Chapter 642: Chapter 641

Levant knew Evan well, and as there was a life at play between the two of them, Levant knew Evan would certainly go through heaven and hell to fight back.

It’s probably best for everything to end. I cannot rest well with this issue hanging over my head.

Evan, Stephen, Jeremy, and a handful of subordinates went up a hill near the estate.

“There’s a secret passage here?”

“That’s right. It will lead us straight to the estate’s study room.”

“If that’s the case, it’ll be much easier for us to deal with Levant.”

“Exactly! We’ll enter from this opening and move the boulder at the end of the tunnel. The passage is right behind it.”

Jeremy and the others worked together to move the boulder as soon as Stephen finished speaking. As promised, a passage revealed itself after they moved the boulder away.

“Follow me!”

Stephen led the way. Evan followed behind the man and suddenly thought of the need to dig a secret tunnel from his own house as well. It can serve as an emergency exit should any danger come at us.

“Where are they going?”

Nicole, who had been tailing them, went into the tunnel after them. She didn’t dare get too close to them, though, because she was worried about being discovered.

She also made sure not to stay too far away from the group, either. The place was dark and she was scared.

The men walked all the way to the end of the tunnel, where Stephen informed them that the study room was right behind the wall.

It was likely that Levant was still in the study room at the time, so someone suggested that they wait for a while.

“What are we waiting for? It’d be better if he is in the study. There are so many of us whereas he’s on his own. We won’t have to worry about not being able to handle him.”

“He’s right. We should strike while the iron is hot!”

Jeremy thought that his subordinates’ words made sense, so he turned to Evan.

Evan’s eyes shone as he made his mental calculations. Suddenly, he asked, “Do you think Levant will set a trap for us?”

Set a trap? Why did Mr. Seet suddenly say that?

“What do you mean, Mr. Seet?”

Evan remained quiet for a moment. He then instructed, “Jeremy, assign two men to send Sir Musgrave back.”

“No, I won’t leave. I cannot face Nicole if anything happens to you,” said Stephen.

“I won’t be able to face her, either, if anything happens to you.”

Hearing their conversation from some distance away, Nicole couldn’t help rolling her eyes. Oh, for the love of… I mean, can’t you both just leave if it’s so dangerous?

“Sir Musgrave, Mr. Seet, how about you both leave? I will handle the rest.”

Jeremy had just finished speaking when he saw Evan and Stephen opening the secret door to the study room together.

The room was empty; Levant was nowhere to be seen. Everyone walked in cautiously.

“Levant is not here, Mr. Seet. Should we hide?” asked Jeremy when he saw the empty room. He had just finished speaking when the door to the study suddenly flung open.

Levant had his guards with him and was glaring at the intruders.

Jeremy was flabbergasted.

Sh*t! Mr. Seet’s hunch was right. Levant actually set a trap for us!

“It’s been a while,” commented Levant as he walked into the room. His lips curved into a small grin when he saw the secret doorway.

“I honestly didn’t know about this secret door. Dad, why did you bring everyone over?”

Stephen took a step forward and look right into the man’s eyes. “Levant, if you can threaten us with the kids’ lives, we can also use underhanded methods to take back everything that doesn’t belong to you in the first place!”

Levant didn’t care, nor was he affected when he heard those words.

“Dad, you’ve already handed the title over to me, so please stop dreaming about getting it back. You spent the past twenty years raising me so I won’t make this difficult for you. Please leave on your own accord.” Levant then shifted his attention to Evan, his eyes looking colder.

“Evan Seet, I am truly astounded by your bravery. You actually tried to sneak into my estate?”

Confidence and pride crept up on Evan’s handsome face as his gaze locked in on Levant. “It’s time we settle our issues and get even, Levant.”

Getting even with me? Hah! He’s in my territory and my men are everywhere. I honestly have no idea why he is that confident.
