Chapter 427: Chapter 427

Chapter 427:

“Alright, it’s a deal. I’ll spare half the members of the Copper Phantoms.” With that, Harlee exited.

Left alone in the private room, Matteo succumbed to his frustration, demolishing everything around him.

Despite his long-standing rule over the underworld, he had never faced such a powerful enemy.

Just then, Hale arrived. Observing Matteo’s frenzied destruction, Hale’s lips twisted into a derisive smile, which soon morphed into loud, mocking laughter, his voice thick with sarcasm.

Then, abruptly, a sharp slap rang out, delivered with full force.

Hale’s head jerked to the side, a trickle of blood running from the corner of his mouth. Stunned by the unexpected blow, Hale shot Matteo a piercing look.

Despite Matteo’s cold, piercing stare, Hale remained unshaken, his twisted grin deliberately unsettling Matteo.

“Matteo, how does it feel to be cornered after ruling for so long? Don’t worry. It’s only going to happen more frequently from now on!”

Matteo’s face was icy, a cold snort escaping him, filled with disdain.

“Can’t you see the situation? Without the protection of the Copper Phantoms, you’d have been dead already. Still living in the fantasy that Harlee loves you? Let me be blunt. She has a boyfriend. You mean nothing to her!”

The words “she has a boyfriend” drove Hale into a rage.

He snatched the gun from the table and jammed it against Matteo’s head. Matteo’s face tensed for a moment but quickly regained his usual calm.

“If you dare, pull the trigger! Let’s see if you can leave this place alive!”

Hale’s eyes burned into Matteo, his finger trembling on the trigger, but he found himself unable to shoot. In a burst of anger, he hurled the gun to the floor.

A wild grin spread across Hale’s face, and he suggested, “Matteo, since Uwhor is under your control, why don’t we go all out and lock up Harlee in the manor?”

Matteo fell silent, pondering his brother’s reckless suggestion, then turned to Clayton, who was trying to keep a low profile.

“How long did it take her to wipe out the Ivory Skeletons?” Matteo asked.

“Under thirty minutes.”

“And the Copper Phantoms?”

“It will be a little longer, probably over an hour.

But if Miss Sanderson hasn’t said anything, we may not find out until the Copper Phantoms are completely destroyed,” Clayton replied, his tone grave.

Hale paused, his gaze intense, and a mocking smile spread across his face.

After years of separation, he realized he couldn’t match Harlee’s strength anymore. It seemed he would have to begin with her boyfriend.

The following day, at the Green Group, Hamilton swung open the CEO’s office door, placing the day’s paperwork on the desk, and quickly stepped aside to report the schedule.

“This afternoon, we have a meeting with Mr. Gill about a potential partnership, and there’s a corporate dinner scheduled for the evening.

Additionally, I’ve secured the details on Matteo as per your request.

Here is his information, along with the details of the project our company is considering with him.

Also, I’ve uncovered why Miss Sanderson’s return was postponed. Matteo sent a squad of top-tier assassins to eliminate her. Not only did they fail, but they also suffered the loss of two of their gangs.”
