Chapter 535: Chapter 535

Philip’s eyes fixated on the figure in front of him. He felt like he had seen a ghost.

It was Gregory!

The person in front of him was Gregory, whom he thought had died after getting six shots.

Philip wiped his eyes, couldn’t believe what he saw. Nevertheless, there was no denying that Gregory was standing before him.

So it was not an illusion!

Gregory was still alive.

Philip gritted his teeth and turned to Landon, glaring at him. “Didn’t you kill him, Landon? Do you want to go to jail?”

The assassin wearing a mask who had chased after Gregory was Landon, whom Philip had spent a lot of effort to bribe.

For Philip, Landon had always been a trump card. He believed that with Landon by his side, he could keep a tight grip on Reign Moreover, over the years, Landon had done many shady things for him.

Having a lot of evidence against Landon, Philip thought he could easily control him.

He wondered. “Has Landon betrayed me as well?”

A sneer formed on Landon’s face as he spoke. “Philip, are you out of your mind? Do you honestly believe I would turn against Reign?

“All those things I did for you were a sham. I purposely hired people to deceive you, and gain your trust, so Reign could gather detailed information against you.

‘I didn’t kill anyone, in fact.”

As he spoke, he pulled out a gun from his pocket, placing it carefully on the table. Then he ejected all the bullets, laying them beside the gun. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he crushed one of the bullets with his bare hand.

Bang!

The bullet exploded, and red liquid gushed out, dying the table red.

In a calm and measured tone, Landon continued, “These are what I call blood bullets, a special creation of mine. Once hit. the victim will be drenched in blood. If not examined closely, the body will look very convincing, making it hard to tell if the person is alive or dead.

“It’s used to fool you.

“The people whom I’ve shot are in fact still alive. The whole scenario was nothing more than a display. You have nothing on me.” Landon said confidently.

“You are doomed, Gregory.

“It’s your turn to perform now.”

With that, he looked at Gregory.

Understanding what happened, Gregory’s face contorted with anger. He gritted his teeth and glared at Philip with accusing eyes. “You bastard,” Gregory spat. “I worked so hard to make money for you, and this is how you repay me?

“If Mr. Katz hadn’t used a blood bullet, I would be dead by now.

“Today, I will unveil your crimes to everyone!” Gregory declared resolutely.

Had looks been lethal, Philip would have died a thousand times over from the venomous glare that Gregory shot in his direction.

Recollections of that fateful night sent shivers down Gregory’s spine, and fear still gripped his heart to this day.

At the outset, the bullets That Landon used were all real, which scared him quite a bit.

Later, when Gregory jumped off the cliff, Landon shot again. Of the six shots fired, three were blood bullets, while the others were made up of a tracking device and a high-tech bullet that expanded upon impact.

As Gregory plummeted into the water, the high-tech bullet expanded into a massive energy shield, cushioning his fall and keeping him afloat to prevent him from drowning.

Following the tracking device’s signal, Landon was able to locate Gregory and save him from the watery depths. Since then, Gregory had been recuperating in a secure haven and had yet to emerge into the open.

In addition to orchestrating the assassination attempt, Landon also enlisted the help of fake news reporters and local law enforcement to create inaccurate stories, all to build Philip’s trust.

After that, Gregory hated Philip so much that he told people everything that he had done for Philip all these years.

Gregory roughly described how Philip used the company’s financial loopholes to short the company, transfer the company’s money for their own use, open illegal loan sharks, illegally detained others, and many other shady things.

Philip’s face became gloomy when he heard Gregory’s words.

Ethan’s expression was not good either.

When they heard this, they finally understood something.

They were over!

They thought that they had already taken down Reign, but in fact, they were the ones defeated.

Hatred and anger flickered in their eyes as they thought of this, staring resolutely at Reign. Despite these fiery emotions, a creeping sense of terror and surprise also coursed through them.

Despite appearing to be a frail and vulnerable woman, Reign had indeed laid out a vast and elaborate trap, one that she had been crafting for years. Every move had been carefully calculated and executed with utmost precision.

Her patience was definitely above that of average people.

They were completely defeated by Reign in terms of abilities, schemes, and charisma. She fooled them around.

With a look of terror in his eyes, Ethan muttered under his breath. “Why is she so strong?” as he gazed at Reign in disbelief.

Albert and everyone at the scene fell silent when they heard Gregory’s words.

However, everyone looked at Philip with incomparably cold eyes.

Philip’s crimes were atrocious and had caused serious harm to the company’s interests.

“Let’s not forget one crucial detail here, Gregory interjected. “You had David poison Haylan, then sent Rayner to kill him so that the latter could never reveal your misdeeds. All evidence was to be disposed of permanently.”

Reign’s expression was calm as she said in a deep voice, “Uncle Philip, you went too far.”

“Lily, show him the last thing.”

Lily nodded, then opened the last video on the computer.

In the video, it was Rayner, who had been tortured by Xander.

He told the camera everything. The mastermind behind everything is Philip”

After that, Lily paused the video.

After the video ended, everybody in the venue fell into silence.

Silence!

One could hear a pin drop!

All the shareholders stared at Philip without saying a word. Their gazes almost applied a thousand cuts on him. Philip sat in his seat dejectedly. His face was ashen as he felt a deep sense of defeat.

He had lost!

It was a complete defeat!

In terms of strategy, physical force, and management skills, he was completely defeated. He was no match for Reign at all.

It turned out that he had been living in Reign’s trap all these years, and he was even smug about it.

It was simply terrible and extremely stupid!

Philip was desperate, feeling that everything in front of him was dark.

“Philip Labenz!”

Albert slammed the table furiously and stood up. He glared at Philip. “How dare you? Bastard! You are such a shame!”

Buzzi Albert’s anger brought about an incomparably strong energy that swept through the entire room, putting everyone under fear and pressure.

Philip trembled in terror. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with a trembling voice, “Mr.

Labenz, L., I am sorry. Please forgive me.”
