Chapter 924: Chapter 923

“I bet you’re the one behind everything that happened back in the jail!” Darius added with a huff.

Levant clenched his fists and growled, “Shut up! Take them away and lock them up!”

“Oh, are you mad, Mr. Levant?” Damien asked with a chuckle.

“Yeah! You are even talking about locking us up. You can dream on!” Jeremy taunted, raising his fists in preparation for a fight.

The tension in the air mounted. However, before a fight could break out, another person walked into the tunnel.

“Levant, Dad’s still in the hospital. Why are you picking a fight instead of visiting him?” a woman’s voice rang.

The speaker was Avril. She glanced at Evan and his subordinates and decided to help him. Evan’s on good terms with Sir Musgrave, so I’m sure saving him would make him happy…

Maybe he’ll let me into the estate if I do that!

“That’s enough, Avril!” Levant bellowed, glaring at her. “I’ll visit him when I’m done dealing with these pests!”

Avril huffed and walked over to Evan and stood between him and Levant. “You’ll have to get past me first if you want to hurt them!” she snarled at Levant.

No guard would dare to hurt the young mistress of the Wicked Palace.

The guards exchanged glances as they were confused.

Avril was not favored by Murphy, but she was his oldest daughter nonetheless. Hurting her would mean certain death for them.

With that, the guards turned around to face Levant, waiting for his orders.

Levant stared at Avril with a deep frown. “Go away! This is none of your business!”

“What are you talking about!” Avril protested. “I have a say in anything that happens in the Wicked Palace!”

Levant gritted his teeth. “Guards! Drag her away!”

“What? Levant! You’ll never hear the end of this!” Avril yelled.

The guards hesitated, and one of Levant’s henchmen stepped forward to break the silence. “Apologies, Ms. Avril!”

With that, two guards grabbed her by the arms and hauled her out of the tunnel roughly.

Avril continued to scream even as the guards dragged her out. “Levant! I’m your older sister! How could you! Levant!”

The Hidden Masters sighed. Even Ms. Avril couldn’t save us! Looks like we’ll have to fight it out after all..

“Levant!” Evan voice out suddenly. “This is between the two of us. Let’s keep it between us. There is no need to get everyone involved so I will stay back and you let everyone go!”

“Mr. Seet!”

“You can’t do that, Mr. Seet! We aren’t leaving you here!”

“That’s right! We’re staying with you!”

The Hidden Masters protested against Evan’s orders, while John simply grimaced.

Who’s going to save us if all of us died in the fight? Mr. Seet will be able to count on us for backup if we stayed out of the fight! If worse comes to worst…at least we’ll be able to ask for help elsewhere!

There’s no point in being foolhardy without weighing the consequences.

He coughed lightly and said, “Alright then, we’ll take Mr. Seet’s order and let’s go.”

“John! Are you scared of?” Jensen asked, glaring at him.

“You’re such a coward!” Jeremy bellowed.

“John, you’re…huh?”

Darius cut himself off and sighed loudly. Damien narrowed his eyes, as though he had understood John’s true intentions.

However, they did not want to leave without having a good fight. Maybe they could stand a chance to get Mr. Seet out.

John was unfazed. You’re just being reckless!

Suddenly, Nicole piped up. “Let the innocent ones go, Levant!”

“The innocent ones?” Levant scoffed. “And who would that be?”

You’re just going to cause even more trouble for me in the future if I let them go!
