Chapter 590 - 590 Waiting for You to Die_1

“Mr. Thorneycroft, I want to kill him!”

In the Mercedes, Benson Dragon was trembling with rage.

Abroad, he was the strongest agent employee of Fabian Percival, known as ‘the Shadow’.

That implied that as long as Fabian Percival wasn’t around, he could replace him.

Whether it was a big boss or a local tycoon, all would have to treat him with utmost respect and politeness.

But today, in the insignificant Gonzalez City.

An ant he had never taken seriously actually slapped him in the face!

You should know that they had come with heads held high.

First, to kill Itai Huntington, then to eliminate Aron Jackson.

On New Year’s Eve, they planned to celebrate at the Brothel of the Bronze Sparrow.

But now?

Their plan had been meticulous, and with a traitor providing reliable information, they still failed to kill Itai Huntington.

Even Alonso Dragon had turned into a eunuch!

As for Fox Miller, his life or death was unknown.

There has been no news to this moment.

Looking at the current situation, it’s pretty much a botched job.

Yet Itai Huntington doesn’t seem to have a scratch on him?

“How do I usually teach you?”

Fabian Percival said displeasedly, “As a person, you must learn to be patient! A moment of patience leads to a calm sea. What’s the use of acting rashly against him now?”

“But I can’t swallow this insult!”

Benson Dragon looked out of the window, his eyes full of fury.

“You’ll have to swallow it even if you can’t! You’ve been too smooth overseas, you should go through such trials!”

After finishing, Fabian Percival’s tone softened, “We failed to act today and turned from active to passive. Endure this for now, and after we go back, we will make meticulous plans to come up with a new strategy tomorrow!”

“Understood, father.”

Benson Dragon took a deep breath and leaned back in his seat without speaking.

His heart was so full of anger that he had lost his reason.

If it weren’t for Fabian Percival holding him back, he would have gone straight to killing.

“Father, there’s something odd about that man today,”

Elwood Thorneycroft pondered with chin in hand, “What kind of man, so rash and impulsive, who even feeds off women, could make Itai Huntington commit to him? She’s a strong woman!”

They say women understand women best. She found Itai Huntington and Julius Reed to be a complete mismatch.

If it were up to her, any man would be better than one so rash, impulsive, and short-sighted.

“Rash, impulsive?”

Fabian Percival scoffed, “Where do you see that?”

“He straight up hit Dragon, what will that lead to? It will only escalate the tension between our families. Is that not courting disaster for Itai Huntington? Will we let this go?”

Elwood Thorneycroft snorted disdainfully, “He has no vision whatsoever, such a shallow person.”

In her view, Julius Reed’s actions would be unacceptable in the business world.

The upper echelons value face, and people give each other respect while being aware of the unsaid truths, which they do not openly challenge.

But Julius Reed, he went ahead and slapped Benson Dragon without considering the consequences.

If Fabian Percival didn’t intervene, what would the outcome be if the two sides really fought?

Unimaginable.

“You call that rash?”

Fabian Percival shook his head, expressing disappointment, “Vito, you haven’t made any progress.”

“What do you mean, father?”

Elwood Thorneycroft didn’t understand why her father would say such a thing about her.

Was what she had just said wrong?

“What you said are all normal acts. If it were someone else today, even if he heard it, he’d pretend he didn’t.”

Fabian Percival turned his head to look at Benson Dragon, “Dragon must’ve thought this way, he knew that even if Itai Huntington heard it, she could only pretend not to have heard. But what happened? This unconventional person slapped Dragon across the face, and I, feeling in the wrong, could only swallow the indignation.”

“Tell me, who won this round?”

“Moreover, we have already shown our true colors, no need for pretenses. The thing about sending someone to assassinate Itai Huntington, she already knows, we all understand clearly, there’s no need to worry about saving face.”

Hearing this, Dragon Hollyhock seemed to have some realization.

“Then father, what do you plan to do?”

“First, we eat, I’m hungry too. After we’re full, we’ll discuss further.”

Fabian Percival closed his eyes, leaning on the backseat of the Mercedes, “Quinzel Percival, can you escape from my Five Finger Mountain?”

…

The car finally stopped in front of a seafood restaurant.

Following Julius Reed’s requests, Itai Huntington took him to the best seafood restaurant in Gonzalez City.

Everyday Fishing Port.

Gonzalez City was a coastal city, so its seafood industry was particularly developed.

Not expensive and delicious.

Most importantly, fresh.

And Everyday Fishing Port was the banner of the Gonzalez City seafood industry.

Many visitors who came for its reputation, and tourists, would not miss out on such a restaurant to taste its delights.

The trio from the Thorneycroft family also got out of the car and leisurely walked toward the restaurant entrance.

“Everyday Fishing Port! The taste here is good!”

Fabian Percival, looking up at the sign, exclaimed sentimentally, “How many years have passed in an instant, I used to love eating here back in the day. Fortunately, I’m back.”

He smiled at Itai Huntington, “Thanks to Miss Huntington’s hospitality, as soon as I arrived here, I am reminded of the past. Time really does make one grow old!”

“Well, you can reminisce slowly, I’m hungry, I’ll go in first.”

Julius Reed walked straight in, with no regard for giving way to Fabian Percival.@@novelbin@@

This left the three standing awkwardly in place.

“Outrageous!”

Elwood Thorneycroft watched Julius Reed’s retreating figure, gritting his teeth.

“Let’s go.”

Fabian Percival’s expression darkened as he walked briskly into the restaurant.

Five people made their way to the third-floor dining area of Everyday Fishing Port.

The consumption here was not expensive, but the taste was very good.

Therefore business was booming.

Plus, it was mealtime, so the restaurant was not lacking in patrons.

After sitting down, Julius Reed unapologetically started ordering the dishes he wanted: hairy crabs, lobsters, and everything he felt like eating.

It didn’t matter whether he could finish it all, someone else was picking up the tab.

Then the three from the Thorneycroft family also made their selections and waited for the food to arrive.

All five, preoccupied with their own thoughts, barely spoke.

“Mr. Thorneycroft, what brings you back to Gonzalez City this time?”

Itai Huntington broke the silence.

“I really want to know, at your age, what’s the point of wading into the mire of Gonzalez City again?”

“When one grows old, their concerns lighten,” Fabian Percival replied with a faint smile, pouring himself a cup of tea before he lamented, “The leaves return to the root, I don’t have much time left at this age, and I thought when a hundred years pass, I want to be buried where I once struggled.”

“Really?”

Itai Huntington let out a scoff, “If that’s truly how you feel, you’ve come a bit early. Look at you, so strong and healthy, you won’t have problems for another two or three decades.”

“Ah! Even though that’s true, after having left for so many years, I still want to see what my hometown has turned into.”

Fabian Percival chuckled, appearing very much like a kindly old man.

“That’s simple. When you die, we can just bring your ashes back here, can’t we?”

Upon hearing this, Fabian Percival almost spit out his mouthful of tea.
