Chapter 186 Bad News Arrived. Old Lewis’ Anger
Bernardo was sitting at the head of the table!
On his face was a faint smile, and he looked like he was quite confident!
“It’s been ten minutes.”
Rocco, the head of the Lewis family, looked at the time and laughed, “We’ve done our best to gather so many Dark Energy fighters this time, just to clean up those leftover of the Campbell family. I think it will be a quick victory.”
“I reckon the battle should almost be over by now.”
Ten minutes ago, when they had already surrounded Zackary and the others in the Moore Group building, one of the old men from the Mason family made a call to Bernardo.
So!
They knew very well that the battle over in Hilshire had already begun!
If Sean and those reinforcements gathered by Pupil Wolf and Soul Wolf hadn’t appeared, they would only have to deal with Zackary and his people, and ten minutes would indeed be enough to end the battle!
“I think so.”
“The Campbell family only has two Complete Stage fighters. One of them just can’t leave the capital, and as for the other one, he might not even have a chance to escape in the face of our four Complete Stage fighters.”
“They just don’t have a chance!”
Several other family heads spoke up and agreed. It seemed that in their eyes, this so-called battle was nothing more than a game of eagle catching chick, with no suspense.
And Bernardo just waited quietly, never saying anything.
The reason was very simple!
Bernardo never told them about what really happened at the Cloudy Villa, about the Buddha Bone Powder, and also, about his speculation that there would probably be an ambush in Hilshire!
If he had told them, they might not have been so confident and relaxed as they were now!
Even!
They might not have been so quick to agree to his request to send their strongest forces to Hilshire!
After all…
While they were happy to go and share a sure cake, they would never risk themselves pulling him out of a pit.
When they saw Bernardo’s grave face, Rocco even smiled and said comfortingly, “Brother, there is no need to worry. Sean is dead, and don’t let those trash bother you.”
“Trust me!”
“They definitely won’t last more than a quarter of an hour!”
“We can wait for another five minutes, and if there is still no news yet, I will…”
Just as Rocco was halfway through his sentence, the ear-piercing ringing of a cell phone was suddenly heard!
It was Bernardo’s cell phone!
Everyone was stunned, while Rocco laughed with a smug face, “Look, what did I just say?”
“Hahahaha…”
“Brother, answer the phone, and we are looking forward to having a good drink tonight.”
The rest of the few people also followed suit, “Hurry up!”
Bernardo hesitated a little, then took out his cell phone. On the phone screen, it was the number of one of the two old men. He finally secretly sighed with relief.
It seemed that they succeeded!
The battle was over and the old man was unharmed. If it was not a success, what else could it be?
So, Bernardo pressed the answer button, put the phone to his ear, and smiled, “Hey, it’s me. How did things go…”
“Bernardo!”
However, before Bernardo could finish his words, the old man on the other end of the phone said in a stern voice, “It’s a trap!”
“They have an ambush!”
“And!”
“Not only did Sean not die, but he suddenly appeared in Hilshire. He caught us by surprise!”
The matter was important. Without wasting a single word, that old man briefly told Bernardo the general situation in one breath!
In an instant, Bernardo’s smile froze on his face!
His face was ashen!
“Brother, what’s wrong?”
The laughter in the room came to an abrupt halt, and Rocco and the others naturally noticed Bernardo’s expression. They glanced at each other, and their hearts jolted.
Shit!
There couldn’t really be any accident, right?
“Gentlemen, please wait a moment, I will be back soon.”
Bernardo grimaced and did not tell Rocco and the others what the old man said, but stood up and left the room alone.
The people left there looked at each other, all confused.
“Could it be that…”
“They lost?”
They stared at the back of Bernardo, and Benedict, the head of the Young family, frowned, “It shouldn’t be.”
“In such a small city, maybe they couldn’t even find a Late Stage fighter. Even if the Campbell family have got some helpers, we have over a hundred fighters!”
After thinking about it, he guessed, “Could it be something else?”
The rest of the few people nodded and said, “It’s possible…”
The Mason family’s business was very complicated, and as a leading figure of the family, Bernardo had to deal with a lot of things every day. It was very possible that he just received a call about something else!
However, just when those people were hoping to comfort themselves with this thought, they heard an ear-piercing ringing once again!
And this time, it was Rocco’s cell phone!
“Here it comes!”
Rocco took out his cell phone and took a look at it, and then he was overjoyed and laughed, “It’s my grandfather!”
Rocco’s grandfather was exactly that Old Lewis!
The rest of them were completely relieved and said, “Since your grandfather called you personally, he must have ended the battle and killed all those Campbells!”
“Hey! Grandpa!”
Rocco couldn’t wait to get on the phone, and deliberately turned on the speaker, wanting to show off a bit in front of Benedict and the others.
Benedict was also happy and he immediately pricked up his ears.
“Son of a bitch!”
The next moment, the voice coming from the phone was indeed Old Lewis’ voice, yet his voice was filled with anger. They clearly felt the wrath of Old Lewis on the other side of the phone!
Everyone, including Rocco, was stunned.
What the hell?
Old Lewis bellowed, “Good for you, Stinker! You fucking think I’ve lived long enough, don’t you?”
“You just want me to die early, don’t you?”
“Just wait for me to go back!”
Stinker…
This was how the family called Rocco when he was much younger, and even in the Lewis family, only a few elders dared to call him that. After all, Rocco was now the head of the Lewis family, with an honorable status!
Rocco’s face turned ashen. What’s going on?
Shit!
He had deliberately turned on the speaker, hoping he could take the opportunity to show off a bit. Now he had nothing to brag about but Old Lewis’ ranting! He was all confused.
“Grandpa, what are you…”
Rocco gulped hard. His voice was shaking, and his right hand holding the phone was trembling violently. He cautiously asked, “Can you tell me what is going on?”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Tell my ass!”
Old Lewis had a short temper. Even though Rocco was his grandson, he did not care about that at all. He was already seething, “What did you tell me before I came?”
“You told me that the Campbell family only has a Complete Stage fighter, it will be an easy job, and maybe I don’t even have to do anything!”
“That’s fucking bullshit!”
“There are suddenly four Complete Stage guys there and over eighty Dark Energy fighters. If I had just run any slower, you’d never have heard me again!”
Snap!
When they heard his words, Rocco instantly froze in place. He had been completely frozen, only to feel his scalp tingling and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He felt a chill down his back. His hand shook and the phone immediately slipped from his hand and fell on the floor…
