Hector and Lambert had been on the battlefield before, and they were chiliarchs, in charge of thousands of soldiers. They had a fierce aura and were extremely domineering Their cold words were filled with killing intent, causing the Labenz family in the conference room to feel a chill sweep over them. The Labnez felt as if they had fallen into an jrehouse and were trembling âItâs all that damn Haylan Jaberâs fault. He screwed us over.â
âMs. Labenz, where did Haylan Jaber go? Call him out immediately!â
âWe canât let a black sheep drag the entire family downâ
Those on Philipâs ude all had gloomy expressions. They looked at Reign and requested her to hand over Haylan. They wanted to push Haylan out for him to bear all the consequences.
Reign glanced at Philip and the others. With a calm expression, she said indifferently, âEveryone, have you forgotten the Labenz family motto?â
âAs long as someone is part of the Labenz family, and he is not at fault, the Labenz family must protect him âThis is a house rule!â
When Philip heard that, he immediately caught a weak point in Reignâs words and refuted, âReign, do you think that Haylan is right in beating up Larry Muller? Are you going to sacrifice all of us for a mere outsider?â
âAs the CEO, you actually donât care about the familyâs interests at all. How can we trust you with the company?â
âI think you canât judge right from wrong and donât understand the severity of this matter. You are not suitable to be the CEO He was vice president and had always coveted the CEO position. He had always wanted to pull Reign down from that position. When he saw an opportunity, he did not hesitate to fire at her âPhilip. I have my own way of doing things. It is not for you to judge and contest.â
Reign glanced at Philip. Then, she turned around, stared at Tristan, and said coldly. âMr. Muller, I have yet to take action against you, and here you are bending the truth. Well, we shall settle the score todayâ
âReign, what do you mean?â Hectorâs eyes turned cold.
Reign did not say anything. Instead, she turned to face Landon Landon immediately switched on his computer and played a video, In the video, Larry and Ron, amongst others, surrounded Haylan Larryâs eyes were filled with confidence. As he drank and ate, he said coldly, âHaha, then Iâll get someone to beat you until youâre half dead before getting them to chop off your hand. Now, make your choice. Do you want to do it yourself, or do you want us to help you?â
A shiny knife was placed at Haylanâs feet.
Then, the story developed, followed by Larryâs roar. âAll of you, listen up. Kill him!â
Finally, there was a video of Haylan beating up Larry.
When they saw Haylan slash a bloody wound on Larryâs chest, the expressions of everyone in the Muller family became even more volemn and cold That was especially true for May. When she saw her son being beaten up again, she was so agitated that her eyes turned red on the spot. She roared angrily. âReign, you bitch, what do you mean by showing us this? I donât care what you say. Hand over that bastard Haylan Jaber immediately!â
Reign continued to ignore May. Instead, she looked at Tristan and said slowly. âMr. Muller, you should have finished watching the video. This matter is not Haylanâs fault. Larry was the one who caused trouble first!â
âLarry wanted to kill Haylan, so Haylan was forced to resist. It was self-defense!â
âIn other words, Haylan is not at fault. At most, his defense was overboard!â
âLarry caused trouble first and was injured because he lost the fight. What right do you have to come to me, ask for Haylan, and want us to take the responsibility She paused for a moment, and her gaze became even colder as she said, âAll right. Since you are all here, let us make things clear. You have to bear the main responsibility for this matter!â
Philip and the higher-ups of the Labenz family were all stunned.
Is that how it works?
They had thought Reign might give in or find an excuse to escape the responsibility.
However, they never expected Reign to turn the tables and blame it on the Muller family.
That attitude was too unyielding!
Philip looked at Reign with a serious expression.
At that moment, he finally realized that Reign was not easy to deal with.
âMs. Labenz, are you saying that Haylan was right to injure Larry?â Lambert said coldly.
âMr. Katz, youâre changing the concept!â
Reignâs expression was calm. but her attitude was extremely unyielding. She said in a low voice.
âFrom this video, Haylan was surrounded by so many people, and Larry was clamoring to kill him. If it were you, what would you do?â
Lambertâs gaze was cold, but he did not answer.
Reign sneered and looked at Hector. âHector, you have been to the battlefield and are now a chiliarch, a small commander. Tell me, what will you do when someone leads dozens of people to kill you?â
Hector was silent.
Reign looked at May and the angry Mullers and said coldly. âEveryone, let me tell you something.
Larry Muller led more than 80 people to kill the chief of the security department of our corporation!â
âLarry Muller is so lawless and overbearing. If Haylan was not such a good fighter, do you think he would have survived?â
Larry Muller is so arrogant, domineering, and has done many bad deeds. I donât need to show you how many committed in the past, right?â
âPutting everything else aside, wasnât Larry Muller overboard with that girl?â
crimes heâs Even a discreet mention of that girl made all Mullers present raise their eyebrows, and their expressions were very unnatural.
âDo not mention that bitch to me. She seduced Larry. Her jumping off the building and committing suicide was deserving. What does it have to do with Larry?â May said coldly âIs that so? May, do you really want me to lay the evidence on the table?â Reignâs eyes turned cold.
âYou have evidence?â May was stunned.
âI never show up at battles unprepared,â Reign said.
Landon took out a flash drive and was about to plug it in.
Tristanâs expression darkened as he said, âDo not be in a hurry to dig up old scores. Letâs settle todayâs matter first. This time, Haylan injured Larry, and he has to pay the price!â
âMr. Muller, have you forgotten that Larry started the fight? He is the main culprit!â Reign said.
âHe harmed one of ours!â âTristanâs eyes were cold as he gritted his teeth.
âLarry was in the wrong first!â Reign said in a low voice.
âNo matter who was in the wrong first, Haylan beat up one of ours. That was a slap to the Muller familyâs face. He must pay the price!â
Tristanâs attitude was firm. He enunciated each word clearly, âI donât care if I am right or wrong, nor do I seek justice. I am here to take revenge!â
âSo, Reign, do not talk to me about those principles and morals.â
âEven if you use the evidence to send Larry to jail, I have to get back at you todayâ
âThere are only two choices in front of you now. One, hand over Haylan Jaber, and let us deal with him!â
âTwo, we will declare war against the Labenz family. We will not rest until one of us dies!â
His words were powerful, domineering, and unreasonable.
Reignâs expression changed.
She originally wanted to use the law and facts to persuade the Muller family to retreat. But Tristan was not playing along. He was just rude and unreasonable, making her not know what to say.
Hector sneered and did not say anything. Instead, he took out his phone and made a call.
âHand over Haylan Jaber!â
âHand over Havlan Jaberl After the call was made, a loul rear sounded at the entrance of the Mapleture Group The expressions of Reign, Philip, and the others changed. They immediately walked to the window of the conference room and looked down Theur pupils constricted vidently, and their expressions were extremely ugly There were no less than five hundred people who worked for the Muller family gathered downstairs Their slogans were mulom, and their voices were like thunder that rullest endlessly âThe Mullers are seriousâ
âThere are more than live hundred people. If a light really starts, the consequences will be unimaginable. Not to mention whether we can defeat them, even if we win, it will affect our companyâs share priceâ
âReign, stop protecting that bastard. Hurry up and hand over Haylan Jaber!â
Philip and the others all looked at Reign, their gaze anxious and pressing Reign clenched her lists with an ugly expression.
The army was at the foot of the city!
She did not expect Tristan and the others to really mobilize so many people, bringing live hundred to the scene.
Moreover, judging from the looks of Tristan, Hector, and the others, they were really ready to get physical the moment talking fails What should she do?
Reign gritted her teeth and felt helpless.
âReign, we wonât make things diflicult for the Labenz Lamily. You should hand over Haylan Jaber.â
Tristanâs gaze was cold as he said aggressively, âYou only have these two choices. I will give you one last minute to make a decision. If Haylan Jaber does not appear after one minute, do not blame me for being rude!â
Keign looked at him and gritted her teeth. Her expression became even uglier as a strong sense of grievance and unwillingness surged in her heart.
They were at her doorstep!
If they fought head-on, both families would suffer.
If she did not fight head-on and handed over Haylan Jaber, her capability and dominance in the Labenz family would be questioned.
No matter what she did, there was only a dead end in front of her!
There was no way she could reason with people who would rather settle things their way with brute force.
Just as Reign did not know how to choose, a cold voice sounded. âYou Mullers are so strange. Why do you always like to force people to make choices?â
As that voice sounded, Haylan walked in with a chilly gaze and said domineeringly, âI choose the third option. I will beat all of you up and throw you out!â
