


    man sitting next to Brian was indeed Mr. Yan. But why? Why would Mr. Yan be with Mr. Brian Long?


    "Howard, none of them have survived," the person who had gone down to the bridge to scout, came up


    and reported. Gravely, he looked down, his shoulders slumped. None of them had ever expected to


    lose two of their most elite men that night so easily.


    It took Howard a while to take in everything that had happened so far. His eyes glinted with sadness,


    but in a few minutes, the sadness disappeared. It was a subordinate''s duty to obey the orders of his


    superior, absolutely and unconditionally, no matter the cost, especially since they served in the special


    unit. He ordered,"Call in the local forces to assist with the cleanup."


    "Roger that!"


    Howard turned back onest time to take a final nce at the zing car. He thought he was going to


    lose his cool, but he remained silent. He finally took control of his emotions, his hands firmly clenching


    into fists. He had made a mistake that night. He had underestimated this Mr. Brian Long. The man had


    lived up to his reputation. He knew exactly when and how he would be ambushed that night.


    And he had deliberately led them to the elevated freeway and to the airport. He chose the ce


    because there were fewer people here, much lesser at night. But what he still couldn''t understand was,


    why was Mr. Yan in Brian''s car? If the Mr. Yan he had seen in the car was just an illusion, that would be


    great. But if it was really him, then it would mean that Mr. Yan had called for the mission, and also got


    into Brian''s car knowing that death was awaiting him on the other end. His intentions were very


    complicated.


    Howard was puzzled by the whole nature of his mission. But the atmosphere in the VIP room of the


    Golden Bay Club in A City was much more suffocating.


    Edgar looked Mr. Shen in the eye, and asked,"Mr. Shen, are you saying that Molly is the key factor


    here? And whoever controls her will control everything?"


    Mr. Shen, who was wearing his usual silver mask, slowly inhaled his cigar and puffed out the smoke.


    He said,"Mr. Gu, I never said that. What kind of effect the girl has on the situation would depend on the


    circumstance."


    Edgar remained silent for a while. He gazed at Mr. Shen for another whole minute before he


    continued,"What you are saying, Mr. Shen, is that the one who has control over A city is now Mr. Brian


    Long. But Molly is the one who sways his feelings. Am I right?"


    It might have seemed like a question, but his tone was certain. Mr. Shen had spent decades in the


    underworld, and had always managed to keep a subtle bnce between both the government and the


    street. Now that he had given Edgar an answer, his opinion about the whole situation was quite clear.


    But after hearing Edgar''s question, Mr. Shen burst intoughter. The smile faded from his face instantly


    as he stared into Edgar''s eyes and said,"Mr. Gu, I''m afraid that you have got it wrong." Edgar looked at


    him, confused. Mr. Shen continued,"Nothing about Mr. Brian Long is certain. He is an unpredictable


    man. Even his own parents don''t know what goes on in his mind."This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Edgar was surprised by Mr. Shen''s reply. He was so amazed that the man had seen through him again.


    Getting himself together again, he said,"You sound very familiar with Mr. Brian Long''s parents."


    "Well, you have always wondered why I tolerate him. Now you know the reason," quipped Mr. Shen,


    whose voice was a little ironical as he gave Edgar an indirect answer. All this time, Edgar had been


    inquisitive about Mr. Shen''s rtionship with Brian. He decided to satisfy his curiosity once and for all.


    Edgar managed to keep a smile on his face as he cursed the man inwardly, ''What a cunning old fox.''


    Mr. Shen knew what Edgar was thinking, but he didn''t care. Today''s meeting was for Brian''s sake. He


    knew what Brian had dely only meant to learn about Molly''s origin, but overshadowed by fear,


    many who had guilty conscience took it as a wrong move from Brian''s side, and decided to hunt him


    down. Brian was a man of principle. If those people hadn''t tried to mess with him, he''d have gotten


    bored and let go. But since they had offended him, he would definitely make them regret all their life


    choices so far.


    This was also part of the reason why he had kept a good rtionship with Brian. Of course, he was


    nice to Brian for Shirley''s sake, but he knew in his heart that if he messed with Brian, the Sacred


    Domain would be doomed.
