Chapter 323


    "Someone tried to assassinate you, didn''t they?" Kingsley cut to the chase. "I''m here to talk about


    that."


    Xanxus’ face fell. "It was you?" However, he shook his head right away, then said in puzzlement,


    "Impossible. The assassin was a woman, and my men are on their way to take her out."


    Kingsley looked shocked and horrified. "Take her out? What is that supposed to mean?" Nothing in


    the world could faze him, unless his sisters were involved. He could never stay calm when it came


    to them.


    Kingsley shot up from his chair. "What do you mean? Are you hunting her down?"


    "She tried to kill me, so of course I’m getting back at her." Xanxus looked at the time and sneered.


    "If I''m right, that b*tch is probably a dead body now."


    Fury erupted from Kingsley like roiling magma. "You could have had a painless death." He clenched


    his fist, turning Rhys'' photo into dust. "But I''ve changed my mind. I''ll make your death the worst


    nightmare you can ever imagine." He whipped his phone out and called General Ignatov. "Move out!


    Now!"


    Kingsley''s fury pleased Xanxus, and he sneered. "Oh, so you have your own team too? But it''s


    useless. They''re all just gonna die for nothing."


    "That''s right! Our men are armed! Now grovel and we might just spare you!" Frederick spat on the


    ground and put his hands in his pockets. "And it''s toote for that b*tch now. Our men went for her


    half an hour ago."


    Thirty minutes earlier.


    Xanxus'' men told him that they found where Serena was hiding. He promptly sent two dozen


    marksmen —who were armed with illegal firearms—to the vige, while he,


    Frederick, and a few otherckeys came to the hotel.


    Xanxus was confident Serena wouldn''t get away this time. She managed to attack him and escape


    last time because defenses werex. He had no fighters around him, but this time, two dozen


    marksmen were heading her way. There''s no way she can escape, not even if she''s a god.


    Serena and Paige had no idea about that. The vige was on the border between Diosna and


    Cleapolis. They would never expect Xanxus'' men to reach this far, but they still did.


    Thedies woke up early in the morning and took a shower. They wanted to take a look at the


    casino around afternoon and see if they could head inside and kill Xanxus just like Kingsley


    promised.

    Serena was still worried. "I have a bad feeling about this, Paige. This is Xanxus we’re talking about.


    Will Kingsley be fine?"


    "You and your paranoia." She smiled cheekily. "Your brother is a sly old fox.


    This is child''s y for him. He’ll be fine."


    Serena nodded, but she was still frowning. "Maybe you''re right. Maybe I am being paranoid." Just


    then, she heard something rustle in the yard, and her face fell. "Someone''s out there."


    Paige got serious too. She took out her Serpent Whip and tossed her car key to Serena. "Serena,


    my car''s in the eleven o''clock direction behind this house. Get out from the back, now!"


    Serena whipped out a dagger from her boots and squinted, her eyes glinting. "This is my mission. I


    can''t let you risk yourself."


    "I''m one of the Tanners, remember?" Paige tensed up. "They won''t do anything to me."


    Something rustled in the yard again as they spoke, and this time, the enemy was closer. Serena


    leaned against the wall and nced outside. There were about two dozen armed men in the yard,


    and they were slowly edging toward the front door.
